PETA in the news...again

aplaxco Dec 18, 2003 12:57 PM

Apparently, it's a busy time of year for them. Has anyone heard the recent news stories, and all the bad press they are getting for targeting children with inappropriate material? They are planning to hand out fliers to children at productions of the Nutcracker across the country. For parents who are seen wearing fur their kids will be given fliers that show a drawing of a mom stabbing a rabbit and warning the child to keep their pets away from mommy because she's an animal killer. Nice.

Gee if they only knew what I did to baby rats *EG*.

I think PETA is so far out they are not even to be taken seriously anymore.

Besides, I firmly believe PETA should stand for People for Eating Tasty Animals.

Hee hee...I'm thinking about sending them pictures. I would personally love to smack the crap outta sombody for handing my kids that flyer. I think it's child abuse. Better yet, maybe I can go to the plays and hand PETA members various pictures of rat death there.

Or, how about giving them pictures of animals getting torn apart/eaten alive in nature--the humane way! Or pictures of people killed by plagues and such -- before there was animal testing and modern experimentation to develop drugs to prevent such deaths? And what about all the "pets" in the world that have been saved because of drugs developed due to animal testing?

The more they protest, the more foolish they look! So I say, let them protest. They, and logical thinking, are their own worst enemies! Plus, I kind of like to see scantily clad women, with painted on tiger stripes, in cages! (I know, I am a sick puppy!)-LOL

Thank you Rodney...that was great. And I'd let you keep the naked ladies but I just found out today my local Petco (ours is a decent one) won't sell live pinkies because of pressure from these animal activists. Mind you, they still sell the frozen ones. Somebody needs to stop all the nonsense.

I'll tell you what...I have a friend who's actually a body paint artist, and paints women as cats and other cool stuff all the time. What a rough job, huh? If you want I'll send you some pics to keep you busy when PETA gets laughed out of commission.
