Pacelle Comments on Zuckerberg

Since his announcement in May that he intends to eat only meat that comes from animals he’s personally killed, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has attracted a range of responses on the Internet. While reactions drawn from both vegans and omnivores ranged from harsh criticism to full support (and all points in between), the Humane Society of the United States President and CEO Wayne Pacelle took to his blog to acknowledge that while sympathizing with the animals who’ve been slaughtered by Zuckerberg is natural, the majority of Americans never face the animals whose lives end to be consumed, and Zuckerberg has provided a flashpoint for considering their own eating habits, especially when animals are involved.
