When’s the last time this organization actually did anything useful in terms of advancing the ethical treatment of animals? As far as I can tell all they do is contribute to the unethical treatment of women and other minorities. Between the exoticism, the misogyny, and the transphobia they embrace in their advertisements, I’m not sure how anyone can take them seriously. They demonize anyone and everyone who eats meat, consumes dairy, and/or wears fur because they are abusing animals’ bodies; meanwhile, their advertisements capitalize on the male gaze and the sexualization of (anonymous) female bodies in order to further their point—the point being, of course, that we should all go vegan so that we look more attractive to men. Maybe then we wouldn’t all be so fat and ugly and unappetizing. It’s okay to put women out there for popular consumption, just as long as people stop consuming animals.
I’ve been a vegetarian for more than half my life, and I fully support the promotion of a vegetarian lifestyle, but really, we live in a fucked up world when animals’ bodies are considered more of a social concern than women’s bodies.
WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS.
