Breedism? What do the dogs think about this shit?
How long before PETA is revealed to be some huge, Dadaist scam? Breedism??
Animal rights: the activism of moronic bigots since 1938.
That's pretty crazy right there.
you're a fool for that one mike!
Hahaha thats exactly what I thought.
On a semi-related note, I recently watched a doco about water voles, and their mortal enemy the mink. Those things are nasty! The more that are coats the better!
These people have tons of money to throw in whatever direction they choose. Last year here in Santa Fe, they raised over 10k in one night doing a benefit dinner at a local hotel. People flew in to be a part of it. A dude I work with, his wife is on retainer to do special projects for PETA. She went to NO to rescue animals left behind in the wake of Katrina, and got interviewed by Anderson Cooper. She also got flown to Beirut to do the same thing. On a private jet both times.
Amazing!!! I guess they could have made the same point with tea bowls used for Japanese tea ceremonies, but it wouldn't be as dramatic.
I don't know about these guys. Comparing breeding dogs to racist ideologies is pretty dumb.
I do see problems with certain kinds of breeding. I saw a documentary on National Geographic about dogs. They talked about the decline of the English bulldog. It used to be a better animal, but through breeding, they have shaped them to fit our dog show needs. All the loose skin makes them have breathing problems, and their legs/body are out of proportion. Sure, the dogs don't know better, but they are breeding dogs to live miserably in cases like this.
What they used to look like.
They make good skaters, though.
it doesn't help their cause looking like neurotic extremists.
seriously, i know many vegans who hate them. considering their cause, to me peta consistently comes off as a superficial and poseur organization whose motivation seems to be more about whoring themselves to the media than actuall animal rights.
exactly
