Yeah, that information came from someone hired by meat industry giants like KFC to run a smear campaign against PETA - he’s a PR guy who specializes smear campaigns against people or groups that hurt corporate profits.

Alright, so are you actually arguing that shaming is intimidation, intimidation is fear, and terrorism is using fear for activism, and therefore shaming fur-wearing celebrities makes PETA a terrorist organization?

Alright, but I wouldn’t exactly say that’s what PETA does either? The paint thing would be the closest that I know of, but that’s about shaming people, not intimidating them.

Well, I became a vegetarian before I knew there were welfare issues in the animal agricultural industry - I didn’t want to support an industry inherently based around killing animals if I could just eat other stuff.

I mean, people who are vegan for the environment or the animals are effectively activists doing a boycott of an industry they believe to be unethical. Isn’t it the job of activists to speak up, try to spread their message to the public?

That’s nice for the chickens you raised, but doesn’t have much to do with how chickens are farmed in a modern industrial system.

Actually wait, throwing paint on people might be illegal... Though it’s still not terrorism. Terrorists are violent by definition.

I’m not really a fan of PETA all round, but what have they done that makes them terrorists? Saying stupid stuff to get attention doesn’t make them terrorists, and AFAIK they don’t even do anything illegal in the course of their activism.

Pretty sure there aren’t many people going vegan or vegetarian because they’re worried there aren’t enough chickens. Animal rights and species conservation are two entirely different conversations.

It absolutely sounds like we’re talking about the same behind the scenes drama, and yeah, I agree with you on how it changed the original plans for S2.

Please point out the part of my comment wherein I rationalized that indirectly killing is fine? I can’t see where I said or quoted anything that could even be misinterpreted to mean that.

It does have a similar premise and themes, so the odds are good, yes.

Thank you! I felt like I was nuts reading this, because to me it seemed super obvious that it was Wynonna, and yet apparently all these other fans of the show couldn’t see it. It was like

I googled Melanie Scrofano, who plays Wynonna, and she also has a mole on her neck there, so yeah. I think my assumption was correct.

Maybe I just need new glasses, but isn’t that our titular character Wynonna? It’s kind of hard to tell because of the close-up and she’s got her hair tied back, but still.

I haven’t seen a lot of these, but I approve of this list just for including Bound. It’s both my favourite heist movie and my favourite mafia movie.

But you are killing fewer animals, and harming the environment less.

Are you sure being a “lactation blogger,” is a vegan thing? I’m vegan, hang out in a vegan community on the interweb, and have never heard that term before. Apparently it means blogging about breastfeeding, which doesn’t seem like a vegan-specific thing.

I don’t want to kill animals, but I unfortunately can’t eat air and sunshine, and as the quote I posted above outlines, eating plants kills fewer animals.

Unless eating plant-based food is a violation of someone’s ethical beliefs, makes them sick because they haven’t had plants in so long that they can’t properly digest them anymore, and the plant-based foods can be easily mistaken for animal products at this supposedly 100% plant-free festival, I’m not really
