PETA Tells Kids to Run From Daddy
Friday, November 25, 2005

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, has begun a campaign
to scare children into becoming vegetarians.

The group, which formed to stop animal testing of consumer products but made
its name by attacking women in fur coats with fake blood, is producing comic
books that portray fathers as homicidal maniacs.

The handout, titled "Your Daddy Kills Animals," features a grinning lunatic
gutting a fish, and warns kids to keep their puppies and kittens away from
Dad because he's "hooked on killing."

"PETA is trying as hard as it can to portray the ordinary angler as a
demonic, sadistic, cruel killer. This is what PETA does - it paints
caricatures of ordinary people to try to convince the rest of us that we
shouldn't want to emulate them," said David Martosko, of the industry
lobbying group Center for Consumer Freedom.

But PETA insists that its comic is not outlandish.

"The scientific facts are that fish feel pain in the same way as dogs and
cats. It's no more acceptable to hook a fish through the mouth and drag them
into your boat and slice them in half than it would be to do the exact same
thing to a dog or a cat," said Bruce Friedrich, vegan campaign coordinator
for PETA.

Publicity stunts are nothing new for PETA, which has run ads featuring naked
women in cages and people dressed in animal suits warning about the dangers
of eating meat. But some critics feel the kid-targeted campaign goes too
far.

"This is traumatizing kids by the thousands. There's going to be long-term
psychological damage from these kids being exposed to the material that PETA
puts in front of them on a regular basis," Martosko said.

But, Friedrich countered, "They can certainly find stuff that is more in
your face on the Internet, more in your face on Saturday morning cartoons.
We don't need to shelter our kids quite that much."

The pamphlet follows a previous one that painted Mom as a "chicken killer."
PETA claims its only goal is to reduce meat consumption by changing
children's eating habits. Critics insist alienating children from their
parents isn't in anyone's best interests - human or animal.

How likely is it that your kid or mine will see any of this? My daughter has
made it 14 years of her life never hearing of PETA and most adults never
heard of them either. Atleast the hillbillies I live around.

I thought this was all pretty funny because it reminded me of about a
year ago when my grandfather gave me a bluefish he'd caught earlier in
the day. It was dead and cleaned, but not yet filleted. I'd never
filleted a fish before so I had to pull out the cookbook and do it step
by step. My son, 4 years old at the time, stood on a chair next to me
and watched the whole process intently. He was disappointed that there
were no inner organs for him to see -- he wanted to know where the heart
was, where the stomach was, etc. He did enjoy seeing the bones, the
fins, the meat parts. When I was done filleting the fish, he beamed,
"I'm *so* *glad* I got to watch you fillet that fish, Dad!"

So, I'm not sure their pamphlet would work on him. :^)

You left off the best part (most harmful and libellous).

Food for thought.

Many years ago, PETA had a campaign on tuna. They basically wanted
dolfin-safe tuna meaning they did not like dolfins being killed in the
tuna industry. But they ignored albacore being killed in the tuna
industry.

And then the op reminds me of the media suggesting peta's actions were
tolerable when it aimed at non-father aimed campaign, but not when it
comes to targetting children to their fathers.

Selective? PETA was saying it's not ok to kill dolfins, but it's ok to
kill albacore. The media is saying it's not ok to target kids in the
campaign, but it's ok if it is targetted to non-kids (adults). Or at
least tolerable.

To be fair, volume 1 was, "Mommy Kills Animals".

I guess they thought "Reefer Madness" was effective, too.
