>.> I'm sure everyone has heard of PETA, and there are probably a few fools who think they are for the world and all that junk. But seriously, PETA has got to be the worst group out there... They only seem to exist for publicity for celebrities.
Did you know that right know they are trying to sue seaworld for whale slavery? That's right, they are suing seaworld for whale slavery XDDDD
PETA never researches into what they do. They are against so many things that actually do the animals good, and never realise it, making them look stupid, which in the end they are.
A while back they had some nude compain against teh removing of skin from a shjeep behind. Claiming it was cruel and should be banned.
You want to know why this practice is done?
Because it prevents much LARGER issues that cause a slow painful death. You see, the wool on teh back of a sheep collects feaces, which atracts flies. Flies then lay their eggs, which turn into maggots. The sheep becomes fly blown.

Tell me, what is more cruel. A quick cut to get rid of skin and prevent these future issues, or allowing the sheep to die slowly in such a way?
To me, PETA is FOR animal abuse, not against it. They do this through stupidly camaigning against things that do animals no harm and can be good for them.
(And yes, we are searching for a better way to keep sheep clear of the issues without cutting into the skin, but it has to be done on a large scale, and farmers need to be able to afford the option too. And we are not just going to stop until a better option is found, it doesn't work that way.)
Yes, at the moment there RE better options. But people just can't AFFORD IT. Those people don'tr want their sheep to become flyblown, but can't afford to be bankrupt wither. No matter how much you think farmers should be rolling in teh dough they aren't, they sell their product cheap, it's teh brands and such that sell it all for a high price so they reel in a big profit.
