"PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has said that "even if animal research
resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it."
7 Things You Didn't Know About PETA
1) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her
group's overall goal as "total animal liberation." This means no
meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no wool, no leather, no hunting,
no fishing, and no pets (not even seeing-eye dogs). PETA is also
against all medical research that requires the use of animals. 2)
Despite its constant moralizing about the "unethical" treatment of
animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers,
and countless other Americans, PETA has killed over 10,000 dogs and
cats at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2003, PETA put to
death over 85 percent of the animals it collected from members of the
public.
3) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists
and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to
the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified
"domestic terrorist" group responsible for dozens of firebombs and
death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to an Animal
Liberation Front (ALF) activist convicted of burning down a Michigan
State University research laboratory. In his sentencing recommendation,
a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that
crime. And PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich told an
animal rights convention in 2001 that "blowing stuff up and smashing
windows" is "a great way to bring about animal liberation."
4) PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old
with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, often waiting outside their
schools to intercept them as they walk to and from class-without
notifying parents. One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells
small children: "Your Mommy Kills Animals!" PETA brags that its
messages reach over 2 million children every year, including thousands
reached by e-mail without the permission of their parents. One PETA
vice president told the Fox News Channel's audience: "Our campaigns
are always geared towards children, and they always will be."
5) PETA has used a related organization, the PETA Foundation, to fund
the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a
deceptive animal rights group that promotes itself as an unbiased
source of medical and nutritional information. PCRM's president also
serves as president of the PETA Foundation.
6) PETA runs campaigns seemingly calculated to offend religious
believers. One entire PETA website is devoted to the claim-despite
ample evidence to the contrary-that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. PETA
holds protests at houses of worship, even suing one church that tried
to protect its members from Sunday-morning harassment. Its billboards
taunt Christians with the message that hogs "died for their sins."
PETA insists, contrary to centuries of rabbinical teaching, that the
Jewish ritual of kosher slaughter shouldn't be allowed. And its
infamous "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign crassly compares the
Jewish victims of Nazi genocide with farm animals.
7) PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of
Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society,
because they support animal-based research that might uncover cures for
birth defects and life-threatening diseases. PETA president Ingrid
Newkirk has said that "even if animal research resulted in a cure for
AIDS, we would be against it."
