Your Kids, PETA's Pawns; How the animal rights movement targets children
Center for Consumer Freedom | March 24, 2008

Posted on 04/27/2008 6:21:54 PM PDT by Eric Blair 2084

A seventh-grader organizes a protest outside a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Washington. A 15-year-old girl attempts to ban circus elephants in Denver. A rash of adolescent-driven, animal-rights-related vandalism hits California. A popular software company promotes a video game about "animal liberation" activists who destroy medical research labs, and in a new game “Clubby the Seal” takes revenge by collecting human skin hides. Is there any doubt that the animal rights movement is targeting your kids?

In a newly updated report, "Your Kids, PETA's Pawns," the Center for Consumer Freedom explores how one group, the $31 million People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), utilizes its vast resources to attract children and teenagers -- the next generation of potential meat eaters, milk drinkers, circus-goers, and fishermen – to its cult-like crusade. In its 2007 annual report PETA boasts of having “the largest youth membership of any animal rights organization,” with over 800,000 Peta members.

Despite denunciations from psychologists and school officials, PETA continues to target children as young as six years old with violent and graphic propaganda. Sidestepping parents and school authorities, PETA lures young and impressionable children into radical activism with a coordinated effort including the use of graphic comic books,grotesque toys, schoolyard demonstrations, e-mail alerts sent directly to 65,000 children, and even a classroom lecturer with a felony rap sheet.

Not convinced? Read the updated "Your Kids, PETA's Pawns" and learn how this radical animal rights group is still a multi-million-dollar menace to children of all ages. Teachers, principals, school board members, and school psychologists can request printed copies by e-mailing us your name and job title, the name of your school or school district, and a mailing address. Copies of our ad in Newsweek (suitable for hanging in your faculty lounge) are also available.

Please allow me to rant for 15 seconds. FR as therapy beats $400 per hour to sit on a couch (rant on) The conglomeration of food companies which CCF is a front group for by their own admission, never cared about kicking smokers out of their restaurant. I remember the days when you could smoke in McDonalds. Don't get me wrong, it's their frickin restaurant, they own it and they can reserve the right to refuse service to assholes like me if they want to. It's their private property and if they decide that smoke free will increase profits, than good. Seems to have worked for them, profits are up. (/rant off)

Now back to "I'll take YOU'RE NEXT for $500 Alex...."

The same Hitler Youth who the public school system sent back home to nag you about your smoking, has a new brigade of brainwashed youngsters to torture you...

The animal rights people want to equate the value of animal life to human life.

This is just another way to attack and degrade the value of human life.

Honestly, I’m more or less a vegetarian myself, (but I could care less if other people eat meat, and I’ll happily wear fur or leather), and all against legit animal abuse like puppy mills or dogfights, and I even think PETA is way out of line here.

Just change the group name from PETA to “Right to Life” and watch the skawking begin in the MSM.

On another note, I don’t care what some panny waist urban yoots want. They’ll never amount to anything but government teet suckers anyway. I bet that the productive members of our future society are the majority of the small town, agricultural, home schooled and independent thinking youths anyway.

That's the not so funny thing about leftist progressives...they love animals and trees, but they hate people. They'd rather save an oak tree and some carribou and let unborn human beings die.

If it wasn't so sad, it would be comical. There's really nothing funny about it.

These people would make Torquamada proud with their schemes.
