Thoughts on PITA

I've just read an article on PITA and it's unhappy meals. These are mcnugget boxes with cut up rubber chicken parts and blood in. Oh can't leave out the freaky looking Ronald McDonald that's wheeling a knife and looks like he belongs in a slasher film. To an adult or even older child these unhappy meals my be fascinating or even fun. To the young crowd that typically gets the happy meal they are likely to be horrifying. I can't imagine my six year old Hailey being handed one of these and not crying. She would probably have nightmares to boot. Sure some little kids might think nothing of it or be able to blow off the words the twisted protesters are saying as they hand these out but not most. Sure my older kids would likely be asking them for extras to go home and have fun with. My older kids aren't their target when handing these twisted little packages out though, my little ones are.

This is just one more example of why I despise PITA. There desire to protect animals from cruel treatment is great. I'm pretty sure where they and I draw the line on cruel is different though. The fact that they use near terrorist tactics to achieve their goals and believe everybody should give up animal products or be subject to their bizarre, intrusive, and often counter productive behaviors shows me that protection of animals is probably not their main goal after all. I can't believe that any group would really believe that scaring little children by giving boxes of fake bloody chicken parts to them would actually do there message any good. It simply makes them look like a group of freaks hell bent on being twisted.
