PETA Wants To Kill Lucy!

Why? Simple, they don't care about Lucy, they want some media exposure. If they cared about Lucy, they would leave her alone. She is sick, too sick to travel, it would kill her. Does PETA care? NOPE!

They bring in some slick Toronto lawyer to convince a judge that Lucy is suffering, but the guy is an idiot!

High-profile Toronto lawyer Clayton Ruby, representing People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and Zoocheck Canada, says the city is violating Alberta’s Animal Protection Act by keeping Lucy in isolation and in an enclosure.

“This is a city that’s having difficulty paying for snow removal. Why are they going to blow hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep Lucy in these horrible conditions?” said Ruby during a news conference Monday in Edmonton.

Having difficulty paying for snow removal? No, we just have lefty idiots on our city council that can't budget themselves out of a paper bag. I wonder if that Toronto lawyer remembers that Toronto has to call in the army when it snows there! I guess it saves them from having to pay for removing their snow. If he thinks we Albertans are going to be impressed just because he is from Toronto, I suggest he goes on a tour of some of our buffalo farms, or maybe muck out some stalls after the dairy cows have left the barn. We know animals, we care for our animals and we will do whatever we think is best for Lucy, but we do not need some snooty lefty lawyer from Toronto telling us about our animals. He should be embarrassed to be representing PETA, they kill puppies don't they?

They have never visited her, they don't care for her everyday. Their vet has never bothered to visit her. They have done nothing to help Lucy on a day to day basis.

"It is my opinion that the conditions and standard of care at the Valley Zoo are causing Lucy unnecessary distress and that these conditions are not in conformity with [zoo association] standards," Dr. Ensley said in his affidavit.

He based his conclusions on his experience in the field and a review of information about Lucy's condition, although he didn't personally examine her.

The decision to keep Lucy in Edmonton has been the subject of controversy, with animal rights groups enlisting celebrities such as Bob Barker and William Shatner to push for her transfer to an elephant sanctuary.

Lucy has spent all her life here, this is all she knows, and she is loved by her caregivers and Edmontonians. We are doing everything we can to make her life comfortable, and PETA wants to tear her away for everything she has ever known and send her to a strange place, to probably die. But PETA is good at sending animals to die. We should be suing them for cruelty to animals.



Here is a truth about PETA. They would prefer to use their money on slick lawyers to sue Edmonton for one sick elephant to get media attention, then to spend that money on the dogs and cats they have in their care. Now who has blood on their hands? They kill more dogs and cats in one year than our hunters kill seals! Hypocrites!

Exclusive: PETA’s Pet Killing Program Set a New Record in 2008
Public Records: PETA Found Adoptive Homes for Less than 1 out of 300 Animals

Animal lovers worldwide now have access to more than a decade’s worth of proof that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) kills thousands of defenseless pets at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. Since 1998, PETA has opted to “put down” 21,339 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of finding homes for them.

PETA’s “Animal Record” report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just seven pets.

Just seven animals -- out of the 2,216 it took in. PETA just broke its own record.

That's right folks, PETA kills dogs and cats. It is cheaper to kill them than it is to feed them. They need all the money they can get to throw pies in our Ministers faces and to try and kill Lucy the Elephant. Oh, they want to "save" her, not kill her, even though they have been told the journey might kill her, they don't care, because if she does die, then they can just say, see we told you to move her sooner.

The sicko's are the people of PETA. Prove me wrong. Send letters to the paper telling PETA to butt out of Lucy's life. Tell them to clean up their own organization before they yap about seals and elephants. And for heavens (animals) sake, stop donating to them!

Leave Lucy ALONE!

You stinking supposed animal lovers want to kill Lucy! Leave Lucy alone!

My family has enjoyed watching Lucy for years. We want nothing but the best for her, as do her caregivers. Why are PETA, William Shatner, and Bob Barker so concerned after 32 years of Lucy's life? Could it be that they actually care about her? Let's see how they care about other animals:

Kill Knut? The Twisted Logic of Animal Rights Extremists

Animal rights activists, as SPIEGEL reported Monday, aren't so enthralled with the polar bear baby. They are concerned that Knut, who is being raised by human hand after his mother rejected him, is in danger of losing touch with the bear necessities. Some would like to see him dead.

Why?

"Raising him by hand is not appropriate to the species but rather a blatant violation of animal welfare laws," animal rights activist Frank Albrecht told the mass circulation newspaper Bild, whose front page headline Monday read "Will Sweet Knut Be Killed by Injection?"

Berlin Zoo is allowing Knut to be raised in such a way that the bear will have a behavioral disorder for the rest of his life, Albrecht believes. "In actual fact, the zoo needs to kill the bear cub," he adds.

He's not alone. Wolfram Graf-Rudolf, director of the Aachen Zoo, told the newspaper, "I don't consider it appropriate for the species that the little polar bear is being raised on a bottle." The animal will be fixated on his keeper and not be a "real" polar bear, he says. However he feels it is now too late to put Knut out of his supposed misery. "The mistake has been made. One should have had the courage to put him to sleep much earlier."

So kill the baby polar bear. Funny Bobby Barker claims our harsh winters are bad for Lucy, so maybe ALL zoos with polar bears should return them to Canada, or as some wacky eco-nut has suggested bring the polar bears to the Antarctic so they can feed on penguins. Oh, but PETA saves animals, so we should listen to them:

Hey, Booby Barker, maybe you should look at PETA and their record of animal abuse. Leave Lucy alone!

Bob Barker can't convince Edmonton to move elephant

Earlier this week, the zoo released an expert report that concluded a move would endanger the 34-year-old elephant's life.

Dr. James Oosterhuis, a veterinary consultant in San Diego, examined Lucy and issued a letter to the zoo explaining how the elephant is having breathing issues.

"Her current respiratory problems preclude any thought of moving her and in fact, it would be life threatening," wrote Oosterhuis. "It is my opinion that it would be unethical for any veterinarian to recommend moving her."

Zoo manager Linda Cochrane said it appeared they simply agreed to disagree with Barker and the two animal experts who joined him at the meeting.

"We're responsible for this elephant," said Cochrane. "We've had her here for 32 years and we just want to do what's in her best interests."

I think Bob Barker should be put into a retirement home. After all, he would be much happier there than with his friends in the TV world. Wouldn't he? Yeah, that's what should be done. He is old, and can't think for himself, so he should be in a retirement home. Let's send him to one, so he can live out the rest of his life in comfort. I suppose it should be somewhere warm, so he won't be cold. How about Bangladesh?

Bet he wouldn't like that idea, any better than Lucy likes his ideas. Go Home Bob, and look after your own problems.

The eco-nuts will not listen, they don't think killing thousands of dogs and cats is bad, but one happy well cared for elephant in Edmonton is a means to increasing donations, and don't let them fool you, it's all about money. Like the 3 protesters in Washington who got arrested for stopping traffic in DC.


Yikes! Can you say off your rocker weirdos? Lets see, 21,339 animals killed by PETA, versus 1 elephant, that they are willing to kill by moving her. Knut, they wanted to kill him too, what's with PETA and killing animals?

Leave Lucy alone!
