PETA claims Neverland animal abuse
UPI ^ | 1/17/06

(UPI) -- Pop star Michael Jackson is under attack from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for alleged animal cruelty at his California Neverland Ranch.

PETA has asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to investigation conditions on the Santa Barbara, Calif., estate where it claims Jackson's pets have been living in squalor since he moved Bahrain in June, MSNBC's "The Scoop" reported Tuesday.

"Photos make it clear that the animals are being held in what can only be described as cruel conditions," PETA spokeswoman Lisa Wathne told Britain's Mirror. "They're abysmal, little more than holding cells. Jackson must close this place and relocate the animals to an accredited zoo or sanctuary."

Jackson's camp has declined to comment on the allegation.

Thank goodness that is all there was, I was thinking of a different height stepladder at each stall when I read the headlines.

So, I take it PETA is cool with Michael plying his young playmates with Jesus juice and readying them for multiple games of hap-slappy as long as the pets have clean cages?

Think how much more credibilty Jacko would have if his nose still looked like this. BTW, Jacko and Bubbles are no longer on speaking terms. Seriously. I am dying to know what happened there.

PETA vs. MJ

I hate these threads. Who does one side with?

Everyone in my office is giving me dirty looks, wondering what I was laughing so loud about . . .

You really want the whole thing to just be over for the sake of the chimp.

I've seen this article here and there, but have yet to see any photos. I want to see emaciated elephants, covered in poo. I want to see dried out chimp carcasses deflating in the sun (also covered in poo). Where are those photos?

I read that cover. I demand my fish and chips. And if the Sun won't comply, I'm holding you responsible.

"PETA claims Neverland animal abuse"

The jokes were just too numerous to count. I had to leave the water cooler after someone mentioned "shredded tweat."

My thought is PETA and Michael Jackson would make for a good sitcom.

You don't. Just sit back and enjoy the fight, and hope they both lose.
