Does anyone know the address for PETA’s Got Beer campaign? I just heard about it on the news and want to check it out. It looks hilarious.
Is this"]http://www.milksucks.com/beersurvey.html]this what your looking for? Found it through the PETA site. Hope it is what your looking for. I wouldn’t really put it in the ‘hilarious’ category. I appreciate some of what PETA does, but I don’t think I would say they have a good sense of humor.
Drink up!
Damned spaces. Not enough beer for me today.
here is the link. Sorry about that.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving blasted PETA for their ads. I can’t say I blame them. Here MADD spends all their time and money trying to get folks NOT to drink more, and PETA comes along urging them to drink beer instead of milk (yes, I know, it’s jokingly). Not to mention the lousy science behind PETA’s claims…
When I first saw a “Milk sucks. Got Beer?” bumper sticker in a bar, I thought it was a clever joke on the familiar milk ads. Now that I know PETA is behind it, I know I won’t be getting one of those bumper stickers. I’d like to know what the PETAphiles think “ethical treatment” would be for all of the world’s cattle if everyone suddenly swore off beef, milk, and leather. Do they seriously believe the farmers would turn the critters loose to ravage their fields? It might be ethical to ask the cattle to earn a living and buy their own food, but good luck on that!
The “nutritional data” this morning’s newspaper article quoted from PETA seems distorted, if not totally bogus. Fiber in beer? Right…

This is a very touchy subject in Wisconsin (home of beer and milk). I find it hard to believe that beer could be better for you than milk (believe me, if it was I’d be the picture of health!!).
I must say though, whoever came up with this campaign is a genius. You can’t buy this kind of publicity!!
Sure, that would be a problem, but on the other hand, how many people think it’s a wonderful idea to raise animal in pens and fatten them up artificially just to slaughter them and eat them? Most meat-eaters I know will say it’s a necessary evil, but they wouldn’t want to spend time in a slaughterhouse either. I believe that there is a general consensus that there’s something distasteful about killing animals for food, as you can see from the reluctance in the USA to eat dogs, cats or horses.
You’re right - I restrict myself to beef because I know they only kill cows so that they can make those neat leather belts.
Yahbut, there’s something distasteful about vegetables, too, as you can see from the reluctance to eat broccoli. Wait a minute, I love to eat horse.
rocks
A friend of mine buys, trains, and sells horses. He told me of some men he knows who eat horsemeat, pretty much to the exclusion of other meats. Why? It’s cheap. You can buy a lame or mean horse at a horse auction for next to nothing. After a short trip to the meat processor, you’ve got several weeks worth of lean, tender, somewhat sweet meat. The lame/mean horse is doomed anyway, and it would have ended up in dogfood cans.

I have no problem killing my own meat. In fact I think I’ll take up cow hunting. They’re not exactly the swiftest animals so think of the money I’ll save on camo’s and blinds and stuff. Hell, all I need is a ball peen hammer. And beer, of course.
goddamn… I said GODDAMN I love meat!! 
I love this line at the end of that web site…
…on the end of the page that encouraged beer-drinking.

You don’t think in all of that hops, barley, etc. put in the brew that a 1/2 gram of fiber could have snuck into a 12 oz. beer? That’s not much fiber.
I am a vegetarian more for reasons of personal taste than for ethical reasons. I don’t like meat, so I don’t eat it. I also don’t like the way that some animals are treated by humans–especially, chickens in battery farms and calves in veal lots. Even if I ate meat, I wouldn’t eat veal for ethical reasons, since the animal has to be mistreated in order to produce that milk-white “tasty” veal. And though I eat eggs, I only eat free-range ones, though they cost a little more. But it’s ridiculous to get indignant over the fate of farm animals that get killed in order to provide people with meat. These cows, sheep, and pigs would never have lived if they had not been bred for slaughter. These breeds of animal would not exist had people not practiced selective breeding and created them for the purpose of being eaten.
By the way, milk cows are probably better treated than any other animal bred for the service of humans, with the exception of domestic pets. And, people, let’s recognize that sheep, pigs, etc, are not domestic pets.

mmmmmmm . . . steak
hey James, can I go cow hunting with you ? Haven’t had a chance to use my cow blind yet.
Seriously though, I think the thing that angers me the most about PETA’s ads is that (around here at least) they are targeting colleges. We have a problem with binge drinking amoung students in this country as it is. Now these idiots are saying beer is better for you than milk ?? Freaking morons. I really have no problem with PETA’s cause personally . . . but surely there are better ways to go about getting their message out.
oreos and budweiser ? BLECH

My sister and brother in-law are dairy farmers and I wish I had it as good as those cows!
What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so
sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

As you may know by now, PETA has trashcanned the whole Got Beer campaign. It seems the teetotaling dames of MADD got really really mad(d) and they jumped on PETA for promoting beer use, and PETA meekly backed out.
