I saw this ad the other day, and it really shocked me, as I'm sure it did many other people. It really surprised me that an organization like PETA would go to this extreme. It seems like they could do so much without having to go to this. The fact that they used a cross in front of a naked model can be very offesnive to Christians who see the cross as a symbol of forgiveness, hope, and redemption. Whenever i think of PETA now, I'm going to automatically have a bad feeling towards them. Obviously this was a risk they were willing to take, but I think here the risk outweighs the benefit greatly. Catholic league president Bill Donohue calls PETA a "fraud" and says "The fact is that cats and dogs are a lot safer in pet stores than they are in the hands of PETA employees." If this ad gets a reaction like that from anyone, it is definitely irresponsible.
