Pathetic PETA

On a completely different note, I saw this in Brit Hume's Grapevine over at FoxNews, and just had to pass it along...

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (search), which often accuses others of being insensitive to animals, is now being accused of being insensitive itself, after launching a national tour called, "Are Animals the New Slaves?" The tour in New Haven, Connecticut earlier this week features giant photographs of mostly black Americans being tortured, sold and killed, next to pictures of animals being tortured, sold and killed.

One black resident of New Haven called it "the most racist thing I've ever seen [around here]." Another said, "You can't compare me to a freaking cow." PETA is standing by its display, which is now on tour.

Speaking of PETA, the organization is condemning a sushi fundraiser for the Florida Aquarium (search) in Tampa, which is to be held at the aquarium. PETA says serving sushi in the presence of live fish is just wrong, insisting, "That's like serving poodle burgers at a dog show." An aquarium spokeswoman defends the fundraiser, telling the Tampa Tribune that it brings in lots of people, and "more people equals more education."

Pathetic, right? I knew PETA was full of moonbats, but not wanting people to eat fish in front of fish? Do they protest hamburgers at the county fair? Nothing these people do surprises me any more.
