Default PeTa Crazies Protest Wimbledon

Wimbledon under fire for pigeon cull - Tennis - Yahoo! Sports


In other news, People for the Hatred of Humanity...err...The Ethical Treatment of Animals, have demonstrated just how crazy they are once again. Now they are protesting the Wimbledon because they employ hunters and hawks to eradicate glorified rats with wings, to prevent them from crapping all over, spreading disease. Anti-human ideology.

Wimbledon under fire for pigeon cull

LONDON, June 24 (Reuters) - Wimbledon came under fire from animal activists on Tuesday for using marksmen to shoot down dive-bombing pigeons.

The tournament employs two hawks to scare away pigeons who had become a pest swooping down on Centre Court and distracting players in the middle of tense matches.

But the hawks failed to keep the pigeons away from the players’ lawn and the open-air media restaurant so marksmen were called in.

“The hawks are our first line of deterrent, and by and large they do the job,” Wimbledon spokesman Johnny Perkins said.

“But unfortunately there were one or two areas where the hawks didn’t deter the pigeons, so it was deemed necessary to take a harder approach,” he explained.

The marksmen were summoned by Wimbledon as pigeon droppings on the restaurant tables were thought to be a health hazard.

The decision to call in the marksmen was condemned as “cruel and illegal behaviour” by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) which complained to the tournament organisers and the police.

“Since the use of marksmen to kill pigeons appears to have been carried out as a first, rather than a last resort, and not out of a concern for public health, but rather because the animals were deemed inconvenient by players, you appear to be in clear violation of the law,” PETA vice-president Bruce Friedrich said.
I guess we ought to just let the flying rats take a sht all over, huh? PeTA hates humans. Loves other animals.

When i see the stuff these whackjobs protest over i often wonder, do they not see the news ? Are they completely unaware of things going on the world ? There is imperialist wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are children dying all over the third world from preventable disease, there are refugees in Palestine and Darfur, and too many other real problems to list them all. Yet these people think the fight most worth fighting is cruelty to pigeons. Unbelievable.

I don't believe there is a real sinister agenda. They just are crazy and promote openly the ideology that non-human animals have equal rights as humans. They don't want humans to anything. They believe humans are bad, all other animals are good; any time interests conflict, they usually side with the non-humans. These PETA types are also against culling diseased animal herds, animal vivisection experimentation for drugs, etc. They're unreasonable. What is more ironic, I bet the head of PETA uses medicines derived from animal testing.

Can't kill or harm the animals if they eat your garden.
Can't kill or harm the animals if they attack you.
Can't kill or harm the animals if they crap all over and spread disease.

Can't do much of anything. Can we?

PETA is an animal rights group. It is really, really, really a stretch to try to stereotype liberals (or probably in you mind leftist commies) by that example. It is like listening to ol Doc Dobson say Obama isn't a real Christian after he thought he had exposed SpongeBob and Mr Square Pants as a homosexual conspiracy. Gee whiz, can I stereotype all Republicans by Dobson???

I know that. It's kinda obvious from the name.

Why would I do that? I don't have any problem with Liberals. I vote for Liberals. I think you're confusing me with Southern Man. The only things I agree with him on are Organic and Nuclear. We really actually can't stand each other on anything else. It's more like an alliance of convenience.

Well, most Republicans probably do believe those things to some extent. =D
Have you listened to that crazy nutbar on CNN (Glenn Beck?). He and his followers say all kinds bat**** stuff like that. I am not a Republican. Why would you think I am a Republican?
