PETA..........and .......Dead Fish.......

Those "PETA" people.....

Are at it again.......Those folks........whom the average pet loving American.....would love to admire what they stand for, ( Ethical Treatment of Animals). But.......it's stunts like this one which distances many of us away from their cause.

PETA...........Michael Vick's worst nightmare.....has a new whipping boy. The fish tossers........in Seattle, Washington.

From UPI:

PETA criticizes Seattle's famed fish toss

SEATTLE, June 10 (UPI) -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says the fish tossing that occurs at Seattle's Pike Place Market is unacceptable.

The animal rights organization told the American Veterinary Medical Association it should rethink its plan for a Pike Place Fish Market demonstration at an upcoming Seattle convention, The Seattle Times said Wednesday.

The organization told the veterinary group in a letter the practice of fish tossing makes fish appear like toys and therefore is an unacceptable practice for individuals who care for animals.

Lindsay Rajt, a PETA spokeswoman in Norfolk, said compassion should be shown by veterinarians.

Justin Hall, a Pike Place Fish Market assistant manager, said workers at the market respect the fish they toss around for customer and tourist amusement as the animals represent their livelihood.

Huh???? Can they really be serious???? And how can they expect normal people to ever take their causes serious........again.

Are you kidding me? Doesn't PETA have anything else to busy themselves with than this? If you don't want to see the fish thrown, then don't come to Seattle.

PETA is definitely right. You wouldn't be throwing dead dogs and cats or dead babies, perhaps only Nazis might have done that or in some genocides. Furthermore we are talking veterinarians for heaven's sake, they are supposed to protect animal's lives! We must respect all creatures, dead or alive!

I can't believe p.e.t.a. is waisting there time on DEAD, let me say that again 'DEAD' fish. They are protesting the fish mongers (people that throw the 'DEAD' fish at the market) What a waste of energy, why aren't they in every kill shelter in the United States... how bout the sea lions KILLING our salmon here in the Northwest... get real P.E.T.A. much bigger battles out there to fight...

You knew there had to be one "PETA" nut case.....

This is why ..........there is a very good chance.....our Michael Vick .....may never, ever don an NFL uniform.

It they can do this to ......."fish throwing" vendors in Seattle.....Vick.....doesn't stand a chance.

The Michael Vick Saga......goes ....on & on & on.....

Tomorrow........

Wednesday, May 20, 2009..........

That is the day Michael Vick is scheduled to be released from a federal prison in Kansas. Due to the high profile nature of this case.......the "feds" are very tight lipped on the actual time of his release.

It could be at 12:01..........Wednesday morning........or 11:59.......Wednesday night......or sometime in between.

We just don't know.....

But this ........we do know......the protesters.......mainly .......PETA.......will be out in force.

Now I have a message to those "People for the ethical treatment of Animals " ( PETA) folks..........Get your signs.......your posters.......ready.

Ready.......as when Vick goes to work in a pre-arranged construction job making $10 dollars an hour. Protest there.... and I will applaud you for your cause.

Don't wait until Vick is on an NFL team..........and then you come out and protest......That will tell me.....and the rest of the nation.......PETA is just looking for publicity.

I say all this...........knowing those gutless PETA people........will not be on the construction site......They want the TV cameras for the real thing.....When Vick gets back to the NFL.

And this is wrong.

Vick..........has paid his debt to society ........He has lost everything.......He deserves a second chance.

There are 32 NFL teams ...........meaning there are 32 starting quarterbacks...........Are all 32 better than Michael Vick?

I think not..........

Some team........some owner........some General Manager........must.....muster up some balls.....and go after Vick.

As for PETA?

Aren't there some whales........that need saving?

Michael Vick Update.......

Come May..........

Michael Vick will become a free man......Well, sort of.......Read the scoop.....courtesy of Yahoo Sports:

Official: Vick OK'd for home confinement (AP)

Yes...........Michael Vick is coming home..........Seems the "halfway houses" are all filled.

The only thing standing in the way of Vicks return to the NFL....is that .......that.......organization.......we cannot stand....the group we despise...........PETA.

Yes...........PETA ...........

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): The animal ...

Yeah............that group. The group that will stand up ........for a dog.......or a cat.....or a horse........

But not for any humans..........

Michael Vick has paid his dept to society............prison time.

He has lost millions............his name and his family shamed.

But ..........PETA..........will continue to lobby........to campaign ........to smear Mr. Vick.

Why?

When is ........enough..........enough.

PETA people...............get a life..............move on............this.......is done.

Let Mike Vick............move on.

Enough already........
