But seriously, that's some farked up shti. Not that I endorse animal slaughter or fur, but those peta folks get under my skin somethin fierce. It's almost sad to see activists that rabid wasting thier time on a proportionally small issue when there are so many more greater injustices in the world. (What about people killing PEOPLE for profit??) meh...
Although I did click on the "take action" link and wrote a pretty rabid tirade of my own... I hope they screen those.:happy2:

PETA and their tactics make me think of those anti-abortion activists who rally at clinics with big posters of aborted fetuses.
Three cheers for argumentum ad disgustiam. :rolleyes:

Whatever, fur is disgusting and unnecessary as nothing more than a fashion. However, their appeal to celebrities is ing stupid.
PETA overcompensates intentionally, if you couldn't tell. People call them insane for their demands, but they fully know that they will only get a fraction of what they ask for. It's how political negotiations work.

Yea, but is hatefilled trolling the way to go? That's like saying "Suicide bombers overcompensate intentionally because they know they will only get a fraction of what they ask for." [lol. 71 virgins.]Extreme example of course.
But seriously, extreme trolling like this [peta] only garners a negative response in general. No one will remember them as the activists trying to change policy against animals... just the crazy folk that throw red paint on celebrities.
It creates a negative image of people that want change.

Yeah, I don't think they did this to persuade anyone though. It's just a little flash exercise in their own masturbatory self-worth to amuse those already convinced of their righteousness, as with most anything that has to do with such a controversial agenda. In any case, here we are talking about them, none of us here even members. That means they are getting the attention they seek, no?
Right or wrong, any publicity is good publicity when it comes to controversial and an organization behind it.

The blood dripping on the exact spot you put it on is great attention to detail and shows their commitment. I applaud such well thought out designs.
