Edgy Arizona Ad Campaign Exposes Deceptive Animal Activists

As animal rights extremists descend on the Grand Canyon State to promote the equality of rats and pigs with human beings, a new advertising campaign from the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is giving Arizonans the tools to fight back.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) are spending enormous amounts of money in Arizona. CCF, an animal-rights watchdog, is exposing their dangerous agenda with a series of newspaper, television, and outdoor placements.

The campaign began with full-page ads in The Arizona Republic, the state's largest newspaper. Some highlights from those ads:

• PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has admitted her group would oppose medical research using animals "even if it resulted in a cure for AIDS."

• Despite the deceptive "Physicians Committee" name, less than 4 percent of the group's members have gone to medical school.

• HSUS raises over $100 million every year. Although this is enough to run successful pet shelters in every state, HSUS doesn't run a single one anywhere. And it is not affiliated with any local "humane society."

"The Grand Canyon State is Ground Zero for the animal rights movement this year," said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. "We're here to tell Arizonans the truth. Groups like PETA, PCRM, and HSUS will say anything to promote their destructive agenda. But not enough people understand how deceptive they are."

Martosko continued: "The animal rights movement is very slick. Its leaders want legal rights for chickens, fish, dairy cows, and even lab rats. Arizonans need to see the bigger picture. If lab animals have rights, we can forget about curing cancer. And if human rights are extended to farm animals, forced vegetarianism is just around the corner."

PETA is knocking on your door!

LoL! Nice door bell fixture.


I can see how a PETA creature would consider themselves as equals with rats.
I guess as Human beings de-volve, the mind is the first thing to go. While it may take longer for the form to devolve, there is no longer any human DNA in it. They become confused, start trying to mate with the same sex, graze like cattle and sheep, and live like pigs, and become useless pests, unsuitable for any use.
