PETA lawsuit seeks to expand animal rights - Yahoo! News

WHAT???

This makes me want a fish sandwich. I'm all for treating ALL animals with respect, but good god! They're citing the 13th for a killer whale??????

Nutjobs. Their agenda is for all of us to be vegetarians and completely outlaw pets... you know, let them run free. They also spoke out against how law enforcement handled the situation in Ohio. I bet they'd have a different opinion if their kid was mauled by a lion while walking to the bus stop in the morning. Any message regarding ethical treatment of animals, spaying and neutering pets is lost on their whacky sideline agendas.

I would really like to see PETA prove in court that the Constitution applies to ANIMALS. They are completely WHACKED in the head.

I wouldn't be surprised if such an incident didn't change a hardcore PETA members mind one bit. As far as their claim that there is nothing to indicate that the 13th Amendment applies only to humans, one need look no further than the preamble of the Constitution - the first seven words, in fact.

We the People of the United States...

People = humans. It pisses me off to hear of a person truly abusing an animal and I often thing that harsher punishments for such behavior should be in place. That said, animals aren't people, they don't have Constitutional rights and some of them taste really, really good.

I guess if PETA considers the whales to be subject to the rights granted in the Constitution then the whales should also comply with local, state and federal law therefore the whale that killed the trainer should be prosecuted for murder and sentenced accordingly. I also think the whales should pay income tax.

Nutjobs.

I like animals just fine too, but i still can't eat an entire cat all by myself.

If animals have human rights then they should also be paid minimum wage. I think this could all be resolved by having the trainer ask the whale if it feels like a slave speak up. If there is no response then he must be happy.

These people should not be allowed to consume our precious oxygen and do the planet a favor.

Needs more ginger then. Not that much meat on your average cat.

Must be why the nut job in OH turned his animals lose. Didn't want to be accused of slavery.

At least the guy was decent enough to remove himself from the gene pool....DOH! Did I just type that out loud?

Maybe K9 dogs should start getting a paycheck too.

I would like to see these PETA nerds go for a swim in the Main tank and play with the hungry Orca's...can I offer to push one in the tank?

Ridiculous.
