Forgive my 'sins of nourishment'

PETA leaves the most horrendously foul taste in my mouth than pretty much anything else on this planet. They have got to be thee most insensitive, tasteless, cruelest group I have ever seen. Not only have they compared the 'slaying' of animals to blacks and slavery now they are likening it to the crucifixtion of Christ? And in front of a Cathedral in Vienna? AND on Good Friday? How insensitive can this group be and how nuts are they really to take a Holy Day and smear it use it for their own 'religious' agenda.

Row over 'crucifix' protest

Vienna - A row erupted on Thursday over plans by animal protectionists to symbolically "crucify" three activists with animal masks in a Good Friday protest outside Vienna's St Stephan's Cathedral.

The militant pro-animal group PETA said the activists would be suspended from crosses with crowns of thorns on their heads.

The slogan of the protest action would be "We suffer and die for your sins of nourishment."

PETA said its aim was to catch the attention of consumers who ignored the suffering of animals.

Head of Vienna's central 1st district, conservative People's Party (VP) politician Ursula Stenzel, condemned the plan.

Her office spokesperson Angelika Mayrhofer-Battlogg spoke of "mockery of a religious community on one of the most important days of the Christians".

"The action would be more blasphemy than animal protection."

The Archdiocese of Vienna said: "It's a completely unacceptable falsification of the religious dimension of Good Friday."

As well-intentioned as the animal protectionists might be, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was not suited "to transport secondary messages".

The square outside the cathedral was a "sensitive" place where not anything could be permitted to happen, it added.

If I were to actually be the 'sailor' that I am, this post would be laced with some of the nastiest things I could think of to say about this activist group. It is groups like this that make me rebel, that make me eat meat, that make me fight against feminism, that make me fight to stop abortion. It is groups like this that are ruining this country, that threaten peoples lives if those people don't agree with the others agenda. I am really angry right now, not because I'm some religious nut but because this group is so disrespectful to humans.

Animals are great, I've made that point before in the past. If not for animals, science wouldn't even have a leg to stand on. Hell, half these groups of people wouldn't be here or have medicine for their illness'. But I've been over this before. It's pointless. Not only does PETA have poor taste (or perhaps they think that by using such examples they might actually 'touch' someone) but they are a violent group. Bombs, threatening phone calls to families, smashing cars, dumping the carcuses of dead cats and dogs into another property's dumpster to hide their real side AFTER they told the owners that they were going to find homes for these animals that they killed.

This group just disgusts me. Save the animals but can it not be done in a more respectful, harmless way? Does this group really have to be so nasty and violent and insensitive? Oh wait, I'm the insensitive one because I find this act to be tasteless and a horrible way in which to display one's love for animals.

Give me a damn break!!!!!!
