An Open Letter To Animal Activists
I am not going to point my finger at the individual who did it, but I find it very distasteful and hope that you also find it equally distasteful.
Today I saw an animal activist on FriendBurst stating that the Tsunami that killed several thousand Japanese was the earth’s payback for the Japanese whaling industry. How many of these people who died were involved in the whaling industry? How many of all these displaced people are involved in the whaling industry?
If this is the way that you promote your agenda, I don’t want a fucking thing to do with any of you!
THAT is pretty messed up.
I don’t think it represents animal activists in general any more than the Westboro Baptist Church people represent Xtianity, but the calling human tragedies “payback” for some “wrong”… yeah… the attitude you’re describing is akin to Fred Phelps’ gang.
What’s next? Marching with signs like this?
For the record, this was not me who posted it, I would NEVER wish/support harm or death on any person or animal, we are all connected :love: I agree
Some folk are just goofy…I agree, that’s Phelpsian.
I hate to comment on things like this not knowing the context.(but…
) It does seem over the top. I have seen similar incantations by an environmental blogtivist here. As with anything, emotions can make us say and do things that when we review them later, we cringe and say to ourselves that it was not really what we meant to say. Hopefully, this person will realize that the offending statements were over the top and at least attempt to make amends.
Earth Day is Friday, April 22nd. Let’s not let something like this person’s irresponsible statement distract us from a great cause.
John Muir once said :…” When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”
:love: :love:
Mate I despise the Japanese Whalers who invade my back yard. But to link that with the disaster that has happened in Japan is crazy. Your readers might want to remember Christchurch and that the first teams that arrived were from Australia and Japan. A month later we lost those teams and some of our own USAR teams to go to Japan. whoops ex on the phone be back later.
:love:
I don’t like those who go do this crap such as whaling either, but no one seems to gripe about the fact that there are European countries that do the same to seals.
Thing is, I’ve heard just about everything that way. It’s disgusting. People have said that the Jewish people went through the Holocaust and genocide because they killed Jesus (or because they’re greedy since they’re good with money). Louisiana got Hurricane Katrina because New Orleans was the heathen/voodoo capital of the USA. Now this. So what will we hear next? Americans are getting hit with this huge recession (this is at least the third one, since there was one before WWI, and then the big depression right before WWII), because Americans are the fattest country and think we should be the world police.
Can anyone say superstitious? Consider the source and figure they’re too dumb to know what they’re talking about. Right now, they’re getting attention they don’t deserve for being a racist animal lover.
700 Club… Pat Robertson… God hates Haiti etc. This is exactly the same with a different Halloween costume. Ugly.
As an animal activist…I am shocked!!!!!!!!!!!! I am actually speechless! I put humanity first and strongly believe we are here to take care of the earth and live harmoniously as one. To say that about the Japanese who lost their lives was justice for the whales is cold hardhearted and uncalled for…that just makes me want to vomit! They need to second guess their thoughts, apologizes and erase their blog! Man this really bites…no wander when things like this happen people think animal activist are criminal! CRAP-O-LA 😯 ❗
I agree that this works against the animal rights cause. All countries have industries that are harmful to various species of animals. By that reckoning, we should all be drowned in tsumanis, vegans and all, because of the indiscriminate nature of natural catastrophes. I am sorry to hear this.
I don’t know who said this, but this is very shocking 🙁
Even we could call to boycott a country which is torturing and killing its animals, we have to remember that we never should hate the people of this country because they are not all bad people.
The individual who have posted this should remember that in Japan there are many animal activists.
Does he happy of their dead too?
John, am I possibly right in thinking that this was a comment made by someone, that has been taken somewhat out of context? Perhaps give us the context so we can examine this a little better?
Well…since you mentioned it…. You can do what I do…skip all comments and blogs by the various people on here with “causes”. IMHO…most is inappropriate for a SOCIAL SITE. And more than inappropriate….rude and arrogant comes to mind … when a long cause-type comment is left on another person’s profile. But…that’s just me… I just delete them, but I would be lying if I told you I am not annoyed by people deciding what THEY will add to MY profile page.
About the “causes”… I think a blogspot, tumblr, WordPress, or any number of places where a person can have their own website is more appropriate than annoying a bunch of people on a SOCIAL SITE with crap nobody reads anyway.
Hey…don’t blame me…Allah brought it up…poked my cuckoo cuckoo button and I went off. But, isn’t that how SOCIAL SITES work? 😈
Yea, that’s kind of taking things too far.
OK so now you got a whole witchhunting gang going here against AR folks? Now whose being “Phelpsian?”
I’m lost. Could anybody direct me to the assault weapons aisle? Christians is Egypt are getting out of hand.
As far as I know, that shit came from the insane mind of a woman who uploaded a video on youtube and it has nothing to do with animal activists or friendburst,beside Afsd who preach and practice and not only for animal but for all, I know 2 or 3 animal activists or advocates and none of them would say such a thing. ( Don’t mix animal activist with religious extremist and post the source where you read such thing. )
I am here to speak for Human Rights. I installed a dog door. Why do they make me get up to let them out the front door instead?
Pardon me if I go advocate on this blog Mr. Sawyer. I just want to say for the record…

I really hate dogs and people who have dogs that bark 😮
You make a great point here Allah- I am new here.. so decided to stop by and start reading some folks.
I saw that same sentiment from a friend on facebook. She isn’t a animal rights advocate though and she deleted her page here as far as I know. It must be a different person. I was pretty appalled by the comment. Whaling makes me furious and I wouldn’t have a problem with the murderers getting killed in some act of nature (being eaten by whales is a lil fantasy), but I thought at the time it was a pretty horrible thing to say. This is someone I believe to be very intelligent and also has a good heart. I just don’t know what she was thinking.
What a beautiful trainwreck this is!
LOL internets
for the record I didn’t do nuthin’ did not stir the pot..
did not make tasteless jokes about Japanese wimminz floating by… nothing…
LOL
It was not my intent for this blog to be used for animal rights advocates to start fighting each other. I did not realize that many people use multiple profiles for different things. I use one profile for everything I do. I am just me with all my contradictions. I may have to look into turning off comments if these fights continue.
