PETA Stage Crucifixion At Cathedral On Good Friday
Posted on April 14, 2006
Via WND we learn the latest from the moonbats at PETA.
The edgy animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals stirred controversy in Vienna on Good Friday with a protest to symbolically “crucify” three activists wearing animal masks outside the city’s famous Catholic cathedral.
The blood-smeared activists each carried a cross as nearby protesters in the square outside St. Stephen’s Cathedral held signs with messages such as “We suffer and die for your sins of nourishment.”
Bruce Friedrich, spokesman for PETA in the U.S., told WorldNetDaily causing offense was not the goal, but if there are any objections they should be about suffering animals, not “street theater.”
“Words and images aren’t offensive to God,” he said. “What is offensive to God is the satanic treatment of God’s creature by factory farms and slaughterhouses.”
PETA said it wanted to capture the attention of consumers who ignored the suffering of animals, but the local parliamentary representative condemned the protest.
A spokeswoman for Ursula Stenzel of the conservative People’s Party called it a “mockery of a religious community on one of the most important days of the Christians.”
“The action would be more blasphemy than animal protection,” said Angelika Mayrhofer-Battlogg, according to the South African news service News24.com.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna, News24 reported, called the action a “completely unacceptable falsification of the religious dimension of Good Friday.”
The statement said that while PETA may have good intentions, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was not suited “to transport secondary messages.”
Read all about the moonbattery. I’m headed out to have a nice, bloody steak. One quick question…do these people realize what idiots they look like?

Funny thing is, Catholics don’t eat meat on Fridays. Fish yes, meat no. That means Chicken, Beef, Pork, Lamb, Goat, Turkey, etc…
So why did they choose Good Friday for this protest? To pervert the image of the crucifixion and only to pervert that image.
I think I’ll go to the farm across from my house and punt a few chickens.
While I’m here, can someone explain the etymology of the word “moonbat”? I’ve seen it all over the ‘Net. It’s pretty obvious what it means to those who use it, but I can’t figure out where it came from.
I think it would have been a perfect time to march along side them with demonstration signs that read something like:
“PETA’s New Plan For Animals: First PETA Tried Slitting Animal’s Throats And Disposing of Them In Garbage Dumpsters. Now, PETA Wants a Slow, Agonizing Death For Animals On A Cross, and Then Dispose of Their Carcasses In Garbage Dumpsters!”
Exposing the hypocrisy of these loons is what needs to happen every single time they make a public statement.
Good observation Gribbit. Catholics don’t eat meat on Friday. The irony is that this group of idiots failed to take that into account. So, I guess in a way their attempt at blasphemy kind of back fired in their faces.
And they say God works in mysterious ways.
Captain Rational,
If you really want to know what a moonbat is, (that is after you are finished abusing your neighbor’s barnyard animals, and assuming you don’t get shot for it)point your Internet Browser here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonbat
An enlightened liberal can be a good thing.
I’m having a lot of trouble understanding what eating meat has to do with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. But what do I know? I’m just a member of the vast right wing consipracy who has no compassion for my fellow man, I said we should send all those mexicans right back home. Then build an electric fence around the border. That should keep them from crossing. (the fence should also go at least 20 feet under ground, but we can’t let that be known.)
Shana
The idioticy behind this astounds me. What does The Cross have to do with the ethical treatment of animals? What statement were these guys making, other than the need to reduce them all to soilent green?
I had chicken for dinner, and to think I almost opted for salad! lol
I wonder why the evil Christians didn’t riot or kill anyone over this? Oh, sorry, that’s the wrong religion.
There used to be a time that Christianity was respected, even if you didn’t believe. Even the other religions and their leaders used to respect Christianity. But now you can put a crucifix in a jar of piss, call it art and get a U.S. govt grant for it.
But if you even utter anything negative about Mohammad or Allah you have a bounty on your head.
The difference? I believe that Christians have stopped and discouraged fighting for what they believe in and Islam allows the opposite. This will only cause the demise of Christianity and the intolerant religion of Islam will rule.
I honestly believe, that not too long ago, Christians around the world were respected a great deal, because they would stand up and fight for what they believed in. Then the atheists of the free world (like the ACLU) started chipping away at the religious freedoms, mainly targeting Christians, as the evil religion.
And with the anti-God/pro-suicide bombers media on their side, it looks like we’re headed for an anti-Christian/pro-Islam world, if we’re not already there.
