Message of the Day – A Cap

November 21, 2012 By: Cal Skinner Category: Message of the Day, PETA, Vegrtatian

With most of the country waiting for turkey dinner tomorrow on Thanksgiving, it seems appropriate to show you this PETA cap I found someone wearing in Disney World.

This is a cap mocking PETA. Above and below the acronym of the animal rights group are the words, “People Eating Tasty Animals.”

PETA Reaction to Sea World Death Backfires in This Family

February 26, 2010 By: Cal Skinner Category: Dawn Brancheau, Killer Whale, People for the Ethical Treatment of Aniimals, PETA, Sea World

During Thanksgiving vacation, our family went to Disney World. I convinced them to go to Sea World for the first time in a long time.

Nose Bleed section at Sea World.

We saw the killer whale show almost at the top of the stadium. In the nose bleed section.

The Splash Zone at Sea World.

Needless to say, we didn’t have to worry about being in the splash zone.

Is that Dawn Brancheau direcing the whale to splash the people?

As you can image, I was clicking away.

Dawn Brancheau nose to nose with a killer whale.

And I got some photos of Dawn Brancheau, one of the human stars of the show.

My 12-year old had heard of the young woman’s death, probably on the news before I got up. On the way home from school yesterday, he commented bitterly about PETA.

I asked him what the People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals had said, because I had heard nothing.

He said it was something about it being cruel to keep a killer whale in a bathtub.

The combination of the death of someone he had seen perform and PETA’s comments elicited an angry reaction toward PETA.

Just at the age when PETA tries to hook kids on their philosophy.

I wonder if the “in your face” organization realizes the animosity their intrusion into the tragedy and resulting sadness elicited.

Somehow I don’t think my son will be one of PETA’s fans…ever.

Maybe he was a lost cause anyway, because he can’t wait to go hunting with his cousins.
