When will "animal rights activists" get one life?

most animal rights activists are insane twats

yup. Do these guys tend to be communications majors? or School of Natural Resources burn-out types?

I threw up a little in my mouth

There's a bloke with a megaphone doing call and response like Snoop Dogg. He says, "Stop the Oxford Animal Lab", and the women (the others are all women) respond, "Stop the Oxford Animal Lab". Sometimes he says, "stop the Oxford torture lab" to mix things up. He recommends we visit their website.

... minutes later ...

A thunderstorm has broken, so they've gone. They walked right past my window, and a woman with a megaphone told me "that I should get of my fat arse and do some real science", then said that I am complicit in this lab because I am an employee of the University. I suppose she's right (on both counts).

Would anyone object if I said that I hated them?

Also, it wouldn't work with a hairy lobster because the fillaments would diffuse the heat into other curled-up dimensions.

PETA Killed 97 Percent of 'Companion Animals' in 2006, According to VDACS

Death toll up to 17,400; overdue report describes PETA's deadliest year ever

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An official report from People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), submitted nine months after a Virginia government agency's deadline, shows that the animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs, cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 pets. The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is calling on PETA to either end its hypocritical angel-of-death program, or stop its senseless condemnation of Americans who believe it's perfectly ethical to use animals for food, clothing, and critical medical research.

Not counting animals PETA held only temporarily in its spay-neuter program, the organization took in 3,061 "companion animals" in 2006, of which it killed 2,981. According to Virginia's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in the state was just 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA killed 97.4 percent of the animals it took in. The organization filed its 2006 report this month, nine months after the VDACS deadline of March 31, 2007.

"Pet lovers should be outraged," said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. "There are thousands of worthwhile animal shelters that deserve Americans' support. PETA is not one of them."

In courtroom testimony last year, a PETA manager acknowledged that her organization maintains a large walk-in freezer for storing dead animals, and that PETA contracts with a Virginia cremation service to dispose of the bodies. In that trial, two PETA employees were convicted of dumping dead animals in a rural North Carolina trash dumpster.

Today in Southampton County, Virginia, another PETA employee will face felony charges in a dog-napping case. Andrea Florence Benoit Harris was arrested in late 2006 for allegedly abducting a hunting dog and attempting to transport it to PETA's Norfolk headquarters.

"PETA raised over $30 million last year," Martosko added, "and it's using that money to kill the only flesh-and-blood animals its employees actually see. The scale of PETA's hypocrisy is simply staggering."

I keep getting surprised that it is news that PETA is fucked up. but that virginia shelter is kind of locally famous for being a death camp

CCF doesn't misrepresent itself half as bad as PETA does
PETA's on the news right now! apparently their latest campaign is about neutering your own children

i agree peta is kinda fucked.

but common, a big tobacco funded front group?? isn't that as disingenuous as you can possibly get

They get the 97% by factoring out the animals reclaimed by their owners.

ha! still a 50% kill rate though

Also lol PETA totally ate the poultry, who are we kidding here?

so do they normally leave a note for the owner when they kidnap people's dogs and cats?

yeah rly soy chicken my balls

searching CNN for PETA stories is awesome:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/05/09/execution.pizza/index.html?iref=newssearch

Cliff Tredway, the director of public relations for the Rescue Mission, said it's more than pizzas that helped that shelter.

"It's the story of a guy whose execution translated into a generous act," he said. "It's people donating to other people they don't know.

"It's about a group of people who society often writes off getting a pizza party today."

ahahaha
