Animal rights protesters have launched a series of angry campaigns against A-list carnivores. They are shifting their focus from celebrities who wear fur to others who encourage the "exploitation" of animals by eating them. In its latest campaign, Peta – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which became infamous for dousing fur-wearers in red paint – has launched an attack on the singer Jessica Simpson.
Ms Simpson was singled out for ridicule after she was spotted wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan "Real Girls Eat Meat", believed to be a light-hearted dig at her boyfriend Tony Romo's vegetarian ex-girlfriend, Carrie Underwood.
Alistair Currie, a spokesman for Peta, said: "Jessica Simpson might have a right to wear what she wants, but she doesn't have a right to eat what she wants – eating meat is about suffering and death. Some people feel like they are standing up against a tide of political correctness when they make a statement like this – what she is really doing is standing up for the status quo."

I love animals too, but I also eat meat. Humans are omnivores - we are designed to be able to eat both meat and vegetables. I strongly believe that animals should be raised and killed humanely, and I try to eat only meat from the most organic, healthy farms. I have a right to do this, and so does Jessica Simpson. You also have a right to be a vegetarian or a vegan or a raw-foodist, if that is what you prefer.
PETA, if you really want to help animals, you will 1. stop euthanizing (killing, destroying, whatever you want to call it) homeless dogs and cats without ever attempting to place them in a home (because you think that animals are better off dead than as the pet of someone who loves and cares for them), and 2. stop all these angry, hateful PR campaigns that only add bad energy to the cause for animals.
