PETA attacks women & children over cows

PETA is at it again. This time the faux outrage is about milk, cow milk that is. Not only has PETA encouraged Ben & Jerry’s to use human breast milk in their ice cream, but PETA has also decided to put up billboards blaming autism on the consumption of cow’s milk.

If ever there was a group that is a billboard for being clueless it’s PETA. All you have to do to realize this is that PETA never uses the bodies of men nor specifically attacks men in any of it’s “projects”. (Women make the majority of household purchases and are considered by the majority of the public to be more responsible for children than men so even ads about the welfare of children by PETA are targeting mothers, not fathers).

They do not get packaged like food. They do not get put in cages and pens. They do not appear naked or nearly naked in ads. They are never painted to appear like other species, naked or nearly naked of course. They are never the targets of “do this & get laid” PETA ads.

What they are is the target market for this exploitation of human women, a group that has been and continues to be exploited by human men for their own end. PETA’s response to being reminded of this?

While cruelty to animals is a serious matter that should elicit widespread public outrage, efforts to reach the public through more serious means often fall on deaf ears in a world in which sex sells and there are both a war and an economic downturn.

Shorter PETA: Exploiting women is a-okay if it’s for a “serious matter”.

Even Shorter PETA: Bitches ain’t shit.

And that’s the problem with PETA. It has no respect for women and refuses to understand that sexism is wrong in and of itself. Women are not animated blow up dolls to put on display so that men can figure out that a certain action/deed is perhaps something they ought not do.

And to put it bluntly – if human men never learn to quit treating human women like property, how in fucks sake are they ever going to learn to quit treating other species in the same manner? It’s like teaching a guy that kicking dogs is bad by kicking a cat!

So, I’d say they won’t learn anything which means PETA’s work will never be done.

Then again, maybe that is the point. It is PETA.

Humans behaving very very badly

Earlier this morning I read this post by Brian Switek about the slaughtering of rattlesnakes here in Texas. I thought that was bad until I came across this post by PZ Myers about this video (warning: extremely graphic depiction of dolphins suffering agonizing deaths). Even though I spent some of my childhood on a farm and have participated in a bird hunt or two, I am disgusted by the humans involved in both cases. It’s not the death as killing another animal is never neat and never painless no matter how many times we repeat that to ourselves.

No, it’s the senseless brutality that is inherent in these kind of things. Killing another animal should not be a family outing like it is with the rattlesnake slaughter. And the animal should not be tortured like the dolphins in the video above who are shown being dragged behind trucks while (seemingly) still alive (and that’s as humane as it gets in that video).

There is no other words for these actions besides “callous”, “brutal” and “plain fucking evil”.
