PETA caught the disease--- the one that every special interest group eventually afflicts itself with--- they advance an agenda to an extremity, the Law of Irony sets in, and they become a parody of themselves. At its inception, the notion of acting on behalf of abused animals is a noble one. I support that--- but eating meat is natural. Those canines I have in my mouth aren't there to help me consume taboule salad and pita bread. Therefore, it can be demonstrated, at least in that regard, that meat eating is an act integral to how our bodies have PHYSICALLY evolved. To me, that tends to naturalize the act and, by default, places a "pretty" stubborn fact in the way of PETA's assertion that meat eating is somehow inhumane.

Holy Ish! Jesus ate a can of beans! I am sticking up for Kelly Osbourne! I would hope that Kelly would eat her weight in PETA freaks before one PETA freak could accomplish anything. Kill the baby seals! Kill them by throwing Kelly Osbourne at them! Meat is good to eat!

Donations? so they can buy another company to tell us what we can wear and what we can eat! The donations do not go into saving animals, the donations are used for their own personal gain, buying into companies!

I wish Peta would just keep their mouths shut, and stop trying to push their freaking propaganda on us.

Oh, the delicious irony: PETA goes after Kelly Osbourne, and here I was, all along, laboring under the delusion that PETA came to the DEFENSE of animals. *smirk*

I'm sorry, but this does not make any sense, quote "PETA members, insist colouring her bulldog Piglet's coat in human hair dye poses a threat to the pooch's health." If it is such a threat, then what about when we color our hair, are we in danger too? Think not! So if it is safe for us, then it is safe for her dog! dummy animal rights activists!
