PETA organized protests to stop these stupid radiation experiments on spider monkeys. The purpose is to determine how astronauts would fare on the way to Mars. We can't even get out of Afghanistan and we're going to Mars. Give me an effing break.

The protest happened on Wednesday. I'm late on this one. But it's worth noting that someone out there took some action on this gruesome story. And that's what I like about PETA and why I recently became a member for the first time. They are fast, organized, committed and they get attention.

Be careful if you cross the feral cat freaks – they might protest your business, sue you, and drive you to suicide. Such was the sad fate of a New York City veterinarian who refused to release a stray cat she treated back to a feral cat freak who planned to release the cat back into a feral cat colony.

Not at all, they are very right to protest, and I have no issue with the farmers – we all share the same enemy, our own President. Protest indeed!

The animal rights movement is (rightly) closely associated with protesting things like factory farming, dogfighting, etc…basically, the mistreatment of animals. The simple fact is this; by protesting the removal of harmful non-native species, they are supporting the unnecessary deaths and even extinction of many species.

People who protest our proposed hunt are trying to strip rights from the hunting public. Anyone who protests this hunt is making an assault on the American way, on our right to harvest our native wildlife—a right that we have held since the first colonist fired a blunderbuss in what was to be America.

When some birds start to feel better, they stay mellow and allow you to do what you have to do without much protest. In order to minimize handling, any sort of medical treatment needed is done then, as well. When birds are down and out, this is not a problem. Others, not so much.

From the press release: “To characterize protest and speech as terrorist activities is ludicrous,” said Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) cooperating attorney Matthew Strugar. The AETA is so broad and unclear it could be used to suppress lawful protests and boycotts by any activists across the spectrum, no matter what the issue.

The first time could be forgiven but he kept doing it despite our protests. His lack of knowledge was just annoying, but the third and worst problem was his failure to grasp the concept of binoculars. Consequently, he would drive too close to any bird party we came across. We glimpsed a lot of presumably good birds flying away from us.
