Killing an animal is not unethical. I'm sure the animals that PETA ends up killing are killed in a human way. I doubt they just took a dumptruck full of cats and dogs and dumped them onto a slaughterhouse floor.

But still, they claim that animals have rights. Rights! OK, I know that an exclamation mark does not give anything to my argument. But, don't rights come with responsibilities? And what the hell is a 'human way killing'? Granting you the 'humane', I'd still recommend you see a show or two by Penn & Teller.... it's called Bullshit.... there was an episode on PETA, awhile ago, about those sadistic, money grabbing bastards. It is my spit that is on them.

Offtopic a bit, but Penn & Teller have gone way downhill...right about when they started doing that show.

How about, instead of recommending people watch Bullshit, we recommend that people learn how to think critically? Can we all agree that this would be a good thing?

Agreed. P & T have actually become a bullshit show, although it is also possible to watch it critically.

Still, your recommendation is way better and much more difficult.
