IMO, PETA is out of control...
Re: IMO, PETA is out of control...
The ad is strong. The message should be disseminated, though. I respect that they are willing to try. The truth is ugly and people need to be aware of the ramifications of their actions.
Bubba the Love Sponge castrated and slit the throat of a pig live on air. Clear Channel Communications did nothing until people started to complain and stopped listening to the station. With actions like that in mind, PETA's tactics are mild.
I think the message is a valid one. IMO, not enough people consider rescue/shelters as their first option. Their constant "shock value" kind of messages even make me, an animal lover, immune to them. They're so crazy and over the top, that most people just dismiss them as a bunch of loonies and don't listen to the message.
OTOH, the Sarah McLachlan commercial for the ASPCA is one of the most effective adoption commercials I've seen in a long, long time. That will have a far more positive effect on adoptions than the PETA one ever will.

While I agree that you should always concider a shelter animal before a bought animal, I think this comercial is way over the top. Peta is just making a reputation for themselves a crazy nut jobs, not really as animal lovers.
There was a situation a few years ago in Boston during Nutcracker season. Peta was outside the theatre giving notes to all the children who's parents we wearing fur or leather. The notes said "Your Mommy and Daddy kill kittens." That's just uncalled for.
