		<description>I was so excited when I read in our local paper that &quot;Peta members&quot; were planning to protest at our local groundhog day celebration.

I had it all planned out - hand outs showing Peta&#039;s shelter kill rate, a big bucket of fake blood, some nifty signs, and a group of us willing to chant &quot;hey, hey P-E-T-A, how many pets did you kill today?&quot;.

Sadly for us, their &#039;protest&#039; ending up being a sternly worded letter to the editor bemoaning how cruel it is to force groundhogs to predict spring.

Another opportunity for social change, lost forever.</description>

		<description>Social Mange, I think you&#039;re on to something.  That&#039;s a GREAT idea.

Pai, I have to admit that there&#039;s a compelling argument to be made that I -- and the rest of us -- would be better off by not mentioning PETA at all. Complaining about them or poking fun at them affords them more oxygen (remembering PT Barnum&#039;s axiom that all publicity is good publicity), and I&#039;d rather not give them the exposure if I can help it.  That said, BadRap&#039;s piece was just too good to ignore.  But trying to find logic in PETA&#039;s stances?  Labor lost. &quot;Forget it, Jake.  It&#039;s Chinatown&quot;.</description>

		<description>&quot;According to the Peta rep&#039;s tirade, Jonny and Uba stole good homes from other needy dogs, so Tim and Letti should just learn to accept death for pit bulls and Save the Poodles. Or something like that.&quot;

So now it&#039;s &#039;Pit Bulls&#039; stealing homes from &#039;more deserving&#039; animals instead of purebreds? Or does PETA just plug a new &#039;enemy of shelter dogs&#039; into that catchphrase whenever they need to vilify another group of people/animals?</description>

		<description>Any time one or more PETA representatives show up anywhere, they should be showered with red paint while people scream, &quot;KILLERS!&quot;

What&#039;s good for the goose....</description>

		<description>Peta - working tirelessly to save &quot;sea kitties&quot; and slaughter Pit Bulls, because while fish might be cute and cuddly, Pit Bulls wearing top hats are just plain scary.

What a bunch of morons.</description>

		<description>Love the canyon rescue story.  The dog has the same markings and sweet eyes of my very first shelter rescue.  I hope they either keep him or find him a great home.  From the barking on the interview, they must have other dogs of their own.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the push to take action on what I believe is best. It prompted me to get a letter to Best Friends WITHOUT the expected donation.</description>
