PETA TO AL GORE: YOU CAN’T BE A MEAT-EATING ENVIRONMENTALIST

PETA TO AL GORE: YOU CAN’T BE A MEAT-EATING ENVIRONMENTALIST Tue Mar 06 2007 17:08:05 ET

The Most ‘Inconvenient Truth’: According to U.N., Animals Raised for Food Generate More Greenhouse Gases Than All Cars and Trucks Combined

Norfolk, Va. — This morning, PETA sent a letter to former vice president Al Gore explaining to him that the best way to fight global warming is to go vegetarian and offering to cook him faux “fried chicken” as an introduction to meat-free meals. In its letter, PETA points out that Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth—which starkly outlines the potentially catastrophic effects of global warming and just won the Academy Award for “Best Documentary”—has failed to address the fact that the meat industry is the largest contributor to greenhouse-gas emissions.

In the letter, PETA points out the following:

· The effect that our meat addiction is having on the climate is truly staggering. In fact, in its recent report “Livestock’s Long Shadow—Environmental Issues and Options,” the United Nations determined that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined.

· Researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering global warming than switching from a standard American car to a Toyota Prius.

PETA also reminds Gore that his critics love to question whether he practices what he preaches and suggests that by going vegetarian, he could cut down on his contribution to global warming and silence his critics at the same time.

“The single best thing that any of us can do to for our health, for animals, and for the environment is to go vegetarian,” says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. “The best and easiest way for Mr. Gore to show his critics that he’s truly committed to fighting global warming is to kick his meat habit immediately.”

"· Researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering global warming than switching from a standard American car to a Toyota Prius."

And what happens to all the animals that we don't eat? We have to feed them which means we need chemicals to go into the soil to produce more food. We will need land to pen all the animals in so we will have to cut down more trees. This in turn will diminish our capacity to convert the carbon dioxide to oxygen. Which of course would contribute to global warming.

If you ask me, it seems that meat causes global warming and we will need to get rid of the meat. Now how could we do this? Hmmmmmmm.........

I am so damn sick and tired of people telling me what I can and can't do. I could give a dump about PETA's agenda.

Crop production kills more wild animals than pasturing cattle. Therefore, being a vegan is worse than being a steak-eating carnivore. Only airatarians are environmentally friendly -- provided that they don't expel any carbon dioxide.

They finally admit their (at least) dual agenda: environmental extremism includes a vegetarian / vegan lifestyle.

Reminds me of Hillary saying we will take things away from you for your good. WE WILL DECIDE HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIVES, you scum.

[the rat and the snake] "it's a shame they can't BOTH lose."

Sure they can! The worthless PETA snake strangles the rat, and then when the big fat lying Gore-rat gets stuck in its throat, the snake dies too.

And everybody wins!

Inconvenient Truth for Al Gore:

Mars Is Warming, NASA Scientists Report Data coincide with increasing solar output -----The planet Mars is undergoing significant global warming, new data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) show, lending support to many climatologists' claims that the Earth's modest warming during the past century is due primarily to a recent upsurge in solar energy.

I love when Demos and Libs eat their own

sorry, PETA doesn't believe in eating meat...so they will just kill him and throw him in a dumpster, 'cause that is ok with them.

Hell, looking at Al in this picture we should be more concerned that he wipe out an entire species.
