Surely that one should be up on a murder charge...

Stunts like this only reduce the credibility of the organisation that starts it.

Can't believe a judge is even considering this.

What next, ban on meat as this is murder, pet ban as it's slavery, ban on police dogs as it's slave labour, no sterilisation as animals have a right to have young, no forced insemination of farm animals as it is rape.

Does P.E.T.A have any credibility left, I wonder?

It seems that one whale is living up to it's name "killer whale".

[Regiment]

Why does an organisation fighting for the right for people to eat tasty animals care if the killer whales are performing at sea world, surely it be easier to capture and feed up on them in the wild? Orca goes well with chips and beans for anyone looking for serving suggestions.

This!

Try looking into PETAs animal adoption centres, they're not for animal adoption they;re for euthanisation.

Huge amounts more euthanisation than other nearby shelters, I refuse to believe that 97% of the animals handed over to PETA are too sick to be helped.

I've heard some bad things about p.e.t.a regarding putting down pitbulls which are just family pets, someone in peta obviously didn't like the breed....

Anyway, i have been to these shows at seaworld a few times and while they are impressive i can't work out if they are cruel or not.

Obviously i don't see how they train the animals but i do wonder.

Most of the animals are now captive bred, this makes me feel its not cruel in any way as its all they know. The old animals which were taken from the sea have now been in captivity so long it would be cruel to release them.

Seaworld also allegedly do a lot for the conservation of various animals, they are a buisness clearly but it appears that they do their bit to help conserve various species.

Part of me is greatly upset when i see them, but then the other part tells me that if there were no animals kept in captivity then we wouldn't be able to learn about them as easily in order to help them in the future.

I suppose a half hour video could be better than running your finger under each word, otherwise the "can't be arsed" concept falls somewhat flat! Thanks for the link though!
