IIRC - the president of PETA, that woman, she is diabetic and takes those medicines.
She has justified that hypocrisy by claiming (paraphrased by me, I don't have the direct quote on me) "I am fighting for the good cause. Those animals would have given their lives for me willingly"
edit: can't find a source, so don't take my word for it
edit 2: seems I was thinking of the wrong woman. Found this:
Quote:
PETA Senior Vice President MaryBeth Sweetland on her use of insulin, which was tested on animals:"I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic. Twice a day I take synthetically manufactured insulin that still contains some animal products -- and I have no qualms about it ... I'm not going to take the chance of killing myself by not taking insulin. I don't see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals."
