The people at PETA are a bunch of assholes. I lost all respect for Bob Barker when I read about him giving $2 million to this organization of douchebags.
True Story.
Weekend before last my girlfriend & I went down to St. Augustine to see Rise Against & Bad Religion, the tickets for which she won a couple of months ago off the local radio station. About half way through Rise Against's set they paused for a minute to give thanks to everyone helping them with the show, roadies, concessions, etc. Every time they'd name someone off they'd get a cheer from the crowd. Apparently, Rise Against are big fans of PETA, who had a booth set up outside of the amphitheater. When they got to thanking PETA, the crowd simply died. No loud cheer. There was a somewhat audible "huh" & people around us were turning their heads to look at each other in disbelief. PETA is very unpopular around these parts. The concert was great, but that part stuck with me & makes me chuckle whenever I think of it.
Im not surprised one bit. PETA made a name for themselves before they even moved to Hampton roads. Now they have their fingers in our government and only the extremists would applaud that. People who own pets are afraid to let them outside for fear that some animal activist will find some kind of law broken and call the cops on them. Its one of the reasons why my father put up a privacy fence around his property. If he wants his pet rabbit and dog to play chase each other, then that is his enjoyment and theirs, and not for someone to call the cops on for "mental anguish" of which ever animal was being chased at the time.
