250 gallons? that would last 500 people one day if used just for drinking. I guess it is the thought that counts or is it the media coverage that counts?

I'm sorry. Are you complaining about what meager amount the haves are giving the have nots? How entitled can you be.

I'm sure they will be dealing these gallons of water as soon as they get them. They won't even use it for the right reasons.

no, (in this case) the have nots have everything else, except what they don't want to pay for and expect others to supply.

The water shutoffs in Detroit have gained attention from around the country — including PETA. The organization is offering to pay one month’s water bill for 10 Detroit residents.

In return, those residents have to go vegan for a month.

Lindsay Wright, with PETA, says that a member of the group has offered to pay one month’s water bill and provide a basket of healthy and cost-effective vegan food for 10 residents.

“We hope that by introducing people to eating vegan for this month-long pledge that it will stick with some folks and that they’ll wind up saving on the stress of dealing with some difficult health conditions and save money on health care costs in the long run,” said Wright.

“At PETA we really see this as a win-win, you know it’s going to give 10 Detroit residents in need, some immediate help, getting out from under their water bills plus it’s something that is going to be helping animals and the environment and of course there are health benefits for people who participate as well.”
