ORIGINAL: Ponyboy7 I agree with most of what Owner59 has said. In fact, euthanasia is not bad in and of itself, and its use the way PETA advocates is also not necessarily bad. However, what I do not like is the deception that PETA uses to further its goals. It is one thing to educate people on controlling animal populations and to implement euthansia protocols to that end. Unfortunately. PETA, through its actions, seems to have decided that deception and illegal activites are neceesary to acheive its goals. There have been documented instances of PETA employees euthanizing an animal within hours of picking it up from its previous owner under the pretense of finding it a new home. This is obtaining property under false pretenses; not only is this immoral, it is illegal. Moreover, PETA gave more than $70,000 to an ALF member after burning down a Michigan state research lab (http://epw.senate.gov/109th/Exhibit_11.pdf). While, some of PETA's points may hold validity, I think PETA's actions have negated any credence PETA might have had. Peta is a far left,radical outfit,and they admit it.If they brake any law,I`m for PETA getting what`s coming. But I don`t want to see swiftboating efforts against PETA,by people who could give two shits about how animals are treated.Namely,the food industry,which BTW,fund CCF,and the PETAKILLSANIMALS.com bullshit. The agenda here, is not to save dogs,far from it.But rather to fight PETA,and their affective anti-meat campaign.CCF and PETAKILLSANIMALS.com are abusing people`s natural sympathy for dogs and cats,and bamboozling folks with a very sophisticated ad campaign. To me,fake outrage is one of the worst types of lie.It`s premeditated,calculated,and nothing more then theatrics. Notice how they want people to stop sending PETA donations? And though they`re fully funded and back-rolled,they have a donations link.Very sophisticated. That aside,PETA makes very valid points. Like, the reason there`s 10 millon dogs and cats killed every year,just in America. One reason is puppy mills and breeders,who could care less how many puppy and kitten souls they bring into this world.As long as they make money,fuck the rest. Not all shelter animals are mixed/mutt strays.Many are products of the breeding industry.Which btw,has been funding anti-PETA efforts for years.
