→Animal rights and vegetarians: HTTP --> HTTPS [#1], replaced: http://thehill.com → https://thehill.com
Citing a heretofore unknown connection between the environment, [[animal rights]], and [[vegetarianism]] movements, [[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]] (PETA) requested of [[Democratic]] Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives [[Nancy Pelosi]] and Senate Majority Leader [[Harry Reid]] special treatment in administration of tax laws used to support ecological sustainability. PETA President Ingrid Newkirk alleges, "[V]egetarians are responsible for far fewer [[greenhouse-gas]] emissions and other kinds of environmental degradation than meat-eaters," and that vegetarians should receive a tax break "just as people who purchase a hybrid vehicle enjoy a tax break."
