Comments on: PETA Is At It Again http://deceiver.com/2008/02/13/peta-is-at-it-again/ The two-faced and famous have something new to worry about.

So if we selectively breed our dogs then we're playing god, but us finding the girl (or guy) we love and marrying them and having a kid or 9 isn't? Your selecting the girl you like the most and passing on your genes; sounds like selective breeding to me. You're being awfully lax in the way you throw around the term "Playing god" on the internet.

The Humane Society of the United States is just PETA with a bigger bank account. Run by vegans. Anti-hunting, anti-medical-research, anti-meat, anti-circus, anti-leather, etc. Anne — You’re not serious. The Humane Society of the United States is just PETA with a bigger bank account.

I find the lies that are told about PETA interesting in light of the fact that ample information that refutes the people who try to trash PETA is available. I guess the liars assume people won't do the research -- most of the time, all it takes is a simple Google ssearch to get dicument facts that show the lies for what they are. And for those of you who have a knee-jerk reaction to PETA, then check out the Humane Society of the United States. They campaign against puppy mills and large-scale breeding. They also stand up for ethical care of farm animals and have very clear facts showing the brutal craziness of the fur industry. It's funny how many people resent having to think of the welfare of something other than themselves and thier own immediate whims and needs.

Those of you supporting dog shows and breeders are completely responsible for the overpopulation problem and have no right to complain about euthanasia. Take a little responsibility for your actions and realize that you're just as complicit as the breeder's themselves. And I hope none of you are against stem-cell research because it's "playing God"...what do you think you're doing with selective breeding? Come on people.

I have shown dogs since I was seven years old, first in 4-H and then at AKC shows. Though I have been fortunate enough to not fall prey to their crimes, I have heard so very many horror stories. As a result, I always take extra precautions to protect myself and my dogs. My pets are my children and I would be beyond devastated if something horrible like this happened to one of them. As a previous poster noted, they have been known to turn dogs loose from shows in the middle of busy cities, which inevitably leads to dead and injured animals. They also have a history of poisoning show dogs in their crates, claiming that "a dead dog is better than a caged dog." Well hello @$$holes, if you knew anything about dogs in their natural state, you would know that wild dogs live in dens. Thus, once a dog is accustomed to their crate, as most show dogs are, it's like a safe haven for them. Also, dog shows are hardly "slavery" for dogs, as they claim. Most dogs love dog shows; what dog wouldn't be thrilled to go hang out with 500-1000 of their buddies, sniff butts and chase tails all day, and be fed some of the best treats a dog could hope for (my dogs get Little Smokies sausages in the ring)? Sure, there are people in any group who will take something good and abuse it, but the vast majority of show dogs are treated BETTER than a lot of children in this country. Their idea of not confining animals and just letting them all be free may sound great, but it's not reasonable or realistic. Animals should be treated with dignity and respect, but they are not humans and domestic animals are not able to fed for themselves in the world of today. You wouldn't turn a class full of pre-schoolers loose to be free and wild on their own without any supervision or external human care. Children would get hurt and/or become ill if abandoned, so how can PeTA expect domestic animals to be able to care for themselves in the city without the same tragic result? That's just plain UNethical treatment of animals! People need to know about the reality of these extremists so they will stop pouring money on them. Until idiots like this are gone (possibly never), I will certainly be taking extra care to protect my babies. If anything ever did happen to my dogs at the hands of these people, you can bet I'll be going to jail for assault too! I would also take advantage of the fact that I work in the legal system and know several attorneys, as I'll do everything I can to sue the pants off of them and draw public attention to these tragedies. Down with PeTA, up with REAL animal rights. I’m so glad to see that people are taking note of the fact that PeTA is a scary extremist group.

Shame on you for wanting a new car -- there are tons of old ones just taking up space in landfills, leaching lead-based paint into the water table. I'm just saying ... Besides, some people breed dogs for "show" (not that I understand that world, but it's no crazier than some of my own hobbies...)

BUT I think you should go to an animal shelter first too. Why buy a dog for $1500 when a perfectly loyal, happy, mutt is just waiting in some shelter. Get that one for $100. Then give the other 1400 to the shelter. I can not stand peta. BUT I think you should go to an animal shelter first too.

What a bunch of retards. Eat a hamburger, get a life. Next time I see a PeTA shirt I'm spraying you with bitter apple. When you treat dogs like humans you give me permission to treat you like a naughty dog. Their entire campaign proves why they relate so well to animals, they aren't fit for polite society and clearly people hate them. Bleh, PeTA.
