We Are Not Worthy!
Bow down, ye mortals, before the awesome power that is the PETA public relations department!
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals knows how to grab attention. And show off its laundry.The animal rights group, which every year stages a protest at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, had two of its members dress in Ku Klux Klan garb outside Madison Square Garden on Monday.
Their goal, according to a post on the PETA website, was to draw a parallel between the KKK and the American Kennel Club. "Obviously it's an uncomfortable comparison," PETA spokesman Michael McGraw told the Associated Press.
But the AKC is trying to create a "master race" when it comes to pure-bred dogs, he added. "It's a very apt comparison."
The group passed out brochures implying the Klan and AKC have the goal of "pure bloodlines" in common.
And the result? Stupid hippies dressed as klansmen!
I met a traveller from a meat-free land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of soy
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, some shatter'd sea-kittens lie, whose frown
And wrinkled lips and fins of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those vegan passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these free-range things,
The hand that mink'd them and the heart that veggie-fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Petamandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Carnivores, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level Kentucky-fried cruelty stretchs far away.
