Animals over people in war?
This pic is of Ingrid Newkirk, head of PETA. From what I have gathered, she puts all animals ahead of people. Her comments and actions, over the years seem to reinforce this. How screwed up is that? Her own species must take a back seat to lesser creatures. Intresting eh?
Read this excerpt from one of PETA's latest news letters.
"With no end in sight to the violence in the Middle East, you might be shocked to learn that the Canadian government may be leaving some Canadians behind. That’s right—it appears that the Canadian government may be abandoning Canadian animal companions in war-torn Lebanon, possibly refusing citizens’ attempts to evacuate with their animals. Left behind, these animals could starve and die in the chaos. We need your help to urge Prime Minister Stephen Harper to ensure that animals are included in Canada’s evacuation provisions.
Can you see the concern for her fellow human beings? Can you see her lack of knowledge of the Canadian situation? Perhaps she is unaware that the Canadian military has had severe cutbacks in funding from the last 3 consecutive governments and can barely pull off the evacuation of its citizens due to lack of equipment. People are taking priority here, not pets and livestock.
Sorry, but if there is room for one more person....you can say goodbye to several cats and dogs.
If PETA is so concerned why don't they dig deep into their pockets, use the money they scammed from their supporters, and go and resucue the animals themselves?
This is a war and the people are the concern of any governing body first and foremost. If there is time/resources maybe then they can load a boat up with animals, send them on a long and stressful journey, pay for to quarantine them (once they arrive to ensure there are no diseases being brought back) and other feel good projects. I doubt it will happen as it would waste preciouos dollars that can be used to help the people.
I wonder if any PETA supporters are among those trapped in Lebanon? Would they try to send their animals ahead of themselves or would natural survival instincts kick in and would they just get on the boat, happy to be alive? A normal person would just get on the boat. A PETA suppoorter...I am not so sure about.
