The problem with shelter dogs seems to be a lack of people wanting to adopt them. Luckely with the recent attention of soon-to-become Commander in Chief and his Vice President for homeless shelter dogs, there might be some hope.

pesonaly i wouldn eat vegan Foie Grass. But this contest is for profesional cooks only and certainly will stimulate a discussion about cruel products like Foie Gras in these profesional circles.

many people especially young people really become veggie after learning more through PETA, many good changes through peta action alerts like their tireless work against fur, so i def support peta.
yeah, dont wupport euthenasia of healthy dogs, but thats hardly a question of money, sdaly enough.

Sadly, my first reaction was: that money could save a lot of shelter dogs. PETA has come out in favor of euthanizing healthy dogs through the logic that there are limited resources so the money should go to save as many animals as possible. However, when PETA spends money on anything other than direct animal rescue, they undermine their own argument.

Personally, I think PETA should simply stick to things like this faux foie gras contest and stay out of animal rescue entirely.
