According to PETA, cow's milk does!
Seriously, can PETA get any dumber?

(4,187 posts)you must be a vegan. Eating the products of the factory farm industry, which tortures animals horribly, and then turning around to criticize PETA for killing animals, would be the height of hypocrisy.

(4,187 posts)If you have a problem with hurting animals, stop eating the products of the factory farm industry. It's as simple as that. Then you can criticize PETA all you want.
But no. You want to support an industry that tortures and kills animals with your hard-earned money, and then attack the organization that points out the cruelty of that industry. You want to have your cake and eat it too.
Anyone who attacks me for this is only revealing their own cruelty and their own hypocrisy. So go ahead. Please proceed.
I "love" my pets but it's nothing like human love. I'd sacrifice them in a New York Minute if I needed to for a human being's sake. But they are my property. Steal them from me and do something I don't consent to to them and you are violating my rights.
I've *personally* killed dozens of animals in my life for medical research. I'd do it again. I don't value animal life, not the way I value humans. And I don't care if you think that's hypocrisy. It's 100% consistent. You just don't like the outcome.

(16,423 posts)"Warhammer 40,000" is a science-fiction universe full of super-soldiers, monsters, magic and shit-tons of violence and epic warfare. (A fascist theocratic dystopia at the brink of collapse is fighting magical monsters from outer space). It's owned by Games Workshop and serves as a backdrop to several games and sci-fi-novels.
One of the human factions is basically Space Vikings. And Space Vikings wear fur, because Vikings.
PETA did ask Games Workshop to make the Space Vikings stop wearing fur, because fur is unethical.
Concerning all the cruelty and brutality that's happening in "Warhammer 40,000", PETA got an itch out of fictional characters wearing fur.
