'Your mommy kills animals'
PETA activists to give fliers to kids whose moms wear fur

Animal-rights activists across the nation are planning to single out children who are unlucky enough to have mothers who wear fur by giving them fliers at performances of "The Nutcracker" ballet saying, "Your Mommy Kills Animals."

The fliers feature a woman stabbing a terrified rabbit in the belly with a bloody knife, reports the Boston Herald. Text on the pamphlets urges kids to "ask your mommy how many dead animals she killed to make her fur clothes."

"Children can't look up to a mom in a battered-raccoon hat or a crushed coyote collar,'' Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, told the paper. "Maybe when they're confronted by their own children's hurt looks, fur-wearers' cold hearts will melt.''

According to the report, the fliers even urge children to protect their pets from mom: "The sooner she stops wearing fur, the sooner the animals will be safe. Until then, keep your doggie or kitty friends away from mommy – she's an animal killer.''

Child psychologist Dr. Carolyn Newberger decried the tactic.

"It's using children in the worst possible way,'' she told the Herald. "If (the activists) want to legitimately work to protect animals from destruction for fashion, they have every right to. But to do so by targeting children and making them feel their mothers are murderers is absolutely unconscionable.''

According to PETA national coordinator Lisa Franzetta, activists will descend on Christmas performances of "The Nutcracker" in as many as 20 cities across the U.S.

The paper says Franzetta acknowledged the anti-fur campaign might spark a backlash.

"It's definitely provocative; I will give you that,'' she said.

We need to develop go back to the moon just so we can exile these "people". They have no place in a civilized society.

I disagree - we need to colonize space so we can leave these maniacs behind. And if they start threatening us, we can just bombard them with steel-shod moon rocks to show them who's boss. (Heinlein's the Moon Is A Harsh Mistress)

"Does your daddy have any (shudder) GUNS ???"

If any of these walking abortions tried to pander this crap on my kid, the question would be, "What's life like without HANDS?"

"We don't even need guns to take care of punks like you."

(Kind of evasive, but it limits further questions.)

Actually, you CAN print it, or just look at it.

I guess I was feeling rather negative at the moment...

Any sonofabitch that approaches a child in my care, with crap like this....better have a good dentist and a good proctologist.

I saw PETA's silly faggot on Hannity's show tonight, saying he thought the cartoon was cute and that the children enjoyed it......calling their mother a murderer..

I nearly destroyed the TV....

Just send them on a circumlunar orbit--with about two day's air.
