My point, since it apparently is not clear, is that PETA has constructed an entire website devoted to the indoctrination of children into their extremist world view.
At first I thought, as many no doubt did, that the subject of this thread was a joke. In fact, I joined in by posting what I felt was a humorous depiction of sea kittens as cat food. This is called ironic juxtaposition.
The post referring to "faux news" peaked my interest sufficiently to google the topic. I found that it is no joke. The site is clearly targeted to children with cute characters and topics, including HTML story books with a heavy dose of anthropomorphism. If this site had been constructed by a corporate group to sell a product, the media would have been all over it. Since it just "educates" children on the horrors of the holocaust of animal abuse, it is all right.
It is rather odd, yet all too commonplace, that people feel perfectly free to throw bombs at institutions like fox news, who at least attempt to tell both sides of most stories, and then become infuriated when it is pointed out that their accusations bear no merit.
