From Jane Gray:
PETA began as a very good organization. They were concerned with the rights of animals. I too received graphic literature in the mail. It made me open my eyes to what is really going on in our hard, cold, cruel world. I had heard the rumors, but seeing with your own eyes is totally different. I began to boycott the brands that test on animals. And still do. Not that my decision to not buy those items were going to make them go broke or stop the testing, but it made me feel like I am at least trying to do my part. And after 50 years, surely they felt it a little. Too many makeup companies, etc., can produce these products without testing on animals, especially it this day and time. I can understand health and medicine issues a little more, but it would only be a fool to put hairspray, or bleach, or another chemical in your eyes. Even an idiot would know that it would hurt. Duh !!! So why do a rabbit that way or any other animal? Most people, like other things, would rather just turn their heads than do something about it. I see that each and every day. Is it better to just "not know"? But PETA has the guts to say and do something about animal testing. I do not agree with everything they do, but I don't agree with everything our government does --do you? If your young child is allowed to receive her own uncensored mail, then it is the parents fault, not PETA's. If you buy products tested on animals, it is your fault, not PETA's. Perhaps if you had a list of companies and products, and if you saw these animals and their pains, then you could not fault someone that does care. God put the animals here first. As an after thought he created man to care for them. Read your Bible. We were vegetarians until the Ice Age. What does that tell you? PETA does go overboard on many things, but someone has to, to get all the rest of us to open our eyes and actually see and hopefully FEEL for these animals, who cannot do anything for theirselves. And you out there that have one litter after another of cats and dogs, and then offer them to the public for free, should know that people with lions, tigers, snakes, etc., get these live babies for food for their animals. How can you just sit there and do this?
?? Only uncaring, uneducated people could support the use of animals in testing. We would not need organizations like PETA if there was no problem. Wake-up !!! Become a part of this society by learning about what is happening in laboratories across the country. It would surprise you, unless PETA has sent you the facts. Thank you PETA for at least awakening some passion in some people. The animals deserve it.
