While I'm all for students being able to have a choice in the matter of dissection, PCRM isn't just pushing for that. Even on the first page, you see unproven and unsourced opinions that they claim as fact, such as computer models are cheaper and just as accurate. They're even going so far as to say that animal dissection has a negative psychological impact on students, encouraging cruelty and a lack of respect for life, ignoring the fact that dissection is aimed towards studying and understanding life, and unless kids are dissecting live frogs or cats, no cruelty is involved or even imitated.
The way I see it, it's little more than the typical "we're PCRM, so we're right" crap, same as with most ARA groups.

Not everyone believes the AR hype

It's nice to finally read something that makes sense. I've never seen solid proof that we can't eat meat, that it causes cancer (PeTA and other AR extremists have gone so far as to say it causes AIDS, or at least that veganism cures/prevents AIDS), or that it's harmful to the environment (several of Oklahoma's HOG farms have won environmental awards for how they manage and clean up their surrounding environment-real harmful, that is), and now it looks like I'm not the only one. So enjoy your barbecues, cook-outs and meaty social events. The environment isn't going to die because you did, and neither are you.

Opening post
I originally had a blog about pit bulls, but I decided that if I'm ever going to help their image, I had to tell the truth about those who'd rather see them extinct in the first place-animal rights activists.
On this blog, I'll be posting articles from humanewatch.org, peta-sucks.com and other news sources, including the groups themselves. I'll be covering the main groups, such as HSUS, PeTA and Sea Shepherd, as well as the smaller groups such as Farm Sanctuary, United Poultry Concerns and ASPCA (while the ASPCA is an 0n-the-fence group, too many of their policies and values point towards animal rights).
I'll also make this statement right here and now-I firmly believe in animal welfare. I believe that animals are living beings that are capable of being used by us, but by our using them, we have a responsibility to ensure the welfare of that animal. I do not believe that domestic animals should die out, as is the belief of animal rights activists. I do not believe that someone claiming to be an expert knows more than someone who's worked in the industry for 30+ years and who relies on that industry to put food on their plate. I believe that everyone should be free to make their own choice, and if that means they don't believe domestic animals should exist, or that animals shouldn't be eaten, then so be it and best wishes to you.
Right now, I'm only linking to various sites for reading material and info, tomorrow I should have some articles up.
