Herbivorize Predators

The Herbivorize Predators organization was founded "with the goal of discovering how to safely transform carnivorous species into herbivorous ones." Its members believe that this will promote the well-being of all sentient beings and prevent the suffering and untimely deaths of prey animals.

They acknowledge that their mission is controversial but feel that "now is the time to conduct research on potential ways of herbivorizing."

It's certainly an ambitious goal. I think they'll have their hands full just trying to herbivorize humans.



Another critique from the Ecology for the Masses blog:

its also easy to forget that herbivores can be just as big of a source of stress for other herbivores as the threat of predation... To put it simply there is always going to be something causing an individual some type of stress out there (even from their own species).

Leather For The Discerning Vegan

image
Students from Willem de Kooning Academie in Rotterdam Netherlands collaborated on a project that would almost certainly have PETA's approval. They used the food waste from a large local market to make fruitleather. The product was used to make purses as well as swatches to show the different colors available depending on the fruits used. Leather you don't have to hide.

Meat Eaters

image
A textbook being used in some schools in India describes "meat eaters" in highly unflattering terms. Apparently, according to the book New Healthway, those of us who indulge in "flesh food" are liars, cheats and sex offenders. Gee, I didn't know protein caused criminal behavior.

Vegan Gets Pied!



Even though this particular vegan under assault has apparently come over to the bacon-lover's camp, it's still good to see a vegan made to answer for the sins of their hideous lifestyle.
