Soundslike some feminists are looking at using some meat based recipes for cooking up some PETA activists.

Damn.... just when I thought I'd got sick of the SI Swimsuit issue...

Where are those PETA babes again?

[Glutton]

There is a babe graphic HERE at Portland INDYMedia, but I am at a public access computer at the University of Oregon library and can't click "view source" to get the URL to post it.

Reminds me of the "man hands" Seinfeld episode.

Now that's a lucky bunnie if I have ever seen one.

Here is alink to the Dominique Swain picture. Although she is naked, the picture is from the side. So, any naughty bits are blocked out.

I would post the picture itself here, but I think the post might be deleted.

It's "survived" before... shouldn't be a problem this time. (see my link)

Animal rights groups have always relied upon women for the bulk of their organizing,

This generally applies to most social advocacy groups.

I admire the way your mind works, thank you.

I think I see her point

My favorite PETA picture is the one with the girl painted-up to look like a tiger sitting in a cage, staring at some guy next to her wearing a leather jacket eating a burger from McDonalds.

PETA, and I know people who work for them, does not really believe it can get results, nor does it actually care about getting results. They only want to feel good about themselves and feel like they are trying to do something. Sort of, its not my fault you won't change, but I'm gonna make a lot of noise anyway, because at least I know I'm trying. One girl I know who works for PETA is frustrated working there, she (wanted to work for a pro-life group) says it all the time. These people could do something productive, but the choose something that does nothing but get them in the paper.
