Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007PETA Worker Sorry For Dumping Dead Animals
http://www.local6.com/education/10903840/detail.html > http://www.local6.com/education/10903840/detail.html I despise PETA. They are a bunch of hypocrital idiots. When Katrina hit they sent a grand total of THREE workers to the New Orleans area to assist with the pets that had been left behind. Big wup. Jill 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. > http://www.local6.com/education/10903840/detail.html > I hate PETA.

I favor ethical treatment of animals, and I'm not happy about experimentation on them, certainly, but I find PETA's "methods" obnoxious and counter- productive. Most of what they do is get in your face or scream at people who disagree with them. There was a local newspaper article in California about how members of PETA went to the home of a restuarant chef who works at a restaurant that has Foie Gras on the menu. They broke into his house and intimidated him and his family. What animal did they help by doing that? The Humane Society is a lot more effective overall when it comes to helping animals. And they understand a bit more about effective P.R. too. MElissa 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. >> I hate PETA.

They >home owner does not have to retreat anymore Two to the chest, one to the head, we'd like 'em alive but we'll take 'em dead! 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 a.s. 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! :D  Signatureannoyed@net.spammers Craig, Kathi & "Cat Five" the tabby girl You, I like!

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.... On Feb 6, 7:43 am, "meeee" <pleasespa...@youknowyouwantto.gov.au> wrote: > >> I hate PETA.

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.

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.
