as i was doing some afternoon reading i ran across some website that led me to another website ….and… to make long story short i ended up on PETA’s “don’t take the kids to circus” website. (it was all downhill from there)

only in America do people have time and money to finance and organize these idiotic campaigns.
To avoid misunderstandings , let me preface this post by saying that i love this country and the freedom of speech. This freedom of speech and the mere existence of these [anti and pro] groups is actually part of what makes this country great.
Every individual no matter what their beliefs and convictions are, is entitled to his or her opinion, and to exercise that right, heres mine…

Not to say that all of PETA’s campaigns and efforts are as ridiculous as this one, but i find this particular idea a very ignorant one. Feel free to read what it says on this site, but my reaction to this is: “nonsense”.
I love animals just like all the other civilized (sane?) people. But this going a little too far.
PETA’s main argument on that page is that “Circuses chain‚ cage‚ and hurt animals.” and i tend to disagree with that.
Of course, there is animal cruelty that goes on in circuses, just as there is cruelty that goes on in animal shelters and in homes of so-called “loving pet owners”, but generally people that dedicate their lives to working with animals, be it circus, zoo or any other establishment that deals with captive animals tend to actually like what they are doing.. So to imply that circuses hurt animals is very ignorant.

I grew up with animals, i took care of them, i loved them and eventually i saw these very animals go through the typical course of domestic animal life (ie: they ended up on our table). But seeing animals die to feed our family didn’t make me a psychopath (although some may argue it may be too early to tell:).
PETA, on their site, suggests that because children identify with animals, seeing them in circus will make children want to go and hurt them outside of circus. Well that’s just as ridiculous as federline’s “rap career”.
It seems obvious to me that if we would concentrate in teaching family values in schools, educate the numerous racial groups to be more tolerant of each other and so forth we will accomplish a lot more than by not taking kids to circus.

Just as i though that PETA’s website has exhausted all of the ways to be a complete waste of my time i ran across the “Kentucky Friend Cruelty” campaign…. and thought, “wow”

Once again this organization is outdone itself, where also can you see both of these idiots on the same page?
I mean why wouldn’t i take this seriously?
A porn star with a cocaine addiction and bad boob job, and a man that’s been exploiting and perpetuating racial tensions to benefit his pocketbook, both campaigning to make sure chickens are slaughtered properly? Awsome…… Shouldn’t they campaign for chickens to not be slaughtered at all?
As you can imagine i have something to say about this also, but i have to get back to work, so this is the end of my literary marvel.
