PETA vs. Westminster Dog Show?

Well I don't always agree with everything PETA says and does--they're a bit radical for my taste. But their concern for animals is well meant. I didn't read the article because it was taking forever to pull up. My guess is they are referring to the chopping off of certain breeds' tails or slicing their ears half off. I've long felt that that is a barbaric practice and the AKC should stop it.

I don't think the answer is in stopping dog shows--just using some common sense when it comes to the grooming of purebreds. The AKC would have to revise it's policies on this for people to wise-up. I sure as hell wouldn't want a limb or ear chopped off.

Most of them have gone completely off the deep end. They are beginning to sound more and more like a cult all the time. They are also very hypocritical since the neglect to acknowledge the fact that they are in boo koo trouble for euthanizing animals they say they were rescuing from animal controls that were going to euthanize. They even want to stop people from eating any fish of any kind which would cause a huge portion of the world to starve to death. I think we all want the ethical treatment of animals but most of us are reasonable human beings and are aware of reality. I do believe that PETA would like to see all pet ownership and any association with animals done away with. They need to get a grip on reality. Not every one associated with PETA has lost it but a large part of the leadership has. I totally agree with you.

PETA is a joke....people only do stuff to shut them up and not agree with them....
