More on PETA

[Guest guest]

If you're interested in learning more about PETA and their views on

women, people of color, transgender people, and many other oppressed

groups, I suggest starting with the blog post:

For a deeper analysis of how these issues manifest in animal advocacy, I

suggest reading the excellent archives of The Vegan Ideal:

I used to support a different animal welfare corporation, despite their

use of sexist stereotypes, justifying it to myself by thinking of the

purported good they were doing for non-human animals. At some point, I

realized that I wouldn't be part of a group in any other context that

tolerated (much less promoted) sexism, so why was I doing so here?
