PETA India’s Campaign Coordinator, Rohini Kamath, just sent me some photos from a couple of protests that she and her colleagues held this week to draw attention to, respectively, the cruelty of the dairy industry, and the hypocrisy inherent in eating meat and trying to save the environment at the same time. Check ’em out:
Bound to a wheelchair and carrying a sign reading, “The dark side of dairy,” PETA India’s cow mascot, Ganga, protested the hideous cruelty of the dairy industry on World Milk Day. The activists also held signs emblazoned with the slogan “Doodh: not so cool, Dude,” and, though it’s not entirely clear to me what that means, I’m told that if you say that to someone in Ahmedabad, they’ll cut the dairy right out of their diet in a hot second.
And …
Eating out of a giant earth and holding signs reading “You Can’t Be a Meat Eating Environmentalist” the PETA India folks held a demonstration on World Environment Day to protest the massive environmental devastation caused by the meat industry.
PETA India — you guys are, hands down, my favorite PETA entity. OK, fine, I say that to all the entities, but I’m totally smitten with that globe-eating demonstration. Keep up the great work.
