PETA Now Targets Mario

[ghouck]

There was an article a few years ago that claimed Peta destroyed all but 12 of the 3000+ animals they took in that year. One conclusion was that they didn't find any people that applied to adopt them acceptable. They REALLY believe in that crap about how having an animal as a pet harms it's 'spirit'.

Nah, see, the organization actually believes that pets are abominations that should be destroyed. Never mind that we as a species probably wouldn't be anywhere near where we are today if our ancestors hadn't domesticated some key species (having food animals on hand probably cut down on the time needed to go out and get meat, plus cattle and horses proved to be very useful for agricultural purposes).

Wow....that's crazy! I've had many pets,dogs especially,and the love they gave me certainly didn't show any harmed spirit. In fact,the collie/sheppard/wolf cross I had while pregnant stayed by my side constantly,convinced that she had to watch out for me.

But aren't humans a part of the natural life cycle of the earth?
I mean, whether you believe in divine creation - in most versions of which, God gave man dominion over the animals - or in purely naturalistic evolution - in which case man is one of the most successful apex predators the world has ever produced - either way, people killing and eating and wearing animals is a PART of the natural process.

Which brings me to the conclusion that the members of PETA are a bunch of self loathing idiots.  However, being the kind and charitable soul that I am, I have a solution that should make them and us happy:

A complete moratorium on eating and wearing animals until all PETA members have been killed, skinned, and consumed.


BON APETIT!!!!!

     Fine....but who gets the job of cleaning 'em?

They're just making their usual desperate attention-grab.  Typical.

And make no mistake: PETA is not about animal welfare.  Never has been.  PETA is about 'freeing' animals so they live completely without intervention by humans. What PETA is totally against is human intervention in any form - for ill OR good. Humans interfering with animals in any way is wrong, according to PETA.  PETA could care less if animals suffer and die: as far as they are concerned that is the natural way and as it should be, as long as it does not involve human actions. 

Ya know, Newt, that fits into my view of PETA. They are just another form of bully.
They hide behind animals as an excuse to push people around. To me that makes them no better than poachers. They are selfish jerks, and in both cases, the animals suffer.
Two unbalanced views of nature, and both are stupid.

Well, sadly, as misguided and virtually insane as PETA is, they get a lot of attention. I mean, just look how much attention this thread has gotten.
