An animal rights group has made David Duke the poster boy for intolerance.

A picture of Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader, is on a Shreveport billboard encouraging people not to drink milk put up by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

A weird combo of David Duke and PETA from bizzaro world.

--David Duke is the perfect milk-industry poster child since he's identified by many as being intolerant,--

Intolerance? PETA is being intolerant of milk drinkers.

Isn't it just like the left to accuse others of intolerance, and yet be its biggest proponent.

I recall that Duke ran very strongly in N. Louisiana when he ran for governor. The campaign would probably work a little better around New Orleans.

I think their use of Charlotte Ross (Officer Connie McDowell of NYPD Blue) in the Fur is Dead campaign is a much more effective means of raising awareness.

Who'd ever thought David Duke would be against something that's white?

Not that odd.
Hitler was a vegitarian who loved dogs more than people.

"David Duke is the perfect milk-industry poster child since he's identified by many as being intolerant," said PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich.

But he's not being used by the "milk-industry", he's being used by PETA.

And Bruce. Mild perjoratives are nobody's friend. Call it "Big-Milk".

bump Oh, PETA...they are getting more graphic in their ads...

The ad, due to appear in magazines around the world, was photographed by Mary McCartney Donald, daughter of the late Linda McCartney and former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney.

There's a fox in that poster!

There's also a dead fox in that poster?

Sorry but PETA have a lot to learn about poster design.

Dead Reynard in her left arm only balances her right arm as framing elements.
It's the simple geometrical shape of the triangle which draws the eye, and that acts as the base for the focussing point of the lips and gorgeous green eyes.

And once locked there, who's going to look at anything else in the poster?
