Fucktards at PETA are at it again

Well, it didn't take long for me to find this gem. I was tipped about this PETA commercial, seen below.


Now, let me just say, that I cant stand PETA. I admit that I have a bias against them, I think they care more about animals than they do about people. Plus, complete animal liberation, yeah right. Maybe if there is a George Washington inspired bovine revolution, maybe ill re-consider that position, but probably not (actually with a bovine revolution, I will probably eat more cattle to 'keep them in check,' so to the cattle I say 'bring it on, t-bones and rump roasts for all!')

I digress, back to PETA. I did some super sleuthing, and found an article done in the San Francisco Chronicle, see here.   The article is a little old, but its from a reputable paper and the sources are pretty sound.  

There are a couple of money quotes in this article that I want to comment on.

"The Center for Consumer Freedom, which represents the food industry, a frequent target of PETA campaigns, released data filed by PETA with the state of Virginia that shows PETA has killed more than 10,000 animals from 1998 to 2003. "In 2003, PETA euthanized over 85 percent of the animals it took in," said a press release from the lobby, "finding adoptive homes for just 14 percent. By comparison, the Norfolk (Va.) SPCA found adoptive homes for 73 percent of its animals and Virginia Beach SPCA adopted out 66 percent."

and 

"That's right. PETA assails other parties for killing animals for food or research. Then it kills animals -- but for really important reasons, such as running out of room."

So PETA kills animals (in fact the animals are safer if PETA doesn't adopt them).  Good on them.  Way to stick to your principles.  Way to stand up for what you believe and see it through to the end and not have to compromise on anything.  Props to Ingrid Newkirk for doing a stellar job, maintaining integrity in face of adversity, and showing intrepid leadership.  

So, to sum it up.  No matter where you get your dog from, Lassie is going to get 'offed' and little Timmy will move on.   

PS - Another money quote from the article, "I am opposed to having children. Having a purebred human baby is like having a purebred dog; it's nothing but vanity, human vanity." Ingrid.

Ingrid, from what I hear, there is a pretty good donkey show done in Tijuana.  If you don't want an all human baby, well then, this maybe your best option.
