eisely 12 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I sure am glad that PETA is out there to keep us focused on the really important controversies. http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/11/13/2481006/opossum-drop-halted-in-brasstown.html Link to post Share on other sites

FScouter 21 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 It's a sad day when society finds entertainment in such drivel. Did you read the comments at the end of the story? This is not the mark of a great country. Link to post Share on other sites
SMT224 10 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 This is really silly -- they just lower it in a cage! I thought they really tossed it!

eisely 12 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 FScouter Lighten up! Of course it is lighthearted drivel. Most entertainment is drivel. That is what makes it entertainment. We all need a little fun in life. Link to post Share on other sites
SeattlePioneer 144 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 PETA is the silliest of political organizations. In Washington State they got an initiative passed a few years ago banning hunting of bears and mountain lions with dogs. "Cruel" they said. Foolish voters passed it. After a few years, mountain lions were expanding in number and range right into suburban areas, with dogs and cats being taken out of the back yards of people's homes. Were the dogs and cats that were killed the cruel victims of PETA policies? I'd say so. When the mountain lions began stalking children, the state legislature repealed the PETA law, and the problem went away. I just walked by the squashed body of a possum and a squirrel when I was out walking yesterday --- killed by cars. Perhaps PETA should be out there gently keeping the wildlife from crossing the road. They are often fools, in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
