Is it possible for PETA to soft peddle their porn proclivities?

Probably not. They're hanging their hat (NO! Not there!) on exposing feminine protuberances. A little T & A always draws eyes so why make a legitimate point tastefully when you can do the opening to a "Girls Gone Wild" flick? Here's PETA's press release for their latest prank:


NAKED PETA PROTEST IN SAN JOSE DRAWS CROWD
02/13/06 12:35 PST
SAN JOSE (BCN)

Three young women drew a camera-phone brandishing crowd in downtown San Jose this afternoon when they stripped down to panties and pasties to protest the wearing of fur.

The nubile protesters from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals perched themselves atop an air mattress cover with a pink sheet and held up heart-shaped signs reading "fur out, love in" in front of their chests.

"This is sort of a light-hearted and fun way to draw attention to the issue," PETA spokeswoman and heart-baring protester Brandy Valladoid said. "Every single time we do a protest like this we get an increase in hits to our Web site furisdead.com."

The protesters attracted a steady stream of onlookers, many of them conventioneers from the nearby McEnery San Jose Convention Center, and two San Jose police officers approximately 15 minutes after their noon protest began.

The police officers have spoken with the protesters but so far have made no arrests

True Green Report
Animal Lover, PETA Hater

Monday, February 6, 2006

Thousands of new faces came to check out PETAKillsAnimals.com last night after seeing our new commercial slamming People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for killing over 12,000 cats and dogs since 1998. We ran the ad just before President Bush's State of the Union address last night, and we'd like to share with you what one new reader told us after coming to our site:

• Just saw your ad on TV. As a Franciscan Brother 3rd Order, a person who has always loved animals and as a retired zookeeper/elephant trainer, I can tell you PETA has no standing with me. I have indeed had them lie to my face about animal issues.
  

The founder of the reader's order, St. Francis of Assisi (and namesake of the reader's city, San Francisco), was a legendary animal lover, who preached to animals on multiple occasions. Animal-rights activists have sometimes tried to turn the saint into an icon of their movement. But St. Francis wore wool and did not seek to abolish the eating of meat -- one Franciscan theologian writes: "In early biographies one reads that St. Francis said that if Christmas was on a Friday, the friars should be given a double ration of meat, and animals a double ration of hay

Our reader continues:

• For some people the end, what ever that might be, justifies the means. I became involved in many animal issues as a keeper in San Francisco. Whenever an issue arose and a camera was available PETA was there. I'll never forget Dr. Elliot Katz chaining himself to the Orangutan Grotto only to give it up and go away when no one from the media would take his picture.

Dr. Elliot Katz, by the way, is the kind of respected animal-rights activist who utters gems like this: "It is time we demand an end to the misguided and abusive concept of animal ownership."

PETA Porn “Beauty” Bares All

Here they go again - more PETA porn. I wish PETA would find some other way to make their point but they seem to find appealing to prurient interests – exploiting women – is the best way to peddle their poppycock. They talked Arielle Salasky into exposing herself on Monday in an effort to grab a few dozen headlines. A quick search of the web seems to indicate Ms. Salasky isn’t exactly a stranger to showing a little skin for elephants or personal gain. Google her and see her "art" work.

Richmond, Va. — Wearing nothing but shackles and covered in "scars" as a result of violent "beatings"—an everyday reality for animals in circuses—PETA member and Richmond native Arielle Salasky protested the arrival of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. She was joined by protesters who will held a banner that read, "Shackled, Lonely, Beaten," while others showed undercover video footage of elephant beatings on body screen TVs and held poster-size photos of animals who have died at Ringling’s hands:

“If it takes exposing some of my skin to expose the cruelty that goes on behind the scenes at the circus, I’m happy to do it," says Arielle. "I only have to spend a few minutes in chains, while animals in circuses must endure a lifetime of chains, cages, and beatings."
