I would NEVER criticize a legitimate animal rights organization because animals are my passion, but PETA doesn't give a shit about animals, they do just enough to make themselves look sincere, but for the most part, they are toxic.
And I'm sorry - but sex appeal and animal abuse should not be together in the same universe much less used together in their advertising. Most of their advertising offends the masses and when they pull shit like that in the OP, they look like a bunch of crack pots.
