Reply #55: Penn & Teller's Bullshit! - Season Two, Episode One [View All]

[evilkumquat]

The producers of Bullshit! did an excellent expose on PeTA, showing just where their dollars go while showing just how hypocritical this organization is.

Among the more telling points:

PeTA provided direct financial support to a convicted arsonist who was too gutless to appear for the cameras.
PeTA personally euthanizes hundreds of animals each year while simultaneously protesting in front of governmental organizations that do the same thing (i.e., humane shelters).
PeTA clearly states they are against absolutely ALL animal testing, while at the same time having a second-in-command who uses diabetic medication derived as a direct result of such testing. When presented with the inherent hypocrisy, the PeTA official said she needed to keep HER life in order to fight for the rights of animals.
