Peta Update

I found Peta's response in my junkmail this morning, which only seemed to foreshadow their response. Received was about 10MB of information on PETA, along with many reasons why I should join and support the Go Green campaign. Oh and then he finally replied to my issue with a one-liner regarding how those "wasteful" marketing tactics actually outweigh the negative impacts on the environment when looking at the rising number of "go green" individuals. IE. a greater decrease in wasted products in the end. Um...no. That is not the point. Figure out more efficient and self-reflecting marketing tactics PETA.

Oh and by that, I don't mean sending girls out in their bikinni's, during 10 degree weather, to KFC's in Maine to protest animal rights. What about human rights? And did you really just subjugate a female's identity for publicity purposes?


I especially can't forget about one of PETA's latest marketing schemes. PETA handed out pamphlets stating "Your mommy kills animals" to children of mothers wearing fur or buying meat at school events, grocery stores, etc. Have they accounted for the psychological damage that could cause to children?

PETA stops at nothing to gain publicitiy. And their ruthless attemps always give them a response: positive or negative. But really, they could care less whether or not they use poor publicity stunts in order to send a message--they simply thrive for any reflection from the media. I hate to say it, but it is an enviable method in being noticed. How could the press not eat up every one of PETA'S words? They're "discussing" animal rights and the environment, in a very descriptive (and heavily exaggerated) fashion. Those things always "win" in the media.

I'm sure that when PETA first began, their motivations and goals were much less corrupt. There's a reason why the FBI and ACLU are on your back. No one can deny that animal rights and environmental efforts are two VERY important components to attaining a healthier and more sustainable globe. They just need to find more honest and integral ways of doing so.
