You have GOT to be kidding me.

EXACTLY!

If their tactics can make our treatment of animals just a little more humane, then I say they are a success. We will always use animals for our needs, but it would be nice if we could minimize their pain and discomfort while we are at it.

Instead of calling Pico stupid, why don't you explain what is wrong with the idea of minimizing an animal's pain and discomfort while still using it?

Or do you think we should go out of our way to cause animals pain while using them? "Hey cow, it's slaughter time, so instead of just shooting a bolt through your forehead, I'm going to use a belt sander to grind your nose down until I reach your brain. Gotta maximize the pain, you know."

I never called her stupid. Only that I thought she was smarter than to think that the terrorist actions of PETA should be in any way supported. If it were not for animals much of the medical research that you and or your family either benefit from now or will benefit from in the future was dependent on that research. Like it or not, that is the way it is done.

Yea, and that is how they slaughter the cow. And most of us still eat a steak or a good burger and enjoy eating it.
