The campaign to moralize meat has largely been a failure. If that means volunteering at a dog rescue or giving money to PETA, all while eating and using animals, at least you’re doing something.

To the Editor: Re “ PETA’s Latest Tactic: $1 Million for Fake Meat ” (news article, April 21): The commercial development of meat from animal tissue won’t result in “fake meat” any more than cloning sheep results in fake sheep.
