Living Without Meat

PETA is a good organization for many reasons. Yes, they can be extreme (though many of the cases that come to mind are likely people acting in support of PETA, not actual PETA employees). And no, I do not always agree with their tactics. But dude, check out how many contests they are having right now! I do not deny my love for free stuff and hope to win all of these goodies. But alas, I do not usually have such luck. So I will share these contests with you, and hope that at least one of us will win something.

* Type in your contact info at Caring Consumer and you will be entered to win chemical-free, non-animal-tested, completely vegan products from Nail-Aid and Anise Cosmetics. This contest comes in light of the companies’ president and founder, vegan Tam Tran, being awarded with PETA’s Trail-Blazer Award.

* This one disturbs me, so I will say it quickly: There’s this band All Time Low, and if you go here, to PETA2 you can win their new album and a signed pair of their booty shorts. They don’t like to cut open dead frogs, but apparently are okay with super short shorts that say “GET LOW” on the rear.

* Sexiest, teasingest, tease-of-them-all Dita Von Teese has been seen around town lately. The burlesque-style dancer was a guest on America’s Next Top Model two seasons back, is a spokesmodel for MAC cosmetics, and is now speaking up for animals. She posed for PETA’s ABC (animal birth control) campaign that’s all about controlling the pet population. To kick it all off, you can enter to win a gift certificate to MAC.

* Bands have weird names nowadays (gosh I sound old). Scary Kids Scaring Kids (SKSK) is a band name, got it? And they took pictures at Warped Tour. Now, you can win the camera they used - and all the pictures - plus two copies of their new, self-titled CD, signed by all the guys in SKSK … if that’s the kind of thing that entertains you. Me? I just like anything that is free, and I can delete the pictures and then just have a cool, new camera.

* Remember Alicia Silverstone getting naked and Houston getting mad? Well besides all that, she also told us what her fave cruelty-free products were, and now you can win some of them in a cute Matt & Nat (vegan designer) bag.

* If you enter this one and win, you have to give the prize to ActivistMommy because she will love it. You’ll get a Silverstein CD, and a pair of vegan, Rise Against Vans. (Translated, the prize is one band’s musical musings, and skateboarding shoes with the name of another band on them.)

And now you know how to win.
