Uh, yeah.
I went to the website again to review all they have done. I see in the past they have done some good for tortured animals, and brough to light criminals who were killing or abusing for fun or profit. Most people will agree that's wrong.
This is from the PETA website: "Given the chance, cows nurture their young and form lifelong friendships with one another. They play games, have a wide range of emotions, and demonstrate personality traits, such as vanity."
They are trying to convince the public that we should care about animals as we would care about each other. They are attempting to humanize animals to make us feel sorry for them and their plight. You don't see them calling for other predators to be arrested or detained for killing animals, why us? Perhaps they should start a campaign to get Wolves and Coyotes to become vegitarians, that would certainly save many sheep, pets, and other farm type animals. But you can't because it's not in their nature to be vegitarians and for most humans it's not in our nature to either.
Then instead of declining to comment on Obamas wanton murder of a fly, then make an asinine comment "referencing" Buddha. Implying that Obama should think before killing an innocent life form such as a fly. One wonders how deep PETA's defense of living things would go.
So yeah, if this is the course they are taking then the nude women photos they publish is, in my opinion, some of their best work.
So you ask yourself: "If the media called me and asked my comment on the President swatting a fly." do I:
A. Take the high road and say "No Comment?" or B. Make an insane comment comparing Obama to Budda?
Most Americans think PETA are off their rocker, and this seemingly benign statement defending a fly solidifies that thinking.
They should stick to what they do best, publishing nude photos of women dressed up as animals.
