Since when did PETA start thinking that the struggle for animal rights had everything to do with female sexuality? Does it really take a half naked woman to force the public to see animal violence as wrong? I find it completely incomprehensible that PETA is fighting for animal rights while simultaneously objectifying and degrading women. In my recent conversations with other vegans, I've learned that even these groups of people believe PETA is going too far, or rather in a completely different direction, in order to get a rather unrelated message across. PETA's recent responses to my protests are claims that women who choose to do this are doing it completely voluntarily as a way to "make a strong point."
This past season of NBC's superbowl really did the trick for PETA, whom submitted a video for airtime commercials regarding vegetarianism. Watch this:
The video consists of horny women in lacy lingerie fondling fresh fruits and vegetables as if they were inanimate sex toys. This commercial ends with the slogan "Vegatarians Have Better Sex" without any evidence to back that up...of course. Clearly, NBC did not air this commercial, but what it did do was draw a lot of attention to the rejected video for media to eat up. Whether or not PETA had the true intention to fork over the 3 million dollars to gain airtime or not, they won the publicity they wanted, despite this video having hardly anything to do with animal rights.
Please send your thoughts toward PETA and tell them to reevaluate their ideals. http://www.peta.org/mc/contactMedia.asp. Or even better, contact your local PETA headquarters with information on respecting the female body.
