Staging Protests in Different Mediums

PETA and the Guerilla Girls are both groups of individuals who fight strongly for what it is that they believe in. Just as much as PETA wants to protect the safety of animals, the Guerilla Girls wants to enforce feminism just as badly. Both groups use things such as billboards, stickers, and bumper stickers to enhance their protests. With these various ways of stating their claims, both PETA and the Guerilla Girls are able to reach a variety of people. They can influence people walking down the street as they look at billboards or influence people in cars at a traffic light if they use bumper stickers. I feel that for PETA both billboards and stickers are effective. However for the Guerilla Girls, I feel that they should try to influence more areas of society having to do with mostly women such as dance companies or flower shops. My opinions of PETA vary. I agree with not harming animals, but I do not agree with people needing to become vegetarians. Looking at PETA from a position opposite of mine, I would have to believe that animals are equal and just as smart as humans in order to become a vegetarian. For the Guerilla Girls, I find their bright, outgoing ads to be most successful because they immediately grab the audience's attention. Using their specific means to protest such as wearing masks and making humorous signs makes the issue not look as important as I feel that they wish it did.
