THESE ARE THE PEOPLE PETA IS MOVING TO LOS ANGELES

CDOC has stayed out of the bashing of organizations that promote MSN because we don't want to get distracted from our goal of education and finding solutions.  But this very latest offering from PETA, timed for the Holiday Season, requires a comment.

If you have not seen the ad with the naked model who uses a cross to cover the strategic parts of her body, here it is.   There is also an interview with Catholic League President Bill Donahue and the PETA VP of Marketing Lisa Lange.  According to PETA, truly religious people from all over are calling and thanking them for these photos.    She says that sex is good (evidently except for animals) and these and the other ads with naked celebrities are beautiful.  

CNN Commentator Mike Galanos says he finds the ads offensive, as does the Catholic League.  Interestingly, Catholic League President Bill Donahue seems to be up to date on PETA activities and calls attention to the fact that they kill 90% of the animals in the care and do not operate a single shelter.  At no time does Lange dispute that kill rate;  she simply keeps telling the anchor that the ads are lovely. 

You can see the video here.  .  

And PETA has picked California and specifically Los Angeles, as a new headquarters to bring us more of the same.  

The PETA statement about moving their people to Los Angeles said "PETA will transfer about 40 employees - a quarter of its staff - from its Norfolk headquarters next summer to capitalize on the bright lights and big names of Los Angeles.  The organization will move its campaigns, youth and online marketing divisions to Los Angeles, said Tracy Reiman, PETA's executive vice president.These departments conceive of and carry out those eye- and headline-catching, envelope-pushing and just plain quirky actions that have helped put animal rights on the map.  She said PETA is expanding that office, she said, to be closer "to the city that defines popular culture and cultivates big personalities and bigger ideas. We can have a big impact on the small screen and the larger screen."

If you are fortunate enough to have a legislator who is more concerned with the welfare of their constituents than access to money, movie stars and playboy bunnies, you might forward this blog.  PETA is the only national organization linked with Judie Mancuso and the legislation like AB1634 and SB 250.  One of the reasons a housewife from Laguna Niguel who had no actual organization and has not proposed a single positive suggestion can direct those big contributions is that she has a link to the money and bodies of these folks. 

Maybe your legislator will agree with PETA that this is a sexy, appropriate and beautiful ad.  Or maybe they will agree with Donahue that 

"PETA is a fraud. It also has a long and disgraceful record of exploiting Christian and Jewish themes to hawk its ugly services. Those who support this organization sorely need a reality check. They also need a course in Ethics 101."
