    The Tortoise at Woodstock

    What a wonderful video and story!


    (Though I have to admit, I was saying "watcha fingers!!" during pretty much the entire kale-chomping scene. Chomp!)

    Dear PETA, We're Awaiting Your Apologies

    I disliked PETA back when I ate meat, and I dislike them just as much now that I'm a very committed vegan.


    I can appreciate that PETA wants to see an end to animal suffering... and I really do appreciate that Ingird Newkirk takes in a relatively modest salary... but their tactics are just terrible. I find myself, as a vegan, often having to clarify that I'm not "one of those PETA nuts". So much of their outreach is based on shock, wild publicity, and the exploitation of naked (usually female) human bodies. Add to that their curiously eager support of "happy meat" (giving an award to Temple Grandin? Calling for a "more humane" method of slaughter for KFC's chickens?) and their rather questionable methods of running an animal shelter, and I've never wanted anything to do with them.


    I can just about guarantee that no apologies will be forthcoming. If anything, I'm sure PETA is just delighted that there's so much buzz and attention going on around this incredibly offensive billboard.
