Cool, if dogs go back to the wild, they will lose thier protected status as companion thingies(it's illegal to eat dog meat in the usa now)..And we can get hunting permits and have em for lunch-yummy.

Actually PETA would ban all hunting and fishing as well. In their world everyone would be a vegan since all animal products would be forbidden.

Ewwwwww that's disgusting! But I thought McNuggets were already fake.

As for the overcrowded shelters with unwanted animals, I vote that they all go back to gassing. They can use the fur to make coats and such and send the meat to starving countries.

Are you fan of Michael Vick,perhaps?

Thanks for all this information! - I am a veggie and strong animal right believer but...

In my opinion from what I have read the PETA organization is too animal centric and would help animals much more by being less human negative, I grew up feeling much of this anti-human sentiment in my teens and early 20's (seeing how horribly cruel humanity can be and being extremely affected by this) but I have since seen that humans also have incredible potential for doing good, expressing love and the only species that imo can express 'humanity' to each other and animals. They suffer from the chronic affliction of believing humanity as bad, and nothing de-empowers people more than saying they are somehow already wrong or bad (unless its to a sub, then they can appreciate the attention!).

But considering en-masse we completely objectify (not in the sub's fantasy's way) animals, denying them any rights or meaning for their pain, putting it down to meaningless phrases like 'its natural' 'animals eat meat' 'they don't feel real emotions' etc (considering we kill and make suffer billions of animals each year) these phrases hold no meaning and just say 'i am not big enough to care'. So I can understand what motivates PETA, but I think its more important to value humanity collectively first, then take positive life affirming absolutely none violent action after.

on a side note - imo
The word 'Terrorist' has become propaganda (its the new evil, bad 'other') and has so much unquestioned conitation it leads us into a collective sheep, witch hunt, mentality that is not helpful to anybody's safety or our security. Its so easy to label, condemn and fight 'the enemy', like we have done for 20,000 years, but as this world gets smaller and closer together, we gotta start learning we are all in this together yes those that do bad things are accountable, but we are responsible too for knowing better, and being open enough to communicate this in positive ways.

Thanks again.
