PETA's Mideast peace plan: 'Give Peas a Chance'

JERUSALEM — A leading animal advocacy group said the road to Mideast peace begins in a pita. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has requested Israel's permission to post pro-vegetarian signs on both sides of its barriers with the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

PETA's signs are in Hebrew and in English. They feature Israelis and Palestinians sitting down for a meat-free meal along with the slogans: "Give Peas a Chance," and "Nonviolence Begins on Our Plates: Go Vegetarian."

"Every time that we eat, we can choose not to participate in violence," PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk wrote Wednesday in a letter. "While choosing a falafel sandwich over a lamb kebab doesn't create instant peace, it reduces the sum total of violence and suffering in the world."

Personally, I don't see how going vegetarian will stop violence. Hitler was a vegetarian.

:brent

PETA has long had the delusion that eating meat requires mercilessly killing the animal yourself. hence their "your mom is a murderer" campaign that they aimed at children.

Will someone please lock that Ingrid Newkirk in a loony bin already?

Must make her happy...it drives the rest of us nuts! Although we do often get a good laugh at her expense.

Good point. :lol:

The good thing about peas, if you spray them with WD40 they make great bait for catching sea kittens!!:lol:

I do think, though, that PETA were probably a respectable organisation in the past. I don't think they were so bad in the late 80s/early 90s were they?

I know River Phoenix used to support them. Although if he was around today, I imagine he would be shocked at some of the things they do.
