Check out the new campaign PETA is planning to use to "get their message across" to kids.

Yeah, what fuckers. CNN is showing the actual pamphlet: a blonde woman stabbing an animal with tons of gore. A freind of mine said that he'll beat the hell out of anyone giving his kids that crap. He'd be defending his children after all.

I'm not a supporter of using animals specifically for coats and other stuff like that, but the PETA reminds me of a bunch of rabid fanatics. This latest terror tactic is completely inappropriate and is an attempt to undermine a family structure by destroying a child's perspective of their parents. This is one of those wonderful cases where the cure is worse than the disease.

Well, if "Mommy" is wearing a fur coat, it sounds justified to me. Children shouldn't be shielded from the truth about where and HOW animal-related consumer products are made.
This also isn't a "terror tactic." A "terror tactic" would be torching Mommy's fur closet.

More like adjusting.
Yeah, maybe it's a little over the top, but I think we wouldn't be where we are now re: the humane treatment of animals if terror tactics weren't used once in a while.

Great: if "mommy" is a gynocologist, should the Right To life people get to shove abortion pics in the children's hands too? Traumatizing children is far more wrong than anything a furrier does to an animal.

I can't wait for them to get all animal products eliminated. Then they will start their jihad for the ethical treatment of plants. How dare those barbaric vegans destroy an entity that merely wants to grow and bask in the sunshine! That's inhumane!

The site says that the people handing out the pamphlets are dressed as animals. Someone should go up to them and yell at them for wearing fur.

I think that all of PETA's members should be turned loose in the woods just about the time a bunch of Black Bears are coming out of hibernation. Then they could "rationalise" with the bears how they have "saved them" while they are being eaten.

Snay, Cartman, you are missing the point. It is completely inappropriate to be showing those types of pictures to children. It is not up to PETA to adjust a childs outlook on their parents.
I'm not saying that children should always stay in the shadow of their parents, but this is well beyond the limits of reasonable action.
If you have a problem with something a person is doing, bring it up with them, not their children. Kids are exposed to enough garbage daily they don't need that added to it.
