So should I have my PETA membership revoked????? I'm so confused... :lol:
That's what I couldn't figure out? Sarah, tell us how you really feel about it! Having a hard time making out words as I munch all this delicious lettuce. And post your email to all these hardcore animal rights groups. Being a mod now has really helped boost membership!Mike Schoonbrood said:So should I have my PETA membership revoked?????

Mike's *dogs* have a slave *human*..... just like mine do.Sarah Hall said:LMAO.... you're worse than me: you have 2 SLAVE dogs that you feed ABUSED meat!!! AGGHH!:lol:
Don't you know?? They staged those episodes to shut PETA up, but one of the producers was a super secret undercover PETA agent that leaked the information out so PETA launched an even bigger campaign to try and pass a bill that required all children between the ages of 12 and 16 in certain ZIP codes to participate in the animal rescue efforts, but it turned out this was a violation of child labor laws so the head of PETA was arrested and tried in front of a Jury, but 8 of the Jury members were also super secret undercover PETA agents so he was never convicted.susan tuck said:I remember seeing the Animal Control officers spending a lot of time going in abandoned apartment buildings to rescue pets on a few episodes of "Animal Cops"

My wife's friend's brother raises Huskies in the Northwoods upstate. Really good ones. Those things are a joke to feed--expense, time, etc.--because you have so many dogs.Sarah Hall said:I don't wear animal fur, that is one thing I agree on with PETA. I sure would wear wool if I lived somewhere that it wouldn't be CRAZY to do so, though.
I guess that's the problem (?) with it, and why I'm partially sympathetic to their feelings (if not their positions). If you read a lot of animal ethics stuff, it can be pretty persuasive...that argument you use for not dissecting the cat becomes an argument for not dissecting anything...after all, a cat's a "cat" just because we choose to put value on the cat. A pig can be a heck of a pet, but used in lab experiments. What's the qualititative difference, and is that enough to justify dissecting a pig fetus but not a kitten? Go down that road one way, and you end up throwing fake blood on rich ladies in NYC (which again, I think is pretty cool) or this really horrible incident in 1997.Sarah Hall said:I don't mind leather.... obviously because I have a couch made of it... but I think it's a bit better because we're using the animal for more than it's hide. I did refuse to disect the cat in my advanced anatomy class in high school. People tried to call me a tree-hugger, but I don't think that was that extreme....
