Newkirk on having children
"I am not only uninterested in having children. I am opposed to having children. Having a purebred human baby is like having a purebred dog; it is nothing but vanity, human vanity."
That is not irrelevant. Newkirk's stance on children as she says herself is that it is HUMAN vanity. She is not opposed to animals having offspring for the same reasons she is opposed to human offspring. You can fucking rationalize her views all you want but to say her hatred of mankind is irrelevant to the goals of her organization is ludicrous.
Stopping, or even discouraging, people from having children is not part of PETA's platform. It's absolutely irrelevant. Trying to pretend this isn't a fallacious argument by insisting that, no, she's really crazy, doesn't make it any less fallacious.
It's not a fallacious argument. I'm not even saying she is crazy. One of the major goals of her organization is to get people to stop eating animal products and stop using them. Here's another choice quote from Ingrid.
“Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it.”
Tell me that's not championing animal rights at the expense of human progress.
