PETA, once again, has protested outside the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. This time, some were dressed as Ku Klux Klan members.

Their goal, according to a post on the PETA website, was to draw a parallel between the KKK and the American Kennel Club. "Obviously it's an uncomfortable comparison," PETA spokesman Michael McGraw told the Associated Press.

But the AKC is trying to create a "master race" when it comes to pure-bred dogs, he added. "It's a very apt comparison."

The group passed out brochures implying the Klan and AKC have the goal of "pure bloodlines" in common.

Maybe it's just me, but I find it hard to believe anyone who didn't already agree with their cause would find this comparison even slightly convincing.
