    One can say that PETA does bring to light a lot of valid animal abuse issues...but PETA's methods aren't any better.

    Pot, meet the kettle.

    " For example, Ben Franklin's "Join or Die" is an early cartoon, which depicts a severed snake that representing the colonies. This is commonly acknowledged as America's first cartoon. The image was purely political and was understood among all classes. "Join or Die" was symbolic in American culture, everyone could relate and
    understand, and more importantly respond (Backer)."

    Taken from here: http://www.people.vcu.edu/~djbromle/...anne/index.htm

    there's also one of our very first flags of the Colonies...."Don't Tread on Me" with the snake.
