(The Root) -- PETA -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals -- is known for its radical, even extreme views and methods regarding animal rights. From throwing buckets of blood or red paint on people wearing fur to showing graphic re-enactments of violence against women, PETA's main course of action often seems to be to offend as many people as possible to further its anti-animal-cruelty cause.
On Tuesday some wounds were reopened when reports surfaced that PETA was claiming that eating chicken could cause underdeveloped genitals in baby boys. No, seriously. PETA wrote an open letter to the founder of the National Buffalo Wing Festival that "consuming poultry while pregnant may lead to birth defects in utero, including smaller-than-average penises for newborn boys."
