The folks at PETA are out of control. Sure, they have some legitimate issues, but a lot of their positions are really off the wall and their tactics downright offensive. They recently got all upset about a charity fish tossing contest in Seattle to benefit the fire department. It was based on the fish mongers at Pike Place Market who toss (dead) fish to entertain the customer, who are buying fish from them to eat. It is a local tradition and tourist attraction. The fish are food. The tossing is harmless entertainment and a sales gimmick. Anyway, PETA predictably got all bent out of shape as usual. I think they are not so concerned about animal abuse as they are about getting attention. I don’t know that dead fish need protecting.

It sucks that your kids had to hear the truth at such an early age. Hopefully it will make them become more aware of animal abuse in there early years and promote a life long stance on animal rights.

OK,
I just took my family to the circus in Oakland on 8/15/09. I saw the people handing out papers and carrying signs about the animal abuse. On the way out we were followed into the parking lot by two women who asked my kids if they enjoyed the show. My children responded joyfully that they loved it. Well, these two then went on to tell my 4 year old and my 12 year old how the circus people beat the animal. I told both of them that there was a time and a place and they were in the wrong place. I told both of them that they should focus on what humans do to other humans rather than what people do to animals. I’m not for abuse of any animal but what we do to each other is far worse. Think about it and stop scaring kids, it’s my job to educate them on the issue which I’ve already done and they still wanted to go see the circus.

Okay, I like Shanna. Honest I do. But, how the… um, heck… does anyone, who has grown up in the United States in this day and age, who is in the public eye, who is aware enough about animals to be a vegetarian NOT ALREADY KNOW THAT THE CIRCUS ya know, SUCKS for the animals involved?! I’m just saying…
