Is Twilight Saga Really Animal Friendly?

Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s Twilight Saga snagged a Libby Award for Most Animal Friendly movie, but did voters watch the entire flick?
Yes, Bella ate vegetarian meals throughout the movie like Gardenburgers, spinach salad, and mushroom ravioli, but that may be where the animal friendliness ended.
The “vegetarian vampires” were the biggest paradox. Vegetarian to these blood sucking guys and gals meant avoiding human flesh and eating animals instead-which in our world of daylight and non Topaz colored eyed humans is the very contradiction of a vegetarian.
A deer is killed at the beginning of the movie. Characters wore fur in some scenes.
Is this the most liberal of animal friendly recognitions one can receive?
The winners were decided by a vote from peta2.org’s audience, so the readers may have automatically voted for the most popular movie that mentioned anything vegetarian or animal without doing their homework.
Personally, we cast our vote for the Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson big screen hit, Marley & Me, which used rescue dogs on the set.

Even worse, the only explicit mention of vegetarianism in the movie is Edward talking about how unpleasant and unsatisfying it is, and that’s why he calls his unsatisfying diet of animal blood “vegetarian.” I found the movie’s take on vegetarianism really confusing, given that Bella had been willingly eating one of my favorite veggie dishes (mushroom ravioli) just a couple of scenes earlier.
