Members of People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Through Education (PEACE) has been doing a number of things around the University of California, San Diego campus to promote their cause, including working to add more vegan options to campus dining services and hosting a variety of video screenings. But last week, they pulled a new approach out of the bag. The group, affiliated with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, displayed a 12-panel exhibit Nov. 8 through Nov. 12 along UCSD’s Library Walk, which showed explicit images of animal torture, mutilation and imprisonment. According to the group’s website, the goal behind the exhibit was to juxtapose past cruelty to women, children and minorities with photos of animals in similar exploitative situations. “Child labor, human slavery, and the oppression of women and immigrants were addressed only after forward-thinking people challenged the status quo,” said Dan Shannon, director of peta2, a PETA youth affiliate. “Today, nonhuman beings are tormented, denied justice, and slaughtered out of sheer prejudice — just as some human beings have been throughout history.”
