PETA "save the whales" posters must stop say Obesity Action Coalition
By DabitchCreated Aug 21 2009 - 17:07Peta have pissed off an org bigger than themselves with their save the whales poster. The The Obesity Action Coalition have gone out with a release that "Calls on PETA to Immediately End Campaign Stigmatizing Overweight and Obese Individuals"
With more than 93 million Americans affected by obesity, this type of unacceptable stigmatization of obese/overweight individuals has no place in today's society. Obese individuals are often stigmatized or discriminated against in a variety of areas, such as employment, school, healthcare and much more. The OAC finds obesity stigma to be extremely detrimental to the obese population as it furthers the all-too-frequent negative perceptions of the obese. The OAC demands PETA immediately end the campaign and remove the billboard from the public domain and the PETA Web site. In addition, the OAC is currently encouraging its Coalition members to respond directly to PETA about this inappropriate campaign. If you are not a member of the Coalition, but would also like to respond, please visit the OAC Web site at www.obesityaction.org for more information.
