PeTA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) praises the American
armed forces in the Winter 2001 edition of their newsletter the
Animal Times stating: "Three cheers for the red, white, and ...
green? Yes, green." The PeTA article tilted "Stars, Stripes and
Veggies!" while highlighting the recent introduction of vegetarian
MRE's (Meals Ready-to-Eat or Military Ration for Emergencies) failed
to note the ecological devastation that months of US bombing have
done to the ecosystems of Afghanistan. "Three cheers for the red,
white, and ... green?" Not even close, green is never a term fitting
of armed forces that rely so heavily on scorched earth tactics.
PETA's own website announces its sexism and patriotism in one hot
breath with a scantily-clad double entendre: "PETA'S PLAYBOY
PLAYMATE BILLBOARD ERECTED FOR TROOPS." PETA is trying to arouse the
(presumed male and heterosexual) troops with that tired strap-on
known as the War Pinup. PETA's press release declares: "Every war
era has its pinups, and PETA hopes its new sexy billboard featuring
Playboy Playmate of the Year Kimberley Hefner will rouse a passion
for veggie fare among military personnel." Seems PETA is more
interested now in a hip call to arms than in the decimation of wild
bird populations that have happened as a result of the recent
bombing in Afghanistan. And forget what has happened to innocent
human animals there...
What does that have to do with being a vegetarian? By always putting
women in the line of fire from porn-addicted dorks?
Go figure, but it's one of the main reasons why I started eating
meat again, like a pervert like Hugh Hefner cares about cranes?!
Yea, right, another mainstream media lie ignored by the brainwashed
populace. Sad that Linda even has anything to do with PETA...Boy was
I mistaken by this lie. I love animals, not porn.
