RationalBiker Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 PETA thinks dead fish should not be treated as "toys" as they tossed around for show at the Pike Place Fish Market. The PPFM is planning on doing a demonstration at some veterinary conference and PETA issued their objections. I'm guessing they are concerned that live fish will know what's going on and feel badly for their deceased kin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Tell that to the sharks! Seriously, what sense does it make to force people to be moral (as they judge) while giving animals the allowance to hurt one another? According to them, if a wolf is about to kill a sheep, a person should not interfere, because the nature of the wolf is to be a predator, but if a person wants to kill a sheep, I should interfere, because human nature is to be moral, unlike the wolf. What would justify saving a child from being eaten by a wolf, then? Also, to feel pain you have to be individually conscious, but can you be conscious without free will?

Jill Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Argh. It's absolutely disgusting how they use anthropomorphism in this manner. It's also stupid. I had fish pets and ate other fish quite happily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 PETA members should be killed and eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 PETA members should be killed and eaten. Yeah, but if you do so you will release a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and drown the coasts and....

Jake_Ellison Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I guess you guys haven't heard about the dead fly controversy plaguing the highest office of the United Sates Executive. The fish tossing is nothing compared to that, as far as proof that PETA supporters are emotional babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
