One month after suspending an exhibit comparing animal cruelty to slavery, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is resuming the traveling show...
PETA came under fire...that the exhibit was racist... National civil rights groups, including the NAACP said the comparison demeaned blacks.
The showing, dubbed the Animal Liberation Project, involves a display of panels juxtaposing graphic images of slavery and other human abuse with pictures of chained animals. Some of the displays compares animal cruelty to black civil rights abuses...
In one panel, titled "Hanging," a white mob surrounds two lynched blacks swinging from a tree. A nearby picture shows a cow hanging in a slaughterhouse.
PETA president Ingrid Newkirk defended the decision to continue the show...

PETA to resume exhibit blasted by civil rights groups
People, not animals, come first
From time to time, Ill ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Leave them alone, in their stupidity, they're doing everything they can to insult the majority of the people and are cutting their own throats on getting support.
Another shinning example of the nutty PETA dweebs. Besides being totally racist..its moronic. These idiots must have IQ's that equal their shoe size.
Now I'm craving a hamburger....
Only a loaner.
Please add me to your list
People who are cruel to animals are scum, no doubt about that. But pointing it out in this way just stirs up bitter racial memories. Coming in the wake of the Katrina kdsaster, they undermined the cause they claim to champoin.
Nice going, PETA.
I don't know about too much soy but clearly suffering from severe lack of judgment.
Although so much souy is GMO and the ethics of major soy companies give me pause.
Thanks for the ping!
Typical MO for "principled" leftists.
PETA just came to Richmond's VCU campus today. Demonstrations and small scale riots ensued.
PETA is and always has been idiots with way too much time on their hands.
1. Human beings, NO MATTER WHAT COLOR, should not be compared to animals.
2. There are leash/other laws for animals (NOT HUMANS) that HAVE to be enforced.
