True Colors

<a href="http://www.consumerfreedom.com/news_detail.cfm/headline/3212" >Colorado Governor: PETA “A Bunch Of Losers,” “Frauds”</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>As many as 340,000 cows and steers have been left stranded by southeastern Colorado's most recent snowstorm, and National Guard units are helping ranchers in a frantic bid to save the freezing animals. Faced with 15-foot snowdrifts, rescuers are airlifting bales of hay and hoping for the best. But as Coloradans are learning, the wealthy People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) isn't about to lift a finger. Not forthose animals — the ones destined to be flame-broiled, grilled, or roasted. Appearing on Denver radio station KRFX yesterday morning, Colorado Governor Bill Owens spoke for all of us. PETA, he declared, are "a bunch of losers" and "frauds".</blockquote><br />n<br />nPETA is out there showing their true colors. The bunch that tells us they save animals, won't lift a finger to help the cattle stranded without feed in the Midwest. This is "ethical?" I don't think so. While they have every right to oppose how these animals are used, shouldn't they be trying to save their lives instead of watching them die a slow horrible death? <br />n<br />nWhen will people realize PETA isn't about saving animals, it's about money, power, and control.<br />n<br />nWho else is showing their true colors? Humane Society of the United States has also stated they will not help the cattle in the Midwest. Quite the Humane treatment, isn't it?<br />n<br />n<strong>The problem is that no ethical system has ever achieved consensus. Ethical systems are completely unlike mathematics or science. This is a source of concern. Daniel Dennett</strong><br />n<br />nHat tip to <a href="http://northviewdiary.blogspot.com/">Marianne</a> for this story.
