PETA Protests Fish Fry Fundraiser

Newkirk Steamed over Fried Fish
July 27, 2007 (Alaska)





PETA President Ingrid Newkirk is steamed about a fundraising slogan for an anti-capital punishment campaign that reads, “Fry Fish, Not People.”
There was probably smoke coming out of Newkirk’s ears when she heard the slogan that Alaskans Against the Death Penalty are using to raise money. Her organization sent a letter to the anti-death penalty group asking that it adopt a new motto - “Fry Onions, Not People.”
PETA’s letter said, “Serving the corpses of animals at an anti-death penalty event is like serving cigarettes at an anti-cancer fundraiser.” It went on to demand that the group also change its menu for an annual fish fry, urging them to serve vegetarian dishes.

“Serving the corpses of animals at an anti-death penalty event is like serving cigarettes at an anti-cancer fundraiser.”

Dear Ingrid:

Fish are not people, and trying to equate the two on a very serious issue like capital punishment will only help your organization to lose more creditability...which it's already in very short supply of.

Some people value animal life as much a human life and are willing to fund an organization to air their views.

All this talk about fried fish corpses is making me kinda hungry, a I haven't had a good cigar for a while either.

And, she insulted their intelligence - - - - didn't she just suggest those folks were too ignorant to know that was a bogus analogy? Don

wow..she probably would have flipped when they were serving up the Bundy Burgers down in FL.

PETA is completely hiprocitical. How can anyone take them seriously if they kill thousands of animals per year and house a vice-president who treats her type 2 diabetes with the same medicine that was discovered through lethal testing on dogs. This organization angers me more than anything.

You can't lose what you don't have to begin with.

Going to go fry up some catfish in a few hours! People Eating Tasty Animals, I'm all for that!

Well good for her, for defending the fish....God knows the sport and commercial fishing communities down here in the NW are doing a darn poor
job of it. Good on PETA!!!
