I love the effort....they diffidently get your attention!

i think there are smarter ways to get points across.

what a bunch of idiots. if a ever see another peta rally i will @#$$$ their asses. i have had dogs all my life. don't you ever compare the kkk to a dog competition. that is the most offensive thing i have seen for some time. how out of touch can these people be!

so? what's the problem with breeds? or breeding making breeds? or wanting particular traits in any animal? I don't see the problem here... these guys are just nut bags who are fighting a stupid pointless fight. like creationists...

come on, I'm all for protecting any and all beings from excessive suffering. and sure I don't like factory farms and cruelty in general, but this is dumb... they take it too far. breeding is NO DIFFERENT FROM EVOLUTION... also having a pet dog it NOT slavery.

"Their goal, according to a post on the PETA website, was to draw a parallel between the KKK and the American Kennel Club."

that's hilarious, because my first thought was to link PETA to the KKK.

Oh dear. That's ridiculously poor taste. I appreciate wanting to get a point across but I absolutely refuse that there can be any comparison between the KKK and the fucking kennel club.

hey let them do what they like, if they offend someone they might get punched in the face for dressing to extreme, so let it be, let them take responsibility !

It does spark attention. But it is a very sore point.They should have stuck with getting naked.

People Eating Tasty Animals is just about like the KKK. Morons both. The costume is appropriate. I wonder where they were during deer season. Perhaps I should invite them over for some deer roast. The tenderloin is very good for breakfast.

idiots.

only TWO? That pair was lucky they weren't harmed given the offensive imagery and the location.

What a way to make a fool of yourself and your organization.

I think people are missing the point. No matter what should you use a horrible mistake of history as a demonstration as if it was nothing.
Dressing as KKK is insulting humanity and people who had suffered the lynching. I don't care if it's for "comparison" (more of a shock value, I believe) but it's completely inhumane.
You wouldn't dress up like a KKK to protest a fucking dog show! Sooner or later, they will dress up as Nazis, and "compare" the fucking dog show with WWII.

great post awesome josh!

a clear winner by the amount of conversation generated.

It would seem the knee jerk reaction is something like "PETA sucks, blah, blah, blah". What is funny is that many seem to be under the impression that PETA made some sort of mistake; that PETA did not expect or desire the outrage and distress.

On the contrary, PETA calculated their actions precisely to generate the distress and outrage.

Judging by the outcry, the stunt was a huge success, generating a great deal of free publicity. It is no accident PETA is so successful at raising money.

I am glad PETA is around, pushing the envelope and practicing the venerable American tradition of protest. A little street theater is good for the soul.

I do regret that the issues around the genetic health of dogs was not further explored. This is an underreported and misunderstood crisis. Many breeders of pure bred dogs are guilty of perpetuating and exacerbating genetic defects in order to turn a profit.
The world of show dog breeding has been and continues to be an ugly and disheartening example of animal abuse and cruelty. Yes, the dogs in the ring are pampered and spoiled, but in creating that one show dog many other dogs are rejected. Some of these are sold as pets. Others, those deemed unfit or unsafe to be pets, are sold to bunchers for medical experiments or simply euthanized.

i mean... i didnt want them to get shot.. but there are lots of crazy people out there...

i'm surprised those people didnt get shot

A photo is worth a thousand words............how appropriate for these native terrorist.

Not because now that we have an African-descendant president and all of the sudden KKK is humorous and acceptable

sorry for my rant back on topic

Peta are retards

Nephwrack read your history the Ku Klux Klan was established after the civil war by southern democrats who refused to accept Reconstruction and to obay the new laws to allows black freedom so they Etablished the "invisable empire" and terrorized and killed free black man and woman, murdered children and white Republicans. if you were for the equalization of all men and women the Klan Saw you as a threat!.

they were nothing more but Drunk,small minded drunks and still are today.
and the Klan still votes Democrat

because republicans are still considered "nigger loving scum who ruined white society"

So you drink the kool-aid you liberal socalist jim jones lovers so much enjoy

peta folks have gone too far with this one ...

Clearly, PETA needs less flare, more brains. The KKK comparison is out of context. Better leadership is needed.
Another illogical approach to make a statement by world famous PETA.

plus shows how dumb peta is
First off KKK don't believe in a "Master race" they're just a bunch of Drunk Democrats running around in bed sheets.

and eugenics have been around FOREVER with out it many animals might have died due to climate change, shift vegitation etc etc

Eugenics ALSO does cause problems like German sheperds with hip displacment or retrivers with bad backs because of the bottle necking that comes with it

so it has it's pros and cons

I said it once, and I'll keep saying it till the people in that organization do something respectable: Fuck P.E.T.A.

pure breeds are real and true facts, and facts are stubborn things. PETA is a dysfunctional group of douche bags who don't value human life properly. PETA needs to read on how we as people got to where we are as a civilization.

geez people lighten up.

it's not really a big deal

PETA is a white supremacist organization. Please let some other color run it so that it doesn't give us a bad rap anymore. Animals are less than human, whats the debate about?

I love my German Sheppard.

They aren't even trying to persuade people, just ridiculous publicity stunts.

Wow, if the New Yorkers would have clubbed them clowns with baseball bats, they could have made it about killing the seals.

That is absolutely disgusting. I'm surprised nobody beat the shit out of them. PETA, shame on you.

totally inappropriate

I wonder if they tried to hand fliers out to black people?

I love PETA. And I gladly give my money to them.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

This is too much already. These dogs have a great fucking life! I didn't want to be a hater but PETA has to chill!

Wow, these organizations are getting crazy. This is about as bad as forcing vegetarianism on homeless and poor people. It's sad when a life choice becomes a religion.

Way to offend...eat a steak!

I'm a PETA member. You're disgust with their attention drawing ads just reveals your naivety. Please realize that their stunts are to draw your web clicks to their reasoned and effective website, www.peta.org. Why not check it out this very moment!

What's next for PETA's outragiousness...bombing the private homes of government funded researchers because they are using mice to discover newer antibiotics that can kill the current resistant strains of bacteria found in hospitals? They have a right to protest, but the "shock and awe" mentality of this organization has crossed the line many times in their history.

People Eating Tasty Animals!!!...Ever wonder WHY You never see PETA members throwing paint on those wearing LEATHER outside Biker Bars?...(self preservation)
By the way, anyone who actually WATCHED the Westminster Dog Show on Television the last 2 nights can testify that about HALF the paid sponsership advertising was for SUPPORTING Local animal shelters, by ADOPTING stray/homeless pets...& They mentioned the grateful loyalty & love of MIXED-BREED Dogs! (mutts) Most of the Dogs I've been blessed with as companions in My life have been Mixed Breeds, some with known bloodline ancestory(German Shepherd/Chow, Black Lab/Rottweiler, Chihuahua/Dascshund, etc. ), some just MUTTS without a clue to origins, & They've ALL been GREAT!
At this point in My life, I have Pure-bred Daschunds & breed them, HOME Raised, with only 3-4 Adult dogs at a time, who spend as much time indoors, loose, as they do running free in My fenced yard, depending on the weather....I daresay I probably treat My Hounds better than most of these PETA jerks do their own offspring or significant others, since the Dogs are carnivores, & I'm an Omnivore with serious carniverous leanings, so they get lots of "Dad Food" as treats...(Medium Rare Steak, cheese nibbles, scrmbled eggs), whereas the PETA freaks REQUIRE that everyone around them force themselves into biologically abnormal eating habits! Any Vegans who disagree?...I DON'T CARE!!! THHHHH(razzberry)

I'm a vegetarian, I personally hate when people automatically assume i'm a crazy PETA person. I have my own views of how I should treat animals that doesn't mean that I think everyone should believe then same things. I don't shove my views down people's throats like PETA. Blame PETA, not vegetarians and vegans.

There just going to keep doing ridiculous crap like this as long as they can keep people talking about them. If you want to fix the problem then just completely ignore everything PETA does from this point on and let them die off.

P.S.
Congratulations PETA on being the Ann Coulter of the vegan world

Everyone agrees they are crazy, yet they are voted up and they are on top. They are getting their message across. PETA no doubt considers this a victory.

Im sorry, but this takes things too far. Its completely insensitive to an entire population of people. I understand their point about breeding for a superior animal, but, to be so insensitive to HUMANS goes well beyond the message they were trying to convey.

PETA is slowly losing my support and that is just sad.

these motherfuckers have lost it.

until the kennel club starts lynching people from trees and burning crosses in the front yards of people who don't own pure bread dogs i don't think Peta has any grounds for dressing up as the KKK. As a black woman I'm offended, there's no comparison to the two organizations PETA should be ashamed of themselves. They're just dogs.. the whole PETA organization needs to take a step back an look at how they've become a joke to most of the population

PETA is an embarrassment to all of us who love animals.

What is wrong with pure breed dogs? What is wrong with knowing a bloodline or history of a dogs family? what is wrong with NOT breeding dogs that have illness or disorder that will have to be pawned off to anyone that is stupid enough to say yes to you? People breeding dogs that no one wants is the problem, not dogs that are WELL trained, groomed and breed. I worked at the SPCA for years and let me tell you that very few 'Pure breed" dogs are apart of our adopt problem. It is stupid people like this who are the problem!

abbym0308, My thoughts exactly. I've got to say they need to go after puppy mills. The people in these shows treat there dogs with utmost respect, the dogs getthe best medical and hygiene treatment and they live with the people that care for them..... If they don't treat the animals well they'll be booted out.
Puppy mills are the bad guys; and the dog fight breeders.

LOL!!! Well those people spend millions of dollars on those dogs, only to parade them around like slaves. Submissive and trained to obey all dictates in order to be perfect to win a prize for their dominate master. Seems a little sick to me anyways, but the KKK things is a little overboard.

Why dont they just dress up as Hospital patients. That is so stupid

P = Pathetic
E = Evil
T = Terrorist
A = Association

well if I had any respect left for PETA its gone now.

What hilarious is that the Westminster Dog Show and all the events surrounding it raise a ton of money for charity... most of which are animal shelter and rescue non profits. So PETA is in effect trying to take money away from animal rescue shelters. Yet again it seems like they arent looking before they leap.

Also I really doubt that dog shows are ruining the gene pool on dogs since there are far more mutts than purebreds in the world. Personally I would rather have an adorable little Corgi mutt mix than a purebred...but I have no problems with the purebreds themselves.

PETA is a terrible, self-righteous (as bandit said), HYPOCRITICAL organization. They disgust me. They try to impose their radical beliefs tooooo aggressively. Watch the 'Penn & Teller: Bullshit' episode on PETA if you don't understand what I mean.
