PETA Criticizes Joe Biden for Colbert Appearance

Last week, Vice President Joe Biden appeared on The Colbert Report handing out hot dogs to troops in the audience. And now People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has released a statement condemning the Veep for not serving veggie dogs. Oddly enough, PETA voiced no objection to the dead opossum Biden wears on his head.

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.

PETA Mad at Barack Obama for Killing Fly Because of Course They Are

Q: Is there any situation that PETA cannot make more stupid by its mere commenting?

A: No…

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."

PETA, bringing compassion to its absurdist extreme since 1980.

Pro-Life? Pro-Choice? Can We at Least Agree on Being Anti-PETA

Every once in a while, I get a pang of guilt over all the pigs and cows and chickens and mountain lions I've eaten in my life, and I seriously consider giving up meat and making an attempt at vegetarianism.

But then I think: If you do that, you'll be on the same team as PETA. And then I immediately run to the nearest BBQ place I can find and see how many dead animals I can shove into my face before I throw up.

From Feministing…

PETA is treating the assassination of Dr. Tiller as an opportunity to spread their message to the pro-life and pro-choice communities. According to Kansas.com the animal rights organization is planning to erect two billboards in Wichita, one that says "Pro-Life? Go Vegetarian," and one that says "Pro-Choice? Choose Vegetarian." Both show images of baby chicks…

PETA is not a social justice organization. Their primary media tactic is to appeal to the worst bigotry in U.S. culture in an attempt to stir up controversy and shock people into vegetarianism. Their tactics in working for animal rights is an affront to the cause of justice.

Hopefully — for PETA's sake — a whole bunch more people will be violently murdered before this controversy is over. It'd be a shame if they ran out of reasons to send women out into public to smear on body paint and get naked in the name of stopping all the exploitation.
