PETA! UGH!
I've seen PETA try to do some pretty outlandish things, all in the name of helping animals. Some things are unreasonable, backward thinking, and even terroristic at times. It surprises me it has two million members and continues to grow.
With all the “Swine Flu” scares going around now, PETA is using it to try to convince states such as IL and UT to stop creating new factory farms. I quote from their website “going vegetarian is the best action that any individual can take to prevent animalborne diseases”. They want the US government to stop factory farming completely.
Other things they have done include asking sports teams to drop live animal mascots, and companies with ads featuring animals, to scrap them and vow to PETA never to use animals again.
This is the article that triggered my post, it has to do with the band, The Pet Shop Boys. PETA Europe sent a letter requesting the name change because of the cruelty it alleges takes place in the pet trade. They would like the new band name to be “Rescue Shelter Boys”. This change will "encourage your millions of fans to consider giving a home to an abandoned or unwanted animal from an animal shelter".
So, if I have this straight, PETA is against using animals for meat, clothing, experimenting on, entertainment or abusing in any way, but they are OK with owning them as pets? They have even argued with landlords for equal-opportunity when it comes to allowing them to live there. Can someone help me out with this? This is containing animals, for a person's own enjoyment. They could be running wild and free like an animal should be.
UGH! Their views and logic are so skewed at times, it frustrates me just to read things like this.

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 07/09/2009 - 21:20.Animal cruelty is banned by our laws and many are already punished in disobeying it and they avail installment loans for the bail. But the fact that they are making animals as pet is a demure way of animal cruelty. I agree that animals should be set free in the wild but with the present situation in our environment, would you think that these animals can survive in the wild? I agree to you on some points but try to think about it. Those endangered animals who are set free in the wild are now gone.
