NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is planning to launch a pornographic website to promote its animal rights and vegan diet message, a move that critics say will backfire and ostracize them from mainstream society.

Rajt says the site will feature "tantalizing" videos and photographs, which will lead viewers into animal rights messages. She noted that Norfolk-based PETA has used porn stars and nudity to get its message across in the past, including an annual speech online in which a PETA representative undresses. That video later shares a message about slaughterhouses.
She says a pornographic site will allow PETA to reach a broader audience and that publicity about the site is just as important.

"I think the bottom line is we live a in a 24-hour news cycle where over the years we've found our racier actions are kind of a fast track way to get people to stand up and pay attention about the plight of animals," she said.
Rajt says November is the earliest that PETA could receive approval for the site. Critics say that by resorting to pornography, PETA is alienating itself from a large swath of the population that might otherwise be sympathetic to its cause.

"I just don't want to understand why they want to offend people who would potentially support at least part of their cause. There have got to be other ways to draw attention to their cause," said Robert Peters, general counsel for the New York-based anti-pornography group Morality in Media.

"Metaphorically speaking, they're getting in bed with hard core
pornographers to prevent cruelty to animals. That borders on insanity."
Rajt said PETA officials would track the website to determine if people are viewing the animal rights messages and not just the nudity. Past experience has shown that they will, she said.

J. Justin Wilson, senior research analyst for the food-industry backed Center for Consumer Freedom, said moves like this by PETA make them increasingly irrelevant in mainstream society.

"They don't seem to be changing the debate anymore, I think in large part because people are writing them off as whack jobs," he said from Washington. "This is one more example of them being their own worst enemy. If they're trying to win the hearts and minds of people considering being vegetarians, this is probably the wrong way to do it."

:eek::eek:

But hey, you never know, it might actually work...

[Bath]

I heard about this, it's so silly. But I'm not against it :P

[anonymous53]

Well, it'll get most men to at least listen to their message. :P

[ShatteredWings]

well that's creative...

[User Deleted]

Umm, interesting? That's certainly unique.

[SosbanFach]

Umm, interesting? That's certainly unique.

Indeed. You've got to hand it to them for originality.

[Dimitri]

Yes, they are being very origional, I have no problem with this.

[huginnmuninn]

sex sells and if you can use sex to promote an idea then hell ill watch the damn porn just to support their cause.

[Sugaree]

I hope there's no fur.

[Triste]

At least people might pay attention to them now...

[Sogeking]

Lol this just made laugh. I think the last thing people want is propaganda smuggled in their pornography. I can already see people exploiting this to push their agenda on people

[mbishop94479]

To do list: test PETA porn

How can porn send an ethical animal message? "Oh, baby. It's so big and thick. Don't go hitting the dog with it. You'd hurt it. Stick it in me, instead." 0.o

Lol.

I wonder if anyone will get turned off of porn, after associating skinned and mangled animals with it.

[vegangurl03]

im a vegan and support peta and, yeah, this is weird. but hey, if its gonna possibly bring support to peta, why not try it?? needs as much support as it can get :)

[Skyhawk]

Lol.

That would make millions of pornographers struggle to survive, yay!

PETA is getting racy!

[SinisterMystery]

Well as long as it's not beastiality... There's no harm in trying it.

[RoseyCadaver]

Hey you go to support the pussies,and save the cocks ;o.

No seriously as an animal rights person this doesn't help our cause at all.
Porn=/=Animals rights promoter

[Blind]

wtf? I dont even.... :confused:

[mbishop94479]

Hey you go to support the pussies,and save the cocks ;o

I never thought about it like that before. But only cats and chickens?

[UnknownError]

I wonder if it'll be furry?

[Aragorn]

How is porn supposed to help?

[Tango]

This just proves everyone involved in PETA is crazy as well as anyone who supports them.

[Brighter.Tomorrow]

Tango, PETA helped get several Child Protection laws put in place.
PETA tends to go a little far, but they're really useful to get laws in place...But I can name about 4sites right off hand of free porn that doesn't involve animal abuse. I see more harm then good coming from this...

[Tango]

PETA also has a 86% kill rate in their own shelters. PETA also lights cars on fire with dogs inside. PETA has told me to put my dog down because she would be happier.

PETA definitely does more harm then good and I will never support them or anything they do.

Like I said, they go a bit to far. But: they're excellent for getting laws in place and points across.

Tyger has a point here. Even though they have been known to go too far, PETA has been a key support group for many child protection laws. However, I think they're trying to reach out of their realm here, like they have before. It'll fail more than likely and will disappear without a whimper.

[Peace God]

I hope it features David Cross.

rF3vY-xayo8

Sexy as fuck.

[Maxxie]

Definitely wouldn't mind. PETA's put out some pretty good stuff in the past.

[WokeUpThisMorning]

Why do I think this is a really good idea?

[Commander Thor]

Why do I think this is a really good idea?

Because you're a horny 16 year old, who thinks any porn is a good idea? ;)

[Jupiter]

this is a great idea. I don't even like porn, but lots of people do.

[disassociation2016]

Okay. Thinking outside of the box is great in some ways, but this isn't a good way to promote ideas!

I hope this is a joke. So... let me guess how this went down with the board of directors of PETA.

1: "We es losen teh $z!1!!"
3: "We n33d sum ideas, mayne?!!1"
2: "Porn."
1, 3: "PORN?!"

Then this.
Really, honestly? This is probably PETA's worst move - I am actually a supporter of PETA but I can't believe they have taken this route. This might actually be one of their best moves... I guess we'll see... Still stunned, haha.

[Spi_vey]

Well that will get men to pay more attention than those sad puppy commercials.

Damn those commercials I can't watch them anymore I just change the channel.
