5/02/01: PETA Week!

This week, Quote Of The Day salutes PETA co-founder and president Ingrid Newkirk, who apparently gave a lengthy interview to Salon without actually listening to anything she was saying. Time to set the animal rights movement back another five years. Ready?

"It's very, very hard to penetrate the news. And we have this enormous obligation. You mention some people tuning out because they just think our approach is cheap; if we didn't do this, no one would hear us. If we didn't use these natural links, and they are to us natural links, no one would hear us. So our obligation is clear. "

- Newkirk, explaining PETA's tactics and why they feel they have a clear obligation to get a mass murdere on their side.
