animal rights in the media

On Family Guy last Sunday, Peter eats too many mcBurgers and has a mcStroke. In response to losing his lawsuit, he breaks into the slaughterhouse and frees the lead cow. While pushing it a bit, (they compare the senseless slaughter of animals to the Holocaust), the writers help bring awareness to an issue that we see more and more frequently in America and in the media. In the end, the cow thanks all his supporters, the "homo-sexual salad eaters" of America.

Vegans and animal rights supporters need to alter the image the media has of caring, healthy people.

It's a known fact that Al Gore simply won't acknowledge that Big Cow in America is a lead cause of global warming. Gore grew up on a ranch, so his denial makes perfect sense. But if we can't get the leader of global warming to make this concession, than who will?

Also in the media, PETA's daring new ad campaign to get your pets neutered. PETA compares teenage pregnancy to not spaying and neutering pets. http://www.peta.org/feat/abc/
Living in Philadelphia, I can see the comparison, Seriously!We have as bad a feral cat problem as we do teenage pregnancies . PETA, I don't think you're crazy!
