PETA’s recent promotional for sterilization of pets attempts to get the message out to viewers that not sterilizing your pets is likened to encouraging your teenage daughter to have sex constantly and with anyone and everyone, and if they get pregnant, so what. Abandon the baby. (See ad and story at the link below)

This message is not only in the poorest taste, it’s a ridiculous comparison. Why pour financial resources into such trash, when they could be using it to educate pet owners and offer to pay completely for sterilization for those who can’t afford it. Often people jump into getting a pet without considering the financial aspect of owning one, and as a result, they put off sterilization.

Here’s a thought. Instead of trying to get their name in the media through harassment of people like the jockey, the trainer and the owner of Eight Bells that died in the Kentucky Derby this year, or protesting the treatment of chickens by throwing fake blood on high profile individuals, try actually putting finances toward something that will make a difference.
