In reply to Perv Dogs Support Nude Angel, From PETA
PETA does stupid stunts like this I believe to make themselves look ineffectual and ridiculous while they pour the considerable monies that celebrities donate to them into legislation aimed at eliminating pet ownership. Laws that they have helped sponsor are chipping away at our ability to breed pets, show pets including those involved in performance activities and ultimately to even own them.

Adoption is good. Adoption is GREAT. Rescue is good. Rescue is GREAT. But animals in shelters come from irresponsible breeding and breeding for profit to fit trends such as so-called designer breeds, not from responsible breeders who maintain and advance lines of breeds from antiquity to modern times. Pure bred dogs do have genetic problems, but those problems are also widespread in the mixed breed population. Responsible breeders through breed organizations sponsor and participate in genetic studies to determine how to reduce or eliminate these genetic flaws in their stock.

PETA and HSUS don't. Because it doesn't fit their goals of no pets for anyone eventually.

End of usual anti-PETA, anti-HSUS rant.

I've always thought it was really weird that pets don't notice nudity.

Like, if I didn't understand how clothing is manufactured, etc., I would be really freaked out by someone suddenly having different colored/textured skin...

@tehcutie: There's a new book, written by a Columbia professor, called Inside of a Dog (yes, it uses the Groucho Marx quotation as an epigraph) that elaborates on some of the differences in dog and human worldviews. I don't remember if she mentions that explicitly, but that might give you a sense of at least canine criteria.

@Lysergic Asset: Okay, anthropomorphism is the sub-topic?

One LOL (use to be `little old ladies') is lamenting to another such her Sheena is pregnant again. "And we never ever let her out of the house, and we watch her constantly when she cycles in, and here she is, kittens due any day now..."

And then an obviously adequate tom saunters into the room from the kitchen, and the visitor says, "Well, that may be a suspect."

And the LOL scoffs. "Oh, don't be silly; that's her brother!"

--Every older woman is not a grandmother. Why are women still being defined in terms of biological capacities that they may not have used?

-- "Old person"? Looks like old women are the only ones being made fun of in that ad.

--On the news today I heard that something called a "Grandma's Law" had been passed. It's an anti-violence measure. Like old men aren't victims of crime?

Apparently, sexism ends only at death.

Having experience in these matters, watching this sophomoric attempt at an ad only makes me wonder about
the takes they shot that didn't make the cut because they were in poor taste. The one where octogenarian heroine's pink tongue swirls around the tip of the creamy shaft of her cone, dribbling foamy spumescence onto her ample granny-bags, while the froth leaves a teasing trail as it heads south to her...

Well, you get my point.

Good thing I got out before it affected me, huh?
