PETA: An exercise in delusion
February 4, 2008
An animal rights group called Monday for China to treat rats with kindness and respect, as millions across the nation begin to celebrate the coming Year of the Rat.People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, said it has asked the Chinese government to consider animal welfare laws for rats used in laboratory experiments. The group also recommended a series of guidelines for animals used in science.
“Rats sing, they dream, and they express empathy for others,” Coco Yu of PETA’s Asia-Pacific branch said in a statement.
Coco, you ignorant vegan - the ChiComs needs to start treating their humans with kindness and respect before they can apply the same to vermin.
I came up with an interesting corollary last week: Veganism is dietary Scientology.
Animal welfare laws for rats? Sure, PETA, whatever…just don’t take away your right to abort your eight-and-a-half month old fetus, right?
