PETA Exploits a Tiger!

Sort of. PETA thought they’d be clever in getting a message across by using “a fun, tongue-in-cheek approach.” Please see this fun approach here. Classy. PETA representative Virginia Fort states that, “The world has been transfixed on Tiger’s life after Thanksgiving. We’re putting the focus where it needs to be.” Uhhh…Cat contraception? Further, Ms. Fort says, “We’re sure Tiger will appreciate our attempt – from a story that’s distracted the world and followed Tiger – to turn it into something for little tigers.” Welp, that’s a quick way to lose any remaining credibility/perception of sanity your organization once had. Who wants to get a steak tonight?

*Thanks to Tom Reed for sending this along.

  1. How come PETA gets to define what constitutes "ethical treatment of animals?" How is cutting a cat's balls off ethical treatment? Isn't this at least debatable? PETA's just the worst. Animals are great, but PETA makes me want to arrange cock fights just to spite them.

  4. Virginia Fort sounds like some Rebel hideout that the Union Army munsoned in the Civil War.
