PETA Promotes with PORN.....

So, just when I thought that PETA couldn't possibly be any lower in my estimation, it goes and breaks through the bedrock, digging an even deeper hole.  I recently learned that PETA is working on a XXX porn site in order to promote the ethical treatment of animals.  Are you kidding me???  How in the world are the two to be combined?  Well, whatever it is, I don't want to know.  Let me quote Robert Peters, general counsel for the New York-based anti-pornography group Morality in Media. "Metaphorically speaking, they're getting in bed with hard core pornographers to prevent cruelty to animals. That borders on insanity."

Well, most of us from Agriculture backgrounds feel that PETA and HSUS border on insanity, anyway, so to me, this is just flat out insane.  Apparently, a lot of the feedback I read in the news is that this could alienate people from supporting and helping PETA, so let the alienation begin!!  I am all for spreading word of anything that helps alienate people from PETA.  Now, of course, someone reading this might suppose that by this I mean that I don't support the ethical treatment of animals, which is a far cry from reality.  I have horses, chickens, cows, dogs, cats, and very often lizards and birds and frogs around our fuuny farm that we call home.  I obvisously love animals, or would not have so many around.  I also want people throughout the world to care for their animals in the way that they see as fitting, but I don't approve of people who have been raised in the city coming around and telling my family how to take care of animals that we have been raising for generations in my family.  I oppose PETA because of their over-the-top ways, demonstrated by their new pornography site, things that go against the basic morals and values of good, hardworking farm and ranch families, or just every day hardworking families of all walks of life.

Some of the other intent for PETA's promotion is to raise veganism awareness--really?  If people want to be vegans, I believe that is their choice, but should not be pushed on anyone else, especially in exploitive manners.   Not that PETA is 'pushing' anything, they are just using whatever shocking things they can to get attention.  But, a lot of vegans seem to think that because they don't want to eat animal or animal by-product, that the rest of us shouldn't, and that they need to fight and oppose anyone who has anything to do with animals as food-production.  Well, don't let me get any more wound up on this subject, I am sure you can all form your own opinions, once you check out a little bit more about who PETA actually is.

So, check out the info, spread the word, and let's look to those with decent values and morals to teach us how to care for animals, like the farmers and ranchers of our great nation!!!
