Too hot for the Drudge Report

I don't understand vegetarian how ppl so passionately crazy about all animals could ever kill an animal. They have done nude posters for no fur, staged all kinds of protests and done so much for animals.

That was also on the news last year.
P.e.t.a. is one of the biggest scams out there.
I simply can't say enough bad things about them.

Has it been verified? I find it hard to believe.

Don't know why they'd go thru so much crazy trouble just to end up killing 'em. I love (most) animals but I think they are a bunch of wackos. Some peta fanatic who died left the strangest will ever, I wish I had a link or could remember what it was about. Something about she wanted her body cut apart and eyeballs taken out to show what an animal has to go thru. What does that prove?

Sorry. Double post.

PETA...interesting that they claim to do so much good to 'help' animals avoid pain and suffering yet cause it themselves to so many animals, eh?

It is hypocritical of PETA to demand that everyone else treat animals kindly while they themselves are putting them down by the thousands, isn't it?

But stop and ask yourself if PETA isn't actually doing these animals a big favor by releasing them from this life on Earth.

I'm not trying to stand up for PETA so before you start flaming me for saying that, consider that there is a HUGE chance there really is life after what we on this planet refer to as death. You may not agree with me that there is life after this one, and that's okay, but I firmly believe there is.

People run puppy mills because the pet stores keep buying them. The pet stores keep buying them because the public keeps buying them from the pet stores. So who do you think we should blame for the existence of puppy mills?

That's right, the public. Your friends and neighbors, maybe even you. Anyone who has EVER bought an animal from a pet store is to blame for puppy mills existing.

Want to put a stop to the cruel treatment of animals by puppy mills? (If you've ever seen the conditions these animals are raised in, you would know just how truly cruel it really is.) Stop buying them from the damned pet stores! There are plenty to adopt from the Human Society and other organizations.

Every Christmas I see people crowding into pet stores with their kids, looking for the next cute little furry baby to bring home. Why do I say next? Because this is the same thing they probably did last Christmas.

Here's how it goes. Parents drag their kid to the pet store where the kid falls madly in love with a baby animal. Mom and dad buy it and they take it home, where the kid plays with it until it grows up and starts to do things that make the entire family uncomfortable or angry. The poor animal just does what it knows to do, whether they like it or not, but the family doesn't like it, the kids begin to hate it and it either 'runs away' on it's own or mom and dad just happen to leave the back door open one day.

That animal is then loose to procreate and live a feral life, with the inherent dangers and suffering of that type of life. If the animal doesn't get hit by a car or attacked by other animals or suffer diseases, it might end up starving to death.

So is that humane? Not in my book. I say it's much more humane to put them down, release them from this life on Earth, save them from a lot deeper prolonged suffering and let them get onto the next life, where it might be better for them.

Oh, don't worry, we'll make more...long as there are puppy mills and animals running around lose to procreate we will never run out of animals and there also will be no end to their suffering.

Do I talk the talk or walk the walk?

I used to have a big ol' German Shepherd named Ted, a black and tan, a beautiful dog full of energy and spirit even though he was already into his middle years before I was blessed with his presence. Unfortunately a few years later he lost the use of his rear legs and couldn't use them anymore.

But that didn't make any difference to him, he still tried to follow me everywhere, dragging his hind legs in the dirt until they had large bloody sores on them. I wasn't from a wealthy family and we couldn't afford to take him to the vet though I knew those sores hurt him. We'd bandage him up best we could but he would scrape the bandages off when he tried to follow us.

It pained me greatly to see him like that. I loved that dog. That's why one day I petted him for a few minutes, asked him to forgive me and then I shot him in the head.

At that time it was the most humane way available to me to end his suffering and to this day it is one of my biggest regrets. But I know in my heart I did him the best that I could at the time.

And I know that I would do it again if I had to.

So perhaps we might think before we vilify others for what, on the surface, looks to be cruel and inhumane. I don't always agree with PETA's line, but in this case I think they are doing the animals a favor.

That's a point, Star -- which animals are they putting down? Are they healthy, robust creatures or those who were so badly abused that they live in consistent trauma or pain -- such as chickens who where kept in cages so small that they actually grew around the bars.

Second good point Star........why do people do things that encourage such abuse? Anyone who knows of a puppy mill and doesn't report it is an abuser. You can't turn your head to such activity and call your own hands clean. Never buy an animal other than from a shelter, the breeder themselves (so you can see living conditions) or from an owner who just needs to find an animal a new home. If you want an exotic animal, think long and hard about whether than animal really should be in a domestic environment in the first place.......there would be much less poaching and much less stripping an area clean of species if people would think about what is being done before they think of their own trivial little whims.

This has been in the news every year since 2003. They consistently kill over 70% of the animals they get because they don't bother finding new homes for them. PeTA does not "believe in pets", and as such won't adopt them out... So precisely where the hell are these animals meant to go?

Never mind this hypocrisy though, as there are "humane reason" arguments for killing with phenobarb.
What you should be worried about is there insistence on not using animals for medical research or creation of drugs, and that people that need those drugs should either find another way of manufacturing them, or just die like they're meant to. Two of their board members happen to be insulin dependent... Now do some research on where that stuff comes from.
Yeah, their reason is that their lives are needed to fight for the animals (not mentioning the fact that other fanatical PeTA members could easily do the job as well as their own hypocritical arses could).

Hey, that infamous animal abuser Michael Vick thinks he's still worth 10 Mil $ a year in the NFL.

That's if anyone will hire the convict scum. Quite frankly, I'd prefer he be attacked by a pack of rabid dogs.

Go to Peta's website and they admit they euthanise and even have a blog post explaining why they euthanise (sp?)

I didn't even bother to read it, but this is new news to me.

The whole organization is an oxymoron.

Don't kill animals, be a vegetarian, but it's okay for THEM to kill animals?!

What's going on, that is so weird and contradictory. What's their motive, to get $$$ from animal lovers?

I thought peta was some animal loving obsessed group, but now I know the truth about them.

I didn't read the article and don't care for drudge report either but being someone who is into politics and non-profits etc and have seen what many do, PETA is just a bunch of crazies. There for awhile they had some legitimate people who actually cared but now there mostly all pretty crazy and more anarchist mindsets than anything.

Have you seen or heard an animal that is screaming for their life? I heard one a pig Screaming for her life I was in the province that time and I've seen a pig and I've seen how brutally they kill it, the slaughterer hit it in the head and the pig was screaming so loudly,

If Peta thinks rats are as important as humans, why don't they euthanize humans? I can think of a few that should be euthanized
