Statick Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I want to see what PETA does about this. Should be very interesting to see if they go full bore at Martinez they same way they did at Vick.If they do protest about it, then their protests would be about as useless as those who protest for the plight of the Tibetan monks here in the States. They won't dare do it in China because the Chinese government won't put up with it, period.I highly doubt they'll travel down to the D.R. to start a protest. Talk about a slaughter of chickens.

They still eat canines in various parts of Asia. But I guess they only care about animals in America.I'm basically calling them a bunch of hypocrites.

gritzblitz56 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 PETA will only become involved when there is a significant amount of publicity to be gained. And I don't think that this case qualifies. Let's face it, most of us love dogs like they are part of the family while we view chicken as something that comes in a bucket as original or extra crispy.

jdu00743 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Animal fights are not something I support or would ever participate in, however, I think it is stupid for everyone to get so worked up about it.They're just animals...If they aren't yours, why the heck do you care??The fact that someone can go to jail for this in the US (I realize Pedro was in the DR), is absurd and stupid.
