We’ve been spending a lot of time discussing the deceptive Humane Society of the United States<\/a> recently. But there’s plenty of other news of note about HSUS’s philosophical ally in the animal rights industry: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals<\/a> (PETA).<\/span><\/p>\n

This week, PETA gave "Avatar" director James Cameron<\/a> its “Outstanding Feature Film” award for having a message of animal empathy in his film. The news comes just days after Cameron told Entertainment Weekly<\/i> that “I believe in ecoterrorism<\/a>.” Now, we could give PETA the benefit of the doubt. But then again, NBA star Gilbert Arenas recently starred in a PETA anti-fur ad<\/a>—coincidentally, a few days after he was arrested for brandishing four firearms in his team’s locker room.<\/span><\/p>\n

PETA sure knows how to pick ‘em. (And if you think it should just stick to its bread-and-butter of scantily clad women, well, it’s already taking care of that<\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

But PETA antics often drown out more important threats—such as appointed officials with PETA-inspired agendas. Today in Esquire,<\/i> Harvard law professor Noah Feldman writes that Cass Sunstein, <\/span>the White House regulatory “czar,” is “on everyone’s short lists”<\/a> for a nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court should a vacancy arise. Sunstein, as we’ve exposed, has a history of animal rights radicalism<\/a>, and believes that animals should be allowed to sue and that hunting should be banned <\/span>outright.<\/p>\n

So PETA is very tight with eco-terror cheerleaders and NBA thugs. It sure would be nice if they spent half as much energy playing with pets instead of killing them<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
