PETA Tour Compares Slavery With Animal Use
The animal rights organization recently completed the first leg of its "Animal Liberation" tour. The campaign includes a 12-panel display that depicts controversial images of the social injustices black people faced during slavery and throughout the civil rights movement alongside animal use photos.
The PETA campaign shows images of black people in shackles juxtaposed with chained elephants, and a black civil rights protestor being beaten at a lunch counter beside a photo of a seal hunt. The group even went so far as to show a graphic photo of a lynch mob surrounding two black bodies that were hanged in a tree next to a picture of a cow hanging in a slaughterhouse.
According to an Associated Press report, John White, a spokesman for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, takes umbrage to the campaign. Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project with the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama, called the exhibit "disgusting."
PETA claims that the project is on hold while the feedback is evaluated.
"PETA feeds off of the controversy generated by these types of offensive campaigns," said U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance President Bud Pidgeon. "The group apologized earlier this year for a campaign that compared the suffering of Jews during the Holocaust with animals in agriculture, and hopefully the same will come of this."
