PETA phone number

757-622-PETA (7382) if anybody wants to call PETA and tell them that their vasectomy contest to honor Infertility Awareness Week is completely insensitive.  Grrr....I'm really mad about this.

Hi - I'm sorry to have to ask and I certianly don't want to start an issue, but I think I must be missing something.  One of women who write one of the blogs I read was also very upset about this, and I really don't understand why.  The points I understand are:

Human overpopulation is a real, fact-based problem.

Feline/canine overpopulation is also a real, fact-based problem.

There are many men who do not wish to have any/anymore children, and a vasectomy is a viable birth-control option.  Certianly, free is best - ostensibly, if you can't afford a vasectomy, you cant afford any more children.

 

Please, no flames. I'd really like someone to explain the points that make so many in the IF community upset.  I also struggle with fertility and am seeking treatment, but I do not find that PETA (who I'm not a big fan of anyway) is targeting us in any way shape or form.  Maybe there is more information I've missed?  Please inform me!

Thanks!

You're not alone Jenna.  I have absolutely no idea what this is about.

It is not that they are offering the service that is fine. What is updating people is they are doing it in honor of infertility awareness week.?

I had missed that part of their bulletin.  That just seems clueless to me - in bad taste and timing.  Education is apparently what they need!
