She's supposedly a vegetarian and is friends with Walk the Line co-star Joaquin Phoenix who is a huge animal rights activist and vegan. PETA is very happy. I still don't understand what she was doing. She knew it was an animal skin.and she spent $4,000 on it?

Nothing like this has ever done here and we are showing the first images of Spanish farms -we have previously done an investigation on Spanish slaughterhouses www.mataderos.info ), so we want to get media & society attention about it and give them a vegan message. We don't advocate "happy meat" but veganism.

You wouldn't expect Pollan or Oprah to deliver a vegan or animal rights message and they didn't. Alicia Silverstone was on the show as a spokesperson for the health benefits and other benefits of veganism. And I won't say she's not a "real vegan," as I'm not the vegan police. Nothing wrong with any of that.

One guy runs Vegan Outreach and the other is a VP at PETA (they have those?). It's titled "The Animal Activists' Handbook: Maximizing Our Positive Impact in Today's World" by Matt Ball and Bruce Friedrich. Here's a review on Huffington Post. Looks like it has some interesting ideas.

For example, why is it so hard for our family members and co-workers – many of whom have companion animals that they love – to cut cruelty from their diets and go vegan? Ingrid Newkirk, Director of PETA, raves that “This should be mandatory reading for everyone with a good heart and a good cause.”.

Hal Herzog’s “ Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat ” (Harper 2011), though fascinating, is ultimately depressing for vegans and animal rights activists. Well, as it turns out neither a trip to a slaughterhouse nor killing an animal yourself is powerful enough to make people go vegan. What about their horror?

Some fight for veganism, some against factory farms, some against experimentation, poaching, habitat encroachment, etc. I also believe that we are a fragmented movement. There is a group for every cause. But how much can we accomplish when our resources are so divided? Who is our leader? Best Friends? The Humane Society?

Vegan education/advocacy for animals is easiest for me when I know my audience. PETA's been using horrifying images for years. And by "know," I mean I have a relationship with them and/or I understand what drives them, what they appreciate and what they can tolerate.

I'm not saying they all have it or that they understand destruction and cruelty and their actions have those intentions, but I wonder if vegan parents have to fight what they see as wiring, or if it simply depends on the child, or if it depends on the parent.

However, both his perceptions and misconceptions are based on: 1) observing the work of PeTA and HSUS; and 2) the assumption that those two organizations are in the same category--"animal rights." If you can get through the article's pernicious nonsense, there are some salient points, albeit the result of confusion on the part of the author.

I say "if you know someone" because this isn't a book I'd recommend to vegans for their vegan education efforts. The vegans I know would probably find it a bit maddening, and here's why: We aren't sure whether Foer is a vegan. In all fairness, most people's only reference is PETA. Not great, but good.

Therefore, one of the many things we need, aside from the obvious of more vegan parents, is a line of nonspeciesist books for each age/stage. There might be a handful of PeTA efforts around suffering, and there is " That's Why We Don't Eat Animals ," but what we need is a series--a franchise that makes veganism appealing.

The meat and dairy industries want to keep their operations away from the public’s discriminating eyes, but as groups like PETA and the Humane Society have shown us in their graphic and disturbing undercover investigations, factory farms are mechanized madness and slaughterhouses are torture chambers to these unfortunate and feeling beings.
