Peta is a strange group. I understand the love of animals. I couldn't imagine my life with out them. Peta believes in animals rights. Peta believes that animals should be set free to be on their own. Peta has said that they do not even like the idea of service or companion animals. Come on people, dogs domesticated themselves. Now, would you follow these people?
George Clooney-flavoured tofu proposed by animal rights group Peta
Peta, the animal rights organisation, has announced that it would like to create tofu flavoured with the sweat of the Hollywood actor George Clooney.

In its latest campaign aimed at creating maximum publicity, the group suggested that the flavour of the Ocean's Eleven star's perspiration - extracted from the actor's gym towel - would appeal to his fans.
Ingrid Newkirk, president of Peta, sent a letter to Clooney urging him to participate in the extraordinary venture "to spare animals from being killed for the table".
According to the Washington Post, the actor's gym towel had been offered for auction by a Peta supporter.
"I thought, 'What would make tofu more attractive to people?'... I can see people having parties to try CloFu,'" Mrs Newkirk told the newspaper.
She justified her plan by comparing Clooney-flavoured tofu to "making artificial chicken flavour for instant gravy".
But the actor rejected Peta's overtures, although he clearly found the proposition amusing.
"As a mammal, I'm offended," he joked in a statement.
As much as I love George Clooney, I find the idea of CloFu highly distasteful (that was an awful pun!). Seriously though - tofu made from the sweat of another person? Gross! It seems that each PETA story seems to be more bizarre than the one before it.
