PETA KIlls 89% of the Animals Placed in Their Care
"Despite its $36 million budget, PETA employees make little effort to find homes for the thousands of animals they kill every year. PETA President Ingrid Newkirk previously indicated to The Virginian-Pilot that the animal rights group could stop killing pets, but it would mean cutting down on press..."
So what does it matter what I ate?
You'd be more comfortable sticking to your ridiculous preconceptions that I eat baby seal hearts with a heaping side of souls of the poor (stuffed in a pita, of course.).
I swear, I order it so much that the local deli is going to make it a regular item on the menu and name it after me!
I am comfortable with my conclusions about them and about my purposefully self-identified right-leaning sensibilities, I stick by both.
Thank you for your opinion.
Now back to my medium rare Ribeye with sauteed mushrooms.
PETA does much more than talk. They are criminals, sometimes violent criminals. check out the article I posted to Lucky.
I do not care for ribeye, I like the fillet part of a porterhouse. ;)
As does my wife, must be a 'girl' thing.
Hello bobdanby. My dinner today was vegetarian as is usual. Was yours?
I oppose mis-treatment of animals. I contribute to various animal welfare groups.
What I detest is posturing by the moral bankrupts who actually do more harm than good.
The organization does not deserve serious consideration considering its actions, which often are criminal in nature. The destruction of property, the interruption of commerce, trespassing on private property, thug behavior.
Here is a good article on point:

1. Animals learn from experience and from each other.
2. That they do not think is an arrogant statement, the existence of thought in animals has not been falsified.
3. Infliction of pain on animals is resisted by the animal, to call this instinctive rather than thinking is tendacious. The same pseudo logic can be (has been) applied to humans of other races or cultures.
4. Self awareness in some animals has been shown. eg. recognizing their own images in a mirror.
5. Basing the right to life etc. on thinking can be an excuse for cruelty, a better word is sentience -an awareness of life.
Points above have just been invented by me and should be taken with care especially by those who want a UN animal rights commission with wide ranging powers. (!)
Side thought-
There is a woman, Temple Grandin, who designs abattoirs. She has shown that cruelty in the use of animals for food can be much reduced.
Ahh such wonderful liberal feelings, gets you every time.
