Here is John Varley's (one of my favourite SF authors) view on PETA; he makes some interesting points (imho)

http://www.varley.net/Pages/VarleyYa...%2024%2005.htm

His summation is -
Bottom line:

If you CHOOSE not to eat meat, eggs, and dairy product because you think it will make you healthier, you’re probably right, and I’m behind you all the way.

If you CHOOSE not to eat meat, wear fur or leather, or use make-up that was tested on animals or medical procedures developed by testing with animals, that’s your right. We disagree, but you can do what you please.

But if you CHOOSE to do any of the above and thereby set yourself up as somehow morally superior to me ... you can kiss my carnivorous ass.
