And note this statement at the end of PETA’s blog announcement:

“PETA’s placement of these colorful ads would certainly offset some of the tax dollars that fund the fence. It’s a winning solution for the folks at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, immigrants, and farmed animals alike.”

So it seems like they’re attempting some sort of satire, but, um, giving the US government more money to offset the cost of border walls is, um, A BIT misdirected. What’s next–”Colorful ads” on Guantanamo?

the thing is, I just can’t roll my eyes at this like alot of the shit that PETA has pulled. This is seriously seriously fucked up. I don’t give a fuck if it’s considered satire. When was it okay to make fun of people risking their lives crossing the border? If the migra doesn’t get you, like if it’s a joke???
