The biggest problem I have with animal rights people is how do they know what animals want?
I'm sure chickens don't want to be fried and eaten but what about the wolf that eats them in the wild? Is he denying the chicken his rights when he eats him? I mean couldn't the wolf forage and eat plants instead of chickens ? Should we protest the woods because of the animal killings that go on there? Animal on animal crime! It has to stop !!!

cute...but that argument misses the point...I'm not responsible for the wolf's behavior, or your's for that matter...I am responsible for mine and you for your's. Just cause a wolf painfully kills a rabbit, chicken etc, that doesn't excuse me if I do the same. I won't argue that PETA takes extreme measures, some of which I oppose...but they are also doing a lot of good! I'm not saying that anyone has to agree with PETA...just don't use that as a justification for ignoring the abuse that occurs. If more folks took active roles in animal rescue, political movements that demand protective legislation etc, PETA wouldn't be necessary. I eat meat, it a natural thing imo for humans...but that meat can be obtained humanely just as pets can receive humane treatment etc. All I'm saying is that the problem is abusive behavior, not PETA's behavior in response. People have every right to speak out about PETA's more aggressive practices, but please keep the real problem in mind.
