| While the field of ecofeminism has exposed the relationship between animals and women as a function of oppression, leaders in the animal rights movement continue to pursue pornographic marketing strategies that objectify, exploit, and ultimately condone violence against women. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the most visible animal rights organization in the US and worldwide, continues to market women's bodies as a resource to end animal exploitation, failing to address commonalities of injustice between women and the animals they seek to liberate. Consequently, both women's and animal rights movements are undermined and discredited. |
