They also put their misguided members in grave danger. I was on a private land elk hunt in colorado and the fucking idiots were walking around in thick scrub brush with antlers and elk pelts draped over themselves.... The guide wanted to shoot the idiot for the hell of it, but he lost his nerve... A lot of guys wouldnt have chickened out - and not a damn thing could have been done to any hunter who shot one as they were on private land, moving around in the brush looking like a game animal.... I wonder if these fucking idiots stop to think of exactly how much risk they are putting their moron followers in? If they knew anything about hunting they would know that you see the antlers in the brush and then move the scope down for an appropriately colored patch of fur to take the shoulder / neck shot. You hardly ever see the whole elk, just a patch of it through the brush...

DA,

I hope the property owners pressed charges against the tresspassers. I can't say what I would have done if I was on that trip, although the words "It started to charge" come to mind.

Have a great night,
Thadius

What?! And to think that I was foolish enough to believe supermodels like Chirsty Turlignton and that bimbo, Pamela Anderson. Maybe they should be put in cages to see how it feels to be treated like the very animals they claimed to care about. Hmmm...now there's an idea!

My sister just sent me this link. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) euthanized 97% of its shelter animals in 2006 and 90% in 2007.

"In 2000, when the Associated Press first noted PETA's Kervorkian-esque tendencies, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk complained that actually taking care of animals costs more than killing them."
From this article.

"Not counting the pets PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during the last five years."
Clicking on the chart on this link will take you to hand written logs by PETA officials, declaring the number of euthanized dogs, cats, and other companion animals.

I've never been a follower of PETA, but this surprised me and I figured I should share.

Yup. Sometimes putting them down is only the option

I'm sorry but I disagree.

Sometimes animals have been abused and so ill that keeping them alive is no kindness. It becomes a quality of life issue.

However, money is also a factor with shelters. Which is why I dearly wish PETA would be stripped of it's donors and the money given to local shelters and the SPCA. But if you have the spare cash laying around to pay for every AIDs infected pet monkey, make homes for dogs with severe food aggression - which makes the shelter legally liable for anyone who is bitten if they adopt them out, and other victims of human abuse and neglect, I'll personally research shelters for you to donate the money to.

As I said above, we take animals to the vets if they are in a state of non-recovery, which I think your pointing at. I suggested a way of re-homing the animals in my previous post, which you seem to have completely over-looked. I do not condone keeping animals alive b/c some people are against putting them down, sometimes it does need to be done. But you came across as saying they should put the animals to sleep b/c they don't have enough room. I do not support peta, and I am not saying we should just give the animals to anyone. If there are aids infected monkeys, then perhaps they could be sent to a monkey welfare/shelter/reserve, where they can receive specialist care. I will apoligise if this is not the case, I have no experience of working with Monkeys, and won't pretend to know what their needs are, or if they can survive the aids virus.
As Maya pointed out, it's not about the money. It's up to the shelter whether they accept the animal or not. If Peta are taking in all animals regardless of space/room, then that needs looking into. As if they didn't do this, they wouldn't need to put so many to sleep.
