PETA, while acknowledging that the "Bonsai Kitten" site is all a hoax, wants to have it shut down anyway.

Next they'll want a boycott of Yertle the Turtle for its abuse of little Mack the turtle.
Gotta love PETA. They appear to be almost as completely lacking in any sense of humor as E. J. Armstrong.

Wait, I think I've changed my mind about PETA.
Let PETA and furries annihiliate one another.

I think I can agree with that as well, I would happily like to to lead a squad of fursuited kitties skwryls foxes and bunnies against the PETA mobs. we would win by default, PETA couldn't fight back, moral dilemma of attacking people who at that moment in time are an animal,
plus it would be television gold!

On-topic: At my first job I got in trouble because I sent some loon the Snopes-link to a mass-email he sent out asking for the liberation of the Bonsai Kittens
Who extacly are PETA goign to send their petition too. The bonsai kitten website has been created already, numerous copies of it exist in both online and offline archives and mirrors. One might as well collect a petition on behalf of the Hunters of America demanding that the "Make Sure he's Dead" Joke is removed from the global conciousness.

Well then, that pretty well scraps any plans I might have had for an "Origami Guinea Pigs" site ...

Considering who hosts Bonsai Kitten these days, good luck getting it removed.

How timely, relevant and totally not stupid. Hopefully they can convince some human rights activists to follow their lead and get manbeef.com removed from the wayback machine.

Well, it doesn't get any more simple than that.
if ever you wanted proof that PETA is not only a bunch of fraudsters who play on the emotions and wallets the ignorant, but now we clearly see they are out to attack the first amendment:
"However, we are hopeful that if the FBI continues to receive complaints about the site and, specifically, its potential for encouraging actual acts of cruelty to animals, BonsaiKitten.com will be shut down permanently. Learn more about actions you can take in response to Web sites that depict cruelty to animals."
"FBI, acting on the many calls and e-mails that it has received from outraged citizens, decided to investigate BonsaiKitten.com. Please add your voice to the protest by filing a complaint using this Web-based reporting center developed by the FBI to combat Internet fraud and other forms of Internet crime."
I see no crime or fraud here, other than a gaggle of hypocrites trying to abuse a government website by pushing their "Marketing strategy"..er..I mean "unethical agenda."
Oh please Mr. FBI man! You simply must use as much tax dollars and manpower as necessary to protect my precious sensibilities from photoshopped images!
Besides, everyone knows Kittens are delicious.

PETA As Bad As Any Religion.
PETA? You mean that company that kills their own animals? They claim to save animals, yet they kill over 90% of the animals they "rescue" (LINK).
If you don't believe that, PETA itself suggests that they kill their own animals at times (LINK). Look at THIS QUOTE from above site:
"Although it is true that 'no-kill' shelters do not kill animals, this doesn't mean that animals are saved. There simply aren't enough good homes - or even enough cages - for them all."
Yes, that's straight from PETA's very own web site.
They admit that they don't have enough room to take care of the animals, yet they still try to take in as many as possible anyway, knowing full well that it's an impossible goal, and in the end PETA just kills the animals they've "rescued" anyway.
Have a look at another news article (LINK), if you're interested.

We really did not need any more proof that PETA is a totally wackjob organizatiion,but it's nice of them to furnish more proof.
For a real ripping apart of PETA,see the episode of Penn And Teller's "Bullsh-t" that deals with PETA. I admit that Penn and Teller have done some very questionable shows in recent years,but their PETA show was on target.
