PETA Campaign Sparks Backlash

(Toronto) Due to outrage expressed by the public in Toronto, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), "a militant animal-rights group," has decided not to expand its current anti-meat campaign to other Canadian cities. The offensive advertising exploits a series of grisly murders of women in British Columbia by comparing the victims to pigs for market.
"The one unexpected aspect was hearing from the family members, who were and are not the target of the campaign," Bruce Friedrich, PETA's director of vegan campaigns, said from Washington, D.C."
Apparently, if people worry most about what is on a neighbor's dinner plate, they don't have room in their brains to consider what is in their neighbor's hearts and minds.
