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...

I wondered why they were too busy to go to the hurricane area to rescue animals. They were setting up their pictures of whites hanging blacks. Not enough time for those hungry, thirsty, abandoned animals when there is racial hatred to stir up.

Hey PETA, I had Grilled Chicken tonight, and now I think I'll have Kentucky Fried Chicken on Friday Night.
For added measure, since you demand that the Boy Scouts drop the Fishing Merit Badge because fish feel pain and with that Merit Badge the Scout's are teaching Animal Cruelty; I'm having breaded and grilled Pearch tomorrow night.

Maybe PETA would feel better if we'd have just euthanized those in the dome and tossed them in the dumpsters behind the looted Wal-mart.

I suddenly have visions of an animated remake of "Roots," starring hamsters, and rabbits and chickens

How about a display comparing members of PETA to idiots? Well, that would be kind of redundant.

If their is anybody out there who is surprised by this they should be forced to eat brussel sprouts for their remaining days. These people have the reasoning ability of a two year old, and have Pamela Anderson ( in all her silicon glory) as a spokeswoman. Let them eat grass, that leaves more cows for me.

I always wondered about that Pamela Anderson as a spokeswoman thing.
"Why did you stop eating meat?"
"Because Pamela Anderson told me to!"

That's just sickening. PETA is disgusting. There was another offensive advertisement they had comparing the Holocaust where Jews Gypsies Poles ect ect were slaughtered to....Pigs being slaughtered.
To: pcottraux
God Forbid, you say that abortion is a Holocaust, but PETA feels just fine comparing killing animals to murdering people.
To: george76
Someone needs to tell PETA that their ads aren't as clever as they apparently think they are.
To: aliquando
And chickens and pigs and fish and...
Furthermore, most two year olds have better reasoning ability than this.
To: george76
This is the same? PETA is INSANE ....
