PETA Unleashes Killer Cows

T hat Star Trek motto about “going boldly” might as well be PETA’s. One member who knows that is Barbara Adams. She was called for jury duty during the Clinton-Whitewater trial in 1996 and captured massive media attention when she wore her Fleet Command uniform to court. It’s what she wears every day! As Barbara explained, she sports the uniform because she wants everyone to know that she lives by Star Trek values, such as inclusion, tolerance, and peace. The crew’s prime directive is also PETA’s: Everyone must take responsibility for ensuring that no one is enslaved or bullied. While not every life form speaks the same language or looks the same, all must be respected. If that isn’t a true animal rights outlook, I don’t know what is.

It’s great that Starbucks offers nondairy milk, but why does it charge extra? The added cost is like a tax on helping animals, public health, and the environment. PETA is campaigning to end the udderly ridiculous upcharge with protests at the java giant’s headquarters and online calls to action that have generated more than 155,000 e-mails and texts to the company. PETA Presses Starbucks to Stop Bilking Vegans

Since 1970, more than 90% of cleared Amazon rainforest has been used for either grazing or growing feed for cattle – and this practice helped fuel last summer’s record-setting wildfires. PETA placed a series of visceral ads near college campuses and one of the oldest tanneries in the US, pointing out that people who consume meat and buy leather contribute to the destruction of the rainforest and all its inhabitants, from parrots to monkeys. To view and share the ads, which were designed by German advertising agency fischerAppelt, visit PETA.org/AmazonFires .

LOVE ALL! EVERYONE WINS WITH WIMBLEDON’S VEGAN CREAM Texas A&M University’s Board of Regents meeting got a short, sharp shock when Oscar-nominated actor and PETA ally James Cromwell used his famous voice to demand that the school end its pointless and cruel muscular dystrophy experiments on golden retrievers. “I am appalled at the regents’ lack of compassion!” Cromwell told the attendees before being led away in handcuffs. “Do the right thing! Free these dogs!” Go, James, go! Together, we will get those dogs out. James Cromwell Gets Locked Up to Free Imprisoned Dogs

materialized” or “beamed up” from a “replicator.”

It’s 2020 – not 2345 – but there are already signs that the future depicted in Star Trek is coming to pass. A Spanish company called NovaMeat is developing technology to create vegan steak on a three-dimensional printer (much like the show’s replicator). Stem cell biologist Dr. Nicholas Genovese, whose cultured-meat research was partly funded by PETA, cofounded Memphis Meats, which has created the first lab-grown meatball and chicken meat. Boosted by support from Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and even animal-killing giant Tyson, the company aims to have “clean” chicken in stores by 2021. Imagine a world in which everyone lived by Star Trek’s prime directive, in which everyone – regardless of the color of their skin or whether they had fur, feathers, or scales – had the right to “live long and prosper.” We can do much more than imagine it: We can help make it happen, and with your help, PETA plans to do just that.

The tide appears to be turning: Within weeks of PETA’s call for a US Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into SeaWorld’s disingenuousness regarding its mistreatment of dolphins, the abusement park’s CEO resigned – after holding the job for only seven months – and 100 employees were laid off.

In a compelling new PETA ad, Haven actor Eric Balfour tells fans that going to SeaWorld contributes to animals’ torture. “They belong in the open ocean,” he says.
