Come on, they kill the inmates anyways. And yes, I know it is unpopular- but do you realize what you have to do to get on death row in the first place? And they could have a say in it. IT's certainly not any worse than doing it to an animal who has never hurt anyone.
It's not pretty much all drugs. It is all of them I'm sure. It used to be the best way, but with technology being what it is, people should be able to find better ways to figure out if a drug is going to cure cancer or kill people.
And frankly, I really, really don't care if other people are vegeatrians or meat eaters or if they work in a lab that tests on animals. Everyone has their own moral compa** and I do what mine says and let others do what theirs say. But, if I feel someone has specious reasoning, I have to point it out.
Yeah, it's unpopular. Yeah, we know what it takes to be put on deathrow.
Do you know how many people it would take to do one study? There aren't enough. Even if it was an idea you could use, which it isn't. |  | |

I am a vegitarian myself and an animal rights actavist.
Could someone explain to me why so many people say it's wrong?
I have heard a very few stories about how they payed people to shoot a kangaroo, and then blamed it on farmers.
But if they where making so much of this up, how do you explain how chickens are treated? Did PETA spend millions of dollars going state to state building chicken houses and filling each one with thousands of chickens? Then stuffing all those thousands of chickens into batted cages, 8 to a small cage, forcing them to all get bruised up? Then PETA would go and hire workers and make them torture these animals?
Of course not! They would need million and millions of dollars for each state! And we all know that PETA is no Bill Gates.
So please tell me your veiw, I would love to learn somethings I haven't heard.
My arguement with PETA is they don't go about things the right way. I remember a few years ago they broke into a laboratory and let loose 100's of mink. They then went on to kill several hundred rabbits in the wild which in turn had a detrimental affect on foxes, birds of prey etc. I am all for animal rights (I volunteer for an animal rescue and once had to steal a dog from under the noses of the biggest gang in Birmingham) but I dont agree with acting on impulse and only making things worse.
Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c**t... me. | | | |

A few years back, PETA spent a large sum of money on a giant refridgerator. There are some people who think that the only logical explanation is that they bought it to store it's victims. Now, PETA helps animals all over the world. They help animals get food, water, and medicine. Do these people ever stop to think that some of that might need to be chilled?

PETA Kills Animals -- And It's A Felony
Wednesday, June 22, 2005
Authorities in Ahoskie, North Carolina dropped a disturbing bombshell yesterday with the news that they had charged two employees of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty. PETA's Andrew Cook and Adria Hinkle were arrested late Wednesday night after police saw them dump bags containing seven dead puppies and 11 other dead animals in a grocery store's dumpster. Their PETA-owned van, seized by police, contained another 13 animal bodies. Ahoskie's police chief told reporters: "We've been investigating animal cruelty and illegal disposal of dead animals within our city for the last four weeks" -- roughly the same period of time in which our popular PetaKillsAnimals.com website and giant Times Square billboard have been making news.
The animal-control officer responsible for the county where Cook and Hinkle were arrested told the Associated Press that PETA had picked up the animals just a few hours earlier. He added that PETA's employees "told him they were picking up the dogs to take them back to Norfolk where they would find them good homes."
Instead, the animals wound up being treated in a decidedly unethical fashion. This morning the Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald began distributing a grisly photograph showing a police detective in hazmat garb removing a puppy carca** from a garbage bag found in the now-infamous dumpster.
Last night WAVY-TV's coverage in Norfolk included heartbreaking details from the manager of the supermarket whose dumpster became an impromptu pet cemetery. "They just slung the doors [open] and started throwing dogs ... beautiful cats. I saw a [dead] beagle last week that was pregnant ... last week it was 23 or 24 dogs ... it's happened to us nine times ... they drove straight from there, straight here, and disposed of the dogs in 30 seconds."
Authorities told WNCT-TV in Greenville, NC that they've discovered more than 70 dead animals in the last month that may be connected to PETA. WKTR-TV reported today that Cook and Hinkle are out on bond, "thanks to the President of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals."
In a story that eerily resembles the current charges facing PETA's employees, the Associated Press reported on April 8 that an additional 150 euthanized dogs were found in rural Virginia, apparently dumped in trash bags near a riverbank. The Scott County, Virginia Sheriff is investigating.
I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions. | | | |
