I admire some of what PETA does, and I admire much of what a whole lot of others do to combat what ails this planet, but it seems no one has noticed the 500 lb elephant in the room: human overpopulation. Therefore, I respectfully suggest that the best way to arrest the decline of this, our home, is to stop freaking producing more and more little-mes, who in turn will demand their own acreage for food production, including animals, and who will just add to the total BS our species produces every day.
But resisting the urge to clone ourselves is only one, slow step. To really speed up the process of returning Earth to itself we should immediately legislate that all burger joints henceforth use only human meat in their products. That way, we can have our Jake and eat him, too, and at the same time bring the Earth's human population down to a manageable level.
This proposal merits your serious consideration.
