Issue:
The Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is running ads claiming that the group,
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (known as PETA), has killed 14,400
dogs, cats and other companion animals from 1998-2005 while at the same time
claiming that by eating meat or drinking milk we are mistreating animals. The
proof is from papers PETA, headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, filed with the
Virginia Department of Agriculture Division of Animal Industry Services.
CCF has a website exposing PETA's hypocrisy at
www.petakillsanimals.com Here a few other things you might not know
about PETA:
- PETA wants no circuses, no pets, no zoos, no hunting or fishing and no
seeing-eye dogs.
- PETA doesn't want you to eat meat, use leather, or drink milk
- PETA has donated thousands of dollars to radical groups such as Earth
Liberation Front (ELF), which has set fires that have destroyed condos, SUV
dealers and a Michigan State University research lab.
- PETA attacks research groups that use animals to find cures for life
threatening diseases
- PETA has attacked the Jewish kosher practice of killing animals calling it
"Holocaust on your plate."
- PETA targets children with comicbooks, emails. One comicbook was titled
"Your Mommy kills animals."
Comment 1: Not only is PETA hypocritical but it's dangerous. It
has helped fund home-grown terrorist activities perpetrated by ELF and then when
some of the arsonists were caught, PETA donated funds to defend them.
Comment 2: PETA: “Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS,
we would be against it.”
Comment 3: For Bears fans, click here to hear or download the
Bears fight song, "Bear Down, Chicago Bears," performed by the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra and Chorus.
