The thing I hate most about PETA is that they prompt immature people, even when justifiably angered, to react to their anti-things campaigns by indulging in those very things. Suggesting that fur is "ethical for all" is just disgusting. Do they know that a lot of that is cat or dog fur mislabeled as the fur of species we care less about killing?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('759','meerkat'); return false;"></br> What do you think?</a> </div> I like the pro-fat pro-fur ad *just as much* as the anti-fat anti-meat ad, which is to say not at all.

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:26:13 +0000 http://thecurvyfashionista.mariedenee.com/?p=1487#comment-757 I didn't so much see it as a saying that fat people are meat-eaters. I saw it more as a "F*ck you, here's a fat and fabulous woman in fur." It was more of a low blow to PETA than a comment on fat people. Granted, they could have taken the high rode, but I understand being pissed enough to flaunt the fur as "revenge" for PETA's childish antics Peace, Shannon<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('757','Atchka!'); return false;"></br> What do you think?</a> </div> I didn’t so much see it as a saying that fat people are meat-eaters.

As a fat rights activist, I was appalled by Peta's campaign, but as a vegetarian, I also feel that it's not only something I absolutely cannot get behind, but that it also reinforces Peta's stereotypes of fat people as meat-eaters.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('755','Rachel'); return false;"></br> What do you think?</a> </div> I have to agree with Vidya… As a fat rights activist, I was appalled by Peta’s campaign, but as a vegetarian, I also feel that it’s not only something I absolutely cannot get behind, but that it also reinforces Peta’s stereotypes of fat people as meat-eaters.
