PETA Celebrates Infertility

No, I am not kidding. PETA has launched a contest to "celebrate, not lament" National Infertility Awareness Week.

From the press release--
"One lucky man who has his dog or cat neutered between March 28 and April 27 will be reimbursed up to $500 for his own vasectomy.

"The human population explosion is draining water and land resources and causing huge pollution problems," says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk, who was "snipped" years ago and highly recommends it. "Volunteering not to add to the crisis for man or dog helps future generations to avoid scrambling to survive, and spaying and neutering can spare millions of dogs and cats from homelessness."

You can read the press release here, and the details of the contest here.

I'm not sure where to begin. It must have been nice for Ms. Newkirk to have the choice to "volunteer" to be "snipped." I just hope that she doesn't think that celebrating a disease that takes away a woman's ability to choose whether or not to be a biological parents makes her a feminist.
