The PETA Empire Strikes Back

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

After a huge wave of justified negative press raked PETA over the coals last month, the activist organization has launched an all-out campaign blitch to redirect the attention to animal rights.

The People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals, it was confirmed, is guilty of euthanizing 90% of the animals in its care every year. Ingrid Newkirk's group (of mostly white American women in their early 20s) struck back this week with Audrina Partridge, Mike Ness of Social Distortion, and a wave of nudity worldwide...

In Kansas City, Missouri, two girls dressed as cave people and wielded fake human bones to tell pedestrians and passing drivers that fur is for cave people. That annoying asshole from the Geico commercials had no comment. In a Maryland suburb, two bikini girls were photographed cavorted in a tub full of some sort of red vat, parked across from a McDonald's. In England on Sunday, four girls stripped naked and climbed into a skimpy blue makeshift shower to protest (their belief) that eating one pound of meat is as damaging to the environment as six months of showering. 

 


Following that, the group announced punk rocker Mike Ness had joined the movement and Audrina Partridge posed for a magazine ad in far more clothing than she might wear to a memorial service.

I love that her dog is named after an offensive and racially-insensitive cartoon character.

Great, now I won't feel so bad about taking such long showers!

It looks like everytime I eat at McDonalds I must shower for 3 hours. It seems I get 3 hours credit for not eating a full pound.  Does that mean the "protesters" would join me?  What is a pizza worth?

Not just "their belief;" the facts on water pollution, soil erosion and greenhouse gases caused by the meat industry come from the United Nations and the World Health Organization. Google and Wikipedia can help you find them.

Also, Mexicans love Speedy Gonzales!

PETA is not a shelter.  Their main thing is education and pressuring certain industries to provide more humane treatment to the farmed and lab animals and such.  Because they are not a shelter when they do take in animals the space to house these animals is extremely limited, so of course animals end up getting put down (at least humanely, as opposed to say, gassed, as many are at city shelters).

They idea that any place can be completely no-kill is ridiculous.  Sadly, due to overbreeding, there are not enough homes for all the animals that end up in shelter systems.  Some animals are unadoptable due to illness or temperament.  Something like 4 million pets are put down a year in this country alone, due to overbreeding, lack of resources and shelter for them, and inability to adopt them out.  Someone has to do the dirty work, because there are too many irresponsible people who will continue to breed their animals.

And, they and the other commentor are absolutely right regarding facts on water use.  The most environmentally friendly thing we can do is to stop eating meat, and that is not just PETA's opinion.
