PETA as the KKK
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) despises the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. (Of course they do.) The animal-rights group regularly protests the famous choreographed puppy fest, but in 2009 they took their stunts to the extreme by dressing up as members of the Ku Klux Klan. Why? To protest the American Kennel Club's supposed attempts to create a "master race" of dogs, of course. Activists handed out pamphlets with catchy messages such as "The KKK and the AKC: BFF?" Really, PETA? Using the KKK to protest the AKC? WTF?
