people and animals (or, is peta the new stupid?)
Given the way in which people of color are being treated right now in New Orleans, this adds a little more to the discussion. This is as I received it, including the introductory comment below, which I find troublesome:
this was too much not to pass on.......in the name of so called liberalism....you can always leave it up to the hippies and liberals to show their truest COLOR.....
click on the link below to see PETA..the animal rights people's newest campaign....click on hanging and scroll through the pictures.....do it before they suspend the site.......

New PETA Campaign Sparks Outrage
By Dana Williams Writer/Editor, Tolerance.org
The lifeless bodies of two noosed black men, dangling from trees as a mob of whites sheepishly surveys the scene.
The smoldering corpse of a black man, burned alive atop a pile of wood.
The terrified face of a slave, wearing only a piece of cloth about her waist as a man presses a hot branding iron to her back.
Alone, the images evoke the kind of gut-wrenching horror that makes people want to look away.
But place them alongside photos of slaughtered cows, burning chickens and branded pigs, and for many, they evoke a different emotion — pure outrage.
Such is the juxtaposition of a new PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) exhibit, "Are Animals the New Slaves?"

I couldn't get it to load but I can imagine what it looks like. Didn't PETA get into trouble awhile back when they did a similar comparison to the Holocaust and slaughtered animals?
I was a member of PETA in the past and while they do a great job at highlighting atrocities done to animals, they go too far when they compare atrocities done to human beings to what happens to animals.
And, as you said, with the reality of what's happening to people of color in New Orleans and the images to back up that reality all over T.V., PETA is showing not only a lack of P.R. savvy, but more importantly, a lack of human decency and responsibility.
Thanks for making me aware of this.
absolutely disgusting. Fuck you, Peta.
