Just when I think that I cannot despise the human race any more, something turns up to make me change my mind. OK I know that Richard said that on another topic the other day, but one has to agree with him. The messageboard on the site includes messages like "Hahahahaha no law in killing insects so screw you PETA!", and to my horror there is now an American version of the site. If anyone starts a British version, be warned, I will personally have you dealt with! However, this is not the main crux of why I am writing this.
The most telling point about the whole disgusting affair is not that adolescent boys like to watch things killing each other and animals in pain. That is a done deal. It is one of the more unpleasant facets of our particularly unpleasant species that along with chimpanzees and possibly domestic cats, we are the only species that kills for fun. No, it is the jeering anti-PETA remark that is the most telling thing.
As we reported a few weeks ago, PETA are complete nutcases, but I think that this shows that their insane view of animal rights is actually providing a negative stereotype for people. The very kids that PETA are aiming their programmes at are not only rejecting the increasingly facile message, but throwing the baby out with the bathwater. When the main crux of the high profile animal rights campaigns are facile and idiotic, it is no wonder that animal abuse flourishes,
