Does PETA really have the right to interfere with the pig castration demonstration in rural high schools?

PETA like the ACLU have oversteped their boundries,the more they get away with the more they demand,there will come a time when Peta will dictate what we should eat,hunt,fish,and which animal we should  have for a pet.they're just another group out of touch with the rest of the world

Vegetarians are largely the same people that protest hunting, throw blood on fake fur, and kill abortion doctors.\n\nDo you know how many people are killed every year in car/deer accidents? or how about the last time the bleeding hearts freed all the mink at the local mink ranch, and the mink went to the local trailer court to feed on all the cats? Or this "it's too mean to kill fetuses, so I'm gonna kill people." mentality, what's up with that?\n\nSo, if we put two and two together, bleeding heart liberals like deer, hate cars, like mink, hate cats, like unborn people, and kill abortion clinic docs.\n\nSo, what's next? \n\nAmerica becomes a third-world country, and looks a lot like India did back in the 70's, where a starving child can be seen right next to a healthy cow, in downtown Milwaukee.\n\nThe national speed limit is reduced to 15 miles per hour on account of all the deer, cows, pigs and sheep, roaming freely around the country, eating our crops before we can, and crapping on our children. Ted Nugent replaces Osama Bin Laden as the world's most wanted criminal, and I get arrested repeatedly for Vehicular Deerslaughter.\n\nEver see "Nightmare on Elm Street? Remember how Freddie Krueger was conceived? 'nuff said.\n\nOh! did I mention the Bovine Holocaust Museum?\n\nHopefully, the punishment for Vehicular Deerslaughter is lethal injection. Did you know they sterilize the area with a cottonball soaked in alcohol before they insert the needle that'll kill you? Ya think they're worried about giving the condemned an infection?

They answered this in one of the interviews after one ot the finales. They aren't allowed to eat them unless they 'come into camp and fall over dead'. If they did, the natives might get angry... no to mention PETA.

I agree. I believe that animals are equal to people and they should be treated as such. I'm not a vegitarian or anything, but I still think other creatures deserve their rights. After all, humans are animals too. In fact, I don't consider the animals in my family as pets, I think of them as my brothers/sisters. It is unfair to animals and pets, but humans tend to think they're the dominant species.

Once again...\nI've heard of good computer models that can teach the same principles of dissecting w/out the need of an animal- So... technically I don't see why a school should obligate you to cut open a dead animal; however, sometimes what they are trying to convey IS the dissection- and just like with so many things in life- you can read about it, go through a simulation, etc... but you never quite fully grasp it until you've experienced it. Should a student be able to opt out? probably... Should that student continue down a path/career where those skills may be useful to them?... probably not. God Bless, good luck, n peace.

If they want to look like idiots attacking a cartoon, more power to them!  While they're at it they should go after that movie Babe about the pig from a few years back, that could hurt the pork industry right?  And remember all the gay kids shows like Teletubbies and SpongeBob.  Obviously the conservatives take their cartoons very seriously.\n\nHere's a thought - we should give them a Cartoon Version of the Constitution, maybe then they would get it!!!

i AM ALL FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS, BUT I EAT MEAT.  Personally I feel that how the meat was produced (ie how the animal lived its life) is a bigger issue.  Factory farming in my view is unnatural and cruel. Chickens and pigs seem to be the worst affected (beef in the U.S ), the are intensively reared in cramped conditions. For this reason I only eat meat from known sources, which is free range .  I avoid eggs from battery hens because they are kept in a cage for their entire lives , and the eggs don't compare to good freerange egggs the difference is unbeleivable. Luckily beef is not intenseviley farmed in my area and very good quality.  Look up groups like 'compassion in world farming for more' info

froggy,\n\nIf the "policy" of this school is not to communicate through students, then the teacher was definitely in the wrong for sending a reply to you through your daughter, regardless of the offensive statement.\n\nThe statement, mind you was ignorant and offensive...that sort of thinking has no place in schools and absolutely no place in the minds of teachers...who, of all people should not place preferences for "real" or biological parents versus what, "un-real" parents, who made no genetic donations to children they care for and raise as their own?\n\nIf anything, these are the folks who should be held as the ideal, and get positive attention, instead of being shunned as someone who isn't a REAL parent...\n\nPlease...I wanna know, who is this ignorant ******?  Which State made the worst decision ever, and granted this person a teaching certificate?\n\nMs froggy, I would not rest until I get this person in front of the school principal to explain herself.  Go to the county school board if you get no satisfaction there, and to the media if you're still getting ignored.  There is no place for thinking like that.

While I am not in favor of either (Pro-life,own a pitbull), I do know that mankind has a tendency to use things such as extreme animal rights activism as a dumpimg ground for the suppressed guilt they feel because of having mistreated humanity in some way or other. \n\nDeep down inside, our society feels that animals are equal to (in some cases,like PETA) or are superior to humans. \n\nThis notion is clearly evident in legislation, where killing a child is okay and a matter of "choice" and where you end up fined/jailed for killing a pet. This a complete reversal of nature. We are to love one another above ourselves and have rulership/dominion over animals. This is the true natural order.

Yes we are vegetarians we totally agree with you!!!!!!!!!\nAt least we know some people care about animals!!!!!!!!  Not  Only for the animals sake but people are so unaware of all of these chemicals and steroids that they are putting into these animals to make them bigger quicker to get money now. We have no idea what all of these chemicals,etc...are going to do to our children as they grow in the future.  By  the way please don't turn  a blind  eye to how animals are being tortured for their body parts while they are still alive.  God did not put these creatures here for us to mistreat just because we are more intelligent.  Maybe we should start taking I.Q. Tests and just clean out  the world of the less intelligent ones.

heck no...next the on the list is NHIS(National Human Indentification System) get ready for your chip too. The animals are the test bed to the future..Practice should be outlawwed

Animals have no rights.  However, we, as humans, have a responsibility not to mistreat them.\n\nWith rights comes responsiblities.  Non-human animals are not capable of doing that.
