A Brief History of the Zombie Rights Movement

Initial formation of PETZ

In 2005 the US government admitted to having knowledge of the living dead after an on-camera blunder former President Bush. The President was quoted as saying, "Them Al Quaeda think they're clever, but they can't bring back the dead, so they'll run out of soldiers before we do!" Thus PETZ was born.

History of re-animation

Under the Obama administration, several previously classified documents have come to light as Washington tries to balance a new health care plan for both the living and the recently deceased. The most up to date timeline that PETZ has access to indicates that during the cold war, the Military was looking for a weapon that could bring the Soviet Union to its knees. In their research, they came across a formula for a gas, that could bring back the dead. The gas indeed reanimated corpses, but it also made them ravenous for flesh. The project was ruled too dangerous and was stopped by the Pentagon. In recent years it seems the research has been reopened.

Strides in Zombie understanding:

While PETZ does not in any way condone testing on the undead, government research has recently proved several facts: the undead can remember people from their former lives, hold simple jobs, and have meaningful, loving relationships.

Inter Faith Support:

On April 30, 2001, the Vatican, one of the longest standing supporters of undead rights, issued a letter stating that "a sin against the resurrected is to be considered a grave sin, or 'delictum gravius.'"

Pro-life support groups all over the country have been brainstorming ways of re-branding their campaign to seem more accepting to the undead.

Be an angel, adopt a Zombie.

Zombie Rights Meets Bloody Celebration

PETZ's undead brothers and sisters in Texas have cooked up one heck of a party to rally support for the no-longer-living. From their "Lurch To The Capitol" to screenings of brand new Zombie films, they're pulling no punches to make sure that everyone has a good time. Here's what Dismember The Alamo has to say:

Currently in it’s 3rd year, the Dismember the Alamo Zombie Film Festival is a celebration of all things undead. For three nights the festival will feature screenings of the best zombie films we can get our hands on, including a Texas premiere of Dead Snow. In addition to the special screenings, we will also be hosting our annual zombie shorts competition and a zombie lurch to the capitol and zombie happy hour at Club Deville on October 25th.
