PETA makes some really good points
This man caused Katrina
It’s not SUVs that are causing global warming, it’s the dudes in chicken suits who drive them.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Peta, are preparing a Hummer car with a driver wearing a chicken suit and banner proclaiming meat as the main cause of global warming. They plan to park it near a White House-sponsored climate forum in Washington in September.
We don’t want to make light of what PETA’s doing because we like PETA. We also like the fact that they don’t mind paying to rent a hummer, filling it with gas and driving it around or whatever to make their point about global warming, but you can bet money on the fact there will beno caged animals anywhere in sight… just an asshole in a chicken suit. Hopefully, for the grand finale, they’ll set the Hummer on fire, but since that might cause the death of a bunch of microbes or something, don’t count on it.

It’s amazing this issue isn’t getting more coverage. Folks like Al Gore make a big deal about global warming, but they always fail to mention the impact of animal agriculture on our environment. It’s a fact that the number one cause of global warming is animal agriculture, not to mention it’s the leading cause of topsoil corrosion, the leading cause of deforestation in the rain forests and on top of all of that it leaves us in fear of fun diseases like mad cow disease and avian flu. It’s also true that over one-third of the land surface of the Earth is being used to graze livestock. That’s insane. And it can only get worse as the population of the Earth increases, assuming these issues continue to go unaddressed.
Anyway, I’m glad somebody is trying to bring attention to it, but it’s unfortunate that it just happens to be the only organization in the United States that rivals Al Qaeda in unpopularity.
