PETA Sucks

They are holding a "Win a Vasectomy Contest" "In Honor of National Infertility Awareness Week."

Insensitive much?

To top it off, one of the girls on the TTTC board called to complain and got a pre-recorded message basically telling her to adopt.

    PETA can suck it.  Maybe we should invite them to fish on my hubby's boat for the day? ; )

    I don't understand how they can equate people with animals. How is that anywhere near the same thing?!?

    It makes zero sense. I'm all for spaying and neutering animals. Wanna have a vasectomy contest to promote that? Fine. But how the fark does making someone infertile honor infertility awareness??? It's like saying, "Win a breast reduction in honor of breast cancer awareness!" And the bit about how people are overpopulating the earth really chaps my ass.

    Ugh PETA is nuts and now completely insensitive. Though I consider myself an animal advocate, I don't support them. They are way too ridiculous. I always donate money to local shelters instead of them.
