PETA Gets to Your Kids

Radical animal-rights activists may be the last people you'd think would be planning school lessons for your children. Well, think again.

Kids who hurt animals may be on a dangerous path that will only get worse if it is not corrected. Psychiatrists, FBI profilers and law enforcement officials have repeatedly documented that kids who abuse animals rarely stop there," TeachKind warns.

Its fact sheet, entitled "Animal Abuse and Human Abuse: Partners in Crime," points out that "violent acts toward animals have long been recognized as indicators of a dangerous psychopathy that does not confine itself to animals," and goes on to detail how many notorious school shooters, including Columbine's Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, were known to mutilate animals prior to their attacks on humans.

You know what? Those madcap senators and soccer moms ranting and raving against GTA make much more fucking sense in a relative way.

While there's no question that the small number of children who torture animals are quite disturbed and that all children should be taught how wrong such behavior is, it's quite another matter for PETA to capitalize on this issue as an opportunity to indoctrinate children with PETA's own radical, catch-all definition of what constitutes "animal cruelty." And that's precisely what PETA is doing through TeachKind.

As its Web site prominently touts the animal cruelty-psychopathy connection with quotes from FBI criminalists and others, a closer inspection reveals that the bulk of TeachKind's educational efforts are actually crafted so as to make children believe that everyday behaviors, such as eating a diet that contains meat or animal products, are unmistakably, unequivocally acts of animal cruelty.

I can accept that the rank and file member of PETA are zealots and mindless zombies. They get bullshitted into this whole business of anti meat extremism like someone who is lost and would accept any dark gods that came along. But lets face it, the upper echelon of PETA couldn't be all raving psychos out to destroy all meat eaters and turn the world into some pseudo Disney craptastic world with singing and dancing animals. There must be a corporate agenda to it, there must be. So, what is it? Tofu foodstuff taking over the world?
