PETA Attacks the World Wildlife Fund

PETA is no stranger to attacking any group of people that deal with animals and who will not goose-step to the PETA beat. The newest one being attacked by PETA is the World Wildlife Fund which PETA calls the Wicked Wildlife Fund.

The World Wildlife Fund is an animal welfare group and is the leading organization in wildlife conservation and endangered species.While I am sure that the WWF is not a perfect animal welfare organization, they certainly seem to appear more moderate and for the most part have common sense.

PETA on the other hand is an animal rights group who has got to be the biggest nut jobs out their today. I will give you one example out of hundreds to show you what I mean. Last year (2008), PETA decided that it would be a good idea if an an ice cream company would make their product from human breast milk rather then cows milk. Need I say any more on that subject. See link below.

Animal Rescue Groups Trying To Save Dogs From HSUS

Here is another good example of what I am talking about. In February, animal rescue groups are pleading with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) not to destroy 150 dogs and puppies. They even offered to pay them money.

"They even extended offers of assistance, support, and resources. But HSUS refused, arguing that all the dogs should be killed, including puppies who were born after the seizure and posed no threat to public safety." But the HSUS insists that the dogs are to be put down.

"The resulting outcry forced HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle, who had defended the slaughter and HSUS’ handling of the criticism, to back down. While stopping short of an apology or admitting they were wrong in having the dogs killed (including forcing a volunteer to return puppies to be killed), they agreed to re-evaluate their position and meet in Las Vegas to come up with a more humane policy.'

The Humane Society of the United States runs no animal shelter of any kind. Last year in 2007, they earned 107 million dollars. Just where did they spend that kind of money?? It sure wasn't helping out animals in trouble.

Read it for yourself.

Canadian Humane Societies arguing.

During the 2009 Calgary Stampede, the Alberta SPCA and the Calgary Humane Society (CHS) were on hand to insure that all animals involved with the stampede were being treated properly. No problem...right...wrong. A British Columbia animal-rights group is at odds with its Alberta counterpart over claims of animal cruelty at Canada's largest and most famous rodeo.

The Vancouver Humane society has criticized the Calgary Humane Society and the Alberta SPCA. They felt that they should not be at the stampede. Not exactly sure why. The CHS stated "We are very confident in our animal welfare procedures. We care passionately about these animals. We work with the Alberta SPCA and we will continue to do so."

And to get more media attention out of the deal, the Canadian Humane Society joined in the fracas. They wanted the T.V. stations to stop broadcasting the stampede. " On Thursday, CTV News reported on the Humane Society of Canada's request to the CRTC to ban all broadcasting of rodeo events." Confused ?? There's more to come yet.

The Calgary animal rights group is also in there. This animal rights group is on the stampede grounds with about a dozen people protesting against it. So as it stands right now, we have two groups supporting the Calgary stampede and two groups protesting against it.

I need a program to figure all this out.

PETA virses Friends of Animals

An ongoing war between two US animal rights groups - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Friends of Animals (FOA) culminated in a bizarre showdown last year that saw each group outside a KFC restaurant with PETA lauding the chain for including substitute chicken on its menu while FOA protested against both PETA and KFC.

Hostilities between the groups stretch back over several years with the latest installment involving PETA suing FOA in an attempt to close down their rehabilitation house for non-native animals. Allow me to point out here that both animal rights organizations are using donated money to fight each other. This money was supposed to go towards helping animals. (or so I thought)

A 2006 courtroom drama between People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and fellow animal rights group Friends of Animals (FOA) and its subsidiary Primarily Primates unfolded into a ridiculous farce that saw a bunch of PETA funded chimpanzees attempt to sue FOA for alleged animal abuse. Oh my god-now we have the monkeys suing Friends of Animals.

The batty legal proceedings were first instigated in 2006 and named nine chimpanzees as the plaintiffs. PETA funded the 'plaintiffs' and alleged they had been abused.

I am getting a headache now.

Animal rights Groups Fighting With Each Other

I sometimes find it hard to believe that animal rights groups are now fighting with each other.I n the fight over the moral high ground or for media attention or for the top spot at the money trough, PETA is suing Friends of Animals.

"If dressing up like clan members, exploiting women in protests, investing in the animal industry, or euthanize 80-97% of 'rescued' animals doesn't change your mind about PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, perhaps their recent lawsuit will get your attention.
Is PETA suing KFC as part of their KFCruelty campaign? Are they suing Lowes for selling mousetraps? PETA instead has decided to take it easy on those guys and instead go after the Friends of Animals animal advocacy organization's primate sanctuary."

Yes folks you heard correctly. If it's not the Sea Shepherd Society fighting on the high seas with Greenpeace over which group is going to take on the Japanese whalers then it's PETA suing other animal rights groups.

In 2006, the battle between the animal rights group Sea Shepherd Society and Greenpeace got so out of control that the two ships were ramming each other.

"On christmas day, captain Watson (leader of Sea Shepherd) announced having intercepted the factory ship NM. On christmas day, the environmental ships sent each other friendly wishes. Shortly after that, they tried to ram each other in a real sea battle.

Misled and betrayed

The bad blood between Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd goes back a long time. Paul Watson was one of the founders of Greenpeace in 1972. But 7 years later he left the organisation because it was too tame and founded Sea Shepherd. While Greenpeace adopted an ethic of non-violence, Watson believes in confrontation and aggression to achieve goals. “Greenpeace are "the Avon ladies of the environment" and are more interested in publicity than in enforcing international law”.

Few days ago Sea Shepherd accused Greenpeace of not wanting to reveal the whereabouts of the whaling fleet.

"Greenpeace has misled Sea Shepherd and betrayed us”, Watson shouted. “The Japanese fleet does not give a damn about protests. Greenpeace just take pictures and hang banners. We are down here to enforce international conservation law and to stop the illegal whaling operations."

Greenpeace retorted: "Greenpeace distance themselves from Sea Shepherd because of their inability to commit to non-violent tactics. But we'll do what we can to put bodies between harpoons and whales and protect the whales non-violently,"

A Greenpeace activist climbed recently on a wounded whale to prevent the Japanese from launching a second harpoon. The Japanese tried to get him of with water hoses.
It got so heated up, that a collision between the ships nearly couldn't’ be avoided. Both Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd say that the competing organisation tried to ram their ship, to be able to chase the Japanese alone.

Whaling fleet disappeared

While both organisations where fighting each other and tried to figure out who has the right to protect the whales, the Japanese whalers disappeared from the seas. The three ships search desperate with radar and helicopter for the whalers. It appears the disagreement is solved."
