The Duggars are a family that live in Arkansas.
Jim Bob and Michelle decided to stop using birth control and allow God to decide how many children they would have. They have since had 19. The family has done about four one-hour specials and now they have a weekly show on TLC.

I assume they would have to get permission to use their name and/or likeness,right?

No, the DUggars did NOT give their permission per the news story I heard this on this morning

Well this thread certainly took a turn I did not expect, still very good dialogue and very worthwhile issues.

I also believe Peta has been one of the only organizations to really show what is going on with many animal issues. I have done my homework and studied them a great deal and support their cause.

I think many people use fear tactics about Peta and I would hope more people would go to their website and make up their own mind.

P.S. I will also hold my opinion on the Duggars

One other note...PETA is not in the animal rescue business..they are into animal rights. While I do not agree with every thing they say (I don't agree with everything the church says either) I do not understand making animals suffer for some of the things we do and like.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): The animal rights organization

Maybe one day we will live in a world where there are no puppymills or bybs. Lives will be looked at as just that...LIFE, not $$$ or fashion accessories. Then there will be no unwanted babies to euthanize.

Thanks for sharing your posts Ann. It was hard reading, but I am glad I did.

As for the add, it is stating a fact.

As far as the Duggars go....well, I won't say what I think..

I completely agree with this!

I will also keep my opinion to myself about them...

Thanks for the info had no idea who they were

So they're basically the prior "Jon & Kate" on steroids ... and using it to market themselves in the media. I'll say no more

From the above posting, PETA obviously did not get permission from the Duggars, so I don't think that it was a tasteful add. I think that they can get their point accross with their statistics alone, they don't need to bring someone's family business into it. I personally think their show is cute, they're braver than I am! I have three kids (7, 5, and 14 months) and I'm exhausted... I don't know how she does it! I guess it helps when some of your kids are old enough to have kids of their own and can watch the small ones!
