Uhm, WTF?!

They're damned roaches!  Eat them or I'll stomp on them!

[Sidoh]

That's so stupid.  I wonder if they're against eliminating foul infected with the avian flu?

I'm absolutely sure that they ARE against killing those foul, as well as against killing cows with BSE (mad cow disease).  Because after all, they're all animals, and PETA is People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. 

I may not like PETA, but I totally understand why they'd take this position.

I fucking hate PETA people.  Especially this women.  Who the fuck cares?!  You don't see them protesting against Lions for eatting animals do you?  What's so different between a human eatting an animal/bug and a Lion eatting an animal.  Atleast when we do it isn't as messy and the animal dies quicker.

Then what do they recommend we do?  Lock them up in a cage, quarantined from the outside world?  That's not very ethical either.  It doesn't seem that they can think past five minutes in the future.

Why are you asking me?  I don't know!

[Sidoh]

Why are you asking me?  I don't know!

But you said you can see why they take the stance they do! :(

Haha, I see reason for being against that, but there are far too many reasons to outlaw it, I think.

I do see why, killing the birds isn't very nice.  But I don't know what they'd choose for an alternative, and I'm neither going to research their viewpoints, nor am I going to pretend I know :P

Haha.  That's what I'm saying.  I'd be interested to hear what the propose that people do as an alternative (I'm not asking you :P).  They say killing disease-ridden birds is mean, but there really isn't much of an ethical solution as of now that doesn't also entail high amounts of danger to humans.

Personally, I think most of PETA's viewpoints are dumbass hasty statements.

So if a group of humans got an infectious disease that was 50% likely to be fatal, would you prefer that those humans be killed, or quarantined?

Leper colonys.

We obviously have more & higher rights than animals.  We're the dominate species on earth, we make the rules.

Quarantined, assuming it is contageous.

No wonder they're against this. Cockroaches do not taste good. If this were a cow eating contest with A1 steak sauce I'm sure they'd approve.

A leper should be quarantined. Someone with the avian flu should be asked not to bite others.

EDIT -
This reminds me of a local outbreak of Whooping Cough, recently. The victims of Whooping Cough were quarintined to their homes officially.
