“Even If Animal Research Resulted In A Cure For AIDS, We'd Be Against It”
Anti-PETA Ads Running On D.C. Metro Use Radical PETA’s Own Words

Washington, DC – Most Americans would do anything in their power to save the life of a loved one diagnosed with a terminal illness. But most Americans aren’t members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The radical group dedicated to “total animal liberation” has made it clear that given the choice between saving the lives of sick people and lab rats, rodents should win every time.

In new ads running on the Washington, D.C. Metro system, the Center for Consumer Freedom draws attention to PETA’s decidedly unethical hostility toward the use of animals for life-saving medical research. The ads quote PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk saying: “Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it.”

PETA’s preference for lab animals over people has resulted in boycotts of the nation’s most respected medical research charities – including the March of Dimes, the American Red Cross, the American Heart Association, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (Race for the Cure).
