[h/t: Michelle Malkin] On my Blogroll I have PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) placed firmly in the “Fever Swamp”. After yesterday’s little outing in New Haven, Conn., the Fever Swamp probably wants them to move somewhere else.

A two-hour animal rights demonstration on the Green Monday sparked outrage instead of sympathy from the public.
(…)
PETA wants people to stop eating animals, stop using them for clothing, stop forcing animals to entertain people (as in a circus) and stop animal experimentation.

Carr said she doesn’t want animals sold or treated as property either.

The controversial display, which is on a national tour, is intended to drive home PETA’s point.

However, critics said the organization’s demonstration backfired.

One man demanded that the NAACP get involved immediately. Five minutes later, Scot X. Esdaile, president of the state and Greater New Haven chapters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, arrived at the scene, surveyed the photos and blasted the organizers.

“Once again, black people are being pimped. You used us. You have used us enough,” Esdaile said. “Take it down immediately.”

“I am a black man! I can’t compare the suffering of these black human beings to the suffering of this cow,” said Michael Perkins, 47, of New Haven. He stood in front of a photo of butchered livestock hung next to the photo of two lynched black men dangling before a white mob.

“You can’t compare me to a freaking cow,” shouted John Darryl Thompson, 46, of New Haven, inches from Carr’s face. “We don’t care about PETA. You are playing a dangerous game.”

Paul Tomaselli, 46, of North Branford took exception to an exhibit that included a photo of a black man being beaten to the ground by a white man with a stick while a white mob gathers.

Next to that photo was one of a man chasing a seal across the snow with a club.

“I think he’s right,” said Tomaselli, who is white, in support of Thompson. “To compare people to animals is an unfairness to people.” [Emph. mine]

PETA people are obsessed, deranged, dangerous “religious” fanatics. The worshiping of animals as species equal to or superior to human beings is the foundation of their beliefs. PETA is proof of the ol’ adage that “if you don’t believe in something, then you’ll believe in anything!”
