Hitting PETA where it hurts: International Eat an Animal for PETA Day

If you haven't heard by now, PETA has started yet another offensive ad campaign. This one really reaches bottom�they are using Holocaust terminology, quotes, and pictures to liken the "slaughter" of animals to the slaughter of the Jews by the Nazis.

I've already received a letter from a child of Holocaust survivors who is, of course, extraordinarily offended. But here's the thing: PETA is known for this kind of outrageous publicity stunt�and that's what it is, an outrageous publicity stunt�and while I am also offended and outraged, there is absolutely nothing we can do that will make PETA change their ad campaign. I'm sure they knew exactly what they were doing, have a plan in mind, and, if they withdraw the campaign, will do it according to their deadlines and their decisions.

So let's make up our own outrageous publicity stunt. Let's designate Saturday, March 15th, as International Eat an Animal for PETA Day. Everybody set the date on your calendar, and either go out and enjoy a great steak, or cook one at home. Or cook up some chicken or fish or anything else that PETA wouldn't want you to eat. And let's let PETA know how their ad campaign has affected us.

Send a letter to PETA something on the order of this one: (You can cut and paste, but you can also write your own.)

Dear PETA,

I found your new ad campaign, "The Holocaust on your plate," offensive and outrageous. But I don't expect your organization to suddenly develop any sense of tact or human decency, so I thought I'd tell you what your campaign has wrought:

March 15th has been designated "International Eat An Animal For PETA" day. On that day, I'll be chowing down on a juicy steak, or chicken, or perhaps I'll have lobster�fresh, of course, chosen from the tank specifically for me. Maybe I'll have a plate of ribs at my local barbecue restaurant. Then there's that great seafood restaurant with the poached salmon and the delicious crabcakes. I could take my family there.

America's a free country, and you have the right to say what you want, no matter how offensive I think it is. But as a result of your insensitivity to those millions of people who died in the real Holocaust, and to the survivors and their descendants, I and my family will show PETA the same kind of insensitivity.

And have a great, meat-filled dinner, while we're at it.

Chew on that.

It's like my father taught me: Don't get mad. Get even.

Jim, i have been trying to get these guys to send PETA a KFC chicken bone for weeks but little action has transpired. I sent several to the address you posted....lets let them know folks.

Hey Bullwnkl, I sent em an eaten box of KFC and got no reply. I believe they are very thick skinned!

Boggy I think the other end of the chicken would not hurt either. And I wasn't refering to tail feathers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Bullwnkl.

Maybe I could do a take off on Liver Eatin' Johnson and just send the innards? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

BCR

We sent them a bucket 'o bones!

Here Bullwnkl, you mail it to them....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
