Re: [Felvtalk] PETA
I don't like PETA either, but the point is made - Check out sanctuaries before sending ANY animal there. Something too few people do.

Despite years of public outrage over its euthanasia program, the animal rights group kills an average of 5.8 pets every day at its Norfolk, VA headquarters.

Re: [Felvtalk] Peta Kills Animals
Me neither. I believe their goal is that animals should not be subjected to the tyranny of human ownership, even though Fluffy and Fido are no more capable of surviving running free than a goldfish (and when they do, usually have about the same lifespan as one). PETA needs to go back about a few million years in the evolutionary process and talk to the cavemen and wolves who buddied up in the first place. I'm not saying that all their causes are bogus -- circuses are cruel, the way we get our meat is unnecessarily brutal, and people should be concerned about those animals too. But yes, they are deeply hypocritical in their treatment of animals that have not run free since Man first picked up a stick and threw it.

PETA does not object to people having pets (owned pet kept inside). They object to people feeding strays or ferals. They round up all the strays and ferals they can and euthanize them.

I understand that feeding ferals without doing anything else for them is irresponsible. But people who speuter and stabilize feral colonies shouldn't have to put up with PETA's arrogance. They are never going to make this a world of all-inside animals, what they should be doing is realizing that rather than killing animals under the excuse -- and it is just that -- that they're saving them from some future agony. Yes, the life of an outside feral can be short, and it hurts me that each and every one doesn't get the love they should be getting, but they should not be deprived of life just to fulfill this inflexible agenda. I helped trap two feral kittens in August, and tamed them down. At the moment one is lying 3 feet from me, and the other is on top of the cat tree. If I were sitting on the couch, one would certainly have come and flopped into my lap, and the other would be pushing my hand for pets. They couldn't be more trusting. It saddens me that PETA is depriving ferals of a chance at a future nice life with someone willing to put in a few months bonding time, or even a nice life being regularly fed in a colony, just because THEY think that all ferals do is suffer and die.

They object to people feeding strays or ferals. They round up all the strays and ferals they can and euthanize them. They also take cats from animal shelters and euthanize them. How absolutely infuriating that they ignored your e-mail and had the audacity to request a donation!

But I simply don't get why they would consider this treatment ethical -- nor how they can justify killing animals by saying they're saving them from future suffering that might never happen -- and in Sharyl's case, would NOT have happened. These people need slapping down.
