The PETA files: At least now they’re picking on someone who can take it
posted at 2:40 pm on November 18, 2011 by Tina Korbe
OK, I know it’s a little shallow of me to keep picking on PETA, given their meager and waning credibility as is, but they make it so easy. As a part of their anti-fur campaign, the group has launched a series of billboard ads against a gal very much accustomed to the limelight: Kim Kardashian.
The reality star has been known to sport fox fur, so PETA has put out this ad:
It’s sweet, really. I see those baby foxes and I wish Kim wouldn’t wear fur. But, then, I wish she wouldn’t do a lot of the things she does, like — oh, I don’t know — make a mockery of marriage. Where are the ads against that?
That’s the thing about PETA, really: Nobody wants animals to be treated cruelly (although I’d say PETA’s definition of cruelty and the average person’s definition of cruelty might not always be the same) — but PETA’s so completely absent from more important fights. As I tweeted recently, where, for example, is PETA in the battle for unborn baby humans?

Judging by the photo, the kooks are not only anti-science but also anti-shower, anti-hygiene and anti-any kind of beauty product.
Bald lab mice are more attractive than this. Wowzers.

They knew what they were doing. They don’t want to find any connection between the use of anti depressants, herbal supplements or pot to neurological and cognitive difficulties in autistic and autistic spectrum children. Many babies and children are harmed by these things, and the drug users are in denial.

The exact same thing was said about the loon who engineered the “mink escape” disaster when police nabbed him, and I saw the photo. He too looked like an escapee from the short bus in need of a bath.

Being a father blessed not with one son, but two sons with this, I had to take a bit of time to gather my thoughts in order not to get banned here. God forbid this people reproduce, and if they do, I wish this on them… then again, I dont want to wish this on anyone. I see the frustration every day on my kids faces. Its tough being a parent with kids with this…. I cant imagine what children with it are dealing with.
I was angry at her because her child is mild. Not the right face to put out there because then people will look and think its not all that bad of a mental disability.

Ayeah, I said the same thing when a pro-life movement started passing around a “thanks for not aborting me” picture…and the picture was of a dad holding a hideously deformed baby. I’m talking a face that would make small children cry.
The cause is just, but to be bluntly honest, they needed a better mascot.

I’m an aspie. I don’t think of myself as mentally disabled at all. I have a neurological condition that slows down my nerve propagation, and a personality that some neurotypicals feel uncomfortable around. Oh well.

C’mon, it was just a few animals,right? It’s not like they were guilty of not predicting earthquakes or something.
