The thing is, I actually agree that animals used for food should be treated more humanely. I love meat, but I'm opposed to cruelty to animals, even those I'm just going to eat. So what I'm saying is--I'm in a demographic that SHOULD be at least a little bit receptive to PETA's message.
But I'm not--and tasteless stuff like this is the reason. This is why PETA has such a negative reputation--because they pull crap like this that just alienates everyone except for the most intransigent ideologues. Talk about an organization that needs to rethink its public relations strategy.
