While much of the criticism directed at Environmetnal Protection Agency head Christie Whitman has accused her of not doing enough to protect the environemnt and human health, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals continues to press its case against the EPA’s plan to conduct toxicity tests of industrial chemicals. Tests which are in large part animal tests.
According to PETA, the tests will “kill tens of millions of animals in toxicity tests called ‘blindly stupid’ and ‘appalling technology’ by scientists.”
This month PETA released a juvenile-looking picture of Whitman sporting horns and bushy black eyebrows with the copy, “Christie Whitman: New Jersey Devil To The Animals.”
Real creative campaign there.
