Well, that didn’t take long. After Mike Tyson announced he’ll begin filming for a new pigeon racing show to air on Animal Planet, PETA used the opportunity to slam him: “Tyson’s claim to care about pigeons is rather incredulous given that he chooses to tout using them in a ’sport’ that—like horseracing—exposes them to danger and death.”
In this sensitively-scored video from Paris Fashion Week, designer Karl Lagerfeld discusses Chanel’s new “global cooling” inspired collection and the “triumph of fake fur” as models splish-splash down the runway. Although PETA still refers to him as the “notorious fur pimp,” they did acknowledged his endorsement and quoted him: “You cannot fake chic, but you can be chic in fake fur.”
Fake veggie porn Super Bowl ads. Fake bus beheading exploitation ads. The animals rights group constantly hatches fake concepts that they never intend to buy media for. But even more pathetic than the fake ideas, is their fake earnestness about their fake proposals. And these fake pot smuggling-related billboards aren’t even original. Read more »
To protest Canada’s brutal seal hunting policies, a PETA activist from NYC pushed a tofu pie into the face of Oceans and Fisheries Minister Gail Shea at a press conference in Ontario on Monday. The woman was promptly arrested and faces assault charges. Shea shrugged off the incident and said the baby-seal killing fun will proceed.
Kanye West is at Paris Fashion Week with gal pal Amber Rose and they’ve been sporting some pretty ugly furs around town. This has enraged PETA, naturally, and the animal rights group called him an “ethical dropout” and her a “sleazy sidekick.” Read more »
Adult film actress Sasha Grey appears in a new ad campaign for PETA, urging the importance of birth control for pets. As the animal activist group mentions, she is an AVN Award winner and has starred in hundreds of pornos, which begs the question: wouldn’t it therefore be more sensational to recruit women who don’t appear intimately naked on the regular?

Right! This’ll give the terrorists pause. Britain’s Ministry of Defence announced today that the 2,500 elite guards’ traditional bear skin helmets will replaced by actual hollowed out black bear heads. MoD spokesman Chauncey Higginbottom said, “PETA’s been pestering us for years to use synthetic fur for the helmets. Instead, we’ve decided to just go ahead and switch to bloody bear heads.” “Bear in mind,” continued Higginbottom,” that the bear pelts will be used as throw rugs in Buckingham and St. James’s Palaces.” (sigh) Actually, this is the image from a PETA ad that will be running on the sides of 25 London buses with the line: “MoD: Go Fur-Free.” That blood is so fake looking, PETA. Get better retouchers, please? |Image via: London Evening Standard|
The controversial animal rights group PETA has pissed off the White House by using their unauthorized use of an image of Michelle Obama alongside Oprah, Tyra Banks and Carrie Underwood. For the record, the first lady is on record as being opposed to fur, though PETA didn’t request permission to use her in the ads, probably because the White House would have told them to go fuck themselves, as it’s not Kosher for the first lady to endorse political advocacy groups. “We did not consent to this,” said a spokeswomen for the first lady when asked for comment on the campaign. The ads are being plastered all over the Washington D.C. Metro stations. |Yahoo|
We’re not really sure how playing “Seal Slalom” is going to help save baby seals from brutish, mass slaughtering Canadians, but PETA is convinced otherwise. Armchair activism at its worst? Yes! |PETA|
Remember back a few months ago when PETA released that heartbreaking video showing circus workers from Ringling Bros. beating elephants with bull hooks and generally torturing them? Well here’s the baby elephant edition. The animals rights group managed to obtain photos of young pachyderms allegedly getting electroshocked, bound and abused by carnies. With the original footage prompting a federal investigation within days after it was released, it’s only a matter of hours before these agonizing images do the same.
