PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals)

http://www.peta.org/index.asp

Above is a link to PETA website for a better understanding on what PETA is all about and its activities. To make it simple, it's a group that fights for animal rights. I love animals, that's why I like what PETA is doing. I hate cruelty against animals despite the fact that i'm not a vegetarian. But i have some ISSUES with PETA and that's what this blog entry is all about. The issues ?

1. Their advertisements are like PORNOGRAPHY. They have naked celebrities posing nude to promote their cause with slogans such as "I RATHER GO NUDE THAN WEAR FUR" or promoting people to become vegetarian by having nude people posing. I don't see how these are relevant to being naked? Can't you wear something else besides fur rather than going naked? It's like trying to make an ad to get people to stop smoking by putting my slogan like "I RATHER GO NUDE THAN SMOKE". Are you trying to promote nudism?

2. Sometimes, PETA can go crazy by doing street demonstration. Some of the supporters will demonstrate in the NUDE, AGAIN. First it was naked posters, now naked demonstrations.

3. Vegetarian is a healthy life style but it doesn't mean that if you eat meat you are not living a healthy lifestyle. Eating meat doesn't mean you are being cruel to animals. One animal eat another animal, is that cruel? NO. That's what all of us do, the purpose of eating meat is for SURVIVAL. Besides, we humans are OMNIVOURS, we eat meat and non meat products. We have CANINE teeth which clearly means that we ate meant to eat meat. We all learn in school that the purpose of canine tooth is to TEAR MEAT. Why did God give us canine tooth if we are not meant to eat meat? Some of these PETA ads tend to make non vegetarians look evil because we eat meat.


The pictures below will illustrate the points that i am making :

Seriously, what kind of freaking advertisment is this? It's a DISGRACE to Christianity. The Pope will have a heart attack.

A DISGRACE to your country by posing nude with your country's flag? In Malaysia, if you are naked and you wrapped your naked self with Malaysia flag, you will get SCREWED by the country. It's very DISRESPECTFUL.

Another NUDE BIMBOISH AD...

Hello, you DON'T have to be NAKED to SAVE ANIMALS...


Street demonstration. I have to admit, it's CREATIVE but UTTERLY STUPID. Eating meat is not wrong to the extend you have to show it this way..

Pregnant woman demonstrating it's cruel to caged animals.. And you can see the sign GO VEGETARIAN. Is this how you attract people to be vegetarian? By using naked women?


Another nude vegetarian ad.. Stupid and conceptless..


Another stupid naked vegetarian ad..


AHHH, this is my super favourite ad. I give it 5 star rating.. If u want to tell people wearing fur is wrong, then this is how you do it. You give them CLEAR STRAIGHT MESSAGE. No nakedness involved. This is what you call EFFECTIVE ADVERTISMENT. Whoever created this is a genius.


CONCLUSION : PETA should really RETHINK how they are promoting their cause. It's WRONG and IMMORAL - poking fun at their country and religion indirectly. Do you expect people to take their cause seriously if the way they are promoting their cause look semi porno?
