Sick Peta stunt exploiting Dr. Tiller's murder: dog, I detest those assholes.

George Tiller shooting prompts PETA ad campaign in Wichita

WICHITA - A national animal rights group plans to erect billboards in Wichita urging people on both sides of the abortion debate to go vegetarian.

One version of the billboard says, "Pro-Life? Go Vegetarian." The other says, "Pro-Choice? Choose Vegetarian." Both feature a photo of three baby chicks.

Lindsay Rajt, campaign manager for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said the billboards were prompted by the recent shooting death of abortion doctor George Tiller, who was killed Sunday at his church.

"The discussion of the value of life is front and center right now in the public conversation," Rajt said.

"We think we would be irresponsible if we don't talk about how we're all guilty of extreme cruelty to animals every time we sit down to a meal that includes meat."

Rajt said her group contacted Wichita-area billboard companies Tuesday but was waiting to hear back about availability. She did not know where or when the billboards would be posted.

1. Fanatic is as fanatic does!

when it comes to fanaticism, there is no difference between them in their attitude, no matter what their ideology.

2. I think it's unfortunate that they chose to do this in light of Dr. Tiller's murder, however, divorced from that completely, it's sort of an interesting campaign. (I know it's not divorced from that completely as they seem to have come up with the idea post-murder.)

4. PETA--absolute MORONS. They find ways to alienate people who might support them.

What a sad and pathetic group of fanatics they are.

5. What tripe

"If our billboards leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth, we just think they might give a thought to what animals feel when they go to the slaughterhouse," she said."

Really, they think this message will resonate with Wichitans? Of all places, people in this part of the world are far more aware of the origins of their food than Ms. Rajt could possibly understand.

BTW This is the brilliant mind who thought up this campaign in action...

6. Reprehensible.

And in extremely poor taste, although that has never stopped them before.

Perhaps if the connection here was a little bit less tenuous. Instead, it's an opportunistic non sequitur.

I'm terribly fond of pointing out hypocrisy among extremist vegetarians and vegans. We always start with the leather shoes.
