It’s been a while since we’ve written much about People for the “Ethical Treatment” of Animals (PETA), generally because the animal-rights group hasturned into a circus sideshow. But today’s breaking news is too good to pass up. PETA’s lettuce-bikini activism is about to go online—only this time, sans garnish.
That’s right—the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which sets the rules for Internet domain names, has agreed to start taking “.xxx” website applications. And PETA has announced that it wants to register PETA.xxx as a pornography site that “draws attention to the plight of animals.”
We’ll abstain from making any of the many puns that come to mind, and we’re betting Americans still won’t “go veg” despite the latest upped-ante, attention-grabbing stunt from PETA. But we will point out the irony of PETA, which claims to oppose animal exploitation, dabbing its foot into an industry in which all too often people are exploited.
Few media ploys better highlight the priorities of the animal rights ideology. As PETA co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has put it, humans are “the biggest blight on the face of the earth” and have “grown like a cancer.” So, really, lowest-common-denominator tactics don’t matter to PETA, as long as they only affectpeople.
What will PETA think of next? Apparently we can cross “making obligate carnivores stop eating meat” off the list, as well as “hypocritically killing thousands of animals a year.” Sometimes the best thing to do is give your opponent more rope…
Peta is now building a Porn site… THey must be banned from any contact with children … just like any other Sexual Pervert. WE can not allow them any contact or any access to our kids. Call your Congressmen. Please … go to your district attorney and and show them PETA is invoved with PORN and demand they not be allowed to have contact with them through their Childrens programs… THey are gaining access so that they can introduce them to their PORN… Walk up everyone.
HERE IS THE RUETERS STORY:
People… stop giving to PETA… Give to your locaL BREED RESCUE OR NO KILL SHELTERS. Do you want your children to go to Porn sites to learn what PETA’s real agenda is?

Reuters REPORTS: that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) plans to launch a pornography website in the name of animal rights.
PETA, known for its controversial campaigns, said it “hopes to raise awareness of veganism through a mix of pornography and graphic footage of animal suffering.” The Reuters article noted that PETA has been “accused of campaigning for animal rights at the cost of exploiting women.”
In any case, Lindsay Rajt, PETA’s associate director of campaigns, said, “We’re hoping to reach a whole new audience of people, some of whom will be shocked by graphic images that maybe they didn’t anticipate seeing when they went to the PETA triple-X site.”
The report revealed that PETA has filed paperwork to launch its pornography site when the controversial new .xxx domain becomes active in early December. “We anticipated that this new triple-X domain name would be a hot topic and we immediately decided to use it and take advantage of it to try to promote the animal rights message,” said Rajt.
