i think SQUARE PEG has exhibited the ignorance espoused by most humans writing here. peta kills animals just to do it. what drivel.
in the usa last year, roughly 5 million dogs and cats were killed simply because there weren't enough homes for them. if you think 'no-kill' shelters do not kill animals, you're wrong.
peta operates an open admission shelter. the animals they take in are usually the ones that no one wants and are
too hurt or sick to save. rather than let them die slowly and painfully, they put them down. it would be cruel not to do so. guess square peg thinks it's ok to let dogs and cats die slow and very painful deaths.
peta has one goal, to stop animal torture/abuse. i understand that most of you love your 'pets' . i understand that you don't care what happens to any other non-human animal. that sort of cruel indifference to the pain and suffering of feeling creatures just baffles me.
it's really disappointing to see luvsterriors has joined with the humans who think torturing 'some' animals is ok.
please, attack me. it would hurt me deeply to know that writers like monkey and tim-tex and kinkslover did not despise me. anyone who thinks 'some' animal torture is ok is certainly my enemy.
i support peta, in defense of animals, last chance for animals, farm sanctuary and others. i support local open and limited admission shelters. i participate in puppy mill busts, hoarder raids, and simple protests. i'm giving everything i own to animal related causes when i decide to die. because of my interactions with most humans and their cruelty towards other living creatures, i would destroy what i have before i would let humans have it.
who would've thunk there were so many michael vicks on wrong planet?

Are you saying that I think some torture is OK? Well if that's the case then that's totally rubbish, I don't think any torture or abuse to animals is OK. I'm totally against animal cruelty and all for animal rights, but I just don't like PETA. Not liking PETA doesn't make me indifferent to animal welfare and the issues to do with it.
EXACTLY Monkey. I don't particular care much for PETA either.
I support other animal rights organizations like the Protect Seals campaign that Humane Society of the US has. I also support Sea Shepherd. I did watch one episode of Whale Wars and had to change the channel. WAY too much abuse for me to handle.
I read something really sad recently about a circus elephant that used to practice her acts on her own at night to avoid being beaten, it was so depressing. What are your thoughts about the non-human person-hood movement? Some people and groups are advocating giving animals with advanced levels of intelligence and self awareness like elephants, dolphins and apes person status. I'm all for that.
Also, have you seen the documentary cruel camera? On there one organization that is supposed to check that films with animals in them treat the animals properly, actually were really careless with one film. Where these horses were going crazy while filming so all that happened was real. and one horse died while being trampled by the other horses, but the organization actually said the film was acceptable.
