[B]People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), no stranger to attention-grabbing campaigns featuring nude women, plans to launch a pornography website in the name of animal rights.[/B]

The non-profit organisation, whose controversial campaigns draw criticism from women's rights groups, said it hopes to raise awareness of veganism through a mix of pornography and graphic footage of animal suffering.

"We're hoping to reach a whole new audience of people, some of whom will be shocked by graphic images that maybe they didn't anticipate seeing when they went to the PETA triple-X site," said Lindsay Rajt, PETA's associate director of campaigns.

PETA has been accused of campaigning for animal rights at the cost of exploiting women. A Facebook group, Real Women Against PETA, was launched after the organisation paid for a billboard showing an obese woman with the message: "Save the Whales. Lose the Blubber. Go Vegetarian."

Another critical Facebook group is called, "Vegans (and Vegetarians) Against PETA."

"PETA is extremely disingenuous," said Jennifer Pozner, executive director of the New York-based advocacy group Women In Media & News. "They have consistently used active sexism as their marketing strategy to garner attention. Their use of sexism has gotten more extreme and more degrading.

"This may be in their minds the only thing left at their disposal to lower the bar," she said.
PETA has filed paperwork to launch its pornography site when the controversial new. xxx domain becomes active in early December. While many non-profit and corporations are scrambling to protect their website names from being hijacked by a pornographer slapping on a. xxx domain, PETA is embracing the new domain as just another way to conduct business.
"We try to use every outlet that we can to speak up for animals," Rajt said. "We anticipated that this new triple-X domain name would be a hot topic and we immediately decided to use it and take advantage of it to try to promote the animal rights message."
Jill Dolan, director of the program in gender and sexuality studies at Princeton University, was critical of the PETA campaigns.
"Exploiting porn to get people's juices going seems lame; exploiting pornographic images only of women to make their point is retrograde and misogynist," Dolan said in an email. "Come on, PETA. Don't be Neanderthals."
Rajt denied that PETA has been insensitive to women.
"Our demonstrators, the models, all chose to participate in our campaigns ... It's not a very feminist thing to do to turn to women and tell them whether or not they can use their voices, their bodies to express their voice."
Visitors to the X-rated site will initially be presented with pornographic content as well as images from PETA's salacious ads and campaigns, Rajt said. Those images will be followed by pictures and video shot undercover of the mistreatment of animals. The site will also include links to vegetarian and vegan – using no animal products – starter kits as well as recipes.
PETA's ad campaigns have featured adult film stars Sasha Grey, Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jameson. In 2008, the organisation's YouTube account was temporarily shut down after showing videos of celebrities and others posing nude.
"When people first visit the site, it will be very enticing and once they go just a little bit deeper, that's when they'll be confronted with images that we hope will make them stop and think and get them talking and hopefully encourage them to make a lifestyle change to a plant-based diet," Rajt said.

Isn't this the one that flashes dead animals? Man they sure know how to turn me on

[zerothefallen]

I swear I've read this before, is this late?

[JustGman]

Someone walks in on you fapping.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Supporting animal rights."

[MajorMattem]

I hate PETA. Everything they do is so fucking stupid. Maybe if they tone it down abit and stick to the really bad stuff, like battery hens or somthing like that. Trying to stop the destruction of the amazon rainforest? global warming?

[Arvuti]

Give me some good porn PETA and then i'll turn vegan. Ofcourse I don't usually keep my promises.

[killerteacup]

Be doing it like they do it on the discovery channel.

[thisispain]

why do they treat animals better than they treat women?

They're making a porn site, but [I]it's not for humans![/I]
Since [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1125659]Rusty[/url] has little to no chance of surviving and reproducing in the wild, they've made a porn site so that animals like him can get off and donate their sperm!
Sadly, [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1126078]there isn't much demand for ginger sperm.[/url] On the other hand, that's just for the human market. Maybe Rusty will have a higher chance with PETA's other project, where they collect vast vats of animal sperm.

Okay I feel dirty for making that joke now.
It doesn't help that I'm thinking of that 'Pony Thread Simulator 2.0' video now.

If they're flashing pictures of blood-coated dying animals while you're watching porn, won't that have some sort of psychological effect that relates abused animals to sexual arousal?

[Zenpod]

Didn't Bill Bailey get Approached by PETA
*shudder*

There were some animal rights activists on my campus a few days ago handing out (quite forcefully) these pamphlets about animals being abused on farms.

They forced one into my hands when I walked by, to which I responded, "Oh, is this a menu?"

The look on the guy's face made my day.

It's like the clockwork orange, only really really fucked up.
You'd think of dead animals when watching porn, and get boners when you see dead animals, because it'll remind you of porn!

[Roof]

Oh god who's the person who said when they were just announcing the .xxx domain "peta.xxx"

That's why you let a falcon grab them once they're stuck in the trap so they don't stick around for a few days.

I just use mouse traps. Those things are quick and painless, most of the time anyway.

[Ganerumo]

PETA is retarded. Sure saving animals is a good idea but they don't want to absolutely save lives, they want to make sure if an animal has to die, he must not suffer (or at least must not look like he's suffering, hello psychological pain).

That's probably the shittiest argument ever, it's like saying hunters are bad because they kill birds, so we'd better be off exterminating every birds before them so they won't have anything to shoot.
