Now Available: PETA Coffins
2/19/09
Promotional coffins for humans is the latest sick idea from the even sicker minds at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). A New Mexico based company, the Old Pine Box, has begun manufacturing all-wood coffins that feature slogans supporting PETA. Some of the slogans make quite a statement, such as: “Told You I Wouldn’t Be Caught Dead in Fur!” The coffins were put on sale in mid- December and have prices ranging from $620-$670. The price included a $75 contribution to PETA. The coffins are being built by Dienna Genther, a former construction worker turned entrepreneur who resides near Albuquerque. According to Genther, PETA approached her about making coffins. According to a New York based PETA spokesperson, Michael McGraw, the group expects a “healthy interest” in the coffins, “It’s the best way for people to continue to use their voice for animals in death,” he said.
