Because PETA are fundamentalists, and they have the same psychological limitations and traits as all fundamentalists. Fundamentalism has nothing to do with ideology, it's a way of thinking--and a form of mental illness, IMHO. I pay no more attention to PETA than I do to any other fundies, personally.
I'm with you on that one--PETA ads have been demeaning to women for years. I rather doubt the ads work. I'm an omnivore who limits meat consumption for heath and environmental reasons and because I like lots of veggies.
I can think of lots of reasons to be a vegetarian, but an organization that makes fun of, demeans, or treats me like an object is not going to get me on their side.
I hadn't really paid too much attention to PETA. I've now read and seen a few (more) examples of their insensitive stupidity. Now I see why so many people make fun of them. It's not for the beliefs, but the actions and the words.
Gee, processed sugar and lots of fats are completely vegetarian. I'd say most of the 'unhealthy' foods I've ever eaten were completely vegetarian. I was never much of a meat eater. These guys are for the birds. I guess literally and figuratively.

I don't think PETA is thinking. (On that note, it's nice to see Thinking is back in fashion after some years of Reacting.)
