Among the civil rights activists who attended Wednesday’s commemoration of the 1963 March on Washington were members of PETA, who said the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of equality extends to our furry friends.
A few volunteers for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals attended the ceremonies wearing shirts advocating for vegan’s rights. They declined to talk to a reporter, referring questions to their headquarters, where Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo said the group was invited to participate by the event’s organizers and wanted to show that equal rights should extend not just to all people, but to all creatures.
“We saw this as wonderful opportunity to show the need for breaking down the barrier that prevents us from caring about all the ‘others’ who are ‘not like us,’ regardless of race, regardless of gender — and regardless of species,” Ms. Guillermo wrote in an email.

My head is going to explode.........these people are insane.
The dolphins too? And ants?
Didn’t MLK eat fried chicken?
Nazi SS Officers likewise loved and gushed over their animals, as they continued for years to systemically torture, shoot, and gas millions of babies, children, men, women, and old people pleading for their lives. Beware of PETA, an evil lot.
No.Ants are racist.
It’s true! I’ve seen it in dogs, where they’re asleep but they bark and look like they’re running.
PETA should receive no support from any thinking person. They are profoundly evil terrorists.
PETA: When Animal Rights Becomes Terrorism and Crime
People Who Aren’t Treating Animals Ethically
http://voices.yahoo.com/peta-animal-rights-becomes-terrorism-crime-399292.html
PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is the most well-known animal rights group in the world. For decades, PETA has labored for the well being and rights of animals, with an ultimate goal of “total animal liberation.”
Unfortunately for America, and the world, PETA has become something entirely un-American: a group dedicated to inflicting fear, terrorism, violence, and suffering upon humanity.
First, let’s review what PETA means by “total animal liberation.” PETA defines this as follows: No wearing of leather, fur, or any other animal product; no eating meat or drinking milk; no eating of eggs or honey; no zoos, circuses, 4H, or any other animal exhibition; no fishing or hunting; no medical testing of any kind upon animals, and no pets.
That’s right. No Pets. What, you thought PETA only got angry at people wearing fur and leather? That’s only a small part of what PETA does. Just imagine a world based on PETA’s goal: There would be no farming of cattle or chickens, no meat, eggs, or honey in your grocery store. Millions of farmers around the world would lose their livelihoods, and a major part of the human food supply would be gone. Children, who need milk as a crucial part of their growth, would be crippled. . . . . .
dont forget WOOKIES too =)
Don't they all have dreams?
Aren't they all integral elements of America's nightmare?
I wonder how many animals those PETA hypocrites drove over just to attend the rally.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
dont tell the PETA People but some of “our furry friends” are not vegan...
"How about transgenders?" asked Private Bradley "Chelsea" Manning.
