ck's archive: animal welfare checklist

So you're attracted to fuzzy things and think they should have things easy. Without considering that you may well be alive only because of the use of animals in research, you decide that you want to make other people stop hurting the fuzzy things. Now, thanks to some lunatic terrorists, an easy how-to is available:

1. Protest outside the facilities where you think animals are being treated unfairly.
2. Send threatening correspondence and make threatening phone calls to the organization you're protesting.
3. Pick a single person whom you feel represents said organization.
4. Send threatening correspondence and make threatening phone calls to that person.
5. Exhume the body of one of that person's dead relatives (closer in the blood line is better), hold body hostage.
6. Seriously, what the fuck?

Everyone needs to see the episode of Penn & Teller: Bullshit! where in they call bullshit on PETA. among other things, PETA actively encourages this sort of vigilante justice. They also kill most of the animals they "save." Very enlightening program, that one.
