The Center for Consumer Freedom has placed more than 800 advertisements on Metro trains throughout the Washington area in an attempt to convince riders that animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals is hypocritical.
The ads feature a hand holding a match to the red-ribbon symbol supporting AIDS research and a quote from PETA’s president and co-founder, Ingrid Newkirk, who told a newspaper, “Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it.”
