PETA again Reveals They are Rude and Crude

	Maybe some of you heard some weeks ago that PETA,
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals were
killing animals entrusted to their care. It was just
one in a long series of revelations that has continued
to show how crass and hypocritical these people are.
Just as you think there is nothing new they can do
something comes along that prompted one observer to
remark the folks at PETA “are not the crispiest potato
chips in the bag.” They recently held an animal-rights
protest in New Haven, Connecticut which backfired…let
me tell you why.
	A two-hour animal rights demonstration on the Green
Monday sparked outrage instead of sympathy from the
public. "This is the most racist thing I’ve ever seen
on the Green. How dare you," roared one observer. PETA
demonstrators posted giant photographs of people,
mostly black Americans, being tortured, sold and
killed, next to photographs of animals, including
cattle and sheep, being tortured, sold and killed.
Evolutionary thinking!
What's the big deal, say the veggies, since we don't
actually know any African-Americans? Josh Warchol,
president of the Southern Connecticut Vegetarian
Society, which is aligned with PETA approved of the
message.
	They could not understand how comparing human beings
and livestock would be upset anyone.  But New Haven
black residents were. One man demanded that the NAACP
get involved. Five minutes later the president of the
State and Greater New Haven chapters of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People,
arrived, surveyed the photos and blasted the
organizers. One display showed butchered livestock
hung next to the photo of two lynched black men.
PETA has used the Jews before as well. The
Anti-Defamation League, has publicly condemned PETA’s
use of photos comparing human suffering in the
Holocaust to animal suffering today. A photo they used
showed a concentration camp inmate with a number
tattooed across his emaciated chest. It was juxtaposed
against a shot of a monkey in a laboratory with a
number branded across its chest. Only men have souls.
The comparison between men and animals is anti-Bible
and sinful.
