I deeply love animals. I’m looking for the right volunteer opportunity in my area to work with them, especially top-tier carnivores.
That said- you do not screw around with The Word. We are specifically admonished against that. It doesn’t matter what positive effect you think it will have.
No. Just no.

The Holy Bible is the Bible as passed down through each successive generation and not one word of it should be changed for to do so would be committing an unforgivable sacrilege and blasphemy. Wow, I am very impressed. You read the Old Testament in the origial Hebrew and Aramaic, and the New Testament in the original Greek!

Don't worry PETA, you have friends in the right places. After our friends from the National Council of Churches are done with the soon to be released gender and gay friendly bible, they will work on the new animal worship edition.
This is not a joke as many of these churches are welcoming pets to partake in the sacraments and allowing them in worship.

PETA - shove up your smelly Obama.

Why should PETA members care of what is written in the Bible?
The gays are still combing through the Bible to find a quote that could justify their viewpoint on same-sex sex.

They’re two thousand years too late.
It’s already been written.

I like the NASB. The one that gives me the willies is the NIB, and it seems everyone uses it.
As far as the topic is concerned, most of the animals in the OT are discussed as possessions or sacrifices.

PETA and NOW should get together and visit several mosques, and tell them they need to change the Koran.

Forget the animals in the Bible. Torahs are written on an animal. Hah! Take that PETA.
To: RegulatorCountry
Is PETA still the largest organization that euthanizes animals or did they farm that out to a third party after they where exposed?

It may come as a shock to PETA but after Adam and Eve realized they were naked, God made them clothes from animals.
Yep, God Himself made the first fur coat.

PETA is a group of people who practice a false religion of self and animal worship...they have zero input to the Holy Bible of the Creator of those very animals and might as well shut the hell up.
