Afterward I asked him why he donated so much to Oxfam, when donating to vegetarian causes might do more to alleviate suffering (both animal and human). He told me that he makes sure the money goes to relief that doesn't involve animals used for food, and that he also donates some money to veg orgs like Vegan Outreach, and he told me he donated to Proposition 2 in California. Personally I donate mostly to vegetarian or animal causes but I guess given the focus of his new book he needs to prioritize solving children dying and needs to be an example to his current readers.

A few years later when the penny dropped about their treatment of animals I called up and told them it was off. That certainly grabbed their attention.

I had decided not to to remark on it (except via Twitter) for some complicated, frustrating reasons, but I was so glad to see Karen's comments--and to now see this post. Maddening.
