New PETA ad targets Anna Maria shark attack victim
 Source: mysuncoast.com

ANNA MARIA, Fla. - A controversial PETA advertisement has been released, targeting the recent victim of a shark attack that happened off the coast of Anna Maria Island.

"Payback is Hell" is being used to send anglers a message that fish feel pain.

"It may be an unusual way to get the message across, but I think it will cause people to be more sensitive towards fish," says Ashely Byrne with PETA.

Last weekend, 21-year-old, C.J. Wickersham was spearfishing in the Gulf of Mexico, just a few miles from Anna Maria Island.

"We are certainly glad the man is going to be alright, but we hope he and other fishermen will use this as an opportunity to rethink fishing," said Byrne.

1. They do it to get our attention, to make us remember them... 
 And it works.

I don't even think they care if we hate them...

This story just sucks.

3. Here's the story on the shark attack victim. I keep thinking PETA won't sink lower
 and keep being disappointed by them. Let me see if I have this right. If people stop fishing, sharks will turn vegan?

7. If they believe that, I dare PETA to swim with sharks.
 It would solve a couple of problems.

11. Vegan sharks? 
 No? So why should humans become vegans or vegetarians?

14. PETA was penetrated many years ago. 
 The Powers That Be have their people on the inside crafting these types of ops to discredit the Left.

I have a copy of a videotape that was crafted by one of them for public consumption. They gave it to me to watch and I still have it.

It's just another version of the COINTELPRO provocateur.

IF that is true (which it isn't), why do people continue to donate to and join this organization.  Too many idiots really buy what PETA is selling. 

BTW: "cointelpro provocateur" just sounds like something perverse.  Probably just because of the source.   :p

That's probably due to said primitive being penetrated . . . by something non-natural.

Hitler and the head Nazi's were big on animal rights. If nothing else, read the last couple of paragraphs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_in_Nazi_Germany

ETA: WTH, I copied it for you and high lighted the important stuff.

Boria Sax argues in his book Animals in the Third Reich: Pets, Scapegoats, and the Holocaust that the Nazis manipulated attitudes towards animal protection to conform to their own symbolic system. Presumably, by equating the National Socialist German Workers Party with "nature", the Nazis reduced ethical issues to biological questions. As a result, predatory animals were often honored along with their human counterparts i.e. leaders and functionaries of the Nazi party, and opponents were identified as sheep destined to be killed.[24]

If so, it's apparently a nice one that allows the inmates internet access.

It is the same reason that people give money to the HSUS thinking that they run animal shelters. No one wants to take the time to research the places they send money.
