PETA= People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Without delving into all the comments I COULD say about them, I will mention this. It's a good idea, it's certainly a good cause, but it's taken WAAAAAAAAAY to far. Abuse of animals and everything is a terrible thing, but when you try and give room and board for chickens, monkeys, and etc your going too far.Rex Dark said:What's next? Death penalty for killing flies? I'd be charged as a serial killer, or whatever Hitler would be charged with if he hadn't committed suicide... Lucky for me I don't live in US.
Also: What's PETA? Police of Evil and Troublesome Ants? (Yes, I'm to lazy to check Google or Wikipedia on this.)
Not flaming you but I, being an American, believe that the general mass of christians (or at least the ones I know) are educated enough to understand a statement like that. They were not saying anything about religion or religious leanings they were only making a reference to Buddha because he is known more for his caring for the animal kingdom than Jesus was.SenseOfTumour said:Oh and PETA just lost a whole bunch of their US support with that line, for mentioning Buddha...woem said:What is your source for saying PETA is on him for this? As far as I can see this is their official reaction [http://blog.peta.org/archives/2009/06/obama_and_the_f.php]:
So really they're not making a big deal out of this.Believe it or not, we've actually been contacted by multiple media outlets wanting to know PETA's official response to the executive insect execution.
In a nutshell, our position is this: He isn't the Buddha, he's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act.
You mean PETA doesn't love the baby Jesus? Well, I'm gonna go support the guys that quirt shampoo in kittens eyes then, they love Jesus.
(Just toying with you, American Escapists, I do feel as a whole America's quite a heavily Christian country tho!)
I'm sure you're not talking about the organization that tried to get Ben & Jerry's to make their ice cream with human breast milk. Because they're obviously levelheaded.bernthalbob616 said:PETA
