PETA To Launch Pornography Website 348
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are planning on launching an adult oriented website to help protect animals through a mix of animal suffering footage and porn. I'm not sure how mixing the two will win hearts, minds, or naughty bits, but Lindsay Rajt, PETA's associate director of campaigns, seems to think it's a good idea. She says, "We're hoping to reach a whole new audience of people, some of whom will be shocked by graphic images that maybe they didn't anticipate seeing when they went to the PETA triple-X site."
Hustler did this (Score:5, Informative)
In the 80s, when we were teens sneaking copies of Hustler away from older brothers or swapping with neighbors I remember seeing several issues with both porn and horrible war footage.
Flynt was not afraid to publish articles showing exactly what kind of destruction the US was, or had been, wreaking overseas. And he showed the cost it had on the soldiers as well.
The nudity and sex were not the obscenity. The murder of civilians and the treatment of those who had signed up to serve the country was the real obscenity.

Yes to both questions, but I am dutch, maybe we have less hangups about it.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with playing in a porno or even in a theatre production.
I would not watch the porn with them in it though.

I had to look into it, because it seemed to be a bit of a stretch, even for PETA. But damned if you weren't correct about that. Here's one of the links for folks interested. http://www.abolitionistapproach.com/eight-animals/ [abolitionistapproach.com]

Their leder takes insalin derived from canines, while saying that no animals should be used for medical research.
They haven't derived "insalin" from Canines in ages. I'm sure their "leder" is using the modern brands of insulin.
