can it get anymore tasteless than this?

so, last thursday, PETA (people for ethical treatment of animals) set up some exhibit downtown near the capitol. the display was titled "Holocaust on Your Plate." there were pictures comparing treatment of livestock to Holocaust victims. and even though i am a vegetarian myself, i can never seem to agree with the ways PETA goes about trying to get their message out. as smart as some animals are, yes they can feel pain, and discomfortant, and understand companionship, i dont think it is possible to even compare the mistreatment of animals to Holocaust victims. and it is just my personal opinion but i dont think it could get anymore tasteless than that. "those people" seemed to be so concerned with the treatment and feelings of animals, that they show little or no regard for the treatment and feelings of human-beings.
