Not to give Michael Vick a free pass but PETA lost the moral high ground long ago

PETA Kills Far More Animals than Michael Vick

WASHINGTON -- While People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) protests the National Football League today over Michael Vick's dog-fighting indictment, the animal "rights" group is ignoring its own sordid puppy-killing operation, the Center for Consumer Freedom said today. Public records released by the State of Virginia show that PETA itself has killed 14,479 dogs and cats since 1998, including 90 percent of the animals it took in for "adoption" in 2005. And PETA is presently more than 3 months overdue to report its 2007 numbers.

"It's astonishing but true," said Center for Consumer Freedom Director of Research David Martosko. "PETA itself kills helpless, adoptable animals by the thousands out of sheer inconvenience. Why anyone continues to take this bunch of hypocrites seriously is beyond me."
Documents relating to PETA's massive animal-killing program can be found on the Internet at www.PETAkillsAnimals.com. In sworn testimony during the January 2007 animal-cruelty trial of two PETA employees, a PETA manager acknowledged that the organization has a walk-in freezer for the purpose of storing dead pets. She also acknowledged that PETA contracts with a Norfolk-area crematory service to dispose of the dead bodies, which measure over a ton each month.

Martosko continued: "PETA's president acknowledges that her group could 'become a no-kill shelter overnight.' But that would mean the group could no longer afford to spend millions of dollars on cheap publicity stunts, to say nothing of harassing pet food companies, restaurants, and medical researchers."

Another PETA employee faces grand larceny charges in southern Virginia, related to the alleged 2006 theft of a hunting dog and its radio-tracking collar. PETA has not yet indicated whether the dog in question was slated to be put to death.

PETA's Pen Is Mightier Than the Matador's Sword?
PETA claims Annamarie Lytle is a supermodel. Although the votes aren't in on that one, they have talked her into dropping trou' for the cause. Or maybe she as just interested in a litttle free publicity to jump start a flagging career as a web-famous bikini babe.

She's baring it all for the bulls#@* by posing for one of those cheesey pens that used to be sold at fly-by-night carnivals. It features a clothed Lytle that quickly turns into an uncensored image wearing nothing but plastic horns and a red bandana when the pen is inverted.

The press release asked "Why is Lytle shedding her clothes on a writing implement?" The sniggering little rat boy who wrote the copy hits us with a real groander of an answer: "She wants to "draw" attention to the cruel Running of the Bulls, during which frightened bulls are terrorized with electric prods and sharp sticks in order to force them to stampede."

Never at a loss for reasons to get the ladies to expose more than eough, PETA's Running of the Nudes is a soft core porn alternative to the Running of the Bulls which took place July 5 in Pamplona.

A form on PETA's let people enter a drawing for ten pen winners woth a grand prize of an autographed photo of Lytle. I'm sure it's already thumbtacked to a wall in some college freshman's dorm room.

You Know the Drill

After a short hiatus caused by totalling an automobile, I'm back and late at picking up the latest stunt by the snickering boys at PETA. Always in love with a little T & A, one of the brew crew PETA pornsters checked his copy of Playboy and found Michelle Manhart, U.S. Army drill sergeant and Playboy poseur.

"Perfect for PETA!" they thought. "She's a hot babe and she's already shown she'll get naked for the camera." The controversy created by the army drumming her out of the service for her flashy side job only fueled their lust.

Of course, Michelle gladly got naked again, this time to support PETA’s anti-fur campaign. Playboy's press people think Michelle’s ad is at least the 11th "Playboy-approved body" in PETA print or billboard advertising. The others include Playmates Anna Nicole Smith, Pamela Anderson and Lauren Anderson, Baywatch stars Traci Bingham and Gena Lee Nolin, actress Carre Otis, Survivor star Jenna Morasca, swimsuit model Joanna Krupa, host-of-all-trades Bonnie-Jill Laflin, and Girl Next Door Holly Madison.

Playboy babes often take part in PETA’s street protests, too. Robin Arcuri likes to appear in public places, her body adorned with lines and text indicating “BREAST”, “THIGH”, “FLANK.” Get it? It's as clever as they get at Playboy....err PETA!
