P.E.T.A - Are you kidding me!?
PETA Proposes Excise Tax on Meat
PETA wants you to pay ten cent tax on meat
June 4, 2007 (National)
Are you a meat and potatoes kind of guy? If you like a good burger and fries, or fried chicken and biscuits, animal activists think you ought to pay more for your meal.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has kicked off a new “Tax Meat” Campaign, proposing a $.10 per pound excise tax to be paid on meat, the same way that gasoline, tobacco, and alcohol taxes are paid so that tax is calculated into the retail price.
PETA suggests that money raised by its “Tax Meat” scheme could be “put into health education and preventative medicine.” Translation – the money could be used to advocate vegetarian and vegan diets and promote the animal rights movement.
Animal activists have also asked federal lawmakers to give tax breaks to those who have sworn off the consumption of animals.
On May 30, PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk sent letters to Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nanci Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid urging them to extend vegetarians the tax breaks that hybrid car owners receive for purchasing vehicles with low carbon emissions. She claims vegetarians are responsible for fewer greenhouse-gas emissions and environmental degradations than meat-eaters.

I think they ought to tax vegtables. Farmers plowing up great habitat taking away grazing lands from our wildlife to support there Veggie addiction. Are these people from Mars? They just don't get it.
