So...they're basically hypocrites? They're earning money from companies which earn their profit by selling meat.

Of course they'd never cop to it-they'd claim it was "necessary" to try to STOP people eating meat, but the fact remains they are HYPOCRITES.

HA! I love it!

The idea that gassing chickens is more humane than lopping off their heads is idiotic. It is to appease their own anthropomorphism. I assure you, if you take a hatchet to a chicken's neck, it dies instantaneously. Gassing a chicken sounds really perverse. I think PETA members are like that weird chic in college who insists she is a vegetarian, but you catch her in the bathroom sticking her fingers down her throat and a week later you hear that she set fire to her boyfriend's clothes in a fit of rage.

While I do not endorse PETA even slightly, they do have a very bold point about the correct treatment of chickens. If the person above me was educated, he or she would know that they do NOT simply cut off a chicken's neck to kill it. That would be far more humane. I suggest you look into what the meat industry and factory farms actually do to their animals and the living conditions under which the animals have to survive. And I have no idea how you link being a vegetarian to burning someone's clothing and throwing up - most veggies are very normal, health-conscious people.

Gassing chickens might be a better alternative, but I believe PETA is going about it all wrong. Buying stock in a company that sells meat? As someone said above, that does mean they are receiving a profit. Perhaps they should look into a better, non-conflicting method of promoting their ideas.

Laura Dear,
I am quite educated, and the correct treatment of chicken is to bread it and fry it up!
