PETA was founded, and is run by, a woman.

PeTA was co-founded by Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco. Although I once donated to the group, I withdrew my money when their tactics became unacceptable and they became a force that seemed to serve to further solidify the opposition - the 'animals are ours to do with as we want' factions. PeTA's public image became one of fanaticism and antagonism with no regard for the rights of human animals. That sort of public profile makes all animal rights supporters look bad. And that's not good for the animals.

'tis true. Everytime I read something about PETA, I get an urge to messily devour something cute, cuddly, and alive right in front of one of their stupid protests. And I love animals.

Anyone remember this article? I thought it was hilarious, and not in the way the author meant it to be hilarious.

That doesn't mean that she, or the members of her staff, don't hate women. In fact, I'm getting the idea that they prefer animals to anyone..this includes women.

I think the commercial makes their values very clear. They were very proud of it whilst everyone else was f'ing disgusted.

I don't think they hate women, they are just more than willing degrade them, or anyone else, to promote their cause. I agree they value animals more than people, I even think they have stated so. Something like the animals need protecting and people can fend for themselves. Obviously a twisted bunch.

#1 Sign of a woman hater..Someone willing to degrade them in such a visually detailed and costly manner, for the sake of an inane arguement. Yes. The fact that they hate everyone is more acccurate, but they didn't take such pains to evidence that, than in this case.

xob loves my cock!! (edit malfunction)
