Not strictly related to PETA, but it made me laugh. It was mentioned in the news recently about how at a local owlery, around a dozen of the birds were released from their cages in the middle of the night by what the police believe to be animal activists. So, the activists release the caged animals, and they fly out and enjoy their freedom, right? Wrong. Because the birds have been raised from eggs, they don't understand how to hunt and fend for themselves. Most of the owls were found the next day cold, hungry, and soaking wet. Had they not been recovered, they would have died of starvation.
And that is why I give hardcore animal activists the ol' Cynic's Eye. Most of the animals they try to 'rescue' depend on humans to survive.
