Animal Rights Activists Steal Preschool Children's' Pet Rabbit
In Seattle some animal rights activists apparently stole the pet rabbit of children who attend a preschool. The liberated rabbit is no doubt now hungry and fearful of predators since it was probably dumped in the wild and has no experience of living on its own. Meanwhile, the children are sad. From the story:
Teachers gathered the children in a circle at the beginning of the day so that they could remember Sugar Bunny. Some drew pictures. Others wrote songs."We had a little rabbit. His name was Sugar Bunny. Sometimes we took him out and he ran around and sometimes he rested outside. Where did Sugar Bunny go? Will they give him back? What did they do with him?" were the words to a song that student Braden composed.The people at PETA were asked what they thought. Being no dummies when it comes to PR, the PETA spokesman refused to "endorse" the stealing of children's bunny. Clever use of words: Refusing to endorse is not the same thing at all as condemning the action.
"We talked about how some people have different ideas about animals. Some people don't think they should be in cages," said Peters..."I just pet him and hugged him," said Christian.
Sugar Bunny helped many of the children get over their separation anxiety when they were dropped off at school, said Peters.

Y'know, I'd be willing to eat a rabbit, if it was offered.... But not a chance that I'd take someone's beloved pet, let alone a pet loved by dozens of children, well careded for, healthy, and steal that from all involved.

What a moron to do that.
Why don't more people call PETA on their failure to condem this behavior and instead just "refuse to endorse" ?
I guess if they don't call Islamists on this same sort of "don't endorse" behavior, it is too much to expect them to call PETA on it.
For the love of Saint Peter, this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard! How come nobody in Touchy-Feely World hasn't screamed that PETA is ruining the kids' self-esteme by taking away their bunny, at least?
Stealing that pet from those children is evil. Anybody who has pets knows that humans develop strong attachments to their four-legged children. Yes, I eat rabbit from time to time, but I'd have to be desperate and starving before I'd hurt someone's pet. This wasn't despearte, it was cruel!
