PETA craziness

I like animals, and I think they should be treated better than they are at them moment. But, I think PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is way crazy and should not be taken seriously by anyone but themselves. And they do take themselves seriously btw. So, their latest idea is so insane I thought it was a joke at first, but oh no, it is not. You got to read it to believe it….
