Finaly you swallow the mink farmers lie that they cant survive in the wild yet a 1000 did quite successfuly ,I give the depletion of local livestock as proof.Death comes to us all,suffering and exploitation though is not natural.

It’s interesting that so many of you are concerned about the animals when they are hurt in a rescue but not when you eat or wear them or the myriad other ways your lifestyles abuse and torture them. And you are so damn pro-human except for your schadenfreude when activists get killed. Hypocrites, the lot of you.

That’s because you actually seem to give a damn about the animals.

I am actually very much in favor of humane treatment of animals. We should not cause them to suffer unnecessarily. However, I think it’s ok to eat them, and make things from their fur and skin. But there are humane methods of slaughter that we could be practicing better than we do.

I approve of using animals for scientific research in cases where that research is important. Testing whether eye shadow irritates a rabbit’s eye doesn’t qualify as “important” in my book — but I also would not make such testing illegal.

Animals do not have rights the way people have rights. They are property and should be able to be used as such. But we should also extend compassion to them, and be thankful for the benefits they provide us both in life and in death. This is only right, considering that it’s part of the natural order of things.

But I cannot and will not support a movement that demonizes human beings, and seeks to “protect” animals at the expense of human civilization (and in many cases, human life and safety).

PETA makes people like me look bad. I am not a heartless animal murderer who gets her jollies by torturing animals to death and then eating them while donning a coat of their bloody pelts.

I’m just an average person who likes to eat meat and wear leather. It’s normal for humans to eat meat. Our bodies are designed for it, and we even require certain proteins that are typically only found in sufficient quantities in meat.

It would be wasteful to not use as much of the animal as possible, so I see no particuarly reason to avoid using the skin as well, and any other part of the carcass that might yield something useful.

Money Quote:
From Rick Genovese, fire marshal for West Covina (township in LA):
“There’s a lot more pollutants from the fire than the vehicles would pollute during their lifetime,” he said. “There’s hundreds of tons of pollutants that were spilled off.”

What really galls me about them is their criminal belief that it’s ok to trash the property of those who carry out activities they detest. I wonder if they would feel the same way if someone thrashed an ALF/ELF office, not that I’m advocating that.
