I think they call that a pig-sticker.

I expected that from Zeeman, Neets or Almitywife

[deeper thoughts]

Huh?:huh:

When the day comes that there are no starving humans, no attempts at genocide, no flyblown disease ridden children, no victims....THEN I will worry about animal "rights


Understand now?

. . . .If you don't think that it's all that bad or that organisations like this just play on our tender sensibilities then click on the link and convince yourself otherwise.

Become aware and become part of the solution.

Or better yet, don't just take PETA's word for it, see "7 Things You Didn't Know About PETA" at the link below:

As a parent, I'm particulary impressed with the sense of "there is no wrong in pursuing the right cause" to justify what they do to children in point 4.

Don't eat the animals. (Eat a PETA activist instead!)

 

[DivePartner1]

Thinking that serious abuses of animals must be a third world problem is utterly delusional.

Good point. See "Shocking Crime Scene Photos" from Peta's treatment of animals.

From huntersunite.com:

In a 1992 report by the NCIB, National Charities Investigation Bureau, PETA spent 42% of its organizational expenses on fundraising. Only 20% on actual research and investigation in to animal cruelty.
More current reports examining PETA's tax filings have shown as little as 1% of PETA's total revenue actually goes directly to helping animals; usually small donations to animal clinics or similar organizations. PETA's 2001 tax filings show some interesting donations:
Compassion Unlimited Plus Action - Bangalore - Donation - $11.11
PETA Research & Education Foundations - Donations $29.16
In Defense of Animals - Donation $71.11
Virginia Police Defense Fund, Norfolk Police Union - Donation - $150
Society for Abolition of Animal Exploitation - Donation - $150
Kalamazoo Animal Liberation League - Donation - $150
Vieques Humane Society - Donation - $25
SNAP - Donation - $50,000
PETA's donations totaled only $206,655.58, but they had a total revenue of almost $14 Million.

PETA spent the following on

PETA TV - Expense - $13,268.84
Electronic equipment, computers, cameras - Expense- $33,869.24
Automobiles - Expense - $148,362.02
SNAP Vehicle - Expense - $150,000.00
Buildings and improvements - Expense - $295,101.60 (After a $195,000 donation of property)
Land - Expense - 94,170.00

Is this where you want your donations to go?

Good research. NCIB is the Gold Standard in evaluating nonprofits. I was digging around for their Form 990, but could not improve on this. Oh, what the heck:
