Newkirk Steamed over Fried Fish

Sometimes I wonder about the animal rights movement if they’re are still sane. Of course it also could be, and that is more likely, that PETA is just a media whore. These people will do whatever it takes to stay in the press. Here is another example of this fact. It’s laughable how low Ingrid Newkirk will stoop to get media attention, but then again, what do you expect from a middle aged person that has been arrested several times in the past years for running in her birthday suit in the streets of inner cities.

PETA President Ingrid Newkirk is steamed about a fundraising slogan for an anti-capital punishment campaign that reads, “Fry Fish, Not People.”

There was probably smoke coming out of Newkirk’s ears when she heard the slogan that Alaskans Against the Death Penalty are using to raise money. Her organization sent a letter to the anti-death penalty group asking that it adopt a new motto - “Fry Onions, Not People.”

PETA’s letter said, “Serving the corpses of animals at an anti-death penalty event is like serving cigarettes at an anti-cancer fundraiser.” It went on to demand that the group also change its menu for an annual fish fry, urging them to serve vegetarian dishes.
