Animal Rights Scam Of The Week

Animal Rights Scam Of The Week Last week, PETA's front group, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), ran the appalling advertisement below in The Express, a free commuter newspaper distributed on the metro-rail system by the Washington Post.

Given the scourge of frivolous medical malpractice litigation, how could any doctors' group encourage more lawsuits? That's not a real concern for PCRM, which admits that only five percent of its members are doctors. By trying to make an example out of a physician who recommended the Atkins diet, the animal-rights nuts at PCRM have merely given the world one more example of -- in the words of the American Medical Association -- its "unethical tactics."
