The publicity savvy folks at PETA are pulling off their latest stunt, suing animal park Sea World over claims they violated the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery on behalf of their killer whales Tilikum, Katina, Corky, Kasatka, and Ulises. According to PETA’s lawyer:
“By any definition, these orcas are slaves _ kidnapped from their homes, kept confined, denied everything that’s natural to them and forced to perform tricks for SeaWorld’s profit. The males have their sperm collected, the females are artificially inseminated and forced to bear young which are sometimes shipped away.”
Experts don’t expect the case to get far, but they got their publicity!

PETA loves animals more than people.
that is the point most people don’t get about them. they want animal rights to the point that is it equal to people rights.
and what’s worst is that they seem to add many elements of marxism into the mix… why? I don’t know.
This reminds me of the time when Lincoln freed Willy.
I wonder if African American people are going to feel slighted by this HUGE slap in the face?
It’s silly and laughable, at best. PETA has nothing else better to do, then to use shock value to gain publicity.
It’s pathetic of them to even make such a comparison.
I wonder why PETA never made a statement about the guy who likes to sex dolphins?
So, keeping them in captivity to entertain the masses is wrong… but, making sweet, sweet love to them is A-ok?
Fucking weirdos.
