They'll have to pull my ribeye from my cold, dead hands. I wonder if she knows that her rumpled "Love Animals" T-shirt was made from fabric that was likely treated at the textile plant (probably in China) with starch made from pig "parts".

Ingrid Newkirk is a phony as is her PETA organization. It's all about MONEY!

******

Don't be fooled by the slick propaganda of PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The organization may claim to champion the welfare of animals, as the many photos of cute puppies and kittens on its Web site suggest. But last week, two PETA employees were charged with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty each, after authorities found them dumping the dead bodies of 18 animals they had just picked up from a North Carolina animal shelter into a Dumpster. According to the Associated Press, 13 more dead animals were found in a van registered to PETA.' (San Francisco Chronicle)

..backed by nearly $30 million yearly in private contributions

$30 freggin` million a year, yet never in my life have I ever seen a PETA animal shelter, hospital or even a freggin` zoo, or a PETA-ing zoo. But I`m sure as Dr. Evil would say, it would be an "evil petting zoo".

This is what happens in the modern world to people who have too much time on their hands and too little actual grey matter between their ears. Their focus on chickens will someday extend to cockroaches, flies and mosquitos. We will have to euthanize the bugs before we raid them.

Ingrid Newkirk

Isn't she the diabetic who is dependent on insulin developed through research using animals? I believe she is.

I recall one time I was sitting in Outback Steakhouse reading an article about PETA and those militant vegetarians.

Calmly reading the article as I enjoyed my extremely rare steak.

Delicious (pun intended) irony.

(Newkirk says PETA's ultimate goal is a world where humans don't eat, wear or exploit animals.)

That's good enough to give credence to the corporations that say that all PETA carea about is to raise their cost. Any corporation appeasing PETA is a fool. Their only hope is to all of them stand up to PETA together.

I lost my PETA t-shirt, People Eating Tasty Animals. It was fun wearing it around libs.

Peta really needs to work on their mailing list, I receive at least one request for donation each year. I just stuff their propaganda back into the no postage required envelope and send it back. They keep sending it. I know it costs them around a dollar to pick it up. Oh well.....

When ALF member Roger Troen was convicted of burglary and arson at the University of Oregon, in which $36,000 in damage was inflicted, PeTA paid Troen's $27.000 legal fees and his $34,900 fine. Gary Thorud testified under oath that "we were illegally funding this individual with money solicited for other causes, and Ingrid was using that money, bragging to
the staff that she had spent $25,000 on the case."
Deposition of Gary Thorud, Berosini v. PeTA, at 49-50.

A PeTA consultant won control of the Toronto Humane Society, endowed with $14 million, last fall through a proxy fight. One of her employees recently was arrested for possession of explosives and weapons, and vandalizing a restaurant that served chicken ...
David Arnold, "Fight Looms over Animal Rights Group," Boston Globe, April 10, 1987, p. 23.

PeTA has a paid staff of more than eighty people and claims to have 400,000 members, but actually has only three. In 1987, PeTA's three-member board of directors (Newkirk, Pacheco, and Kim Stallwood) voted themselves the only "members" of the organization. By doing so, they converted their "members" into customer/contributors and themselves into a multimillion-dollar partnership.

The group reported an annual budget of $10.5 million in 1991, with more than $9 million coming from contributions and most of the rest from sale of PeTA merchandise. That's enough money to save an awful lot of animals. But PeTA does not use one single cent of its money to purchase wildlife habitat, find homes for strays, spay and neuter pets, or research alternative biomedical or wildlife management techniques.

Rodney Coronado, a member of the Animal Liberation Front, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 57 months in prison for the destruction of an animal diagnostics research lab at the University of California, Davis in April, 1987 (total damage estimates: $4.5 million). PETA sent $ 45,200 to Coronado's 'support committee,' which was a sum 15 times greater
than what PETA spent on animal shelters nationwide in all of that year.

Bruce Fredrich of PeTA was given 8 months of prison time for violating probation. Bruce, who is also a Peace activist, was originally convicted for trying to disarm a F-15 fighter plane at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. He was sentenced to 15 months and three years probation. During probation he was arrested for animal rights activities. (Animal Liberation Front)

Physicians Committee For Irresponsible Medicine.

Anti-Atkins, Anti-Meat Group's True Agenda Revealed.

By Anthony Colpo, December 14, 2003.

Readers may have heard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a group of outspoken "doctors" who have been particularly vocal in their opposition to high protein, low carbohydrate diets. The Committee recently attracted press attention by claiming that a 41-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl died from sudden cardiac arrest while on the Atkins diet.

The PCRM also actively campaigns against the use of animals in laboratory research, and is a prolific source of anti-meat and anti-dairy propaganda. The PCRM even has a website encouraging people to consider "legal recourse" (read: find an unscrupulous attorney and sue) against doctors who prescribe low-carb diets.

While it may portray itself as a "responsible" purveyor of diet and health advice, the PCRM is in fact little more than a band of radical vegan activists masquerading as medical professionals. Despite the impression given by its title, PCRM’s own literature reveals that 95 percent of its members never graduated from medical school. Nonetheless, PCRM are frequently quoted in scare-mongering media stories about the alleged "dangers" of animal foods and high protein diets.


The Center for Consumer Freedom recently revealed that the PCRM has long-standing ties with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an extremist animal rights organization that has funnelled over $850,000 to its medical front group. PCRM president Neal Barnard, a non-practicing psychiatrist, co-chairs the PETA Foundation with PETA co-founder Ingrid Newkirk.


"This misnamed 'physicians committee' represents a tiny fraction of America's doctors who place animal-rights ideology above their patients' health," said Center for Consumer Freedom research director David Martosko. "PCRM has asserted itself as a home for anti-meat, pro-vegan nutritionists who are committed to removing beef, dairy, poultry, and other animal products from the American diet for good."

Just how fanatical and misguided are PCRM and PETA? These organizations' most senior members are only too happy to elucidate:

Neal Barnard, founder and president of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine:
"Meat consumption is just as dangerous to public health as tobacco use."

"To give a child animal products is a form of child abuse."

Toni Vernelli, PETA European Campaign Director:
"Serving a burger to your family today, knowing what we know, constitutes child abuse. You might as well give them weed killer."

Ingrid Newkirk, PETA President:
"There’s no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They’re all animals."

"I am not a morose person, but I would rather not be here. I don’t have any reverence for life, only for the entities themselves. I would rather see a blank space where I am. This will sound like fruitcake stuff again but at least I wouldn’t be harming anything."

"Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it."

The above quotes (click here for more) raise serious doubts about whether or not these folks are fit to tie their own shoelaces, let alone give advice to the public on health and medical issues. In the nihilistic, human-hating worldview of PCRM and PETA, your child's life is no more precious than that of a rat, those burger patties you served to your family last night are grounds for child abuse charges, and consuming meat - something which humans have done with great benefit for millions of years - is no different to consuming highly toxic man-made chemicals or smoking tobacco!

And that's just for starters. According to ConsumerFreedom's 7 Things You Didn't Know About PETA page;

* PETA has stated repeatedly that their goal is "total animal liberation." This means no pets, no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no fishing, no leather, and no animal testing for lifesaving medicines.
* PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals.
* PETA has links to a violent animal-rights group called SHAC.
* PETA has used their contributors’ tax-exempt donations to fund the North American Earth Liberation front, an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for fire bombs and death threats.
* PETA regularly targets kids as early as elementary school with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda.
* PETA spends less than one percent of its $13 million budget actually caring for animals.
* PETA has repeatedly attacked groups like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, for conducting animal testing to find cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases.

PCRM advisory board members include Dr. Andrew Weil - who, judging by his generous midsection, looks as if he himself could do with a good stretch on a low carb diet - and Dean Ornish, the outspoken vegetarian advocate who is fond of claiming that low carb diets will cause everything from impotence to heart disease.

Ingrid Newkirk

Ingrid Newkirk Biography
Ingrid Newkirk isn’t just the President of PETA, she’s also a militant activist. She’s soaked herself in fake blood, of course, but she’s also been arrested more than 20 times. And she’s an avowed supporter of the terrorist Animal Liberation Front.

Newkirk wrote a book called Free the Animals! The Untold Story of the U.S. Animal Liberation Front and Its Founder, ‘Valerie.’ In it she writes that she has “become somewhat used to jumping on a plane with copies of freshly purloined documents and hurriedly calling news conferences to discuss the ALF’s findings.” In 1993, Newkirk arranged an interview for TIME magazine with “Valerie.” Later, the animal-rights movement would be abuzz with speculations that Valerie was just one of Newkirk’s PETA employees. The entire episode has suggested what many federal law enforcement officers have openly speculated: that ALF and PETA may be populated with identical personnel, the only difference being a setting sun and a ski mask.

Newkirk gives interviews to ALF’s publications, supports the legal defense efforts of ALF criminals (with PETA’s money), has been subpoenaed in regard to her ALF connections, and has even been accused in court documents of participation in the ALF arson of a Michigan State University research lab.

In the 1970s, Newkirk worked for Montgomery County (Maryland), and then for the District of Columbia, as an animal protection officer and deputy sheriff, before becoming DC’s first female poundmaster in 1978. She co-founded PETA in 1980 with established animal-rights activist Alex Pacheco. Since then, PETA and Newkirk have become synonymous. Former employees refer to PETA as “the cult of Newkirk.”

Background
Co-founder, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals; Advisory Board member, EarthSave International; Advisory Board member, United Poultry Concerns; Director, The Foundation to Support Animal Protection; animal rights activist

As the founder and the passionate force behind People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Newkirk says her organization is made up simply of "kind people" who want only to end animal abuse and exploitation.

Oh Really Ms. Newkirk. Then please explain why PETA has killed more than 12,000 animals at your Norfolk Virgina headquarters from July of 1998 through the end of 2003.
