![]() ![]() PETA is and continues to be cruel, not just to animals but also to the people who love them. So your response here is this Human deserved what he got and is better off dead?! You are a disgusting organizationand and should be absolutely ashamed!! He was a FATHER and a HUSBAND and did WAY more for wild life conservation than the IDIOT INTERN hired to write this tweet! ![]() PETA are attention-seeking posers by comparison He was a serious conservationist & did the hard & unglamourous work required. #SteveIrwin and his family gave an awful lot of quiet, unpublicised support to organisations like mine. I'm an Australian wildlife rescue volunteer. PETA is an embarrassment to animal rights Here are some of the better responses we saw: The irony of PETA, which killed over 70% of the cats and dogs it received at its “shelter,” attacking Steve Irwin, a true conservationist who dedicated most of his live to saving animals, cannot be missed. In his career he helped to catch and relocate endangered crocodiles in order to prevent their deaths in what later became the Australia Zoo. ![]() Rescue groups, individuals, and veterinarians have come forward stating that the animals they gave PETA were healthy and PETA insiders have admitted as much, one former intern reporting that he quit in disgust after witnessing healthy puppies and kittens in the kill room. Irwin, who passed more than 12 years ago, is best remembered by the influence he had on encouraging millions to learn and explore nature and its wonderful creatures. PETA has been caught stealing healthy animals and putting them to death. ![]() Wild animals are entitled to be left alone in their natural habitats. Today’s #GoogleDoodle sends a dangerous, fawning message. #SteveIrwin was killed while harassing a ray he dangled his baby while feeding a crocodile & wrestled wild animals who were minding their own business. Fortunately, Twitter wasn’t having it.įollowing Google’s touching tribute last week to Steve Irwin’s on what would have been his 57 th birthday via a specialized doodle, PETA decided to tweet out: "You can't make 8,000 pounds do something it doesn't want to do," he said.PETA’s social media team seems to have a new favorite target: dead celebrities. There is no cruelty in training, just reward and repetition, he explained. He once watched an elephant balance on four steel balls of its own volition, without training, Payne noted. Others demonstrate abilities and playfulness that lend them to be part of the show. Trainers and caretakers observe elephant calves to assess temperament and natural skills, explained Steve Payne, spokesman for Feld Entertainment, which owns the Ringling circus. The circus also touts its Florida centers for elephants and big cats that are too old to perform anymore. Ringling counters the animal cruelty argument, stating that its animals are well-cared for and only perform for a few hours on show days. The circus is no stranger to protests like this one publicized by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA. The protesters said an animal-free circus is the only way to make the business cruelty-free. "We want kids to eventually say 'We don't want to go to the circus,'" said Eby, a high school teacher in Lee County. They hoped families pulling into the arena would see them and question where they were headed. "We're speaking up for the animals who don't have a voice," said Robert Swanson, an Edison State College freshman who acted out the scene of mock violence against Sara Eby, who donned the elephant costume. They drummed up a bit of support online and planned to meet twice Saturday and once Sunday in protest. "We just have to raise people's consciousness about how animals in circuses are treated," said Madeleine Doran, a retired school principal who now runs an animal rights advocacy newsletter in Lee County.ĭoran and a dozen other activists gathered at the Treeline Drive entrances to Germain Arena in Estero for the Saturday morning and afternoon shows of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus to raise awareness about what they said is the inhumane treatment of animals in that and other circuses.ĭonna Bowden wore a red T-shirt that summarized her stance: "If you love animals, don't go to the circus." There was more than one elephant in the room with the Big Top in town. ESTERO _ Before circus-goers could spot the three rings, they got a little show along the road into Germain Arena on Saturday.Ī protester stood with a wooden yardstick in hand, pretending to beat another activist in an elephant costume, the fuzzy gray head embellished with a bandage and fake blood. ![]()
