Comments on: PETA worker fails dognapping 101 http://www.yourish.com/2007/06/27/3362 Cutting straight to the point Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:14:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Tatterdemalian http://www.yourish.com/2007/06/27/3362/comment-page-1#comment-27187 Tatterdemalian Thu, 28 Jun 2007 22:27:11 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2007/06/27/3362#comment-27187 "What can their rationale possibly be?" The ends - convincing people that any form of domestication is cruel to animals - justify any means, including cruelty to the animals they claim to be defending. It's a fairly common motive among psychopaths; they express their own angst over the world's tiny cruelties by committing intentionally exaggerated cruelties. So angry they become that the real world doesn't provide them with comic-book villains they can defeat, that they try to force people into that role in their fantasy worlds, even if it means they must do more horrific things in the real world than anything that ever appeared in the pages of "Sandman." “What can their rationale possibly be?”

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

What can their rationale possibly be? (That is, assuming that they are capable of thinking.) What I don’t get is why PETA even does things like that in the first place.

I'd been planning on spaghetti but after reading this, it's chicken...and the pieces are small, so I am hoping before it was killed the bird was a cute little chick. Of course, these are the people who protested to Arafat when the Palis send a donkey loaded with explosives towards some Israelis. They were outraged...at the cruelty to the donkey. Cruelty to Jews apparently they can live with. I got home late tonight and read this before I made dinner.

PETA routinely picks up animals from shelters, on the pretense of being able to find homes for them, and then quickly kills them and throws them out in whatever convenient trash receptacles are nearby. They often perform their killings in the van on the way home from the shelters.
