I did not know all this about PETA! How can they be People for the ETHICAL treatment of animals and want to kill off a whole breed of dog that God created? Kinda reminds me of Hitler trying to wipe out the Jewish people, doesn't it? And they want to give Michael Vick National TV coverage? Gee, that could further his football career when he gets out of prison. Another thing, I wonder if all those movies stars who appear for PETA REALLY know what PETA is all about? Makes you kinda wonder about the movie stars motives for appearing on TV ads. WOW! I did not know all this about PETA!

Sadly, Vick is not being sentenced in state court on 11/27 they are just setting a trial date. Big difference. There is a chance the case might not even get to trial in state court.

Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA, has herself been highly vocal in speaking out against pit bulls, and in so doing has perpetuated the harmful myths and negative stereotypes surrounding this much maligned breed. Newkirk wears her hatred for pit bulls on her sleeve, allowing her personal bigotry to fuel public hysteria and discrimination against all pit bulls, the majority of which have proven themselves many times over to be gentle, loving and loyal companions. It should also be noted that it has only been a few short months since PETA themselves stood trial. In January of this year, two PETA employees, fully backed by PETA's Newkirk and a highly-paid legal team, stood trial on 24 felony counts, including 21 counts of animal cruelty and obtaining property under false pretenses (lying to the shelters PETA adopted dogs and cats from, then euthanizing the animals rather then finding homes for them.) Thanks to a skilled and manipulative defense team, the two PETA staffers were found guilty only of lesser charges; however, the trial exposed PETA's shocking record of euthanizing healthy dogs and cats - up to a 90% euthanasia rate -- as well as the fact that PETA is singularly responsible for the deaths of over 14,400 dogs, cats and other companion animals during the period of 1998 - 2005.

PETA AND VICK CONSIDER PR PARTNERSHIP

Deal With Vick Would Require an Admission He Is Going to Prison

Suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has spoken with representatives from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals about appearing in an advertisement for the animal protection group, but no deal on a partnership has been reached, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk told ABC News Wednesday.

“The requirement from us would have to be extremely strong language,” Newkirk said. “It would have to include Michael Vick saying, ‘We’ve lost everything, and you would, too.’” MORE at http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=3685044

PETA is, in fact, no friend to the breed. Not only is PETA in support of breed bans against pit bulls but, moreover, espouses the complete extermination of the breed, regardless of their temperament, history or behavior.

Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA, has herself been highly vocal in speaking out against pit bulls, and in so doing has perpetuated the harmful myths and negative stereotypes surrounding this much maligned breed. Newkirk wears her hatred for pit bulls on her sleeve, allowing her personal bigotry to fuel public hysteria and discrimination against all pit bulls, the majority of which have proven themselves many times over to be gentle, loving and loyal companions.

It should also be noted that it has only been a few short months since PETA themselves stood trial. In January of this year, two PETA employees, fully backed by PETA’s Newkirk and a highly-paid legal team, stood trial on 24 felony counts, including 21 counts of animal cruelty and obtaining property under false pretenses (lying to the shelters PETA adopted dogs and cats from, then euthanizing the animals rather then finding homes for them.)
