The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) knows that most educated people will ultimately reject their radical agenda of eliminating any and all use of animals by people. For example, PETA’s odious “Holocaust on Your Plate Campaign” explicitly connected eating meat with participating in the Holocaust. The key point to understanding the difference between animal rights/liberation and animal welfare, is that animal welfarists acknowledge that people may use animals for human benefit, while PETA and their ilk believe that doing so is morally equivalent to killing 6 million Jews. Literally. Understand that, and that intense misanthropy is the heart and soul of animal rights/liberation, and you can see why there is an increasing level of violence and intimidation on “behalf of the animals.”
PETA knows that most adults will shun such thinking. But children have less wisdom and ability to distinguish facts from propaganda. Hence, it focuses quite a bit on recruiting children to the animal rights/liberation cause: As this story illustrates.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
