Petas offensive save the whales Ad

[Insanecowposse]

While millions of adoptable animals die in shelters, Peta is continuing to aim their campaigns towards meat-eaters - and have taken their insults to a whole new level.

"A new PETA billboard campaign that was just launched in Jacksonville reminds people who are struggling to lose weight -- and who want to have enough energy to chase a beach ball -- that going vegetarian can be an effective way to shed those extra pounds that keep them from looking good in a bikini."

The billboard, being displayed in Jacksonville, Florida, displays an overweight woman in a bikini with the slogan, "Save the Whales. Lose the Blubber: Go Vegetarian. PETA."

[Ms Felony]

if people take notice of the actual message they are dumb, and peta are also dumb for actually doing that

[Insanecowposse]

Peta is always doing shock advertising to get attention

[Slacker]

it makes me want to eat meat more

[Grimlin]

Meat is not what gets people fat. What a bunch of dumbasses....

I hate PETA and anyone who supports them.They are nothing short of American terrorists.

Detroit News Wrote:PETA plans 'fish empathy center' for historic Michigan lighthouses

Grand Haven's iconic Lake Michigan lighthouses are the prime location sought by an animal rights group for its anti-fishing campaign headquarters.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has applied through a federal program to take over the towering red structures and lighted catwalk that are frequently photographed for dramatic sunsets, thick winter ice and crashing waves.

The area also gets nearly 2 million annual visitors including thousands of anglers casting lines into the Grand River channel and heading out in boats for trophy Great Lakes salmon.

"We want to renovate the Grand Haven lights as a memorial to the billions of fish killed annually by sport fishermen, as well as for their flesh (commercial fishing industry)," said Lindsey Rajt, manager of PETA's campaigns department. "We also want to make it a fun and educational place."

Tentative PETA plans call for an education center in the steel and cement-clad house-like structure at the end of the long pier, where visitors would learn about the lives of fish. There also would be a café, offering vegetarian fare including "faux fish."

Visitors 12 and under to the pier that adjoins the Grand Haven State Park beachfront campground would receive a free plush toy fish with the slogan "Fish Are Friends, Not Food." Signs would likely announce the lighthouse as home of PETA's Fish Empathy Center.

Locals are dumbfounded by the proposal.

"It doesn't make any sense to me at all," Capt. Dan Tebo said Tuesday, a mile offshore in his Grand Haven-based fishing charter boat the D'Ann Marie. "I just don't understand where they are coming from. We fish here for the fish. That's what God gave them to us for."

Under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Program, nonprofit organizations have been encouraged to apply for ownership of lighthouses throughout the nation. The program is aimed at removing the cost of historic preservation from the Coast Guard. New owners must prove to the lighthouses' current keeper -- the National Parks Service -- their financial ability to maintain buildings and make them available to the public for education.

PETA also has applied to take over three more lighthouses: the Robbins Reef light off Bayonne, N.J., the fortress-like Punta Tuna Lighthouse in Puerto Rico, and the massive structure at the end of the pier in Kewaunee, Wis.

But Rajt, who is a West Michigan native, said she's most hopeful about the Grand Haven location because she knows its potential as a premier Great Lakes tourism destination.

Authorities in Grand Haven don't believe the National Park Service will allow the politicization of such a public property.

"We are a destination known for our beautiful beaches, our lighthouses, catwalk, pier and boardwalk. It is what makes Grand Haven what we are. We are protective about that," said Marci Cisneros, executive director of tourism for the Grand Haven Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. "I don't think PETA is who Washington had in mind for this."

Rajt said PETA understands the historic nature of Grand Haven's lighthouses so changes and the addition of signage would be kept to a minimum.

A decision isn't expected for months from the National Parks Service.

You want to know what PETA calls fish? "Sea kittens"....I shit you not.


They are forgetting to thank us for the selective harvesting we do on fish to keep the population in check.Selective harvest helps keep the lakes healthy and the fish growing bigger,without the fishermen the lakes would have nothing but unhealthy fishery.They don't mention that though,right?

[sTr]

fish is really the only hunting that controls population, deer maybe, besides that mostly for fun.. ! say fish on... ! mean sea kitten on...

[Insanecowposse]

Fact:Peta kills more animals then they save and they have a giant freezer for all the dead animals

[Star]

i'm not nearly as offended by that as i am some other things, i probably wouldn't have even paid attention to the message had they not pointed it out

[sTr]

this is my favorite peta ad....

[sTr]

this is classic too....

[Star]

yeah, i like the ones in the uk where the pregnant ladies get naked inside of a cage to protest cruelty to sows

[Insanecowposse]

You really ought to get pictures of this.

[Alyzzia]

Haha speaking of the sea kittens thing I went on that site one day and seen this funny ass advertisement on there so I had to take a screen shot.



Note the top advertisement when you look at the picture :)

[Grimlin]

agagagaga @ top advertisement

[Star]

and this because it amuses me

[sTr]

hell yeah, peta rocks....

[Toxic Love]

I hate PETA... and I'm a fucking vet tech/ACO/ACI.

[sTr]

crazy people are awesome though....

[Toxic Love]

PETA said they if you have a pet, you are enslaving it. Right, like domesticated animals are going to survive without human intervention.

YET.

Ingrid, whom is their president, "rescued" these hogs from a film she made about a pig farm, and is keeping them on her property as her own PETS.

Shit, she's enslaving the bacon.

I took this animal rights class once, as a freshman at IUPUI, and the lady that taught it was this crazy PETA lady. She was totally vegan and wouldn't wear anything made from animals, supposedly. Which, if that's how you want to live, is totally your own choice, and hey, I admire you, because it takes a lot of discipline. She started showing us all these films, though, about her former students breaking in to testing facilities and farms, and stealing -rather, "rescuing"- the animals. I mean, yeah, some of the things they do are horrible, I don't deny that, but by breaking into a facility and stealing, you aren't exactly giving your organization a good name. She also used to fret in class about whether or not it was okay to let her cats out into the woods, because she didn't want to make them unhappy by keeping them in where they had food, water, and shelter, but rather wanted them to be "free" with their instincts. It just pissed me off, because I don't see how putting an animal that is entirely reliant upon you for everything out into the woods to play with coyotes and foxes is somehow better than keeping it in.

[Insanecowposse]

the naked protesters were a let down i was hoping for really hot women instead they are pregger posing as pigs

[Enigma]
