Not to mention the fact that the offence they caused when comparing the killing of animals to the Holocaust should have already procluded them from the Union.<BR/><BR/>The fact that our union was the first in the UK to host their conference is something to be ashamed of and after the hypocrisy the organisation showed hopefully they won't be back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19518344.post-24509248434835279622007-10-31T15:22:00.000+00:002007-10-31T15:22:00.000+00:00"Does anyone really think that no one will be offe..."Does anyone really think that no one will be offended by the woman"<BR/>they are clearly branding it offensive in spite of using the same tactics ("sex sells"). this is nothing new for peta in terms of hypocrisy. they sued "people eating tasty animals" for cybersquatting on the domain name peta.com yet then went on to cybersquat themselves on voguemagazine.com and ringlingbrothers.com AFTER succsessfully winning the initial case.<BR/><BR/>furthermore, to reiterate annoyed union user's comments, if they get the place for free as a gesture of goodwill from the union, is it not reasonable to follow the union terms? it appears that peta are looking the proverbial gift horse in the mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19518344.post-59655765992709571132007-10-30T22:35:00.000+00:002007-10-30T22:35:00.000+00:00The Image shown with the article doesn't seem very...The Image shown with the article doesn't seem very offensive.
