The pictures
The ironic part is, as a satirical treatment--for adult consumption only--it almost works. I could see something like this in National Lampoon during its heyday. Other than the content being psychotic, of course.
It's handing it deliberately to kids at a Christmas show that sucks, and is yet another link of evidence showing where PETA's mind is really at: contempt for humanity more than a love for animals. No truly empathetic person could do such a thing.
For the benefit of those who haven't seen Page 2, I can at least reproduce the dialog (emphasis theirs):
Do you have a puppy you take for walks or play ball with? Or a kitty who likes to chase string? Everyone knows that it’s fun to love and play with our animal friends. But how would you feel if someone took away your
kitty or puppy, stomped on their head, and ripped their skin off their bodies?
It would make you feel sad, wouldn't it? Why would anyone be so mean? But there are terrible people who cause our furry friends to die that way every day. And guess what? One of those terrible people is your mommy. Your mommy kills animals! I bet you didn't know that.
Lots of wonderful foxes, raccoons, and other animals are kept by mean farmers who squish them into cages so small that they can hardly move. They never get to play or swim or have fun. All they can do is cry—just so your greedy mommy can have that fur coat to show off in when she walks the streets.
In the forest, nasty men in boots catch animals with traps that have metal claws that snap shut on animals’ legs. Ouch! Some animals bite off their own paws to get away! Mommy foxes do this because they want to get back to their babies to feed them, but they usually die anyway and their babies slowly starve to death, scared and all alone. Trapped animals who don’t escape from the traps get stomped to death by the nasty men. Ask your mommy how many dead animals she killed to make her fur clothes. Then tell her that you know she paid men to hurt and kill the animals. Everyone knows. And the sooner she stops wearing fur, the sooner the animals will be safe. Until then, keep your doggie or kitty friends away from mommy—she’s an animal killer!
Tim Blair comments on it here, and gives us both a look at Page 1, and advice on how a rabbit should really be skinned.
