PETA members "get it"

[recycling goddess]

it makes me very sad that people are being lied to. on this page:

http://www.petakillsanimals.com/Trial_Day9.cfm

it shows testimony of them taking a man's pet dog and 'finding it a better home'. they got a leash, took a picture of the dog in front of a nice house and sent it to the guy saying his dog was in a good home... and after the pic, they put it to sleep.

that is so wrong... i don't care who the organization is... that is wrong.

Indeed, a healthy diet and most have excersize programs and regular interaction with humans. Death is so much more appealing than that.

Strange logic.

Hmm not sure where your from. But even in WA where Im at, you may see the people walking them. But it makes you wonder.. hmm a 6x4 kennel al day, in the company of other mad barking dogs. Dogs arent meant to be kenneled most of the day. Also, with short amount of volunteers and people working there, dogs hardly have enough walks suitable for them... Death is much better for them then a life in a kennel, and being over populated by the ever increasing unwanted cats and dogs. AT the ANimal shelter near us, they rarely get walked or run. They have a small 20ft long x 10ft wide kennel, and go out there three times a day.. for 15mins.. yeah.. what a Halocaust IMO...
Dogs aremeant to run many many miles a day and all in the wild.. in cpativity, they dont get enough excersize as they would. And being caged isnt that fun. And regular interactions? R-ight. Surrounded by 30+ dogs, and only 10, MAYBE 10 people actually volunteering/working there to hndled, them.. the only interaction they get is form barking dogs, and MAYBE few people sticking their hands in the kennel to try and pet the poor thing... what fun...

Wow if that is true. Those PETA people are horrible...But I dont like that site as I find many of it false.. cant really tell if its true or not. Thats sad though .

but isn't the point... that they are looking for a home for these dogs? it's not for them to live there for 15 years... but to find a 'forever loving' home.

Neither are people. Yet, oddly enough, prison inmates aren't jumping at the opportunity for a death sentence.

For starters, who exactly deemed PETA, or you, the final arbitrator of whether death or a certain lifestyle is better? If you were in prison would you want to die? They live in very similar conditions. Yet most of them would just as soon live.

Dogs aren't wild animals... we have bred them to domestication. A dog wouldn't survive "in the wild" very long at all. When people throw their dogs in the street, do you often see them running for the forest? Nope.

And yes, they get fed daily and most animal shelters are very good at what they do, even with the limited funding and assistance. And if your shelter is having a lot of problems with volunteers, perhaps you should offer your assistance, instead of advocating we kill them all.

If you go to PeTA's website they tell you that they are against pet ownership, eating meat, drinking milk, eating honey, killing bugs, using leather, etc etc.. I do all of these things, why would I support them? If they had their way, there would be no captive ball pythons.. remember that.

On the note of race horses.. I own a former race horse. He is an old boy, and he's very healthy. His legs are not fragile.. I assure you.

You CANNOT compare prison inmates to the innocent. The people of the Halocaust were innocent and many of them after being there for even less then a year looked forward to death! Not a few yrs of torture. That you can compare if you compare humans and animals. Animal are innocent, and dont understand why they are born in misery and hurt and pain and death...

Prison vs innocent is different... Guilty vs Innocent is different... They may be similar, but the conscience is different of the living being.

A dog liek any other animal doesnt understand being born in cages. Its better to die then spend a liftime in misery and suffering and wondering "Why?"

I have. But dont have time. I dont try and associate myself to animals that will either be put to death. I get very attached and I hurt emotionally and physically. I rehab wild animals. I volunteer and soon work at this Wildlife rescue. We raise aniamsl abck to health, then rehab them

This is very interesting. Its good to learn what others opinion are on this subject. I for one think if people fixed their animals their wouldnt be so many animals on the streets. And then shelsters can be used for what they should be used, animals that are lost and waiting to be tooken to their homes THAT would be awesome

i'm guessing the bold parts are your words c&t?

honestly, do you believe that the animals in shelters are tortured?

please... refrain from bringing in horrific events life the holocaust... i'm sure the people who survived it would be saddened to see you saying their experience was a like a dog in a animal shelter

there is nothing wrong with choosing to become vegan... but killing animals is not being vegan. the point of being vegan is to save the life of other living things.

and... if people choose to eat meat, that is their choice as well. no one should be 'forced' either way.
