<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>While I think that making that Holocaust/meat-eating comparison is somewhat disanalogous and rather wrongheaded (as PETA's decisions most always are), I still dislike the fact that the article seems to imply that there is such an enormous ethical disparity between the intentional, needless slaughter of millions of humans and the intentional, needless slaughter of millions of animals that to even think of comparing the two events is an insult to the victims of the Holocaust - as though there isn't anything at all wrong with the latter.

Of course, I suppose such a reaction is to be expected from PETA's idiotic shock-tactics. PETA's members seem to be living under the delusion that going completely overboard and freaking people out is an effective strategy for gathering support for your cause - when in reality, they're doing more harm than good.</div>

I remember a post like this before but I can't remember what I said about it. I don't ever attempt to compare anything to the Holocaust though as a general rule...
