On a CSUN journalism student’s blog (on the school newspaper’s website), I found this post criticizing a letter PETA sent to Ben & Jerry’s. I don’t like PETA. However, I am baffled as to why this future “journalist” couldn’t be bothered to check his facts before posting his opinion on the matter. I posted the following comment, which is awaiting moderation and probably won’t be approved because, unlike the other 1 comment, I criticized his post. I should have posted my URL with my comment, I don’t know why I was too chicken to do it.
I hate PETA with a passion for reasons I won’t get into, and I’m a vegetarian, not a vegan. What they were trying to do, though, in their own patently extremist way, is to make a point. Breast milk is for human babies, cow’s milk is for calves. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp.
If you’d like to find out why vegans are so vehemently against dairy products, do a little research. Google it, for crying out loud. In fact, if you knew how to check your facts, you could EASILY have found out what PETA’s point was at their own website, posted a WEEK before you posted this.
