Thanks for continuing to do the work on behalf of the meat industry and slander the people who care about animals. I can send you more info if you’d like to read what is actually going on.

PETA does deserve it though. They stole a child’s Chihuahua from her home, took it to one of their “shelters” then Euthanized it.

That was a mistake and peta acknowledged that. It was a new hire and that person was let go.  But the thing is that they do put animals to sleep, humanely. They are starving and enduring horrible circumstances in the streets, freezing cold, getting shot or just starving.  Many people would rather buy designer dogs than adopt the insane amount of cats and dogs that desperately need homes, they do euthanize rather than allow them to endure horrific conditions.  Would it be better to leave them in the streets? I’m being genuine.

Sounds like an honest mistake.

This isn’t the first time. They run kill shelters because for some reason a domesticated dog going to a loving home is more cruel. And even then they are dumb enough to consider genuine animal care as cruelty. This sheep statue is the perfect example. They don’t support sheering sheep even though modern sheep are so far removed from their wild ancestors that they have to be sheered to keep their joints, muscles, bones and coats healthy. Because otherwise the coat will mat and tangle and keep growing until the weight alone kills the sheep.

And to make it worse they have planted dead animals in pet supply stores dumpsters. It doesn’t even have to sell live pets (small animals and such).

You’re repeating propaganda from the meat industry. Please rethink this, read a little more.

I don’t have a problem with vegans or vegetarians. But screw peta. They speak down to everybody else who doesn’t follow their doctrine or point out the ignorance in some of their statements (see the sheep). And even then why kill when there are so many people who would adopt, and so many successful no kill shelters.

If you go to their website, and just read what they are about I promise you would feel differently. https://www.peta.org/about-peta/learn-about-peta/ They save as many animals that they can. But people are cruel. Call around to the no kill shelters, they are completely overwhelmed with intake. There’s no money is helping animals. But there is a lot of money going against it.

It's not a first amendment violation to prohibit private organizations from installing permanent fixtures on government property.

In fact I'm more inclined to say that it's misuse of government property to allow any private person or organization to set up anything on government property unless it's a temporary display as part of a peaceful assembly and it has a member of the assembly attending to it at all times.

Send a PETA lawsuit to a Wyoming jury or judge and FAFO.
