PETA's fax to Siegfried and Roy
OK - this just totally ticked me off!!! I don't agree with everyhing PETA does, but did support their anti-fur campaigns.
No more!!!! I just can't believe that they had the audacity to do this!
Just where would these animals be if they were not being taken care of and bred here?? Their natural environment is being destroyed, and they are being hunted to near extinction. Give me a break!!!
Here's what ticked me off:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals went ahead and faxed a letter to Horn's hospital bed, urging Siegfried and Roy to retire their animals and build a sanctuary for them.
PETA Vice President Dan Mathews wrote: "The only natural thing that happened on that stage was that this majestic animal lashed out against a captor who was beating him with a microphone because he wouldn't do a trick.
"No matter how much you say that you love the wild animals whom you have confined continents away from their natural homes, you are still the men who have subjugated their wills and natures to further your own careers."

Oh PETA just burns my butt! Throwing fake blood on people in fur coats, and now this. They have the right to their beliefs and to express those beliefs, but they have no right to destroy other's property and if this letter is indeed true, they are totally classless to harp at someone who is recovering from an attack like that.

If this group really had a clue, they would know how well Siegfried and Roy take care of their animails. Matter of fact they have a sanctuary for their animals along with a wonderful natural birthing facility for their tigers.

I agree with PETA
Well, I can see I am in the minority here.
PETA has a very valid point and I admire them for having the guts to stand up and speak out. If he hadn't been hitting a tiger with a microphone to try and get him to do a trick, he might not have been attacked.
Now the tiger is being quarantined and most likely will end up being put down because its vicious. Sorry, but I feel for the tiger, not the man that was exploiting the tiger and making money off of it.
