I've known for a long time about the "Your mommy kills animals" comic that Peta thinks is ok to hand out to kids. Just recently someone told me about the daddy version of it.
The one about "mommy" shows graphic images of animals including a bloody skinned mink and abused foxes.
Direct quotes:
"Do you have a puppy you would take for walks or play ball with? Or a kitty who likes to chase string? Everyone knows that it's fun to love and play with our animal friends. But how would you feel if someone took away your kitty or puppy, stomped on their head, and ripped their skin off their bodies?
It would make you feel sad, wouldn't it? Why would anyone be so mean? But there are terrible people who cause our furry friends to die that way every day. And guess what? One of those terrible people is your mommy. Your mommy kills animals! I bet you didn't know that."
The mommy version is truly horrible, and concludes by warning kids to keep the pets away from mommy because she's an animal killer.

Direct quote:
"Imagine that a man dangles a piece of candy in front of you. You love candy so you reach for it. But, as you grab the candy, a huge metal hook stabs through your hand and you're ripped off the ground. You fight to get away, but it doesn't do any good. You are caught, and there is nothing that you can do about it.
You'd feel really scared wouldn't you? That would be an awful trick to play on someone, wouldn't it?
But guess what? Your Daddy plays that same wicked trick on fish, and fish get scared too!"
"Until your Daddy learns that it's not "fun" to kill, keep your doggies and kitties away from him. He's so hooked on killing defenseless animals that they could be next!"
