I don't see how this is

I don't see how this is connected to Erin's argument about PETA's imagery. The point is that connecting the argument to these images takes people away from the "for further reading" portion of the conversation. Whether one is disturbed by the monstrous teat - the abject rendering of the woman-cow hybrid - or by PETA's engagement with a culture of sexual objectification, the repulsive images detracts from the credibility of the argument to which it is attached (such as the one you linked to).
