Animals are not OURS!!!

[seer]

You have to wonder if it's necessary to fail an intelligence test to be employed by or associated with PETA.

Since PETA believes that they are all the same I wonder which they would choose to save in a bind - the boy or the rat?

Sign of the times...we have become so successful that we have the time to pursue the trivial. This doesn't affect 99.99% of Americans and about the same percentage don't care.

On the other hand, I like the show Battle Bots. I'm wonder how long until the SPCR (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Robots) comes after the show.

Ya know, that show CAN get quite violent!!!

It was April the forty-first
Being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My Barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented Stingray
And it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing
And leave my private life out of it
Okay pal?"

While they were doing that
I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar, a real dive
But I knew the owner
He used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Gil was also down on his luck
Fact is he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar
He poured me the usual

Rusty snail, hold the grunion
Shaken not stirred
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side
Heavy on the mako

I slipped him a fin
On porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids
For the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines
They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna
Salmon Chanted Evening
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail
And she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance for a little fun
You know, piece of Pisces

But she said things I just couldn't fathom
She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure
Boy, could she drink
She drank like a...
She drank a lot

I said "What's your sign"
She said "Aquarium"
I said "Great, let's get tanked"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows"
She threw me that same old line
"Not tonight, I gotta haddock"

And she wasn't kidding either
Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock
I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels

He came over to me and said
"Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here"
What a crab
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said
"A-balone, you're just being shellfish"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil
‘Cause he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke but there he was
Lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel
Kelpless

I said "Forget the cods Gil
This guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me, she said
"Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish
What's your name"
I said "Marlin"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Well, from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble
A case of the clams

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

PETA is known for killing animals in shelters and tossing the bodies in dumpsters after lying to the shelter telling them they would find the animals homes. They think it's better to kill a pet than for it to be a pet.

You have to wonder if it's necessary to fail an intelligence test to be employed by or associated with PETA.

That's what the president and co-founder of PETA was quoted as saying in the August 1, 1986 edition of Washingtonian magazine. PETA's other co-founder Alex Pacheco repeated the "A rat is a pig, is a dog, is a boy" chant during an interview published in Vogue back in 1989.

They see no difference between a human life and that of a rat as can be seen years later when Newkirk repeated this sentiment with a bit of elaboration in the June 22, 2003 edition of The Observer: "Animal liberationists do not separate out the human animal, so there is no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They are all mammals."

I thought boys were snips and snails and puppy dog tails?

I think this is a classic example of rebelling against God, who gave man dominion over the animals. It's the same sick mind that supports the notion that a biological male can become a female.

We had this discussion back in 2015

Been reading on facebook and other places more atrocities by PETA. They claim eating meat is evil, put out comics depicting parents glorifying in butchering animals to scare kids, and claim to be for the "Ethical treatment of animals"

Yet what they really want is to just kill people's pets. They think keeping pets is somehow "cruel" and will use any excuse to kill a pet rather than find it a home. Even shelters that euthanize will attempt to find homes for their animals before resorting to euthanizing. Peta starts out by euthanizing or just plain killing animals it takes in. It even will go so far as to STEAL pets from people and kill them.

Check this out:

http://www.whypetaeuthanizes.org/maya/
On October 18, 2014, in Parksley, VA, PETA stole Maya, a happy and healthy dog, from her porch while her family was out. They killed her that very day.

According to a spokesman for Mayas family, PETA came to the trailer park where the family lives, where most of the residents are Spanish speaking with few resources. The PETA representatives befriended the residents. They got to know who lived where and who had dogs. In fact, they sat with the family on the same porch off which they later took Maya. Waiting until the family was away from the home, PETA employees backed their van up to the porch and threw biscuits to Maya, in an attempt to coax her off her property and therefore give PETA the ability to claim she was a stray dog at large. But Maya refused to stay off the porch and ran back. Thinking that no one was around, one of the employeeswho was later charged with larcenywent onto the property and took Maya.

When the family returned and found their beloved Maya missing, they searched around the neighborhood before checking the video on the surveillance camera. That is when they saw the PETA van on the film and recognized the woman who had come to their house on prior occasions to talk to them about Maya. They called PETA and asked for Mayas return. According to a family spokesperson, PETA claimed it did not have the dog. When PETA was told that its employees had been filmed taking the dog, they hung up. Shortly afterward, a PETA attorney called and informed the family that Maya was dead. PETA had killed her

Animal shelters run by PETA euthanize a much higher percentage of animals than shelters run by other groups. An investigation of PETA run shelters in Virginia found that they kill approximately 85% of the animals within 24 hours and in 2009 less than 1% were adopted or transferred.

In 2009 only 16 of 2317 dogs and cats survived going into a PETA "animal shelter"
In contrast statewide 33,670 of those taken into shelters 56,842 survived

In 2012, even after all the public furor, a newspaper investigation found that they were still killing almost 90% of all the animals dropped off at its national headquarters in Norfolk, Va.

According to Daphna Nachminovitch, PETA’s vice president of cruelty investigations, "Our euthanasia program has never been a secret. This is one of many, many things that we do to alleviate the suffering of animals." So the group that is so staunchly against the wearing of fur and leather, the eating of meat... has no problem whatsoever with committing the wholesale slaughter of animals themselves

The fact is that PETA absolutely hates the idea of people having pets, which might explain why they slaughter those that they get their hands on. PETA is committed to a future in which people would not be able to own pets, claiming on their website that "The selfish desire to possess animals and receive love from them causes immeasurable suffering."

In recent years PETA engages in a great deal of double talk to obfuscate their opposition to pet ownership but in the past they were much more open about it. In "Fettered Kingdoms: An Examination of A Changing Ethic" published by PETA in 1982 the author John Bryant informed readers that:

• Let us allow the dog to disappear from our brick and concrete jungles -- from our firesides, from the leather nooses and chains by which we enslave it. --p.15

• The cat, like the dog, must disappear..... We should cut the domestic cat free from our dominance by neutering, neutering, and more neutering, until our pathetic version of the cat ceases to exist. --p.15

There are many other similar quotes like this:

• As John Bryant has written in his book Fettered Kingdoms, they [pets] are like slaves, even if well-kept slaves. --PETA's Statement on Companion Animals

• Pet ownership is an abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation. --Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, Washingtonian, August 1986

• You don't have to own squirrels and starlings to get enjoyment from them ... One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals. [Dogs] would pursue their natural lives in the wild ... they would have full lives, not wasting at home for someone to come home in the evening and pet them and then sit there and watch TV. --Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, Chicago Daily Herald, March 1, 1990.

• The bottom line is that people don't have the right to manipulate or to breed dogs and cats ... If people want toys they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship they should seek it with their own kind. --Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, "Animals," May/June 1993

But then, perhaps it is more accurate to say that the folks at PETA hates the idea of people other than themselves having pets. Numerous reporters that have gone to their offices to conduct interviews have commented on how many of the employees bring their pets to work with them.

But surely that's just an exception

PETA co-founder and former chairman Alex Pacheco with his... oh dear.
We seem to have a trend here.

Finally, what is especially slimy is that PETA has repeatedly said that "it would have been in the animals' best interests if the institution of 'pet keeping'—i.e., breeding animals to be kept and regarded as 'pets'—never existed" but that responsible pet owners should adopt from pounds or animal shelters." But as we have seen in the "shelters" that PETA controls virtually no animals are allowed to survive long enough to be adopted. This more than anything else reveals what their true agenda is.

We had this discussion back in 1015

Who ARE you? Mossy's younger brother?

[rogue06]

I thought boys were snips and snails and puppy dog tails?

Unless they're pirates then they're spoiled rum and slugs and really icky bugs

We had this discussion back in 1015

Wait... is that a DOG COLLAR on Pacheco's "companion"?

[rogue06]

Wait... is that a DOG COLLAR on Pacheco's "companion"?

Same with the first one of Newkirk's

I have no idea about what you're talking about

[Cow Poke]

I have no idea about what you're talking about

Isn't that true with most of your posting?

[firstfloor]

The truth is that nature is red in tooth and claw and humans are the greatest of all predators. We kill everything in our path. Eventually we will kill ourselves and our God. He won’t mind; we’re just being consistent.
