To PETA, animals are more important than women

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14626178/: PETA is critical of television personalities they call self-professed wildlife warriors, arguing that while a conservationist message is getting across, some of the actions are harmful to animals, such as invading animals' homes, netting them, subjecting them to stressful environments, and wrestling with them—often involving young animals the group says should be with their mothers.[85] In 2006 when Steve Irwin died, PETA's vice-president Dan Mathews said Irwin had made a career out of antagonizing frightened wild animals

PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has always been kind of a sketchy organization. They get celebrity endorsements, though I am convinced those people must not actually read or they would have to wonder why a group devoted to saving animals kills 85 percent of the animals it takes in. Now they have taken to dehumanizing women in order to humanize animals.

They started off quite well, getting changes to the Animal Welfare Act after their work exposing the treatment of macques by Edward Taub at the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. They did the same at the University of Pennsylvania's head injury clinic, exposing improper and unethical treatment in 1984. Their constant desire to get media but they went downhill from there.

PETA hates a lot of humans. Farmers, hunters, you name it, if you feed people you are a target. They make no secret of their support for militant thugs like the Animal Liberation Front, which the FBI has named as a domestic terrorist threat. It turns out they hate women too.

Objectifying and degrading women is not new for PETA; for some reason they have long believed that promoting unhealthy body images in young girls was ethically okay, which has gotten them on the wrong side of feminist groups, but hosting porn, namely peta.xxx, is something new and controversial even for PETA.

A porn site isn't the first time PETA has attempted to assault children to save animals. Their "Got Beer?" campaign was another big hit with mainstream parents.

A little weird, even for PETA, right? Lindsay Beyerstein at Big Think rightly noted, “They're the ones drawing disturbing analogies between pornography, misogyny and animal cruelty."
Well, what solution is there? Lab-produced meat? Will PETA's progressive brethren accept an awesome science solution like genetically engineered meals? No, they will wave their hands and run around shrieking 'Frankenfood!' Yet global warming activists have to be on board with in-vitro meat because of the environmental impact in farming. And the process is so sexy even Republicans would buy into it; they take samples of conventionally slaughtered animals, like pig ovaries, fertilize those with pig semen and put them into embryos where they develop and grow in a nutrient solution.

Sounds delicious? Well, you don't want a description of sausage either.
