PETA Worker Sorry For Dumping Dead Animals
I hate PETA. They are a bunch of inane counterproductive idiots IMO. There
was once a chance for the to do real good in the world and now they are simply a liability. "Matthew" wrote in message ... http://www.local6.com/education/10903840/detail.html |

PETA Worker Sorry For Dumping Dead Animals
They would have ended up dead doing that in my home. With the new laws in
place you are considered armed and dangerous if you break into a home. They home owner does not have to retreat anymore I am all in favor of PETA but not the people that are doing the efforts to make PETA a effective tool. A long time ago PETA was sponsoring shelters They were doing ours but some of the fanatics came in a started their BS out on their a@@ they went one even in handcuffs.

We also believe in dealing with terrorists like PETA invading a home like dealing with any other criminal scum invading a home. Center of mass to knock them on their ass. The 10 pounds of tabby sitting on my left shoulder & arm as I type this wouldn't approve of some idiots breaking into our home either. When there's no time for 911, try 1911 instead! -- mers Craig, Kathi & "Cat Five" the tabby girl |

If you've heard of the Aussie sheep mulesing furor PETA has been starting, it is a classic example. PETA started calling for a boycott on Aussie wool because of the mulesing, calling for it to stop immediately. They didnt bother to check up on why it is done, which is to prevent the sheep from dying a painful and slow death being eaten alive by maggots . There has been research going on into alternative preventative methods, which do need a boot up the bum as nothing in rural Australia changes quickly, but if they stopped mulesing without any replacement treatment, millions of sheep would die in this horrible way. PETA still has egg on their face over this, but are still trying.... |

PETA still has egg on their face over this, but are still trying.... Mulesing is painful stuff and it doesn't stop fly strike on other parts of their body, which obviously can get fly stuck, although less often than a daggy sheep bum. Plenty of sheep farmers don't get their sheep mulesed though. Many of the sheep around Armidale weren't mulesed. They would get crutched once or twice a year (basically the wool around their rear end was clipped short). However, there are other things about PETA that I disagree with. Firstly, their resistance to importing Thai elephants into Australia for the Taronga and Melbourne Zoos. Life in these zoos would be of such a high standard I have no doubt in my mind that the elephants will be happy there. The other gripe I had with PETA was when they distastefully bagged Steve Irwin out so soon after his death. Putting aside any other argument about Irwin, his purchasing of huge areas of forest for preservation so as to protect the wildlife, is a good thing in itself. I have mixed feelings about PETA. They do have a place so I wouldn't want to see the organisation going belly up. However I am wary of some of their activities. Dewi |

They would have much more influence and clout if they didn't embarrass themselves quite so often with over-zealousness. Of course the dopier celebs getting involved and waving their lack of knowledge around doesn't help either. |
