PETA is a terrorist organisation. Who cares what they say?

Wanker celebrities and hippies it seems.

Fair point

Based on the real science being done by Joe Exotic, I bred a cat and dog and have ended up with a T Rex.

I was hoping for a Yeti and so I am going to try again.

Be sure to poke them with a stick, they love that.

To be fair to the guy, he did have a round-the-clock team that were very good at cleaning the cages and looking after the animals. They were far better off with him than if they were in private hands.

And yeah, strawberry float PETA, the wackos.

I thought in the main they were kept in conditions equal to or if not better than most zoos to be fair. Certainly they were aspects of care they needed to vastly improve on but on balance I think he was doing more good than harm.

His comments about killing every single animal if he gets shut down were disturbing though and made me think he was more a collector than really an animal lover.

Whilst PETA may be good intentioned, sometimes I do think they make wild assumptions of what is best for animals and if their ideal world was followed it would be choas. Not to mention that I'm entirely opposed to some of their methods.

I think he said he'd kill them all because he could make sure they die a painless death rather than give them to PETA or whoever and they die in stress. He said 'Id rather kill them than they do' or something.

Yeah, he says he'd rather have them killed than have other facilities take care of them, because those other facilities would inevitably become over-crowded.

PETA kill like 85% of the animals they "rescue" as it is.

He should release them all into the wild, just to see what happens.

In the south of the USA? Half the population would think it was a miracle sent by God, the other half would try and eat them.

Some guy did that with his 40 or so wild animals in Ohio. The police killed them all except for maybe one or two.

I dont think he actually released them into the wild... Didnt he just let them loose in the streets and shot himself?

Oh yeah I missed the "wild" bit.

They'd probably die as it is, but maybe if they get the right training beforehand they could make it.
