And as someone mentioned earlier its criminally insane how all the Mexican magazines and tv shows ignore people with Indian features. #queenbeatrix

ETA: I hate that all the pictures from Mexico shown in magazines, tv, other media always show pretty white kids but they never show any pretty brown one's except when they're showcasing poverty. Blrgh. Mexico get over your colorism it's kind of pathetic. You know most of your population is mestizo not criollo.

I think it was more of a way for him to hit the media again though. No one cares about his streaking. No one ever did. The only reason it got any attention is because a tv show host tried to pull his pants down on national television a while back.
If he made threats against the Queen, then that's sick. Especially this year, since on April 30th last, Queen's Day, a man plowed his way through spectators watching the Royal family (driving his car at very high speed) and ended up killing 8 people.
Whatever his motivations, his actions are tacky and tasteless.

Anyway, I see how running around naked is a metaphor for an animal without it's fur, but I'm hoping that this doesn't catch on with too many other animal rights activists. Peta has proved that they will fight for animals by objectifying women in the process. Even when I was twelve I saw through Peta's bs.
Last year (my senior year of high school) I went to a journalism convention where Peta had a booth. My girlfriend and I read a letter from them on the bus, aimed at young journalists, that was so full of manipulative LIES it made us sick. It is really disconcerting to think about what a bad name Peta gives actual vegans, vegetarians, and animal rights activists.
Most of the Peta fans I know watch a video of some animals dying and join the club. They don't really see how horrible and manipulative Peta is. They really hurt more animals than they save. And Peta2, aimed at a younger generation encourages vandalism and several other unlawful, disruptive means of protest. What a way to get people to see things from our side.

Also, attacking the Queen? As of last April 30th, that's sort of a been there, done that deal. SUCH a wanker.

And then he tried to pull his pants down, cause you're not a streaker if you're wearing clothes.

Would we tolerate this from anti-choice protesters?
My answer is no. Both animal rights protesters who engage in this kind of protest (not ALL animal rights activists) and anti-choice protesters same kind of attitude: that one moral view has the right to resort to violence and physical threats to impose itself on others. That attitude is unacceptable.

I don't call myself vegan, but try and eat a mostly plant based diet and the extreme forms of protest drive me crazy! It's that kind of shit that makes everyone think I'm crazy. I blame PETA for my roommate giving me stank face when I politely decline her pound cake.

@smallc: according to their website, PETA claims that they do not actively identify with the abortion rights movement. But, um, I think their FAQs page has a lot of "this is what we think in theory" that doesn't always play out in practice.
As an aside, they also point out that they do not condone violence, and I'd have to agree that ALF is way more terrifying in that regard.

I think the existence of groups like PETA has helped to divide different groups more distinctly, perhaps because both ends of the extremes get their backs up about the other side and polarize themselves even more. I think, though, the attitude from the side that uses animals and eats meat etc. is more, "do what you want, but don't infringe on my rights or my ability to earn an income", whereas PETA et al gets pushy about converting views.
