It's old. Here's some background info on the pathetic little nutcase:

Bruce Friedrich

Background
PETA’s director of vegan outreach, Bruce Friedrich, nakedly exposes his
views -- and everything else. Arrested in London in July 2001 for
streaking Buckingham Palace with the words “go vegan” painted on his
body, Friedrich specializes in confrontation. He threw a glass of water
at London’s visiting mayor in Washington, DC when he didn’t like the
mayor’s answer to a question about pigeon food. Friedrich also spent
over a year in prison for attacking an Air Force fighter plane with a
hammer.

Friedrich believes sport hunters should be viewed “with the same
revulsion we presently reserve for Nazi doctors and slave traders.” He
spearheads PETA’s absurd “Jesus Was a Vegetarian” campaign. Friedrich
has even denounced teenage animal-rights activists who dare to question
the appropriateness of violent protest.

Timothy McVeigh “should not be allowed to take even one more life,”
wrote Friedrich, urging the terrorist’s warden to serve the condemned
prisoner only meatless meals. When McVeigh opted for a vegetarian “last
meal,” Friedrich proclaimed that the mass murderer’s decision to abstain
from meat “groups him with some of the world’s greatest visionaries,
including Albert Schweitzer, Gandhi, Leo Tolstoy and Albert Einstein.”


Quotes
"If we really believe that these animals do have the same right to be
free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course we’re going
to be, as a movement, blowing stuff up and smashing windows. For the
record, I don’t do this stuff, but I do advocate it. I think it’s a
great way to bring about animal liberation … I think it would be a great
thing if all of these fast-food outlets, and these slaughterhouses, and
these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I
think it’s perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them
through the windows, and everything else along the line. Hallelujah to
the people who are willing to do it."
- “Animal Rights 2001” convention (July 2, 2001)

"[Eating meat] is not your personal decision, any more than, you know,
whether somebody beats their child is their personal decision."

"If you can take Ronald McDonald and turn him into a psychotic, bloody
butcher … that’s going to adversely affect McDonald’s’ stock price."

Do you support his PETA terrorist-front organization?
