C'mon, really PETA?

PETA is constantly one-upping themselves with new levels of crazy. But they've really been on a roll lately.

According to an NBC article they plan to purchase the San Diego Sea World. Why, you might ask?

To free all the animals, or course, replacing them with virtual reality and animatronic displays. Fabulous idea. I'm sure that will work out brilliantly. I'm not sure what a Sea World ticket costs these days, but I am sure that people are not going to pay that price to see holograms and Chuck E Cheese style animals.

And for the record, it would only cost about $110 million to buy the park.

However, their newest, shiniest idea has to be their latest demands on Ben & Jerry's, urging them to replace the cow's milk in their ice cream with human breast milk. Really? I mean....REALLY!?














I have three things to say about this:

1. Gross

2. Gross

3. Since pumping human breast milk is a labor-intensive, long and slow process, how does this make ANY economic sense. How could Ben & Jerry's afford to pay all those milk-pumping women?

Their letter to Ben & Jerry's discusses their "innovative" idea.

Ben & Jerry's response to this plea was, "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child." In other words, "You've got to be kidding me, you tree-hungging, dolphin-saving, tofu-eating phychos".

In conclusion, I know I can rest easy knowing that PETA is there to save the animals and...the world.
