Kitty porn

PETA sure knows how to grab attention.

A People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ad showing in a few large cities has a father urging his daughter to nail everything in sight. The parents are saying pregnancy isn't a problem to make PETA's point about spaying and neutering.

Who could argue with that? It's edgy and effective (in large cities) but nowhere close to this oldie I found looking it up:



Whew! For some reason, most television stations wouldn't run it. Oh, the ad I was talking about? Here it is:


Learn more about PETA's ABC campaign at PETA.org. That's their link, I left it in.

Crockpots

No that's not my opinion of them, they're giving Crock-Pots away. I don't know how green that is, but you only have to agree to a possible publicity release. For myself, telling them what I'd cook in it would probably set me free.

Maybe they are crackpots. Like many organizations that start with great goals, they just kept going until they were so over-the-top I wouldn't touch them.

That 'animals are people too' argument sets my teeth to gnashing. Genocide, slavery, teen-age girls; they're just bad analogies.

Let my puppies go

Let's take their argument to its logical conclusion: you shouldn't be neutering and spaying pets, they're exercising their choice. In fact, free all of your pets. That is slavery. More extreme animal rights groups (not PETA) should be running around turning all domestic animals loose.
