The Kennel Club is like the KKK. Really, PETA?

Okayyyyy, so now the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, better known as PETA, are comparing the American Kennel Club to the KKK because ‘they both believe that pure bloodlines are superior’.

This shows that not only are they an organisation who actively seek out and embrace controversy, (i.e. approach with massive doses of salt) but also that they have no problem exploiting women to push their agenda, which by their own logic makes them what? Pimps? And now they’ve co-opted eugenics as a platform for their message. Just because they come down on the ‘eugenics is bad’ side of the debate, that doesn’t mean it’s not sick of them to leverage it. That’s like saying you hate rape because it leads to more abortions, or something.

With each word I devote to writing about PETAs shameful tactics of self-promotion, a little bit more of me dies. Before I expire completely let’s reassure ourselves that we’re not taking crazy pills, and take a look at how ridiculous their assertions that dog breeding is as bad as the racial purity ideologies of the KKK really are:



1. Dogs are not people. This one is obvious but I feel that it bears repeating because this is where PETA keep missing the point, in my opinion. Dogs are not people; animals are not people, they don’t have the same problems as people so stop anthropomorphising them like they cry themselves to sleep at night because Bambi’s mum got shot. Harpooning endangered species is not cool, but if I want to eat a steak then I can without remorse. A lion can have a steak whenever it wants; are Lions assholes? No, they are animals (with great haircuts I might add).


2. The purer the bloodline, the more stupid the breed. I know that that is kind of PETA’s point but dogs don’t know they’re stupid, neither do stupid people - that’s why they’re stupid. You know who’s stupid? The KKK. You know why? Because they are inbred. The KKK want to control racial propagation but they are too stupid to recognise that you can’t mess with nature. The very fact that the KKK exists at all is a great example of natural selection at work. In a couple more generations they’ll be dribbling in trailer parks on the outskirts of towns, with too many fingers and heads that are too big for their silly hats.


3. Dog breeders want to control the genetics of a breed. Not because they believe in the supremacy of that breed, or because they believe that only pure breed dogs should have executive power and civil rights, but because they want to show off their pretty dogs to each other.


4. The KKK lynches black people, the AKC doesn’t.
