An update on the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

U.S. readers might be interested in the following info I received this morning from the Center for Consumer Freedom about the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). For those who are unaware, PETA's activities extend beyond "animal rights" campaigning to include rabid lobbying against the consumption of anythin but vegan diets and giving financial aid to green terrorist groups:

"On April 1, "Penn & Teller: Bulls--t" will begin its second season with a devastating and hilarious 30-minute expose of the animal-rights movement, focusing on People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The Center for Consumer Freedom is featured prominently in this groundbreaking show, which is part of a cable television series that "debunks popular shams and scams."

Get ready to see the real PETA, warts and all. It's a show you'll want to tape and share with your friends and neighbors who think animal-rights activism is a warm and fuzzy hobby. This might be the only kind of publicity PETA's self-styled "press sluts" would prefer to avoid, and the group's radical zealots may wish this were just an April Fool's joke. But it's not.

The Showtime cable network will air "Penn & Teller: Bulls--t" at 10pm (all time zones) on April 1. If you miss the first airing, it will be repeated on April 8 at 10:30 pm."

The Center forConsumer Freedom is also petitioning to have PETA's tax-exempt status revoked. To sign the petition, which now has nearly 29,000 signatures, visit:
