First, a disclaimer. I never liked the organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Instead of protesting real problems of animal cruelty and abuse, the organization is too often concerned with individual animals. If red foxes need to be culled to protect the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse, PETA will spring to the defense of the red foxes, even though they imperil a species.
Today’s Morning Call contains a front page article about PETA’s protest of the animals on Animal Cracker boxes being shown behind bars. In response, the company has changed the boxes to allow the animals to roam free. Instead of fighting actual cruelty, PETA is going after logos.
While we are on this, was Tony the Tiger abused in order to make him say “Grrrrreat!”?
