44. here we go again with the PETA myths
Edited on Mon Feb-07-05 12:35 AM by Djinn
Every dog, cat, hamster, gerbil, goldfish, etc...would be roaming freely about this country.

total lie - PETA has plenty of info pet-care (they refer to companion animals) so clearly they don't want all pets released

2) Does your child have a pet? Sorry, it must be free.

wrong see above

3) Do you use makeup? Not anymore. Animal testing would be outlawed.

they do not and never have advocated the complete banning of ALL animal testing, they advocate the banning of POINTLESS testing. We already know that shampoo doesn't kill people any reason we need to keep sticking it rabbits eyes? I have a dresser groaning under teh weight of make-up and beauty shit not ONE animal was poked, prodded, starved or injected to make any of it - there are HUNDREDS of cruelty free companies out there.

PETA recognises that many of the tests are obsolete and unnessecary

4) Have you been cured with a drug? Sorry, that won't happen anymore. Testing on humans, not animals, is insane.

please provide a source in whch PETA says they wish to see the banning of ALL animal testing.

5) Do you gamble at the track? Put that slip down, horses are now free to walk the streets.

personally I don't support horse racing but PETA, once again for the hard of comprehension, DO NOT advocate the "freeing" of all animals

6) By the way, we need that seeing eye dog back.

sigh...another outright lie

7) Stop that spaying and neutering Bob Barker.

actually they advocate the spaying of companion animals

8) No sweetie the circus is not in town tonight.

many circuses do not use animals anymore - please explain why it isn't cruel to transport a lion across the country in a cage barely larger than itself?

HOwever PETA only call for an end to CRUELTY, if it were possible to keep wild animals in transit healthily it's be fine

9) I know you love Seaworld honey, but it's closed. Here, have a stick.

again see above

10) Yo, Snoop Dog, those Now and Later Gators will land you in jail.

guess this is a US thing coz I've NO IDEA what you're on about there

11) Sorry Shaq that full length fur just got you ten years.

looks like from here on in they just get stupider and stupider...hey did you hear PETA wants to hunt down everyone that ever ate meat and electrocute them to death....no really I read it on a internet forum
:eyes:
