Is there anyone with half a brain who actually listens to these people? Now they are asking China to show kindness and respect for rats as they celebrate The Year of the Rat.
“People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, said it has asked the Chinese government to consider animal welfare laws for rats used in laboratory experiments. The group also recommended a series of guidelines for animals used in science.”
Oh, that’s a holler. The country that won’t even grant real rights to its own people is going to go about protecting the very rodents that infest their cities. I can see that going over real well in China.
PETA must be so lost in their own self righteousness that they don’t even realize how thick they sound when they make these declarations.

These statements are becoming a cliche. China has been pressured into changing it's ways for the past fifty years or so - and yet nothing happened.
Rather than worry about rodents, they should be worrying about the number of forced evictions which are taking place due to the Olympics. They made a commitment before being given Beijing 2008 that human rights abuses would decrease - and yet the Olympics themselves are making way for more and more abuse
But then PETA folks have never been stopped for mere consideration of sanity, reason or anything like this.
Remember that story when they petitioned Arafat re the donkey used to carry a bag of dynamite and blown up at a checkpoint?
