peta waits in vain for Queen and Prince Phillip


When Charles and Camilla were visiting Canada last week peta sent out this press release:

For Immediate Release:
November 9, 2009

Contact:
Kathy Nizzari 757-622-7382

Ottawa -- As Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip meet with top Canadian government officials in Ottawa, they should expect an appearance by a PETA member wearing a baby seal costume and protesting Canada's controversial annual seal slaughter. The "seal" will hold a sign that reads, "The EU Got It Right: Stop the Seal Slaughter" The message is a reference to the fact that the European Union has banned seal products--as has the U.S. Among the officials whom the Royals will meet with are Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Governor General Michaele Jean, who ate the bloody, raw heart of a seal killed during this year's massacre:


Well well well, if you're going to protest to the royal couple, you should at least do your research and find out which royal couple is currently on tour in Canada.

If peta was waiting for the Queen and Prince Phillip they would have been sorely disappointed as it is Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall who met with Stephen Harper and Michaelle Jean on Tuesday morning.

More from the endangered owner

Twelve Step Plan To a No Animal Nation: The Animal Rights Agenda

When PETA first came on the scene in the 1980's, the general concensus was "what a bunch of fruitcakes!" The overwhelming majority of animal owners laughed at their nude antics and talk of "Animal Liberation" and "Animal Rights"...INSANE! We ignored them.

We continued on our merry way, going about our day-to-day routines and enjoying our animals and animal related activities. Hunters hunted, fishermen fished, pet owners bought/sold/bred/showed/trained...great advances were made in human and animal medicine.

No worries. Life was good. For now. The ARs told "us" of their plan, their goals...we didn't listen. A nation as great as ours could NEVER allow such lunacy to prevail, right??? NO animal use?, c'mon! NO pets?, "no way!" If only more of us had paid attention to what they were saying...changing the language and playing on human emotion...using "us" to push their socialist agenda : "Guardianship" instead of 'ownership', "don't breed or buy while shelter animals die!", "animals have a right NOT to be eaten!"... Laws were passed while we slept, making it more and more difficult/expensive to own pets...laws were passed villifying hunters...scientists were (and continue to be) ATTACKED for doing important animal medical testing, corporations such as KFC, have been the victims of media- terrorist- tactics aimed at destroying honest businesses...Honestly, if anyone reading this STILL thinks groups like the HSUS are in it for the welfare of the animals, you need a labotomy.

The HSUS is in it FOR THE MONEY. The HSUS and the rest of their ilk are human-haters when you get right down to it. The laws they propose ARE NOT for the benefit of the animals, they are proposed solely for the purpose of promoting their NO ANIMAL USE / VEGAN AGENDA. So, unless, dear readers, you want to become a nation of tofu burgers on the grill on the 4th of July, unless you DO NOT want a choice as to where your next purebred dog comes from...it is way past time to wake up and JOIN THE CRUSADE.

The following 12 Step plan was published in 1987, when the concept of Animal Rights was as foreign as fuzz on a frog's ass. Look at this list VERY CAREFULLY. ( Over the coming weeks, The Endangered Owner will look at each of these steps individually, so check back.)Each and every item on that list is being attacked by PETA and the HSUS. And for all of you pet owners out there that STILL do not believe the Animal Rightists want to end ALL PET BREEDING, read item number 10.


From
“Politics of Animal Liberation”
by Kim Bartlett,
published in ANIMAL AGENDA,
November 1987

1. Abolish by law all animal research
2. Outlaw the use of animals for cosmetic and product testing, classroom demonstration and in weapons development

3. Vegetarian meals should be made available at all public institutions, including schools

4. Eliminate all animal agriculture

5. No herbicides, pesticides or other agricultural chemicals. Outlaw predator control.

6. Transfer enforcement of animal welfare legislation away from the Department of Agriculture

7. Eliminate fur ranching and the use of furs.

8. Prohibit hunting, trapping and fishing.

9. End the international trade in wildlife goods

10. Stop any further breeding of companion animals, including purebred dogs and cats. Spaying and neutering should be subsidized by state and municipal governments. Abolish commerce in animals for the pet trade.

11. End the use of animals in entertainment and sports.

12. Prohibit the genetic manipulation of species.

NOTE: This was written in 1987, long before genetic engineering and cloning.
In this context, “genetic manipulation” means selective breeding”

Cross posting is highly encouraged and welcomed.
Post this message anyplace that it will be read by those folks still unaware of what is happening to our rights and to our culture.

Debunking the myths

This photograph was taken in 2006 on an intensive livestock farm in Canada.
Notice the windows, the bedding, and the snoozing, contented sows.


From peta factsheet
"Factory Farming: Mechanized Madness"


The green pastures and idyllic barnyard scenes of years past, which are still portrayed in children’s books, have been replaced by windowless metal sheds, wire cages, gestation crates, and other confinement systems—what is now known as “factory farming.”

Well peta you hit the nail on the head there "portrayed in children’s books" is exactly where the "green pastures and idyllic barnyard scenes" exist because they never did exist in real life.

Prior to the advancements in technology and the need, driven by an ever increasing population, farming was a very risky business for humans and animals alike. Animals lived in cold draughty buildings or outdoors where they were subject to cold or heat, wind and rain, to predators, and every disease known that blew in with the wind or on visiting animals, humans or vehicles.



Farmed animals have no federal legal protection from horrific abuses that would be illegal if they were inflicted on dogs or cats: neglect, mutilations and drug regimens that cause chronic pain and crippling, transport through all weather extremes, and inhumane slaughter. Yet farmed animals are no less sensitive, intelligent, or capable of feeling pain than are the dogs or cats whom we cherish as companions.

Horrific abuses? Mutilations? Drug regimens? Chronic pain and crippling?

And these things benefit the producer in what way exactly?


Deprivation and Disease
The factory-farming system of modern agriculture strives to produce the most meat, milk, and eggs as quickly and cheaply as possible—and in the smallest amount of space possible.

And guess what? By using the smallest amount of space we achieve the following benefits to society:

Affordable meat products
Affordable poultry products
Better standards of health and care for the animals (compared to pre 1960 farming methods)
Better working conditions for the stockman (compared to pre 1960 farming methods)
More land available for wildlife/human recreation than there would be with less intensive farming methods.
The virtual certainty that global famine will never happen.


Cows, calves, pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, rabbits, and other animals are kept in small cages or stalls, where they are often unable to turn around.

Pigs in some countries are sometimes kept in gestation crates. Layer chickens are sometimes kept in battery cages. Veal calves are kept individually, usually in small huts with an outside area. Rabbits are usually kept in cages.

As for the other animals? Tut,tut,tut, peta. Methinks you exagerate to gain effect.



They are deprived of exercise so that all their energy goes toward producing flesh, eggs, or milk for human consumption. They are fed drugs that fatten them faster, and they are genetically manipulated to grow faster or produce much more milk or eggs than they would naturally.

Oh dear peta, you do come up with some rubbish. Where do you get it from? inbred's warped brain?

Intensively farmed livestock are not fed drugs to fatten them faster. They are fed good, wholesome food that is very expensive. Diets are carefully formulated to meet the needs of the animal. Feeds contain primarily wheat and barley, supplemented with whatever else may be available, such as pulses.



genetically manipulated to grow faster or produce much more milk or eggs than they would naturally?

God give me strength! No. Animals produce the amount of milk, meat or eggs that they produce because the poor producing animals are culled out. There's nothing new about this, its been going on for thousands of years. Farmers have always selected their best animals to produce the next generation.

Peta is narcissistic
Peta is irrational
Peta is not welfare friendly
Peta will continue to criticise and condemn those who genuinely care for animals
Peta will continue to exploit animals for its own benefit

Peta will continue to publish disgracefully and grossly offensive advertising
Peta will use any all animal related news items to push its sick agenda
Peta will continue to push veganism
Peta will continue to use misinformation, gross exaggeration, and downright lies to push its warped agenda
Peta will continue to find any excuse to criticise and discredit anyone in the public eye
Peta will continue to exploit people's emotions
Peta will continue to take money from hard up pensioners and children
Peta's website is not user friendly, but at least they take responsibility for its content
Peta wants the next generation of children to sit on Grandpa's knee and ask, "What's a dog? Grandpa."
