Animal 'Rights' versus Human Rights ( Us vs. PETA )

Animals are for food and entertainment. Period. No PETA kook is going to tell me what I can or can't do to animals.
Before the days of PETA, I'd swerve my car to miss a wild animal, but I don't anymore. I just refer to it as "balance." For every animal PETA saves at the expense of a human, my car makes it "even up".

You lend them too much credit. PETA euthanizes animals. You don't think they would waste any money on the fuzzies, do you? PETA uses fuzzy animals to tug at the heart strings to GET MORE MONEY.

Now there is a money trail worthy of tracking!

PETA has national headquarters in Norfolk,Virginia. They were exposed not too long ago in a pet scam.

Basically the way it worked was they would enourage pet owners to drop their pets off (folks who were moving or for whatever reason could no longer care for their animals) and promised to find a loving home for them.

They would also give them a line about needing money to feed them etc. and solicit donations.

After a few days they would kill the animals and pocket the money.

The Norfolk SPCA reported that PETA was killing more animals than they(the SPCA)were.

So, you might want to go back to swerving.

There's a big billboard in Times Square saying 'peta kills animals'. I saw it for myself too.

I would sure like to see that on the evening news!

I thought it was a joke but it wasn't.
