Do you think it is right to torture animals? I would assume most people's answer to this question would be no. PETA's answer to this question would be definitely not, they are the largest animal rights organization in the world. In the article, "PETA: How the Messenger Kills the Message", the main question Hannah Crisan is asking is if PETA extreme stunts counteract the message they are trying to convey to their audience. PETA is all about trying to prevent animal cruelty, but their ways of going about trying to convince people to join their views are not the most persuasive. PETA does rediculous things such as throwing blood on celebrities if they are wearing fur which completely crosses the line. Their ideas just go too extreme for most people to respect. For example their superbowl commercial that never got aired tried to promote being a vegitarian rather than eating meat, but it was an innapropriate commercial that had a lot of sexual references and most people would have probably gotten offended by it. Another completely rediculous and disrespectful act PETA did was by putting the headstone near Colonel Sander's grave. PETA has it out for KFC because they think they mistreat their chickens, but like KFC points out they do not own any chicken farms and they get them from the same place other fast food places get their chicken so if they are being mistreated it is and issue they should bring up with the supplier. What they did was still completely out of line and showed such disrespect with messing with someone's grave site. Most people would be disgusted by this act, not convinced to support them. PETA should reconsider their methods of persuasion because by continuing stunts like this they are only making themselves look worse and seem less credible to the public. Wednesday, February 10, 2010
