PETA
Ok, I just finished watching the national spokes person for PETA speak on CNN about the tragic injury and subsequent death of the horse at the KD. This idiot said she cares more about horses in any event in the industry, not to just include racing, than the reputation and livelyhood of the jockey who rode the horse "8 Bells". Someone needs to dig up some dirt on that lady and ruin her livelyhood on nothingness and see how she likes it. PETA people are total idiots and should be considered domestic terrorists.

Didn't we have a PETA nutjob in the cellar a few years ago? She stomped out over something if I remember correctly.

It's heartbreaking to see a champion destroyed. We had a very similar situation here a couple of years back.
While I can understand the perspective of PETA advocates, I disagree with their methods. I'd also like to point out to them that society is what it is because of our reliance on beasts of burden throughout history. Also, what about the fact that many animals used in the sporting arena enjoy their competition and live for the race or the game etc. Sometimes they are injured or die doing the thing they love, just as human athletes do.

While I admire PETA's persistance - and the fact they get people nekkid - I think they are nut jobs. It's a considered opinion.
I'm not giving up my pets and I see no reason to. Domesticated animals have far better lives than feral ones, and if that's due to years of selective breeding then so be it - we can't go back in time. And yes, while I agree wholeheartedly that livestock should be treated with respect I have no intention of not eating them. If I do it will be a personal decision and not influenced by knowing where my meat comes from and how it is raised and slaughtered. I am intelligent enough to research that myself thank you. Also, anyone that values an animal's life above a human's is morally bankrupt. And they only seem to get women nekkid anyway. Sexists.

I will care about animal rights when people start caring about human rights.

Ever since this nasty ad they tried to have aired, I have not liked Peta...Loves animals, obviously hates women. I think women are awesome...so they can go...you know...go do that to themselves..

PETA was founded, and is run by, a woman.

Can't see the ad
![]() All I can read is the bad spelling (on both sides of the argument). A cull is in order!

PeTA was co-founded by Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco. Although I once donated to the group, I withdrew my money when their tactics became unacceptable and they became a force that seemed to serve to further solidify the opposition - the 'animals are ours to do with as we want' factions. PeTA's public image became one of fanaticism and antagonism with no regard for the rights of human animals. That sort of public profile makes all animal rights supporters look bad. And that's not good for the animals.
