Well coming when it is, as leo mentioned, it looks like a thinly veiled attempt to yet again attack the people of the middle east, just like with the burka thing in France.
And it just plain seems hypocrtical to me, for peta to go after these people and get legal backing for it, when hunting and industrialized animal production and sluaghter is still going on.
I dont mean PEta themselves being the hypocrits, so much as the politicians. Though I do meet a lot of individual hypocritcs who support Peta. (Wearing leather while handing out their fliers)
Are they going after people who practice the sacrifce of chickens as part of their religion? Like in the caribiean?
Are they stopping different kinds of pagan and Wiccan sects from the exact same kind of blood letting rituals?
Who's next? Do we stop the Masai from drinking the blood of their cows?
