PETA Insults The BBW Community

A recent billboard campaign lauched in Jacksonville, FL by PETA depicts a plus size woman in a bikini with the slogan Save The Whales written in large letters and in smaller red print is written Lose The Blubber. Go Vegetarian. Yes folks this is not a joke. Here is a link to one of the articles I read on this particular billboard.

In PETA's press release regarding this campaign they state

"A new PETA billboard campaign that was just launched in Jacksonville reminds people who are struggling to lose weight — and who want to have enough energy to chase a beach ball — that going vegetarian can be an effective way to shed those extra pounds that keep them from looking good in a bikini."

Are they actually serious. Do they really believe that insulting someone struggling with their weight issues is an effective motivator. Do they honestly belive that insulting people that are potential supports (big people like animals too) is an effective way of promoting their cause.

PETA is famous for campaigns that insult various groups in their efforts to fight for animal rights. They cater to the lowest of the low in an effort to get their point across. Well the only point being made with this campaign in my opinion is PETA has no love for the plus size community. What do you think. I sit here with my chicken wrap awaiting your opinion.
