PETA wants hunter hanged

Makes Statement0 Comments

PETA releases a statement about the killing of Cecil the lion. Newkirk:

Hunting is a coward’s pastime. If, as has been reported, this dentist and his guides lured Cecil out of the park with food so as to shoot him on private property, because shooting him in the park would have been illegal, he needs to be extradited, charged, and, preferably, hanged.  To get a thrill at the cost of a life, this man gunned down a beloved lion, Cecil with a high-powered weapon. All wild animals are beloved by their own mates and infants, but to hunters like this overblown, over-privileged little man, who lack empathy, understanding, and respect for living creatures, they are merely targets to kill, decapitate, and hang up on a wall as a trophy. The photograph of this dentist, smiling over the corpse of another animal, who, like Cecil, wanted only to be left in peace, will disgust every caring soul in the world.

Nude PETA ad

09Williams poses nude for PETA ad, against fur.

PETA has really done something profound. They have proven that there is a sexy way to suggest to people, to rethink the fur. And I like it. I’m down. I would rather go naked that wear fur, it’s very sexy. As a former fur wearer you know I must say that I have not really given fur any thought for a good seven years.
