This week’s revelation that the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has been the subject of an FBI investigation into the animal rights group’s possible ties to terrorism has stunned many liberals. PETA’s general counsel, Jeff Kerr, called the investigation “shocking and outrageous”, saying “it's an abuse of power by the F.B.I. when groups like Greenpeace and PETA are basically being punished for their social activism."

Two things here. First, how is PETA being punished? They’re being investigated. There’ve been no charges. There’ve been no indictments. They’re not being punished at all.

The rest of the story here...

Highway, I found this quote in the article....

Quote:

Harper’s not the only animal rights extremist with a gift for eloquence. How about this quote from… well, let me wait to tell you who actually said this.
“I think it would be a great thing if, you know, all of these fast-food outlets and these slaughterhouses and these laboratories and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it's perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows, and you know everything else along the line. Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it.”
Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds an awful lot like an endorsement of violence.
But PETA’s non-violent, so that quote couldn’t have come from one of its leaders, right? Wrong. Those are the words of Bruce Friedrich, PETA’s Director of Vegan Outreach.

Wouldn't you know, those vegan's are losing their minds! Maybe if they ate meat, they would get enough proper protein for their brains to function properly.

Wow. Pretty sad. He was a people-and nature lover, yet he was suspected of being part of an eco-terrorism plot? Hmmmm. something smells rotten.

Smells like tofu to me.

Folks thought Ted Bundy was a nice guy too. He confessed to 28 killings, but other estimates indicate that he killed as many as 33 to 100 female victims ...

The "rotten" I'm smelling is someone that suddenly changes stripes after they're caught and feel impending death. I think a jury of his peers has spoken. Don't second-guess them. If he really did find religion and a heart, then his Judge will see that and save his soul. Otherwise.......

How many people do we hear about who found God on death row? I guess if your going to find him that would be the time to do it. As I see it they were arrested, convicted and sentenced for what they did before and what they were like before not what they do now.
