PETA against cloning...and IAMS pet food
Tonight I was watching Fox News on Cable TV. There was a woman on, and I was not sure whether I wanted to hug her or turn the channel so I would not have to listen.
You have heard of the cloned kitty that some woman paid $50,000 for after her older beloved cat died?
So has PETA, and they are against the cloning of any animals. Why? Because there are so many homeless cats dying on the streets and in the breeding farms, already living in the homeless animal shelters and PETA's spaying/neutering centers, that the woman on Fox feels the $$$ would have been better spent on adopting a kitty from one of the animal shelters and using the rest to spay/neuter and feed all the ones already alive. That goes for the breeders and the pet stores, too... we should not buy any animals from any of them for several reasons including so many put to death because they have no home, or treated terribly, over bred, then killed in the breeding farms and the pet stores....
They also are not happy with IAMS pet food, apparently.
While the woman who paid all that money to clone her dead kitty has the right to spend her money any way she wants to, I have to agree with the PETA spokeswoman that far....
However, then we part company.
I cannot agree with much of what they believe, but wonder how they feel about EMBRYOnic Stell Cell Research?
I also:
Wonder about their thoughts of the ethical treatment/mutilation/killing of our pre-born babies?
Wonder how they feel about Partial Birth Abortion?
Wonder how they feel about selling embryonic parts for experimentation?
Wonder what they think about selective abortions of human beings?
Wonder what they think about abortions for those children with deformities or something like Down's Syndrome?
And I wonder if ANY of them are pro-HUMAN LIFE?
Human beings are made in the image and likeness of God....
SAVE the Human babies....
LIFE IS PRECIOUS
FROM CONCEPTION TO NATURAL DEATH.
CHERISH IT!
PROTECT IT.

Generally PETA comes off as not caring about much other than animals. They would rather people spend their time saving animals than fixing societies other problems. JMHO

This isn't directly related to the topic, but my husband and I are anxious to do the right thing with our pregnant dog. We got a dog from the pound 2 weeks ago, and have found out that she is pregnant. Now, we don't know whether we should let her have the puppies and then spay her, or spay/abort the puppies. Being very pro-life, both of us are uneasy with the idea of destroying unborn puppies. We are also equally uneasy with the idea of adding to the already overloaded pet population. Does anyone have any thoughtful, doctrinal suggestions? Thank you, Elise
I am vehemently pro-life from conception to NATURAL death.
That said, there is a very distinct difference between Humans and animals. Human beings are made in the Image and Likeness of God with Immortal souls. The 'soul' of animals are not the same. Some would say that is arrogant. I do not agree.
God put Man (Adam, as the first man is called in Genesis) in charge of His Creation. We are to treat all of Creation well, as good stewards.
I cannot tell you what to do about your dog. If this were a human being that we were speaking of, I would have to tell you that according to Church teaching, the 'babies' are to be protected before and after birth, and that permanent sterilization is a grave offense.
But that is about human life.
If it were ME, I would not be able to have the puppies killed, sorry. But that isn't doctrinal, and it isn't binding, as is the teaching about Human life.
Because this topic is from the archives (three years ago), I am not certain that you will have any other responses.
God bless, Elise! Thanks for stopping by!
