Would PETA Kill Monopoly’s Scotty Dog?
The latest “press sluts” stunt by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) may just take the (no-egg) cake for a combination of audacity and pointlessness. The group that would take away your right to eat bacon and eggs, watch performing elephants and whales, wear leather, fur, or wool, or take advantage of lifesaving medical advancements developed by animal trials is positioning itself […]

PETA Kills Animals, So Of Course It Accepts Celebrity Hypocrisy
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) thinks animals are “people,” and therefore the group harasses people who eat and wear animal products and those who conduct lifesaving medical research on animals. But PETA has no qualms killing roughly 2,000 dogs and cats every year, even those that its staff classifies as “adorable” and “perfect,” as our Senior Research Analyst reminded […]

PETA Kills “People”
When you’re an animal rights activist, you spend considerable time equating some odd animals with people. Many years ago, a Los Angeles Times reporter asked People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) what the group had to say about ant farms. The answer was “Ants are sentient beings, like we are.” Ants’ tastier fellow arthropods, lobsters, even had a PETA […]

Animal-Rights War on Circuses Heads to Los Angeles
Animal rights activists won’t be satisfied just to make everybody eat vegan food in all of its hexane-extracted soy powder glory. Their ideology holds, in the words of PETA cofounder and President Ingrid Newkirk, “A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy,” so it shouldn’t surprise anybody that PETA sued Sea World claiming that whales are […]

PETA Fires Ideological Birdshot at Kids over Thanksgiving
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), last seen receiving a rebuke from the European Court of Human Rights for trying to bring its genocide-trivializing “Holocaust on Your Plate” campaign to Germany, has a sordid history of propagandizing children and young people. In prior campaigns, PETA has called on teenagers to tear down school […]

Disgusting PETA Campaign Bench-Slapped in Europe
One of the most repulsive examples of the shameful behavior of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is its “Holocaust on your plate” campaign that compares livestock farming with one of the worst genocides in human history. It’s something when that’s only “one of” the repulsive examples; however, PETA’s record of killing over […]

This Week in Food Freedom: PETA Jumps the Sea Kitten, Good News in California, and More
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) president Ingrid Newkirk has called her organization “complete press sluts,” and it still rings true. The Orange County Register reports that the vegan group which once gave grants to an arsonist wants to place a memorial at the spot where a truck carrying fish — er, “sea kittens” […]

PETA Meets Two Judges, Loses Two Cases
One of the goals of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is to grant animals the same legal rights as people, but this foolish quest suffered double setbacks this week. PETA is no stranger to losing in the courtroom—like its frivolous case claiming that Sea World’s performing whales were slaves or a not-at-all-frivolous […]

Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance with PETA
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has been playing love games with celebrity activists for quite some time. While some have been diehard extremists for the wacky cause, others have not accommodated PETA’s demands. Now the animal rights (not animal welfare) folks are calling music artist Lady Gaga a Judas for allegedly being as hypocritical as they are. After once hailing her as a hero after she […]

At Least PETA Can’t “Ethically Treat” Homeless People Like It Does Homeless Pets
San Francisco has problems both with panhandlers and with preparing homeless pets for adoption. Seeing an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, the city is testing a pilot program to habituate homeless pets in city homeless shelters, offering the people living there companionship and a $75 weekly stipend to nix panhandling. Take a guess which multi-million dollar […]
