CCF Ad-vises Newsweek Readers: PETA's After Your Child

Marci Hansen, "youth marketing manager" at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), recently complained to the Lowell Sun in Massachusetts that when it comes to her group's efforts to mold children into anti-meat militants, "Parents are tough." They're especially tough when, as Hansen concedes, parents see PETA's animal-rights creed as "a stage, or a way to rebel." And when your job is to go behind parents' backs to reach their kids, that job is tougher still. In our latest advertisement -- running in the back-to-school section of the latest Newsweek -- we ask parents: "What is PETA teaching your child?" Click here to view this full-page ad, which exposes the violent and graphic materials PETA gives to children in a sick attempt to circumvent parents.

As we've told you before, PETA funds and operates an extensive campaign to bypass parents and indoctrinate their children. Parents should know:

• PETA camps outside holiday performances of The Nutcracker and other shows to force a gruesome "comic" (see adjacent) into the hands of unsuspecting youngsters.

• The radical group distributes "Buckets of Blood" to children outside middle schools, high schools, and KFC restaurants. According to the Associated Press, these grotesque handouts are filled with "fake blood and bones, a bloodied plastic chicken and a cardboard caricature of a blood-spattered Colonel Sanders holding a butcher knife toward a terrified-looking chicken."

• PETA activists wait outside schools, propagandizing kids with misleading anti-dairy trading cards as they walk home. The cards depict children suffering debilitating illnesses and embarrassing conditions, supposedly as a result of drinking milk. PETA's campaign is "based on sensationalism" and "a real tragedy," according to registered dietitian Deanna Rose. "It targets teenagers who really are calcium deficient and need to drink their milk."

These morons have gone right past being an amusing annoyance to really pi$$ing me off.

Download the flyer. It'll really have you fuming. It's anti-fur. First they ask the kids if they have puppies or kitties they like to play with, then says that if they do, they should keep them away from their Mom, because she pays man to torture animals for their fur. Pretty sick. If I was a little kid, I'd engage the PETA yokel in conversation, smiling all along, and ask for as many flyers as I could carry, promising to use them to "educate" my friends, gratefully taking them with a smile and a handshake. Figuring, use up their talking time and printing funds in a lost cause, then they'll have to start over with someone else to talk to and find more funds to print more lies.

With the ridiculous lawsuits winning judgements nowadays, I would think a parent might be able to sue PETA for traumatizing their child's emotional wellbeing if PETA gives them that comic.

ROFLOL! I've GOT to get the comic with Mom and the rabbit.At least the cover picture.:)

.

Think I should send PETA a pic of "Mom" and her four kids "processing" domestic rabbits,some killing while others are skinning?

Or maybe just a pic of 'em cleaning a wheelbarrow full of wild ones? :O)

Your "click here" link is a download and I don't trust getting one from PETA.

Is the download from PETA?

The pdf resides on Consumer Freedom's site. I don't know if they scanned a flyer themselves, or obtained it already in digital form from PETA sources. I downloaded it and haven't experienced any problems, but I regularly run a virus scan as well as both Spybot and AdAware.

[N. Theknow]

PETA, like all liberal knee-jerk causes cannot think past step one to the obvious conclusion of their efforts.

Let's say PETA was somehow successful in getting all people to stop eating meat, drinking milk, eating cheese and wearing fur and keeping pets.

What happens to all the animals when no one wants to eat them or their products or make things from them or keep them as pets?

Don't think there will be too many herds of wild Holsteins or Black Angus running around.

I agree, but I wouldn't condemn them as worthless humans just because I disagree with their values or viewpoints. It's these tactics they are using that I find despicable.
