		<description>PeTA have said on their website that it was all just a publicity stunt, and I think it was a brilliant one, the problem is most of carnivorous &quot;Middle America&quot; took it seriously. They were all writing all the reasons why it would be horrible to produce milk from women, and unknowlingly writing all the exact reasons that PeTA say it is horrible to produce milk from cows. 
I read Dan Matthews (the Vice CEO or something of PeTA), he said they have to keep the T&amp;A in PeTA because it gets attention. Peaceful protests don&#039;t work, sex sells and so do shock tactics. People certainly pay attention when they throw a dead racoon on someone&#039;s restaurant dinner table. I also read they try to get as much free advertising as possible (so as to use money for other things) and free advertising is through the media and people shouting outrage against breast milk ice cream. It&#039;s a shame only the vegan people can see the campaign for what it is. 
I agree, making vegan food for people and quiet education also works but sometimes showing blood and videos of animal torture is the only way that some people can make the connection.</description>

		<description>Hi Maureen!

Well they didn&#039;t do it to headline any irony - I would have been pro the idea if they were pushing the idea of &quot;why is this grossing you out when you take milk from another species&quot;. But the sad thing is, they are being serious that we should drink breast milk instead of cows milk to benefit the environment. I mean, why didn&#039;t they use breast milk to get people to question their milk drinking and then suggest - as a REAL alternative, soy milk or rice milk or whatever.

I highly dislike PeTA. Their intention is good but way of executing is useless. Fur trade numbers have increased, meat consumption is at an all time high. And how long have they been around? Clearly what they are doing is not working. Their primary form of getting their message across is through scantily clad women. This, in theory will work but in reality does not because it makes the whole thing seem less credible and logical but more radical. Their intention to not care about women&#039;s rights is also disappointing, you should look up Gary Francione. He used to be one of their lawyers - he left them but he has his own website and books which are very interesting. 

I mean, using women, making them look like &#039;meat&#039; to save animals from being &#039;meat&#039; does not logically work. (Read: Pornography of Meat: Carol J Adams)

I, personally prefer simpler methods of making people go vegan. I agree with the notion of looking great - but not being jailbait. I go out of my way to make cupcakes/desserts whenever I can to show omnivores that being vegan does not mean you do not get to eat good food. I have found that this method has resulted in many people around me asking positively about veganism, wanting to go vegan, or going vegan. PeTA&#039;s only supporters are vegans or vegetarians. They need to get public support to be heard and to do that they need to implement methods which people will like e.g food fairs, carnivals to educate people, not be in your face because they will only get defensive and leave.</description>

		<description>Yeah, the PETA announcement kinda grossed me out, but I think they just did it to headline the irony of drinking breast milk from a different species but shunning human breast milk. I don&#039;t mind PETA&#039;s radical ideas; people are just so reluctant to even think about where their food comes from and I&#039;m glad PETA can shove it into their faces. Ha!</description>
