According to Blabbermouth.net, if you've ever wondered what represents the arch enemy to Angela Gossow, you can find out in the Arch Enemy lead vocalist's exclusive interview with PETA2, PETA's youth division, in which the German extreme-metal singer reveals her foremost foe: factory farming. During the chat, which can be seen below, Gossow - a lifelong vegetarian - opens up about why she decided to dump eggs and dairy products from her diet and go vegan for good.

"I've always been educating myself," Gossow tells PETA2. "I've been watching all the documentaries about animal transport, what's happening in slaughterhouses. I know everything about the hormones, the antibiotics that you find in meat and milk products. It costs society ... billions of dollars for health insurance for all their heart problems, blood-pressure problems, diabetes 2."
Besides the indisputable health benefits of ditching meat and other unhealthy animal products from their diets, vegans have a smaller carbon footprint than their meat-eating counterparts — and each vegan saves the lives of more than 100 animals every year.
Gossow joins an ever-growing list of musicians - including The Agonist's Alissa White-Gluz, Otep, The Dillinger Escape Plan, GWAR, and Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia - who have teamed up with PETA2 to challenge archaic, cruel attitudes about animals.

Whatever. Doesn't really matter to me what she's eating. Just keep your hands off my steak!
she can put her hands on my tube steak all she wants.
anyway "I've always been educating myself" If she was, she wouldn't allow her good name to be associated with sanctimonious, amoral, hypocritical ****-wits like PETA.
"Besides the indisputable health benefits of ditching meat and other unhealthy animal products from their diets,"
Yeah, like being pasty, frail, and looking malnourished.
"and each vegan saves the lives of more than 100 animals every year."
Which I'm sure you can back up with at least some shred of proof? What about all the animals ground up in the combines? Or all the fuel used in the tractors and other farm equipment? Hmmmmm? Explain.
Animals are bloody tasty, and what on earth does UG mean with "to challenge archaic, cruel attitudes about animals"? Animals are for eating, and have been for hundreds of millions of years. I have no idea where anyone gets this strange idea that they are under some sort of responsibility to be nice to other species.
Anyway, I am sick of UG coming up with a load of BS that isnt really guitar related news. I might try songsterr next time im looking for a tab...
if you walked into a slaughterhouse you would probably change your mind. doesnt bother you because you dont want to think about how the steak got to your plate
"if you eat meat 7 days a week and 3 meals a day....(insert rest here)" then you are a ****-wit like the twats at PETA, ok yeah if my food was torn apart before my very eyes I'd be repulsed, I'd still ****ing eating, and anyone with half a cell doesn't eat meat 24/7. but seriously her mum and her need a slap up the head for being idiot, nothing wrong with meat (unless you don't enjoy the taste). also KFC has the best chicken out there, so **** you PETA
Whilst I agree with avoiding battery/ caged eggs, I don't particularly care where the chicken in my food comes from. For a start, organic chicken doesn't taste as good. The meat is tougher. And on top of this, eating a battery hen is doing it a favour. After all, it's better off dead and on my plate than stuck in a cage forever.
I wish all these PETA/vegan/hippie/whatever people will wake up and realize that plants are living things too. They really need to stop eating plants.
damned right, I'm a biologist and it's laughable how people make some sort of moral distinction between plants, fungi, bacteria, archaea and animals. The morons at PETA rant on about speciesism - well what about kingdom-ism? stupid hippies.
I never cared for Angela, considering she is probably to blame for Arch Enemy's descent into crappy mallcore. Not to mention how over-hyped her generic vocals are..
I care for her even less as she joins the forces of crappy, female "Metal" (Read: Everything from crappy Metalcore, to glorified symphonic Rock) vocalists who jump on PETA's dick. If they had ANY shred of insight on the matter, they would stay as far away from PETA as possible. This ain't even anti-vegan, PETA is just horrible. The only people who support them are self-righteous bastards whose desire to help out only stems from a desire to make themselves look good.
Wow, as a vegetarian I find the comments on this board to be rather insulting. I don't like PETA, at all. I'm completely fine with the hate towards them, but being a vegetarian doesn't effect you at all. I'm perfectly okay with you eating meat, I just don't have to.
F*** PETA!!!! Biggest bunch of hypocrite terrorists I can think of! They are to pet owners and animal loves what the Westboro Baptist Church is to America!!
Wow, as a carnivore I find the comments on this board to be rather delicious. I don't like Animals, at all. I'm completely fine with the hate towards them, but being a carnivore doesn't affect you at all. I'm not okay with you not eating meat, I just have to.
With all that said, Fuck cows.
"Well, I'd club a baby seal, But you know I won't ingest it.
I'd tell my vegan girlfriend "You know I wouldn't suggest it"
All my shoes are leather And I don't care whether or not

I'm an omnivore. I thought you should know. It doesn't effect you but I like eating plants and meat. Its cool that you don't want to eat meat, that leaves more for me. But you should know that I'm an omnivore. I don't discriminate against nutrients.
I am an omnivore, its part of my nature, but at the same time I don't support factory farming. Nowadays we just take take take from the earth and give none back. Not even for ourselves either, we have it plowed to us by corporate masters while we trudge and toil in the field of void known as the factory and store. Nothing we do has meaning anymore, and in some ways that is due to our endless pursuit of technology. I think that the world would have less problems if we could just revert to a more primitive society. Not in all ways, we should retain much technology, but to use natural sources more, not processed and corrupted.
