Let's Destroy the Family, Says PETA...
Your mother is a killer, PETA says to kids. And you know what? They're telling the truth. Our mothers, our fathers, we ourselves, are killers. Every time you eat, drink, turn on the light, you kill something, directly or indirectly. Even the self-righteous PETA morons do. Just our mere existence kills other living beings, because where you live, someone else can't. That is a fact of life. A rule of the game. There's no way around it.
But when you show kids a picture of a woman (representing their mummy), knifing a scared-faced bunny (bunnies can't make scared faces, but when has PETA cared about the facts), it tells the kids that mummy is an evil person. That she should be feared. Shunned. Avoided. Put to prison. Cast out of the society. Mummy!
That picture has nothing to do with fur. Or the conditions in which animals raised for fur live. It is a picture of mummy butchering a cute, cuddly, fluffy bunny! She's not wearing a furcoat. She's wearing something a housewife might wear in a 50's commercial for household products. While working in a kitchen. She's not wearing fur in those clothes, she's preparing dinner. It should be quite obvious where this picture is going...
Don't they think the family structure has taken enough beating in the last few decades? Is anyone else thinking, '1984' and 'Spies'?
