Sorry if this topic has been posted before.

Please all of you attending Crufts next week that the PETA loonies are demonstrating. The main days for their targets are Thursday; Hounds and Terriers as they are against any dogs hunting or catching things, and Sunday; usually largest attendance.

They are VERY aggressive in their protests, keep a tight hold of your dogs as they WILL try and grab them off you or spray paint them or spray other nasties on them. They will stand in your way as you walk to the halls. Do NOT for a second leave your dogs unattended on the benches as they will release them, ditto if you crate. Or even slip something like ACP to them.

If PETA have their way there would be no dogs as pets, cats as pets, in fact any pets. Animals would not be allowed to be farmed - even for wool and dairy. PETA's aim is that ALL animals be feral. They are against the NO KILL POLICY of rescue orgs like Dogs Trust, PETA kills any stray it takes in no matter the high probablilty of successful rehoming including puppies.

Do not underestimate the power of PETA. They sucker in weak celebrities to be the "faces" of their campaigns. Their power in the USA is frightening and they are pushing forward alot of state laws to limit freedom dog & pet ownership.

Not a huge fan of PETA as they are a bit radical and sensationalist and more people do more good quietly and without the funds and self promotion, but I have to question where you got that info from? Nothing in their literature,website or campaigns suggest that they kill or want to kill all strays! PETA campaign to get rescue centres properly funded (mostly in the US where they can be a bit grim) promote spaying and are anti-breeding, but then so are a lot of us on here.
This is their take on companion animals

The Kennel Club have been aware of this for some time and (I would hope!) have been liaising with the police accordingly - there are also going to be demos on Toy day (against the nasty nasty CKCS and other breeds with inherant illnesses) so it is going to be a problem all through the show.

Lots of stuff in Dog World about it, and also the Kennel Club and breed clubs have been sending mail shots to their members to warn them.

They are very clever at self promotion and their "public profile" varies from country to country depending on that countires tradional sympathetic leanings. Their basic policies remain the same though. If you do look further into the UK site it mentions supporting euthanasia for the absolute majority of strays / rescues regardless. They have done some good in highlighting horrifc and barbaric practices in some countries, but so does the WWF etc. I do know first hand having lived in the USA for years. and worked in shelters.

This is just one of many testimonies really showing PETA for who they are.

They were happy to push through the end of humane slaughter for equines in the USA, and continue to be happy to now sit back and watch thousands of horses and ponies from the USA shipped to Mexico and Canada to be killed. Mexico slaughter houses kill by stabbing through the spinal cords of horses in pens! Does PETA do anything about this - NO, as they well know Mexican's would not be swayed by them. Does PETA now regret their action - NO, they are happy to see horses shipped for 24 - 72 hours without a break, food, or water.

So don't be fooled by their clever press releases.
 
The majority of people I think just think of PETA as the people against fur etc. They just don't give any more thought. I know of someone who is a supporter and has 2 cats

The other day my OH's sister turned up with a PETA t-shirt on... I really had to bite my lip to stop from saying anything.
 
If the KC are to be believed they are well prepared for the PETA lot and are working with the police. It amazes me that so called animal loving groups can think it is right to terrify dogs, which is no doubt what will happen, particularly if they hold a loud and aggressive protest on toy day

Yes I agree they do a lot wrong but for example this exerpt from that link ......After Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania officials announced that they were going to implement a pilot project ofneutering rather than killing unsocialized free roaming (feral) cats, PETA argued that the cats shouldcontinue to be killed. Pittsburgh officials declined....

There is a strong argument that most feral cats die a rather nasty death from disease and unless the colony has some human input in the way of feeding and vaccination most die within 2 years so euthanasia might possibly be a better alternative. They can also wipe out local wildlife as they have done in parts of Australia where they are culled in places and I think this is what PETA are concerned about reading through more of their info. Can't comment about the shelter mentioned as there is no argument put forward by PETA. Not by any means are they perfect and I don't agree with their methods but there are 2 sides to most stories.

Of course nothing in their literature etc says that they kill animals - that would damage the fluffy image they like to project. Have a look here website

I could argue with these facts, figures and the fact that there's even a website called 'PETA Kills Animals'

and put a different slant on it but the doggy forum isn't the place to do it. People with differing opinions will always find arguments to back up their viewpoint.

I would be so mad if I paid a couple of grand for an inbred mutant pedigree dog only to have it spray painted on it's way to the inbred mutant parade!

I don't agree with PETA on many things but I disagree with the KC on pretty much everything, personally I think they should put a halt on all dog showing until they get their breeding policy sorted, maybe ban anyone from showing a dog that has been bred from relatives (sickos).

Given how over run many UK dog and cat charities claim to be I don't think the no kill policy is a good one. I don't think every stray or unwanted animal should be put down but I also don't agree with keeping dogs in kennels (which most find very stressful) without proper contact with another animal or human for months and sometimes years.

I would prefer to see them put down if there was no home found with a certain time frame. Hell the charities could set up pages like certain French rescue sites with 'Urgent - this dog only has 2 days to live' that might get people reconsidering there pedigrees and adopting normal mutts instead.

Not all pedigree dogs are mutants

Why should i have to stop showing my dog, because there are a few breeds that are the cause of the problems.

My breed is not one of them, so why should we be tarred with the same brush??
