Free Stuff Friday: 'Friend, Not Food' Tee
Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping
One of my favorite slogans that we use here at peta2 is "(insert animal here) are friends, not food." It's just so cute and catchy. So you can imagine how unbelievably excited I was when I found out that vegetarian snowboarder and artist TJ Schneider designed a 'Friend, Not Food' tee exclusively for peta2.
Check out peta2's Cutest Vegetarian Alive winners, Kelly Anderson and Leonard Sun, modeling the tee:
 
And we wanted to spread the love, of course, so we're giving two of you lucky readers the chance to score one of these adorable shirts. All you have to do to win is comment with your shirt size and why you think that animals are friends, not food. I think that animals are friends, not food because I love to hug all animals (cats, chickens, and crazy humans alike)—and I certainly wouldn't spend my time hugging potatoes and parsnips.
This contest ends June 6, 2008 and the winner will be chosen and notified by June 13, 2008.
Just so you know...by commenting here, we're taking that as acknowledgment that you've read and agreed to our privacy policy.
Also by commenting, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions.
Good luck!
<3 Marta
PS - I'm a huge nerd and am actually wearing the tee as I write this blog.

Want to Try Something New for a Week?
Category: Food and Restaurants
Next week (May 19th - 25th) is World Vegetarian Week, and if you've ever considered giving vegetarianism a try, there's no better time than now to give it a shot. Take our Seven Day Pledge to Be Veg. I mean seriously, seven days is hardly a commitment, but it is enough time to give you a good idea of how easy it is to be vegetarian.
If you want to give it a shot, but you're worried about what you'll eat, rest easy: If you take the pledge, I'll send you an e-mail each day next week with recipes, suggestions, and encouragement.
And guess what? Pouyan from Scary Kids Scaring Kids is taking the Seven Day Pledge to Be Veg, too! He'll be doing a couple guest blogs for peta2 about the experience next week, so keep an eye out.
This'll be fun!

Mary Kate Olsen: Still a Cruel Mess
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
Warmer weather typically means a lack of brainless celebs traipsing around in dead animals, right? Somebody should alert the Olsen twins to that. Just look at this hideous thing...and the huge horrible chinchilla bag she's lugging around.

Oh, Mary Kate...What is with these little harbingers of death?! Will nothing stop their greedy blood-lust?! What is wrong with them that they insist on wearing and carrying as many dead animals around with them as possible?! Was growing up on the Full House set really that traumatic??? (Well, probably, but still that's no excuse.)
And let's dissect the rest of the outfit, shall we? Um, green suede coat with a furry collar over what appears to be a black sack of some sort and...I don't even know what is on her feet but it's no better than those wretched witch boots they were both obsessed with last year.
Oh, and it's May. May, May, MAY!!! Who in their right mind wears fur ever but especially in May?! Why would anyone carry even a faux fur bag in May, let alone wear a suede jacket with a furry collar. Now I know when you're nothing but skin and bones you tend to get cold easily but even for an Olsen this is ridiculous. I can't look at her anymore.

ROAD TRIP!!!
Category: Life
Yes, it's the classic summer adventure. What could be more liberating than venturing out into the great unknown (also known as Nebraska), to find yourself? How about doing it all while eating incredible vegan food along the way?!
Me driving down Pacific Coast Highway on my first (but far from last) cross-country trip
Need help getting started? Here are some tips:
- Visit HappyCow.net for a full listing of vegetarian—and vegan—friendly restaurants in cities ALL over the world!
- Do you enjoy eating the same thing in every city? If so, check out our guide to eating vegan at chain restaurants. Now you can zigzag from Johnny Rockets to Johnny Rockets across the map (using our coupons at every stop, of course).
- A little short on cash? Why not stick with buying snacks at grocery stores and 7-11? Check out our "Accidentally Vegan" list for some tips!*
* Note: peta2 not responsible for any indecent acts conducted while on an Airheads taffy sugar high.
- Want to play a game to pass the road time? While driving across the country, I try to flick off as many KFC's as is humanly possible. My personal record is 36 in a month. Go ahead, try to beat me. I dare you.
Pretty exciting, eh?
It's a big world out there, folks. Go flick off some parts of it.
- Ryan!

DMX Arrested. What A Loser.
Category: Music
Where my dogs at? That's something rapper DMX shouldn't worry about considering this convicted animal abuser has recently been indicted on felony drug possession and animal cruelty charges, reportedly associated with dogfighting.
There are reports that dogs were being abused on his property, and that led authorities to search his home, where they seized 12 pit bulls and found the bodies of three others buried on his property. Sick!
With an album cover for DMX looking like this,
is it any wonder that he's suspected of animal abuse?
If DMX is convicted, we want to make sure he gets the maximum jail sentence, a ban on owning animals, and mandatory psychiatric counseling (because anyone who abuses animals must have at least one or two loose screws in the head). People need to realize that all oppression is connected.
For details on what you can do to help, click here. And check back on the blog for updates as the case develops.
