In the past week 14-year old Logan Ward attempted to
raise money for a summer trip to Europe.
After a family friend donated a cow from his farm, Logan began a raffle
with the grand prize being the cow. The
winner of the raffle could either take possession of the living cow, or receive
hundreds of pounds of beef.
That
was when PETA got involved. How did they
respond? By sending hateful emails to Ward, including one with an interesting
alternative fundraising idea. The idea,
presented by a PETA street team coordinator, was for Ward to hold a veggie dog
sale, hosted by PETA’s “Lettuce Ladies.”
Not only did PETA suggest this idea – they provided a link to their
website with half naked women dressed in lettuce doing inappropriate behaviors. Can I remind you this boy is only 14-years
old?
As expected, his parents were not impressed. PETA’s attempt at mending the situation was
by sending the family a gift basket.
However, that has not stopped the mass amounts of hate mail Ward has
received from PETA supporters.
As a future veterinarian, nothing is more important
to me than the well-being of animals.
That being said, I have absolutely no problem enjoying a nice steak
every now and then… and maybe a cheeseburger… or two. I understand everyone is entitled to their
own beliefs, but when it comes to PETA and other extremists – how far is too
far?
Where should the line be drawn
between “protecting” animals and harassing children?
