PETA Uses Kids as Pawns

I think we can all agree that exploiting children to get ahead is pretty low-down and dirty. I figure only the most conniving, manipulative organizations would be willing to target children with propaganda in an effort to create a whole generation of like-minded individuals. 

Would you be surprised to find out that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has been targeting children with animal rights propaganda for more than a decade? I didn’t think so.

Additionally, and this is probably the most sickening, is the blatant use of children as props for their shocking campaigns. The runny icing on this burnt cake is that psychologists and school officials have denounced PETA’s actions as “despicable,” “traumatizing,” “beyond insensitive,” and “an absolute atrocity.” Does that stop PETA from exploiting children? Not at all. You may recall, I have blogged about their atrocious actions in the past and they appear to have no remorse.

Picture this – you’re an average height adult viewing an ad on the side of a bus. All appears normal until your five-year old starts crying saying that the images on the bus are scary. You can’t imagine why your child is upset, until you lean down to his/her point of view and find that the imaging on the bus at a child’s height level is violent, graphic images of animal abuse. Not cool, PETA. Not freaking cool.

I’m not a parent and I’m furious that PETA is doing this to kids. I can’t imagine how parents of children who have encountered this propaganda may feel.
