Check out PETA's latest offering from their catalog: The “Breasts Not Animal Tests” tank, $24. The product description reads:
“You probably already know that peta2 loves animals. But did you know
that we also love boobies? What's not to love, right? That's why Keep A Breast and peta2 have come together to bring you an awesome new tank top with a very important message: “Breasts, Not Animal Tests!”
We all know that breast cancer is a serious disease
that affects most of us in some way (either personally or through
someone we know), but did you know that it also affects animals?
It's true. Monkeys, rats, mice, rabbits, cats, dogs, and other animals
often suffer and die because of horrific tests that are conducted in
the name of breast cancer 'research.' Besides being cruel, the 'research' is also ineffective. Former National Cancer Institute
Director Dr. Richard Klausner has stated, 'The history of cancer
research has been the history of curing cancer in the mouse. We have
cured mice of cancer for decades, and it simply didn't work in humans.'”
Coming from an organization that once shrink wrapped nauseous interns in 80-plus degree weather for World Vegetarian Week–in addition to that whole objectification of women thing, obviously–many are calling shenanigans. We're guessing that might include the 186,467 women and 1,764 men diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 alone.
