A great article about the participants of the branding demo and a very strong message for all animal rights activists. Gives some more insight to the 269 movement and talks about where the animal rights movement is right now. A heavy read, and absolutely worth it.
"I was asked by the representative to mention that some of the interview may not be pleasant, but he and his friends in 269 are “only committed to the animals and we believe that we must say the truth about the struggle for animal rights even if it is hard to hear, otherwise we cannot progress in our fight.”"
Ok It has to be said. As much as I love this idea, I honestly don't know how many people will take you seriously, as you know, there's alot of immature people in the world, the same people you are trying to appeal to, and the number has 69 in it.
I really wouldn't have thought the fact that 69 is in the number would be problem. I mean the number is 269, not 69. It is a number and symbol to put a face to billions of others who go completely unnoticed by the majority of people.

hey I agree with you, I'm just thinking about the immaturity of alot of people in this world.
Got my tattoo
Solidarity. This tattoo represents not only the doomed calf 269, but all the worlds oppressed creatures. I will never stop fighting for your freedom and liberation.

Ridiculous. Encouraging animal activists to abandon human rights causes and vilifying those who do support human rights activism?! My laptop is burning and my eyes just bled a little.
More on why 269 Life is a problematic organisation:
You can choose to support the likes of 269 Life, PETA, etc. I will not banish fellow animal rights supporters for their choices. Just acknowledge that they have their flaws (as every movement and every activist do). I personally will not.
