Guest TheMikeSC Report post Posted March 17, 2003 On January 26, Palestinian terrorists loaded a donkey with explosives and detonated it as an Israeli bus approached. This, of course, infuriated PETA --- because they used a donkey. They issued a letter to Arafat, requesting that they no longer use animals in their conflict. When PETA President Ingrid Newkirk was asked why she didn't request the terrorists stop killing people, she said "It's not my business to inject myself into human wars." -=Mike --- apparently, humanity is low on the PETA food chain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest B-X Report post Posted March 17, 2003 God Damn, you have to find something to villanize, don't you? This isn't the worst thing PETA has done, BY FAR. So a donkey blew up, and they protested? THE BASTARDS! Besides, PETA is an animal-rights organization. They are more concerned with animal issues, hence the agenda. Why don't we condemn the Newport 60 and over Bridge club for not speaking out against the killing of Israelis? They have just about as much relevance on the matter as PETA does...

OK, try and comprehend what happened: PETA had NO problem that INNOCENT people were killed. They did not CARE that PEOPLE died. But a DONKEY died and THAT was the biggie. I don't have to "look" for something to villainize --- they provide tons and tons of material that makes my job SO much easier. And, the other groups didn't send letters to Arafat asking him to not use animals in his desire to kill people --- PETA did. -=Mike --- Who will now search for a baby seal to club.

Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted March 17, 2003 Heck, over there a jackass is more valuable than a human life. I bet a donkey can carry more weight than some 15-year old Palestinian. Plus Saddam doesn't have to pay the parents of the donkey $25,000 either after he blows up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tyler McClelland Report post Posted March 18, 2003 Seriously, they protect ANIMAL interests. Thus, they ask for ANIMALS to not be used. I think it's a friggin' given that they don't support the fact that people were killed, but it's not PETA's responsibility to go off and lobby Palestine about terrorism.

Then they should simply shut the fuck up when something like this happens. Christ, if North Korea launches a nuke at the West Coast and kills a few spotted owls, I'm sure Kim Jong Il will get a PETA nastygram for his cruelty to the endangered animal. If PETA doesn't enjoy being portrayed as out-of-touch imbeciles, then they shouldn't go so far out of their way to look so bloody fucking STUPID. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cannot believe I'm actually reading DEFENSES of this idiotic group that will protest the use of animals in the slaughtering of humans, but won't mention the slaughtering of HUMANS whatsoever. Let's pretend that somebody used, say, Microsoft-licensed software to hunt down and kill all dissidents in, say, China. Let's say Bill Gates fired off a letter to the Chinese Premier, asking that they not use Microsoft software to assist them in their persecution of "enemies of the state" --- but didn't utter one word about them killing tons of people. Would you have no problem with Gates' actions? -=Mike --- Who imagines you probably would have a gripe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cannot believe I'm actually reading DEFENSES of this idiotic group that will protest the use of animals in the slaughtering of humans, but won't mention the slaughtering of HUMANS whatsoever. AL QUDS, Jan 26: A donkey carrying a bomb blew up on Sunday just ahead of an Israeli bus carrying soldiers in the West Bank, but caused no casualties, an Israeli settler source said. The source said the bus had braked just before the blast, which was apparently triggered by remote control, near the village of Al Khader in the southern West Bank. The bus was travelling from Al Quds south to the settlement bloc of Gush Etzion. The army halted traffic after the explosion to launch a hunt for the perpetrators, the source said.-AFP Source: DAWN - Internet Edition Save yourself the energy Mike and just shut up.

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted March 19, 2003 Ah, way to COMPLETELY miss the point. How so? You insulted an ANIMAL rights group for taking action against an ANIMAL's death when no human casualties were involved. What's the point? Oh, let me guess... PETA should be lobbying for the Palestinians because they're ANIMALS, right? Did I get the joke? Oh ho ho, you are a funny funny man Mike. Nice try kiddo.

Guest DrTom Report post Posted March 19, 2003 I think his point, Flow, is that the Palestinians intended to use the bomb to blow up a busful of innocent civilians. And instead of staying out of the matter altogether, PETA decided to carp about the fact that a donkey was used to deliver the bomb. NOT that the bomb was deployed with the intention of killing civilians, which is, to anyone with a whit of intelligence, the MUCH larger issue here. The fact that no casualties occurred is fortunate, but ultimately meaningless. Is attempted murder not a crime because the would-be killer didn't succeed?

Guest JMA Report post Posted March 19, 2003 The holocaust comments they made were wrong. But I don't how it is wrong for them to get upset about this. They are, after all, an ANIMAL rights group. They don't want donkeys blown up. But I don't think that means they didn't care whether the people lived or died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted March 19, 2003 They don't want donkeys blown up. But I don't think that means they didn't care whether the people lived or died. But guess how their words and deeds are perceived. A TERRORIST ATTACK was carried out -- thankfully without casualties -- as part of a continuing terror campaign, and they're bitching that a fucking donkey died. This is why there is a great value in silence. A wise maxim applies to the ACLU here: "Better to be silent and thought an idiot than to speak and remove all doubt." They removed all doubt on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted March 19, 2003 Personally, I think PETA was stupid for even writing to Arafat, azif he would care what they had to say anyway. There are a lot better "animal" causes out there to be bringing to people's attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see what you're saying, but don't they have a right to bitch that a donkey died? That's what they do. They're people for the ethical treatment of animals. That's their main priority. Isn't it implied that the terrorist attack was a bad thing for the people? After all, I'm sure members of PETA lost family members in 9/11. It was pretty strange that they wrote to Arafat, though. Just playing devil's advocate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted March 19, 2003 I would just like to add that this is another crime that we can add to the terrorist's list of crimes in the middle east. I'm sure that donkey did not deserve to be blown up. I'm sure it was minding it's own business, carrying it's cargo, happily, when it friggin exploded! This is an outrage. This is like, something from a hot shots movie. or you know, naked gun. Anyways, everyone knows it's sheep that explode not donkeys. Seriously though, I'm sure PETA just assumed that it was a GIVEN that people were killed, and wanted to add to it. I hope anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
