Now, PETA is upset at Al Gore....

My God, they think that the only viable way to fight climate change is for us all to become vegetarians....

He may be the hero of the environmental movement for his crusade against global warming but Al Gore is about to be targeted by animal rights activists over his carnivorous contribution to greenhouse gases.

Citing United Nations research that the meat industry is worse for the environment than driving and flying, animal rights groups are directing a campaign at the former American vice-president's diet.

When he delivers a lecture on global warming in Denver next month, protesters will display billboards bearing a cartoon image of Mr Gore eating a drumstick and the message: "Too chicken to go vegetarian? Meat is the No 1 cause of global warming".

The campaign is being organised by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) and is backed by other animal rights groups.

"For Al Gore, the fact that his diet is a leading contributor to global warming is a highly inconvenient truth - pun intended," said Matt Prescott, a spokesman for Peta.

When you spend your life telling others how to live you should not be upset when others think they can tell you how to live. All of these people know they have the answers and we must conform.

Al Gore actually has PETA upset with him? Well, what do you know - the former Veep has actually done something constructive since 2001.
