They are forced to use extreme measures to get their points across simply because society is deaf. Either deaf, or too lazy to listen.

"You get your message across with education, sponsoring spays and neuters for those people who can't afford it."

Referring to your ridiculous response...look it up, there is plenty of information out there encouraging people to neuter their animals. That doesn't look like the OP's response, it looks like a quote from the article the OP posted. If you'll notice, it says- said Metcalf.
And for people who can't afford it...they shouldn't be BUYING animals dumb shit. Nice language and a great way to get a point across....real mature.

Their way provides shock and incite that hopefully gets through to those less ignorant. Education gets across to people, offering people body bags is extreme and uncalled for. And what if the person who responded didn't buy their new puppy? What if they rescued it? They should get a response for a body bag? Eh, as usual, PETA has gone too far.

There are millions of abandoned animals in need of a home...and selfish people who won't settle for anything less than new and young just keep buying animals instead of adopting.

This is causing clutter in shelters, forcing them to put at least one pet down for every one that is bought.

How about you all just be a little more selfless and adopt a dog/cat/whatever that's in need, and stop supporting the puppy mills that provide your pure bred. There are plenty of people on this forum who have adopted and plenty who do rescue work. I, for one, am one of them. I have two sick kittens in my care that I am currently fostering and two animals that I've rescued. I have worked in rescue for many years. If you'll read through this forum, you'll find that many members encourage adopting.

Ever think that your NEW dog's mother is whipped and abused, just so that you can have the "perfect" dog.

Way to go pitbulllover27870...you killed a number of innocent lives.
