Is there anyone at PETA with a braincell at all? P.E.T.A dress up as the Ku Klux Klan to campaign against dog-breeders.
"Obviously it's an uncomfortable comparison," PETA spokesman Michael McGraw said. But the AKC is trying to create a 'master race,' he added. "It's a very apt comparison."
No it isn't, for one thing the KKK isn't trying to breed a master race. Were your Nazi uniforms at the cleaners or did you worry that people might mistake you for a promotion for Valkyrie ?

You've missed your last chance to see the Yangtze river dolphin as the little blighter has been declared extinct. I remember reading Douglas Adams' book about endangered species in the early Nineties and the almost farcical lengths his radio crew went to try and record what the Yangtze river sounded like underwater, they eventually found that there was so much noise pollution caused by man that the dolphin's sonar was completely useless, with boat propellers and other dangers it would be the equivalent of you or I walking through a room of rotating blades with a blindfold on. As the report says, it was thoughtlessness about this that did for the dolphin rather than active malevolence.

Steve Irwin fans suspected of 'revenge attacks' against stingrays. Let's savour the irony of fans of a naturalist killing animals. I just wish he'd been killed by some turtles, so I could make a 'war on terra(pins)' joke.
