Reading over this post at Hot Air, a sudden illumination came over me about PETA. Beyond the fact that they delight in being PITAs, PETA is devoted to the destruction of reason.
It’s really very simple when you think about. PETA is premised on the idea that animals are morally equivalent, or even morally superior, to human beings and therefore must be accorded equal rights with humans. The only way this is possible is to ignore the primary faculty which distinguishes homo sapiens from any other species now alive on the planet: the ability to reason.
Therefore PETA thinks that reason is either trivial or morally bad.

Duh, you just figured that out?
If people are morally equivalent to animals, why shouldn’t I fill my pita with PETA? They’re just another source of meat.
