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 14,400 dogs and cats at its
Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2005, PETA put to death over 90
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."
