Animal Rights Extremism (page119)

The usual gang of idiots at PETA is having a cow over the World Bank's agricultural loan programs that support cattle raising in developing nations. Two of them were arrested after unloading a dump truck of manure onto Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the World Bank building. GCN's webcam caught the event live. Stay tuned to GCN as the main demonstrations heat up throughout the weekend, leading up to Monday's showdown demonstration.

Cow-clad zealots from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) promise to dump a "smelly deposit" by the World Bank because they object to bank policies that support animal agricultural development in Third World countries. As the Daily Oklahoman said in an anti-PETA editorial a few days ago: "PETA just keeps tripping over itself…[T]he length to which it goes to promote vegetarianism trivializes concerns" for animals and humans.

One of the most cherished memories for many children in the nation's capital is the yearly "Easter-Egg Roll" on the White House lawn.

A new study from the University of California Irvine College of Medicine dispels any link between breast cancer and the consumption of well-done meats. "No matter how the food was prepared -- blackened, barbecued, grilled or pan-fried -- red meat didn't increase the risk and white meat actually seemed to offer protection against breast cancer," said Dr. Ralph Delfino, who co-led the research team.

On the heels of their controversial "Got beer?" campaign, PETA has produced an anti-dairy parody of the milk-carton campaign to find missing children. Their contemptible new campus ads feature a "missing" veal calf on a carton of milk, in a pitch that unjustly disses both meat and dairy consumption.

Eco-terrorists at the Animal Liberation Front have confessed to a rash of arsons, including the firebombing of a meat plant, in the San Francisco Bay area in recent months. The Foundation for Biomedical Research quotes ALF spokesperson David Barbarash as saying, "Whoever these ALF activists are, they're doing a damn fine job of inflicting economic damages to these companies, and they should be rewarded for their courage and bravery!"
