Great site! Except for the petards page. Kinda offensive, as I see nothing wrong with taking a dog out of a yard if it's being mistreated! Especially when the animal control won't do anything about it. We were actually talking about helping an abused weimeraner in that way...You see, many PETA-radicalists take animals out of people's yards because they believe that "Keeping an animal captive" is considdered "animal abuse" and "inhumane". Most often, when it is a PETA-radicalist doing the theivery of animals, they are, afterwards, releasing them onto the streets or euthenizing the animals because they believe the animal is "better off dead" than being captive.
I support some people who take animals without concent IF and only IF they have substantial proof (meaning video, pictures, etc) of the animal being neglected, abused, or treated inhumanely... Though, most of the radicalists who take dogs, that I have heard, seen, or met, have only gone by "what they seen one time" or "what someone said". Most dont actually look into it enough to provide evidence of the neglect/abuse/inhumanity. Most do it because they think the animal is being treated wrong... not because they know... I admit, i have stolen several dogs in the past, but I had video proof that the animals were neglected so if brought to court, I would have viable evidence to claim my innocence... Im not a radicalist. Im a rationalist... something that not many PETA members fall under.
Radicalist -> Actions before thoughts. (many PETA memebers fall into this category)
Rationalists -> Thoughts before actions.
