PeTA...

Once again, they voice their hatred for Pit Bulls and their ignorance.

This time, disguised as support for a shelter who won't adopt them out.

I hate PETA with every ounce of my being.

I am so disappointed that they're largely the reason I fell into animal advocacy. They don't deserve the credit.


Read on.


PETA, cover up! Your agenda is showing! OOPS!

NORFOLK, Va. — Re: "No-adopt rule is unfair for pit bulls, owners.

"

Kudos to the Jackson County Animal Shelter for refusing to adopt out pit bulls. Pit bulls can be loving companions when cared for by kind people. Sadly, they are also the most abused breed of dogs.



Many of the people who acquire pit bulls aren't looking for companionship — they are looking for a status symbol. Pit bulls are often starved and beaten to make them "mean" and to train them to attack people and other animals, or they are used as "guard" dogs — chained and virtually forgotten, lucky to get any scrap of food that is tossed at them. To prevent future instances of abuse, pit bulls — and, considering the massive overpopulation problem, dogs and cats of any breed — should be spayed or neutered.



Not only can the dogs themselves be dangerous, their "trainers" often are as well — violence toward animals is strongly linked to other crimes, including the drug trade and violent crimes against people.



Experts agree that it is the severity of the abuse, not the species of the victim, that matters.



We can help keep animals and our communities safe by reporting suspected cruelty to animals without delay.

>:(I am so with you on this topic! I don't think there is another organization that frustrates me more. One of the problems is they have done an incredible job of recruiting celebrities to support them, and I can't help but think that most of them really have no clue of the scope of their abuse. I even had to stop using the makeup that I love so dearly because they put PETA on their latest web site (it's Smash Box if anyone else uses it). There has to be some way that the REAL PETA can be revealed. ???

I think slowly but surely people are being educated. The problem is, some people don't WANT to be. And they are attracted to the drama that PeTA creates and its in your face tactics. PeTA is good at getting emotions raging. I've read several books and seen the recent docu on Ingrid Newkirk and even knowing what a I know, it's easy to get sucked into the message they send to the general public, especially if you are already someone concerned about animal rights/welfare. You have to dig deeper, understand animal rights in theory, and also seek out the less-publicized campaigns and things PeTA does - then they start taking on a darker aura.

I just don't get people sometimes....they are all up in arms over 'discovering' that PeTA is pro BSL and does not want animals to be kept as pets, but I'm thinking, "Ummm, it's a fundamentalist animal rights group, WHAT else did you EXPECT??!?" Sadly, too many people just don't research who they support and what orgs they give money to.

Maybe this "trainer" should send Miss NewKOOK a video of my beaten, trained to kill dog therapist.

She is actually a very sick person that somehow gained some power.

Yes, I think Newkirk is sick - she does not strike me as a balanced or stable person. AT ALL.
