| PETA Looking Like Baboons In Moscow |
| 2005-11-10 |
| About 10 members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Alliance for Animal Rights Activists groups have staged a protest in front of the Australian Embassy in Moscow to mark the resumption of PETAâs international boycott of Australian wool, a MosNews correspondent reported. Protestors with backsides covered in âbloodâ staged a lively rally to oppose the Australian wool industryâs refusal to embrace the landmark agreement between PETA U.S. and a prominent group of wool producers that would have resulted in an immediate reduction of lamb mutilations and the end of the international boycott campaign... |

| #10 Forget animals, lets talk about human beings. I guess it would be something less than totally PC for the lefties to discuss infibulation, clitoridectomy, or ritual excision of the labia. Much handier to be born male in the "Horn of Africa" or Somaliland. Such a progress region. |

| #8 Maybe they should turn this practice into a TV show, where the sheep display their scars with pride -- sort of like a tattoo. TLC, drop me a line if you're interested! |

| #7 Are these people absolute morons? We got shown mulesing on school camp. Sure there's a bit of blood, it hurts the creature for an hour or two but it's the kindest thing to do - it stops them getting all infected and maggot-eaten. Can't PETA see that? It's really ridiculous. I see a link between Australia George Bush on Iraq and incurring the wrath of PETA |

| #5 Grunter, thanks for the info. PETA's at their old tricks again. I just want to know how hardcore these "activists" were with the blood on their butts. Were they au naturel, or did they stain clothing? This time of year is pretty damn cold in Moscow (my little weather gauge says 2 celsius at about 3 pm local time). |

| #4 When worlds trash mountains are full of non-degradable polyester winter coats you see these peta-maggots wearing to fur coat regions...(and fur degrades) will they atone for this crime by clubing a bio-degradable seal pup? |

| #3 For those who came in late- in the Australian sheep industry there is a perpetual problem of sheep being infested with blowfly maggots about the hindquarters in humid weather. The eggs are laid in a fold of skin which is soaked in urine and dung, and they soon burrow into the flesh. It is gruesome beyond imagining, and ultimately fatal. So farmers remove said fold of skin, the area scars over, and the sheep is safe from flystrike for life. It is called mulesing, I have seen it done, and in minutes the lambs are feeding and getting on with life. It is performed for no other reason than the welfare of the sheep. PETA is aware of all this, of course. This is just a dishonest attempt to attack the wool industry. And a bloody arse just what they deserve. |

| #2 Ook ook... Cheeze, guys, You say lamb mutilations like it's a bad thing. What if they had it coming, the fuzzy little squealers? Next you'll tell me fur is bad. I mean, c'mon... |
