and was surprised at how interactive the site was. They have a very frequently updated blog as well as a forum where members can discuss food, fashion, as well as ways to get involved and active in supporting the ethnic treatment of animals. The getting active portion of the forum really reminded me of Zeke and all of his protesting. The internet is so advanced now that, not only are people going out and protesting or gaining support, but people are protesting directly through the internet. Sending emails and creating online petitions are all ways that these people are standing up for what they believe in. I think that it is great that now the internet is not only a place where they can meet and discuss their beliefs but also a place where they can protest and make a difference.

Wow the article about PETA sending the “Katcha Bug” to Obama is hilarious. I mean, I do understand their focus and how they believe every animal has a right the live…including flies, and even it is their job to recognize these acts. And while I commend them on their effort, I still think it’s kind of ludicrous. I do agree with what youre saying about the website. I was surprised at the level of interactivity within this site. While I do not completely agree, I definitely commend them on their intensity and think its great all of these people are taking advantage of the vast opportunities to take action on something they feel so strongly for.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong. I think PETA does a great job promoting their cause. They're masters at online political manipulation (and I say that with great respect). However, their Obama drama is waaaaay too over the top. If PETA cares about all living things -- including insects -- then they should promote head lice, cockroaches, bed bugs, termites, and dust mites.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see their promotional campaign "Save The Head Lice!"
