Mercedes Benzene Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 PETA is one of my least favorite organizations on the face of Earth.I wonder: do they care when fish eat other fish? Shouldn't they condemn every animal on this earth because of their position in the food chain?Disgusting.

Australian wool producers have agreed to phase out the practice by 2010, but the Department of Agriculture and Food says it will ban mulesing from April. Mulesing involves removing the wrinkly skin from the rear of a sheep to reduce the likelihood of fly-strike. The practice is controversial internationally, and is considered cruel by animal rights organisations such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The WA Department of Agriculture and Food (DAFWA) announced at Wagin Woolorama on Friday that it would ban the mulesing of sheep on all it's research stations from the 1st of April. Roger O'Dwyer, Executive Director of Industry and Rural Services for DAFWA says the department needs to show leadership on the issue and develop a viable alternative to mulesing before the 2010 deadline. Max Watts from the WA Farmers Federation says he's pleased the Department has shown leadership on the issue. "We've assured our retailers that we'll come up with a suitable alternative and we will be able to cease mulesing by 2010," he says.ABC Great Southern - DAFWA stops mulesing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelangelica Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I just posted something similar to this in So long and thanks for all the fishthread.You really need to look at some of this PETA campaign it it is very offensive. It seems targeted to children and I think it is evil. http://www.fishinghurts.com/Sea KittensPETA's anti-fishing campaign renaming fish "sea kittens" so people willl stop eating them.Perhaps this is a good thing. It is so outrageous that it will get people talking about an important issue. But to manipulate and brainwash children is beyond the pale. It is despicable.You have to read the Bedtime Story Book at their Sea Kittens site to believe it.I think it is totally over the top and I would not let young, impressionable children read it.SEEPETA // Save the Sea Kittens // Sea Kitten StoriesPETA // Save the Sea Kittens // Sea Kitten Stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
