12/6/2005: Naked PETA protest

SeanAhern suggests this one, which IotD featured at least once back in the day, but it's been a while. Naked protest has always been an IotD feature so why not. It's PETA here, in a stunt they do rather often actually - if you scout for IotD shots like I do, I see em all the time, but if you don't, it's new to you.

The full story in this case is an interview with the lass above, in which she notes she's done this over 50 times.

"That's why we do it: to get media attention for PETA's causes. I didn't like standing outside naked in 30-degree weather -- it's absolutely crazy! But we did it for the animals."

Yeah. She really looks like she doesn't like it.

prrrrrrrrrrr.

Interesting to read that PETA aren't necessarily anti-hunting.

Most people I know agree some meat or animal protein in a diet is necessary, but hunting is a choice and undertaken almost solely for the pleasure of killing animals (please note - consensus of opinion - not my view).

I may even be interested enough to check out their official ideology now....

It may explain what a vegetarian is doing with a fox carcass at the Opera anyway.

Sundae Girl, you should do a cellar search on PETA and hunting and animal rights and all that good stuff. The combined knowledge and opinion of the cellar oracle shines brighter than a 40W bulb -- nay, 1000 40W bulbs.

Why don't we ever see naked dudes for PETA? I'd like to see some naked hunk all done up like a leopard or something.

She looks like a lost member of Josey and the PussyCats. Meow.

Hey!

Shouldn't this be a Friday IotD?

Women have non-protruding genitalia, and are thus less offensive to the public as a group. Also, we are still a hugely patriarchal society, so babes are gonna be used as advertising every time.

Perhaps if you sent Pinnewala Elephant Orphanage an idea for fundraising and some grey body paint they might just go for it??

Sorry, cheap joke - but click the link anyway, I've been there & they do a great job.

Ok,how many guys out there where clicking on that link in hope for
"better" pictures...

If PETA would put me in the cage with that bird then I'd sign up in a flash.

"...but hunting is a choice and undertaken almost solely for the pleasure of killing animals (please note - consensus of opinion - not my view)."

whose consensus? I don't know if i agree with this...

I'm not a hunter myself, but i live in montana where hunting is a regular part of life and I see a lot of this first hand. 99% of the hunters i know (or have heard of) hunt for the meat. Do they enjoy shooting guns - killing animals included? Sure, most of them do. But, if you're hunting to have meat to enjoy and eat i still see this as much more respectful than those of us that get our meet from the grocery in a little package and have no knowledge of or connection to the animal it came from. I even know folks that enjoy shooting stuff so much that they spend all their time and money on guns; however, they won't take down an elk or a deer simply because they don't like the meat (personally, i think they're nuts for preferring beef).

Are there people who hunt simply for the trophy to hang on the wall and/or the "thrill of the hunt?" Sure, but these people are looked down upon by the hunting community as much as by non-hunters. For example, I've seen wanted posters around town for any information of who killed such and such animal illegally and left it. Hunters do not take that sort of thing lightly.

I agree that it is more respectful to match wits with an animal, track it and hunt it than to buy meat in the prepackaged trays in the grocery store. In fact I think one is likely to eat less meat if they have to kill it. And I will bet that less gets wasted.

As for PETA, they kill all kinds of pets. Between 1998 and 2004 they killed 12,473 of the 15,661 animals they received in their Norfolk VA headquarters. That is a 79.6% kill rate with only 18.5% adopted. In 2000, when the Associated Press first noted PETA's Kervorkian-esque tendencies, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk complained that actually taking care of animals costs more than killing them. "We could become a no-kill shelter immediately," she admitted.

PETA kills animals. Because it has other financial priorities like fund raising.

And they are actually one of the chief terrorist groups in the country according to a friend who is a trained security consultant.

Brag, brag, brag. Where's the pictures, sez I.

You have my email address. I'm waiting.

Els--is it possible that you are drunk?

Naked womens, is naked womens. You never know what you're gonna get until you unwrap 'em. That's why naked womens is good.

OH that SOOOO needs to go on a t-shirt !!!!!!!

Methinks Lisa Franzetta is an attention whore.

I think Avon dumped the bunnies long before PETA came on the scene. That was the work of a LOT of organizations involved in aminal welfare causes.

PETA just reaps the benefits of that.

Well not only do they kill lots of animals, donated by people who expect that an animal rights group is a group that has a no-kill policy, but they fund terror groups like the Earth Liberation Front, the Animal Liberation Front, the arsonist Rodney Coronado ($75,000 in legal defense funds). No matter what ms. kitty cat says about not having a connection- their tax returns tell a different story.

Look, I applaud people raising concerns about animal experimentation and inhumane treatment of animals. I think factory farms are an abomination and I try to eat only organic meat from small farms where I (or my food coop members) can talk to the farmers. But this group is beyond the pale.

Looks to me as if the cruelty is directed at the bimb....I mean the young lady in the cage.
PETA sucks anyway. A very high profit non profit organization. Where the hell's Ted Nugent when you need him?

We were cracking on my sister-in-law for her 30 dollar per month auto payment to PETA. Pete says "It could go to a worse outfit". I asked, "Like who?" She says, "Al Queda."

In PETA's dictionary:

Kill : cruelty

euthanize: compassionate

what a bunch of anal openings.

rather disappointing results from images.google:

I mean really, if you say you're gonna get nekkid for a cause...

like I said.... they don't kill, they euthanize. In their stupid little world there's a major difference.

Hunters kill because it's a sport and is fun for them. The meat industry kills animals because they're supplying food and making money from it. Shelter workers who euthanize animals don't have fun, produce anything, or make any money. They go home, cry, and drink a six-pack because of what they are forced to do. It's not the same. (Sorry guys, I tried to stay off my soapbox, but I can't help myself with this particular subject )

I have a problem with folks killing for the act of killing , I have seen dudes with a pickup truck FULL of catfish , " Look at all the fish I cought !!!"
These FUCK STICKS will just DUMP the fish and BITCH about the STINK in their pick up beds !!!!

I hunt and fish , I practice Catch and relese when I fish , and I EAT what I kill ( when i shoot some a critter ) !!!

To do anything else would dishoner the life of the game anaminal !!!!

Now i have killed in self defence ,, 2 dogs that were TO aggressive , and came after me , I didn't relesh the kills , but I lived and their over aggresive selfs died .

Join the Protest!

I think I want to join the protest - but I want her on my team...

I wouldn't want to join the protest, but I'd enjoy a cage match with her. Show that bitch what cruelty really is.

Welcome to the Cellar, patg2.

If you ever get the chance, watch the "PETA" episode of "Penn & Teller's "BULLSHIT"".
Raised some VERY interesting points about PETA.
Taken from PETAs own information.
Video of PETAs CEO stating that animals needed to be euthanized.
Ect....

You only have to glance at that divine pussy cat and man knows a woman was created by angels

or the Devil.

Who cares?

Welcome to the Cellar, Ity.
Please, please, please, when you post a link like that, label it NSFW.
A lot of people come here from their work computers and clicking on that could get them fired.

No, I don't come to the Cellar from work. Many do, however, and can caught up in "company policy" quicker than shit........uh. poop.

All this talk about PETA makes me hungry, anyone for burgers?

People Eating Tasty Animals

How bout roast suckling pig, YUM double yum

Bruce/UT why not delete Ity's post? it's obvious it's merely a pathetic attempt to drive traffic to his adult site....

Posters like that p1ss me off.

Aw, yer right. Missed that one. It's gone now.

WTF...I missed a porn link? Damn.

Turns out the womans name is Jabeen Akhtar, and se works for the US EPA, but claims there is no conflict of intrest and that her volunteer work, as a private citizen, for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is entirely separate from her job with the federal government bureau.

What we need is a "yeah, right" smiley

We have one.

all peta comments aside

First of all, most PETA members are a bunch of radical freaks that make me respect animal-rights movements in general LESS than before PETA existed. I do support animal rights but PETA's targetting of children is downright freaking diabolical, I've seen the handouts they give. VERY scary and not appropriate for children. I cannot stand PETA.

That's not the point of this post.

The point of this post is: Looking at this picture, I will never, EVER understand gay men. How can you look at that, and not want to lick it, is completely beyond me.

THAT is the point of this post.

Ok, see now, way back when there was this poll on our fantasy boink. I said Chetara of the Thundercats, and everyone thought that was just plain weird. Now a naked, tiger-striped chick shows up and it's suddenly ok. What gives?

I don't know how I missed that thread, but thanks for pointing it out. I think you came out of that thread pretty well, considering.
