What do you guys think about PETA’s analogy? These people are ridiculous

Excerpts:

Africans captured and forced into slavery were often compared to animals so as to somehow justify their treatment. They were called "brutes" and "beasts" because of the color of their skin. Their lives were considered expendable, and many died at the hands of their oppressors. The same oppressive mentality behind those actions leads to the slaughter of animals today.

Beatings, lynching’s, burnings: These cruel acts happen today just as in the past, only the victims have changed. Cattle and horses are branded with hot irons to mark them as property; elephants used in circuses are captured from their homelands, and then beaten with metal "bullhooks" and baseball bats. Cows, chickens, and pigs are strung upside-down before their throats are slit. Many animals are beaten, kicked, and spat upon by farm and slaughterhouse workers who view them as objects of scorn, not as frightened individuals.
