Be High Profile But Not Logical

Last year I posted how charities are becoming scam and to further elaborate that point and to fully display their ignorance, PETA comes to the rescue. The Kentucky Derby this year had a tragic end where the 2nd place horse, Eight Belles, had to be put down after breaking both of its front legs. PETA quick to cease any spotlight they can instantly issues statements demanding the jockey be fired because they 'think' the horse had broken it's legs prior to the finish of the race and the jockey kept whipping the horse, and thus, forced the horse to fatally hurt itself...do they have any proof of this or even a hint of evidence? Of course not...but that doesn't mean they can't demand for someone to pay and in this case they feel the jockey is to blame. And then, of course, the media grants the members of PETA air-time for them to further elaborate their stance and that's when they babble about how these horses are mistreated and this incident just spotlights how cruel these owners, trainers, jockeys, etc. are to these animals. Well, that's where you lose me...I don't know how anyone involved in PETA or any other organization can claim that this multi-million dollar horses are mistreated in anyway. Theses horses are the 'superstars' of the animal kingdom...they are pampered and catered too in a manner that even the moderately wealthy folks would envy. And then after their 'career' is over, the best horses are set to 'stud' for the rest of their life...being only fed the finest of foods, roam the greenest pastures and rest in the nicest stables.

Also, to think that the owner of these horses would enjoy or, at the very least, not care in the least that one of his multi-million dollar animals had to be put to death after the biggest horse race in the world, this is all preposterious yet PETA incinuates that is the case.

I wish the media would not view PETA as a respected, non-profit organization but their entire cause and action from the organization never seems to make any sense or be logical...but rather, I think PETA has set the benchmark for most all non-profits....doing anything of substance is actually optional, but focus solely on getting exposure.
