PETA: yet more insanity

[ChynaRose]

I'm surprised about the initial backlash against the puppy body bags. It was harsh but true. Buying dogs instead of adopting is pretty much killing a dog in a shelter. Until the strays are under control people shouldn't buy dogs, its idiotic.

And what did PETA do to insure that the people who called that they told off/guilted didn't get their dog from a shelter? I had a shelter dog (until old age and illness took her from me), and if I had found that add and called the company I would've been treated to the same guilt trip/telling off as someone who bought theirs from a reputable breeder or a pet shop.

Too Sexy Chicken & Triple-X PETA Website

PETA thinks this picture of a chicken is too sexy to be put into the newspapers - never mind they use sex to try to get people to join them and not eat animals

PETA is launching its own porn site to get the message out about the abuse of animals and to remind people to neuter/spay their animals and their other various messages

Another reason I refuse to support PETA. They are just utterly ridiculous.

Personally.. I like when the attractive girls paint themselves and stand mostly naked in cages outside of KFC. This insipires me to eat my chicken bacon sandwich outside

Mary Beth Sweetland is a nutjob who loves to be contentious and sees nothing wrong with calling her organization "ethical" while killing healthy animals. She has a lot of agendas and helping animals is NOT one of them. If people knew her real history they would quietly tiptoe away as far as possible and hope her diabetes progresses quickly.

She has, however, done a world of good by exposing lab experimentation and torture, something that no one had done before. If some extremists hadn't gone in and done some filming we would still be like the three monkeys and not see, hear, or speak of the torture to lab animals. It's branched out to abuses on factory farms and that's helped many animals as well. I'm not her fan and I'd love to donate her to a lab, but I can admit the good that has come of some of the craziness.

As for dogs, I rescue and currently have 4, all special needs. I've lost two in the last year when the things that happened to them in the past finally caught up with them. I love mutts and don't mind "special needs" because I like the challenge, but I'd think hard about mixing a special needs dog with small children. I'm anti-breeding unless it is someone who is doing it on a small scale to produce healthy dogs who conform to breed standards. No one should be allowed to breed just because they have a male and female.

If you want a special breed check out the many breed specific rescues. You can get great second-hand dogs there as well as at shelters. If you have to have a puppy find a good breeder and expect to pay. You won't spend as much as on a poorly-bred mill dog that you'd get at a pet store and you will get a good companion.

Support rescue, support anti-cruelty laws, support anti-breed ban laws. Animals enrich our lives. It's our responsibility to enrich theirs.

I first heard about this on the latest radio dead air wtfiwwy live broadcast (soon to be up on thatguywiththeglasses no doubt)

Porn and images of animal cruelty (as relayed in their take on it not looked at other articles for what kinda porn, the one I read just said they were doing it) make for a great combination.

I forsee erictile disfuncions cured only by working in a slaughter house and beheading a goat to wear its head as you get jiggy with you SO perhaps still wearing the bloody apron and wilding the machette.
