Oh my. I had heard about that disturbingly sad story on CNN and I thought it gross then. What PETA has done is just beyond me, I really cannot understand how anyone would want to turn that in order to get some message across. It was shocking, yes, but lord completely in poor taste and absolutely uncalled for.
As far as PETA as a group/organization I have been against them for a long while. They kill, via euthanasia over 75-80% of the animals they rescue, including kittens and puppies, and pregnant animals. So I cannot think their cause is a just one at all - the retards.
