If all sides engaged in class action law suits, it would probably bring a lot of national attention to the issue, and the evidence would finally be settled once and for all by federal or state juridical evidence standards, in the national spotlight. ! That'd be the day... chris ____ " What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature. Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the truth, and for those who do them wrong.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 >> Did anyone happen to catch the Fox News segment last year where >PETA was >> advocating DOGS be fed STEAMED VEGETABLES (!) ? They tested it out >to see if >> the dog preferred steam broccolli to meat, and the dog wouldn't >touch the >> broccoli and went over to the meat. It was hilarious. >> Sorry I missed that one. I make my dogs food and saw how much healthier they were. The I started investigating and found NT. I gave some home made dog food to a fellow with a new pup. He offered it a bowl of kibble and my food (roughly 60% meat 40% vegetables) and the dog sniffed the kibble ate my food and walked away. >> chris >> > >Gosh darn. How funny. I made this really good salad and dog wouldn't >eat it! Dog won't eat grapes, apples or tomatoes either. Don't they >know what is good for them? But contrary to popular belief I saw a >horse one time eat a hamburger. My dogs pull and eat tomatoes off the vine, will eat apples and pears off the ground when we go through an orchard, destroyed the okra plant (good dogs!) and go nuts over fresh grapes, raisins and peanuts, or trail mix in general. Dogs are scavengers, after all, but they are less at home with a vegetarian diet than we are. Total meat consumption for my pack is around 80%. Don't forget the observation of cannibalism (and murder) among chimps! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People Eating Tasty Animals. Sorry, actually it stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Sounds great in theory, but in fact it's a thoroughly disgusting organization. They're against pet ownership, meat eating, animal husbandry, etc. etc. etc. They want us all to wear plastic shoes without a scrap of leather in them, for example, with no regard to what increased plastic consumption would do to the environment -- and therefore to animals. I often wonder whether the organization isn't in some way a sham propped up by commercial interests who would gain if their policies were implemented, but that's just blind speculation. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have remembered. Considering the shenanigans that go on you may well be correct about what's behind the org. Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 Well, while we're talking about PETA's crazy antics, sometime last year or a couple years ago, I forget, PETA wrote to McVeigh and asked him to make his last days meaningful by ceasing to eat meat. He wrote back to them and told them, sorry, but I'm too close to death to care, adding, 'but you might want to try the Unabomber' and gave him his address! That was a laugh too ;-P chris ____ " What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion?
