Speaking of PETA

Bitch on Wheels blog post by Debbie Rasmussen, August 12, 2008 - 1:42pm; tagged animal rights, offensive advertising, peta, WTF?.

H/T to Vegans of Color...

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals plans today to announce an unusual marketing pitch to the U.S. government: Rent us space on the fence for billboards warning illegal border crossers there is more to fear than the Border Patrol.

The billboards, in English and Spanish, would offer the caution: "If the Border Patrol Doesn't Get You, the Chicken and Burgers Will — Go Vegan."
