LOL at Nikki
Saw a bumper sticker that said
Vegitarian= Indian word for poor hunter.

Some how I don't think their comics will go over very well here in the South. I could just hear my son telling them that "you can't grill it, befor you kill it."

From the PETA website...

PETA’s New Comic for Kids - a Real-Life Horror Story!

PETA activists - including cuddly, costumed raccoons and foxes - are making guest appearances outside performances of The Nutcracker across the country this holiday season with a cheeky message of compassion. As children arrive to see the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy," some will be unaware that their mothers are already starring in a real-life horror story! PETA will be there to greet any fur-clad moms and their children with their newest anti-fur leaflet-PETA Comics presents..."Your Mommy Kills Animals!"

Kids will see the bloody truth behind their moms’ pretentious pelts. Accompanied by graphic photographs of skinned carcasses and animals languishing on fur farms, children will read: "Lots of wonderful foxes, raccoons, and other animals are kept by mean farmers who squish them into cages so small that they can hardly move. They never get to play or swim or have fun. All they can do is cry-just so your greedy mommy can have that fur coat to show off in when she walks the streets."

I think animals should be treated with respect and ethics, but these tactics are too extreme. I also saw a billboard they put up that was also aimed at children that was just wrong. It showed a cartoon Santa holding the front of his pants out so he can look down toward his 'package' and in big letters it says, "Santa isn't coming this year" and then something about Milk causing impotence. They need to get off the radical, piss people off by targeting your kids, hey we're getting press methodology.

:eek: The poor bunny! :(


I dont support PETA. The claim other people to be close minded and greedy and selfsih. But dont they do the same by what they do? Forcing other people to see it "their" way?

[Steph]

I agree with Aqua 100% - I am a strict vegetarian and a PETA supporter but they shouldn't distribute leaflets like that to kids. I went to the site to make sure it was PETA. I hoped it wouldn't be for kids. Alas, I was wrong.

babybunny,

You are quite right. We seem to be losing the ability to accept others for what they are without trying to convert them.

I am not a vegetarian, but I do not try to convert others to my food preferences. For that matter, I do not try to convert others to my political, religious or sexual preferences. If everyone was all alike the world would be a pretty boring place.

[Sharni]

That is just not right!!

If anything like that was dropped anywhere near my kids....i'd have the bastards in court so fast it'd take their damn breath away

There are ways to make a statement....and that isnt one of them

What sort of group are they....i'd be pulling my support in a eyeblink...that sort of shit is totally uncalled for

[Bopper]

I think I'd have to punch out the idiot dropping that anywhere near my kids. >.< :(

[Nice Guy]

I'm glad I live in a mid sized town. I don't have to worry about any of those showing up at the local schools. Unless of course one of the students prints one off the net. In which case I'll come down on them like a ton of bricks. Simply because it is inappropriate for school.

PETA makes me sick with their, I'm better then you because I places animals ahead of me attitudes. Unless the animal is being tortured I don't see a problem with killing for a purpose.

PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. They're known for magazine ads with supermodels and rock stars proclaiming they won't wear fur.

To me, this ad campaign is radical left wing and should be stopped.

[Oldfart]

Is perhaps PETA for People with Ethics Totally Absent.

It reminds me of the leaflets showing foetuses being ripped out

of a woman that were circulated a few years ago by right to life

radicals.

Where does legitimate shock end and schlock start? I don't know,

but both have crossed the line.

[LixyChick]

I can't bring myself to look at the picture since I've read all the responses here. I just wanted to say that I'd comment if I knew what I was commenting on....but I don't...so I won't!

P.S. The pic sounds horrible and I don't want that image in my head all day!

[Lilith]

Lixy it's a cartoon of a "June Cleaver" dressed mother witha huge butcher knife stabbing a poor bunny.

Sacramentoguy2,

PeTA seems to be yet another example of those who believe their end justifies their means.

[Sacramentoguy2]

yes....peta does suck :-p

[Irish]

All that has been talked about,on ALL of the Talk Shows(Radio &
TV)for the last few days,is peoples comments,on how this,
basically,borders on child abuse.I believe in free speech,but if they
give one of them,to one of my grandchildren,they will probably
see Adult abuse!I have allways believed in free will & tried to steer my children & their kids the right way,but this is forcing,
others ideals,down their throats! Irish
P.S.Just my $.02

[Vigil]

But I could'nt manage a whole one.

Save the ickle bunny wabbit from your howible mommy - yeah so the fox can eat it.
