PETA president Ingrid Newkirk is clearly deranged. I mean, she thinks that chipmunks are more important than people.
She also has some wacky ideas about the critters she has chosen to represent. Condemning Sharon Stone for demanding that a tarantula have its fangs removed in a film scene, Newkirk said the actress "chose to make a tiny insect into an amputee".
Firstly, spiders are not insects. They are arachnids.
And an "amputee"? Does she think tarantulas walk on their fangs?
Considering how politicized science has become she'll probably be awarded a PhD in zoology before too long.
