DIRTY secret indeed!! But, which would you rather have: a. death via lethal injection OR b. death via slaughter house OR c. death under hands of inane pet owner OR d. death due to hunger and waste in the streets?
Its a tough choice...Euthanasia (or any other suitable euphemism ) draws as much criticism as the mistreatment and cruelty towards animals.
People in mangalore call us hypocrites when we put down animals which are terminally ill or carrying a dangerous disease...
People sadly equate a necessary death with undeserved cruel ones .
I'm guessing the above site is sponsored by the slaughter house lobby...
My viewpoint changed after I watched a chilling yet hilarious movie called "Thank You or Not Smoking "...I just dont accept anything at its face value anymore.
I just "picked a fight" with someone over PETA and it's ridiculous!! I'm not even an avid supporter of PETA (I agree on the fur thing and animal testing though - but not on all that vegan harrassment thing) but I just got so miffed at how this guy responded.
And I hate picking fights and I really don't want to be in it. GRRRR. Why can't I be emotionally mature dammit?!
yup ...we should try to develop new technology that would make animal testing obsolete...As it is , dogs and monkeys do not respond in the same way as humans...so stop the cruelty... Fur is obsolete too...Faux fur is the way to go...
And Ms.J , I guess you picked up a fight because you were morally outraged by the insensitivity of this particular person ....
I did that once too....
Some one found sharks disgusting and said that they should end up in soups...And I compared them to nazis ! (I was royally pissed off ! )
well, the guy just lambasted me through and through, and the shame is that i don't have the energy nor the interest to keep on yapping with that close-minded fellow.. who i'm sure is trying to be a good human being in his own way.. aarrrggh. (sorry, i have to vent the angst somewhere where i'll get moral support..) ^_^
At the same time , I think its a waste of time to try to change their stand with logic or argument....these people are truly stubborn , and will resist all attempts to change them.The best course of action would be to ignore these windbags and conserve our own sanity !
Hey , and you will always have my support all the way , all the time !
