I wish I could say that I could not believe my eyes: Craig Wilson of USA Today interviewed PETA biggie Dan Matthews, and did not ask one substantial question. What about PETA’s refusal to condemn violence in the name of animal liberation? Not asked. Are Matthews and PETA at all concerned about the tremendous harm that would be caused to humans if PETA got its way and we could not have any domesticated animals. Wilson probably never even considered the issue. What about the concept of animal/human moral equality promoted by PETA? Huh? Rather, we get the most unbelievably insipid, shallow, and vapid questions such as:
Q: Why did you decide to dress in a bunny costume for the book jacket of your memoir?I would expect better of 8th Graders putting out a class paper as a class project. Sickening.Q: Your press material calls PETA “one of the most enduring, powerful and annoying pressure groups in the world.” I suspect you like the world annoying.
Q: What’s the most memorable arrest?
Q: Where do you get the moxie to jump on Rose Parade floats and infiltrate corporate cafeterias to get your point across about animal cruelty?
Q: I understand Jennifer Lopez and Anna Wintour of Vogue are not fans. What’s up with them?
Q: So, you dress up as a bunny, a priest and a carrot, yet you don’t know how to tie a tie?
