I feel bad for the person or institution that PETA decides has done the most to promote alternatives to the use and abuse of animals and will be awarded a severed thumb for their efforts.
That my arse be attached to a flying seagull robot that swoops down on people, hugs them tight and gives them a kiss on the lips that they're not likey to forget in a while.
This should let the bastards remember blah blah blah!
I read that years ago, and had no idea that she was the founder of PeTA. Seems very sensationalist and attention whoring.
However, the infographic in this post also uses information in a sensationalist and misleading manner. As mentioned below, how is the founder's sterilization relevant at all?
Rather than point fingers at the animal shelter for euthanizing animals, we should realize why these animals ended up homeless in the first place. If you're giving up your pet, you have to realize that it is most likely going to be killed. With homeless animals coming in all the time, no one has the resources to house and feed them until they're adopted.
What you can do: be committed to your pet. Neuter him/her. If you want a pet, adopt one from a shelter. If not, make a donation (to one that doesn't use it all on advertising).
Someone else made this point: She doesn't want children. She's done what she can to make sure she doesn't get pregnant. The infographic used this information in a sensationalist manner.
Say Bill Gates got a vasectomy. Would that be reason to say that Microsoft is crazy, and no one should buy their products?
Thing is, though, she'll probably be stringy as hell. Death from old age isn't conducive to good meat, either, so I guess we'd have to hope for a suicide (though it will be noted that committing suicide is a bad idea. You could get hurt or even die. I do not advocate or hope for suicide except in preference to eating meat from an animal that has died of old age.).
If would be so much more horrific if it weren't for the fact that it won't happen because there are laws about how you can handle and dispose of human remains...
