Fired up! Ready to go!
I'm here. I was just surprised at all the PETA threads on this board. I've never seen a PETA protest or even received any of their literature (and even grew up in a big farm town). I was curious as to how they affected people's lives on here since they were such a target of disgust. My mother works for a veterinary clinic, so I will have to ask her if she's had any dealings with them.

Screw Blue
you hit the nail on the fucking head with that! I have been involved with Pheasants Forever since I was 9 years old, and I can easily think of 4 different times that PETA has been at our land, and tried to protest us. They fail to see that we have helped MAINTAIN the animal population, and increased the quality of life for them, instead they see that I shot a Pheasant and it was pretty so they have to be all pissed off. PETA can lick the sweat from my ballsac

There's nothing like the end of winter, the realization that you have to fork out of those stalls, and the smell of defrosting straw and manure to let one know you are alive!
I feel sorry for any kid who hasn't spent some time on a farm. It gives you a perspective about life that you get nowhere else.

For me, the end of winter always meant I didn't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning to break the ice in our sheep's watering troughs or on the coldest days, carry water out to their pen in 5 gallon buckets.

Buckeyes are best
Same goes for Ducks Unlimited: never mind the emphasis on wetlands and wildlife conservation, nor the fact that a person can both respect and eat our feathered friends--PETA simply opposes any organization that treats animals as different or less-important than humans.

I don't recall, has PETA ever shown their face at sweat shops in Vietnam b/c if I recall people are animals as well.

Buckstuckinga,
That is to much. I remember when our pet fuckin Chihuha(however you spell it) that we had for seemed like 500 years, became sick after 14 years. (I hated the fucking dog because it would always bark it's little ass off when I came home late and intoxicated at the age of 19 and my mom would always wake up). Anyway the dog got very sick and my dad refused to take him to the vet and told me he was just going to shoot it. Well I went up and got his .22 that night and let the dog out to go piss and shot the SOB myself.
Now that I am older with daughter and wife and Cocker Spaniel, don't think I can do it to this dog. BTW my father thanked me for getting the job done,
we still laugh about it to this day.

Cockroach-eating contest bugs animal group
Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:53am ET
TORONTO (Reuters) - An animal rights group called Tuesday for a North American theme park operator to cancel a competition in which people will try to break the world cockroach-eating record.
Theme park operator Six Flags Inc, based in New York, is staging the contest as part of a promotion leading up to Halloween in which it is also offering customers free entry or line-jumping advantages if they eat a live Madagascar hissing cockroach.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said it had been flooded with calls from children, adults and even anonymous employees of Six Flags opposing the record-breaking contest and the overall promotion.
"Insects do not deserve to be eaten alive especially for a gratuitous marketing gimmick," PETA spokeswoman Jackie Vergerio told Reuters.
The competition to beat the world cockroach eating record is being held Friday at a Six Flags park in Gurnee, Illinois. Anyone who beats the record will win a season pass for four people for 2007 with VIP queue-jumping status.
Competitors will try to break the current world record, which is held by Ken Edwards of Derbyshire, England, who devoured 36 Madagascar hissing cockroaches in one minute in 2001.
However Six Flags spokesman James Taylor said the only complaints the company had received were from people who did not have the opportunity to sign up and eat a cockroach because
only 12 of its 30 parks in the United States, Canada, and Mexico were participating in the promotion.
Taylor dismissed any health concerns, saying the cockroaches were raised in a sterile environment and were as safe to eat as shrimp or lobster with high nutritional value.
Madagascar hissing cockroaches are large, wingless cockroaches that can grow to between 1.5 to 3 inches.
Taylor said no one who had indulged in this rare delicacy had complained.
"It's something that's supposed to be scary, it's icky, it's gross, it's Halloween fun and it's just one small part of the haunted houses and thrilling rides going on."
