SAN DIEGO -- An animal-rights campaign comparing the suffering of livestock to that of Holocaust victims is drawing sharp criticism from a leading Jewish group for "trivializing" the mass murder of Jews.

"The Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, debuted this week in California and will make a national tour.

The display is a set of eight 6-foot-by-10-foot panels showing photographs of Holocaust victims -- emaciated men, crowds of people being forced onto trains, children behind barbed wire, heaps of human bodies -- set next to similar images of cattle, pigs and chickens.

The Anti-Defamation League denounced the project and PETA's appeal for support from the Jewish community as "outrageous, offensive and taking chutzpah to new heights."

Abraham H. Foxman, a Holocaust survivor and ADL national director, said linking the deliberate, systematic murder of millions of Jews to the issue of animal rights was "abhorrent."

PETA member Matt Prescott, the creator of the campaign, said he is Jewish and his family lost several members in Nazi concentration camps. He said the campaign was funded by a Jewish philanthropist who wishes to remain anonymous.

He said criticism of the project was expected.

"The fact is all animals feel pain, fear and loneliness," he said Friday. "We're asking people to recognize that what Jews and others went through in the Holocaust is what animals go through every day in factory farms."

There's already a thread on this matter, I believe.

Pretty outrageous and inflamitory on their part. Worse, it was a Jew who lost family in the Holocaust that pushed this ad.

Does anyone sitting at the meetings where these concepts are pushed ever think to themselves that stuff like this makes them look insane?

no, because if you are insane, you don't think to yourself that you might be insane.

They had to protect those por donkeys for palestinian bombs. The people on the other hand were not even worth a mention in their letter.

It keeps the lesbians off the street. Remember in Civ2 when you 'built' the women's sufferage' "wonder"? That's the one wonder movie that I was glad to see go in Civ3. Well, these days there's alot less nasty women screaming at your wives and gfs to hate your guts, you nasty men you! Instead they are trying to turn your other half into a vegitarian, which saves money on pricey meat for her, which allows you to buy more beer, and she might just get up and one for you.

Thank you PETA.

Ot's true the nazis were the first to follow radical ecologist policies. It's astounding what a regime so caring to animalscould do to humans

Spiffor: don't confuse enviromentalism with Animal Rights. all animal rights activists are enviromentalists, but not the other way around.

But yes, the Nazis did care about the enviroment.

Damn, Stefu. It's amazing you dug this up.

Azazel : I don't confuse them (actually, I've read a whole book on the issue, which clearly separates between environmentalists, ecologists, and radicla ecologists who are clearly nuts).
PETA seem to fall in the "radical ecologists" category every time I read from them. The kind of people who'd tell a dramatic decrease of human numbers would be good news, if you push them a bit.

You don't have to push me. The only bad outcome of a population decrease would be the decrease in the absolute numbers of exceptional scientists.

I do think we should be treating livestock better.

However, I eat meat and fish at least twice a day.

And PETA has always been a bunch of counterproductive extremist idiots.
