Just How ETHICAL Did You Say?
“Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it.”
— PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk, in the September 1989 issue of Vogue
Remember those words as you read the following from PETAs Blog;
After I posted a recent interview featuring PETA President Ingrid Newkirk, a lot of people have been asking how she ended up with a cast on her arm. When I asked her how it happened, she told me she’d broken it while disciplining her assistant, Starza, but—difficult as Starza can doubtless be sometimes—I suspect that the truth isn’t quite so dramatic. The closest I could get to full disclosure was an article that came across my desk a few days later that’s slated for the next issue of PETA’s quarterly magazine Animal Times. It’s a great little piece, so here it is for anyone who’s curious about how Ingrid ended up with that cast. Warning: this is a classic bait and switch—she’s going to turn the tables on you and make you think about, like, animal suffering—but as I say, it’s a great little piece. "Just as I was setting out to launch my new book, Let’s Have a Dog Party!, I met a wet floor and went splat, neatly snapping the bones in my wrist. Ooh, the pain! Thank goodness for IV drips. Lying on the emergency room gurney. . .
Just in case any of that changes, you can view a screen shot of that little snippet located here.
Ingrid Newkirk is not the only one who can not walk the talk.
PETAs Vice President Mary Beth Sweetland is an insulin-diabetic, injecting herself daily is another hypocrite. Adding to this list of 'I talky but I no walky' is the 'blonde bimbo', PETA spoke person and hepatits-C carrier Pamela Anderson and then there is the breast cancer survivor Simon Chaitowitz of the Animal Rights Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
All three women owe their lives to animal tested research.
Oh then there is PINK who is at odds because she supports PETA but wears leather . . .
. . . Go figure!
What do you expect, the reason anything was found in animal research was because that's all they do is test on animals.
ReplyDeleteWhat about all the new diseases they have created with animals and humans?
Do your homework, you won't be that impressed with animal research.
For the record, I do not belong to Peta.
Thanks for your comment 'anonymous' without doubt there is of course an ugly side to everything however I am pleased animal research exists despite the ugly. Clearly if it were not for animal research Ingrid would suffer unbearable pain, Mary Beth would die of diabetes... and so it goes on.
