Animal activist attacks on American retailers increased 377 % in 2008.

According to the Animal Agriculture Alliance 640 acts of sabotage, vandalism, and arson occurred in 2008 against businesses that use animals. Groups involved in the attacks included the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF).

Peta the pressure group has supplied funding to the ELF in the past.

The ELF was classified as America's top domestic terror threat by the FBI in 2001

Thats true i also heard she wear real fur, but i sincerely hope that by her taking part with PETA in this campaign that it will open her eyes up to cruelty to animals on the fur farm too, people need to start somewhere, maybe it will be the last time she wears real fur?

The point of the ad was to get people's attention. If you haven't heard by now, sex sells and Dita was backing an issue that she very much supports. I know spaeying and neutering is an important issue, but can you find a better way for it to get people's attention now a days?

I am a fan of Dita and a strong supporter of PETA but am disappointed in both for sexualizing such a crucial issue. The one problem I've had with Dita is that she is known to wear fur and has multiple published photos with dead animals - bear and lion rugs for example. Perhaps she respects "pets" but not all animals.

i dont understand this ad by Peta. it promotes sexuality by the visual content. Everyone knows that images are very powerful and i dont see any clear message about Animal birth control. the ABC book she holds is pointless because noone is looking at that.
