More PETA lunatics

A game of cow bingo at Florida Southern College is under fire from animals rights activists because the animal in question might get stressed out by all the people laughing at it, reports the Lakeland Ledger.


In a letter to the president of the college, a PETA cruelty caseworker said it can be emotionally devastating for an animal to be exposed to ridicule. She also objected to the animal being used for entertainment purposes.

"I am told there were a hundred people laughing at [the cow], some children," said PETA's Amy Rhodes. "You don't teach children to ridicule animals or degrade them because they may do the same to people. It's a dangerous message to send to children."

The school swears that no laxatives were used in the production of the game, and that the cow was cautiously cared for.

The animal was used in a carnival to raise money for women's sports. In the game, squares are marked off on a field and purchased by participants. The winner is the person whose square on which the cow chooses to bestow its manure.

This leter has them suing because they think there are TOO MANY deer. Ok...So there are too many deer, but then if we hunt for them and lower the population they say we are barbaric animals. What a group of screwups.



A copy of PETA’s letter to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Fish and Wildlife follows.



February 14, 2002

Bob McDowell, Director
New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife
P.O. Box 400
Trenton, NJ 08625-0400

Dear Mr. McDowell:

Pursuant to New Jersey state law, this will serve as notice that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Dan Shannon, and Jay Kelly each reserves the right to bring an action for damages and/or injuries sustained in an automobile crash on November 16, 2001. Shortly before 1 o’clock in the morning on that date, while driving a Honda Civic belonging to PETA (and while returning from a PETA campaigning tour) southbound on the New Jersey Turnpike, a deer darted out in front of the car and a collision resulted. The collision occurred at or near mile marker 15.4 in Woolwich Township, Gloucester County. Damage to the car was severe, resulting in a repair bill that exceeded $6,000.00 and loss of use of the car for nearly two months. The total amount of damages is, as yet, unknown.

PETA, Mr. Shannon, and Mr. Kelly believe that this collision, which occurred near the start of New Jersey’s hunting season, was caused by the state’s Department of Environmental Protection Fish and Wildlife Division and the Fish and Game Council as a result of their deer management program, which includes, in certain circumstances, an affirmative effort to increase deer populations. Despite the known dangers an increased deer population poses to motorists in the state, the Division and Council actively assist in increasing the deer population for the purpose of enhancing hunting opportunities and license revenues. The result, as was the case here, is a significant number of auto-deer collisions each year, causing significant injuries and property damage.

The New Jersey State Constitution expressly mandates that the government’s responsibility is the protection, security, and benefit of the people. The state’s deer management program effectively places recreational interests over safety interests, thereby violating the obligations of the government to, above all, act in the best interests of public safety. The constitution further ensures the rights of persons to enjoy and defend their rights to, among other things, life, property, and safety. The deer management program, which exists only for recreational and economic interests, inherently threatens those rights the state constitution guarantees, and is, therefore, unlawful.

Please send any notices to the address listed on this letterhead. Thank you.

Respectfully,

Matthew Penzer
Legal Counsel

A lot of Deer vehicle collisions can be avoided if you drive defensively. Some however are unavoidable. PETA out at 1:00 in the morning, in mixed company,after a "campaiging tour" and in a company vehicle......... come on......I hope they were tested for DUI. Sounds pretty fishy to me.

What???????? A cow stressed and embarrassed by spectators????????
The only things she is looking for are food, a place to relieve herself, and a comfortable place to chew her cud!!!!!!

Peta needs to realize that animals are not like humans.

They need to remember the quote "Man is the only animal that blushes,.............or needs to!"

PETA exists only to generate massive wealth for the few top officials who run this scam .
Animal Liberation Front started out as a hand book for rich , bored , college kids ,so they destroy busineses at stay out of jail . Now they too , are nothing more than a massive cash generator for the few who run it .
Most of what they write is full of lies and hate to stir up the dumb blatherskites who repeat this propaganda .
To bad their parents did not take them fishing at a early age .

If you pay close attention to the numbers of deer killed on the road you will notice an increase in this number at two times in the year. The biggest spike in deer seen dead along the road will be associated with the onset of the rut, which is when most of the hunting is done. The other spike in dear /car accidents happens just proir to the fawn drop in late spring. The mother doe chases away her 1 year old buck fawn, natures way of stopping inbreeding. The young buck now is in search of a new home teritory. I'd like to see peta try to blame this on hunters.

1. PETA putz's can withstand less ridicule than cows.
2. I will forever look at chickens in a different light from now on(the one from my broiler)
