Thing
is… regardless of their celebrity statuses, neither PETA nor Herbert
will get anywhere without the rational discourse of argument when it
comes to animal ethics. It is well-documented that PETA uses and kills
animals who have been “rescued” and uses sexism in adverts to “attract
everybody”. Attracting everybody has not, thus far, worked to
obliterate animal suffering / use. The fact that Matthew Herbert thinks
that using animal sounds from a pig though it was going to “die anyway”
says that he also thinks very little about the suffering or use of
animals. That he produced a track made from pig sounds are not a wrong
in itself, but that he partook in the death of that pig and endorses it
IS a wrong in itself. Because the pig “ran free-range” is equivelant to
a slave having a whole house to live and die in rather than one 4×4
room. Does that justify it? The conclusion is that Herbert and PETA are just as fallacious as each other!

[...] This month, Matthew Herbert released One One, the latest twist in a musical career that has featured deep house, ruthless experimentation and, er, pig slaughter. [...]

I am a veggie myself, I must say PETA are a bunch of veggie talebans who give us all a bad name.
