Another heroic victory for PETA

What a heroic victory for PETA. Instead of going after abusive pitt bull owners or illeagal animal poachers, they decided to vindicate the harsh lives of egg laying chickens.

SC Monks To End Egg Farm After Animal-Rights Group Criticism|ABC News 4

Mepkin Abbey is about 30 miles north of my home. This peaceful group of Monks have been producing eggs for years and selling them to support their way of life. My wife toured their religous facilities when she was in collage. Their practices are well within the laws governing egg production.

The laws are barbaric and inhumane.

PETA are not environmentalists. I'm not sure why you would refer to "fundamentalists" in this context.

PETA is an extremist animal rights organization. Extremism in some cases is fully justified: in the fight against slavery, for example, or in the battle for our nation's independence. Extremism is just a word denoting opinions that are far removed from the center. But the center is not necessarily right and complacency is always wrong.

When my father was in the ag business he would go to trade shows up north and the PETA nuts would chain themselves to equipment that did not belong to them. When someone would ask them to remove their chains from their equipment and leave, if they happened to touch them, the PETA nut would flail to the ground saying that he/she was assaulted and then sue the owner of the equipment.
