When does PETA go too far?

PETA is a joke.

And it's sad that the American people and animal lovers alike are either too stupid or gullible to realize such a truth. First, PETA ganged up on Michael Vick with the ferociousness of a lynch mob along with help from our trusty media and had him villianized like a psychopath and a criminal in the public eye during the now infamous dogfighting scandal. And now they've decided to focus their attention on the president of the United States Barack Obama for killing a fly on national television during a live interview. My question is where's the same level of outrage from PETA regarding Tyler Weinman, an 18-year-old white boy in South Florida who's accused of killing and mutilating 19 cats? Where were the picket signs and angry protests from PETA nut jobs outside the Miami Dade Police Department demanding justice for those poor mutilated felines and Weinman's head on a stick when he was taken into custody by the police?

PETA is a nothing more than a front for a racist and extremist organization. And it truly makes me sick to my stomach to write anything about them. The question we all should be asking is how much of Vick's millions did PETA pocket for themselves through threats of intimidation and blackmail, and how much of those millions were actually donated to a worthy animal cause? Something smells fishy and I'm not talking about PETA spokesperson slash porn star Jenna Jamison who has a leather fetish and was fishing with her boyfriend Ultimate Fighting Champion Tito Ortiz in the Caribbean. Of all the people in the entertainment industry why does PETA continue to have celebrities such as Jenna Jamison, Pamela Anderson and a slew of other screwed up celebrities with questionable backgrounds be the spokesperson for animal rights? It just doesn't make any sense for PETA to call Vick a psychopath and demand he undergoes counseling when Jamison and Anderson who are both "professional whores" with a history of drug addiction are the spokeswomen for their organization.

It's just plain insanity.

And now that PETA has decided to attack the president over the fly swatting incident, this could be a perfect opportunity for the Obama administration to investigate the animal rights organization and have their financial records subpoenaed to find out exactly where Vick's millions went, because it's certainly not going to the care and treatment of abused and neglected animals. However, PETA deserves some credit for their honesty and revealing its true colors
