Che's granddaughter, Lydia Guevara
PETA embraces puppy-killer Che Guevara
 PETA has embraced the puppy-killing revolutionary Che Guevara in a new ad campaign that features Che’s granddaughter, Lydia Guevara.
PETA’s ad quotes Che as saying “The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.”
PETA goes on to note that,
Well, it looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Che Guevara’s granddaughter, Lydia Guevara, is following in her revolutionary granddad’s footsteps by calling for a “vegetarian revolution.”
Here’s a campaign photo of Lydia trying to imitate Che’s iconic image
But is Che Guevara really someone that PETA wants to snuggle up to? Che is, after all, a puppy murderer.
Here’s the story of Che’s horrific act that occurred while he and his men were on a combat patrol in November 1957, as recounted in Jon Lee Anderson’s 1997 book, Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life (Grove Press).
[Caution: The following text is not for the squeamish]
As the soldiers advanced up the Mar Verde Valley, Che and his men stuck to the flanking forested hills, trying to catch up to them without being seen. They tried to speed up their pace, but discovered that their new mascot, a puppy, had stubbornly trailed them. Che ordered the fighter who was looking after the puppy, a man named Felix, to make it go back, but the little dog continued trotting loyally behind. They reached an arroyo where they rested, and the puppy inexplicably began howling; the men tried to hush it with comforting words, but the little dog didn’t stop. Che ordered it killed. “Felix looked at me with eyes that said nothing,” Che wrote later. “Very slowly he took out a rope, wrapped it around the animal’s neck, and began to tighten it. The cute little movements of the dog’s tail suddenly became convulsive, before gradually dying out, accompanied by a steady moan that escaped from its throat despite the firm grasp. I don’t know how long it took for the end to come, but to all of us it seemed like forever. With one nervous twitch the puppy stopped moving. There it lay, sprawled out, its little head spread over the twigs.”
PETA recently let President Obama off the hook for killing a fly during an interview in the White House because,
As we all know, human beings often don’t think before they act.
Will this rationalization will be applied to the people-as-well-as-puppy-murdering Che as well?
Viva la revolución de hipocresía!
