This article discusses how the coating used on the outside of pills and capsules are made from gelatin, which is in turn made from the leftover bits of animals in the slaughterhouses. The most prominent protein in gelatin is collagen, which scientists have just discovered they can extract from bioengineered corn. This article is pertinent to my research paper, because it discusses how it is not only getting easier to become and maintain being a vegetarian, but also all of the good things that can come from being a vegetarian.

Title: Strategies, Action Repertoires and DIY Activism in the Animal Rights Movement.
Munro, Lyle. “Strategies, Action Repertoires and DIY Activism in the Animal Rights Movement.” Social Movement Studies 4.1 (2005) 75-94. Academic Search Premier. EBSCOhost. Helmke Lib., Ft. Wayne, IN. <http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=17248967&loginpage=Login.asp&site=ehost-live&scope=site>

This paper is about how the animal movement is overwhelmingly non-violent and that its strategies and tactical repertoires are in the main the conventional, legal tactics used by non-violent movements, even though it has been labeled as extremist. The article mentions PETA, and how it’s main goals are to get attention for their cause and to disturb the status quo. This is good for my paper, because it disproves the assumption that PETA are extremists. It also covers animal cruelty prevention and discuss PETA a lot, which is a group I want to cover in my paper.

Title: MLC to refer PETA to ad watchdog
“MLC to refer PETA to ad watchdog.” Farmers Weekly 145.15 (2006): 7-7. Academic Search Premier. EBSCOhost. Helmke Lib., Ft. Wayne, IN. <http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=23143967&loginpage=Login.asp&site=ehost-live&scope=site>

This is a short article documenting an instance where PETA’s advertising got them in trouble. In Britian, PETA posted an ad campaign stating that feeding your children meat was child abuse. The MEAT AND LIVESTOCK COMMISSION raised a complaint, stating that PETA didn’t base their advertising on scientific evidence. This is an instance where PETA’s use of extreme advertising got them in trouble with the MEAT INDUSTRY, and this would be a good point to cover in my paper. It is interesting to note that the parents didn’t raise a complaint, rather the MEAT INDUSTRY did.
