First, can anyone confirm the quotes on the above pages?
If they are true, they confirm my theory that AR activists believe everything has a right to live except people. If not, I still think vegetarianism is a choice, not an obligation.

Wait a minute while I run home and release Basil into the woods behind my house so he can starve to death...oh, and I might as well let my dog go at the same time. He has an odd propensity for dashing in front of cars when he's alone by himself outside, so I guess that would just be nature's way of weeding out the unfit, right?
Okay, and that blind guy across the road, he can just forget about his seeing eyedog to guide him. And don't you even THINK about buying your child fish to teach them responsibility for caring for other things...
quote: "[Dogs] would pursue their natural lives in the wild .."
Sorry, to late for that. Too bad PETA wasn't around when Adam and Eve roamed the earth so they could have avoided this whole problem.
quote: "[Animal] Fancies provide an escape from the real world, a sense of purpose in a lot of purposeless lives, a chance to play God by breeding animals, and a chance to play celebrity by showing them."
This also raises the fact that no person in PETA can be Christian either if that's who this person is referring to as "God", as I beleive it says somewhere in Genesis that God made man head over the rest of the animals. (That's right, isn't it?)
I think this is all a huge joke. Where does it start, and where will it end? I want my turkey dinner at Thanksgiving. I wouldn't trade the companionship of my dog for the companionship of most of the people I meet. The house feels empty when he's not there.
Oh, and after I release Basil and Sampson, I think I'll off myself to help the planet out a bit. *rolls her eyes*

Oh, and if all these people think that we should all commit mass suicide to save the planet, why haven't they stepped up and volunteered to be the first? Seems like one of those "do as I say, not as I do" circumstances.
Maybe they're just secretly hoping they can off all the people in the world who are stupid enough to beleive all of this gibberish and then return the wold to it's former state of glory. Oh goody. Let's all drop everything, abandon every single shred of technology ever invented and become rustic farmers living off the land, working our fields by hand of course as we'd not have any oxen to do the plowing for us. How boring does THAT sound? Yeah, someone sign me up. They sound like a bunch of manaical technophobes to me.
Well actually, I'd volunteer to take the big sleep if I couldn't have my computer, cell phone, and digital camera anymore.
Hehehe,,,BTW I'm at work and bored again, s'cuse the ranting, I got 2� hours of sleep last night.

Actually without the existance of humans dogs wouldn't exist, they started out as wolves and got dumber and cuter so they could get table scraps, which is actually not a bad deal, in terms of Evolution. Cats on the other hand are exactly like there wild cousins, they are very lazy when food is abundant, but they work very hard when food is difficult to find, just like cats in wild.

I know the "a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy" quote is real---I've heard her defend it.
In the US, there is ongoing political posturing about hate crimes and hate groups. Anyone who thinks wrongly must be watched, we are told.
Please, Ms Reno, tell me someone is keeping a real close eye on people who look on the bright side of human extinction.
Yes, there are people who hate humans---but not enough to remove themselves from our number as an act of protest. I've heard arguments from those who think EVERY non-human thing has a right to exist, up to [or should I say down to?] bacteria, viruses, AIDS.
since animal-testing hasn't yet produced a drug to cure madness, maybe we need to kill more lab rats.
