'PETA Kills Animals' Billboards Shut Out of Phoenix

CHANDLER, Ariz., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its continuing media campaign to educate Arizonans about the radical animal rights movement, the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) had hoped to rent billboards in the Phoenix metro area with the truthful message that "PETA Kills Animals." But local ad companies, including CBS Outdoor Media and Clear Channel Outdoor, consider the truth about PETA too shocking and controversial to display in public. One CBS Outdoor representative told CCF that it could not accept the billboards because they are "attack ads."

So instead of advertising its PetaKillsAnimals.com website on stationary billboards, CCF will sponsor mobile-billboard trucks featuring the website's address during the week of October 23. Two trucks will circulate in Phoenix's East Valley all week.

The PetaKillsAnimals.com website, which has already been visited by over six million Americans, features government reports obtained from the Commonwealth of Virginia showing that, between 1998 and 2005, the Norfolk-based PETA killed over 14,400 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals." And two PETA employees will face felony animal-cruelty charges on November 13 for allegedly killing 31 adoptable dogs and cats in the back of a PETA-owned van-and tossing their bodies into a trash dumpster.

"PETA has carefully cultivated a fake public image as a warm-and-fuzzy group," said David Martosko, CCF's Director of Research. "But PETA should be spending its $26 million annual budget caring for flesh-and-blood animals instead of killing them. Arizonans shouldn't be taken in by PETA's phony-baloney act. They deserve to know what PETA really stands for: People Executing Tame Animals."

This billboard blitz is the latest volley in CCF's campaign to educate Arizonans about the animal rights movement. CCF has already run full-page ads this month in the Arizona Republic and East Valley Tribune, and a new television ad is slated to air this week in Phoenix. The billboard rejected in Phoenix has already appeared in New York City's Times Square and in Los Angeles.

Sadie, we knew ye when ye were a lady!

Sadie Frost is mooning the world, 'turning her back on fur' in the newest PETA porn ad campaign. The sometime actress and occasional 'fur-free' fashion designer exposed herself in a nude portrait launched in London's Covent Garden.

Frost, a strict vegetarian, teamed up with PETA to bare all for a new anti-fur ad photographed by rock legend and fellow vegetarian Bryan Adams. It was another in a continuing "Turn your back on fur" campaign that seems to be a thinly veiled effort to con young semi-celebs into posing naked.

Frosty hoped to turn a few heads (her mother? father? Mr. Adams?) with the ad and get some cheap press attention for PETA's tiresome anti-fur campaign.

Frost reportedly worked out a lot before the photo shoot to make her body look in the best shape possible; Six months of gluteus maximus exercises, for instance. The work outs were particularly important to her since the photo shoot went way beyond the usual soft core PETA porn displayed by the organization's other mental heavyweights such as Pamela Anderson. This time, PETA pervs are treated to a full gluteus maximus shot, the full (reverse) Monty as she showed Bryan Adams and the rest of the world's meat eaters her ass.
