PETA attacks Gore for diet

[DesertFox]

He may be the hero of the environmental movement for his crusade against global warming but Al Gore is about to be targeted by animal rights activists over his carnivorous contribution to greenhouse gases.

fires as PETA rages

Citing United Nations research that the meat industry is worse for the environment than driving and flying, animal rights groups are directing a campaign at the former American vice-president's diet.

When he delivers a lecture on global warming in Denver next month, protesters will display billboards bearing a cartoon image of Mr Gore eating a drumstick and the message: "Too chicken to go vegetarian? Meat is the No 1 cause of global warming".

The campaign is being organised by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) and is backed by other animal rights groups.

This is what happens when causes reach the level of religious extremisim.

[DesertFox]

Far beyond religious extremism, PETA inhabits the precincts of the psychotic.

Would it help if he bought carbon offsets for the gases produced by the cattle he eats?

[DeclinetoState]

Well, the cows contribute to the carbon "problem" while they're alive, don't they? So isn't it better for the carbon footprint that Al is chowing down on them?

:confused:

Well, he is certainly full of something. Gas is only part of it.
