> Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
> An animal rights group sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture yesterday asking for an investigation of the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, where a wild whitetail deer died last week after jumping into the polar bear tank.
>
> People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants Elizabeth Goldentyer, the USDA’s eastern regional director, to assess whether the zoo complies with the Animal Welfare Act, which requires outdoor facilities to be secure against “animals and unauthorized persons,” according to PETA.
>
> Zoo officials believe the buck jumped an 8-foot perimeter fence Friday morning and eventually made his way to the top of a 20-foot wall enclosing two young polar bears. The deer ran from and fought the bears for a few minutes before zookeepers lured the animals into separate holding pens.
>
> The deer went into shock following the encounter and had to be euthanized in accordance with USDA guidelines, zoo officials said. The two 3-year-old bears were unharmed.
when was it decided that peta can request anything… they are a made up nothing with no power so why do they keep holding this country hostage.

So some retarded deer thinks it’s a good idea to jump into a pen with polar bears, and it’s not ethical treatment on the zoos part…if you are that dumb, you deserve to die.
Survival of the fittest…that deer wasn’t fit to live.

Deer are seriously stupid, I saw one get hit by a Semi in broad daylight. Isn’t it a basic instinct to know that something large and loud coming toward you is probably bad?
PETA is a waste of everyone’s time. NFL players involved in drug deals and murders get less hassle (and less jail time) than one who gets tied up in some dog fighting. What kind of message does that send?

i love all animals and it does bother me a little when an animal dies, but PETA is out of control, if our ancestors wouldnt have killed animals to use as food and shelter, humans would be extinct already. peta is terrible

that fighting dogs is more morally reprehensible than doing drugs. Which is true.

What about shootings…of people? There’s not much of an outrage. The dog thing was a bit inflated.
I don’t like dog fighting, but I see no grounds on which one can judge it to be immoral.

Those bears looked like they were having a blast chasing that deer. And the damn deer didnt apear to get caught at least on the video. They should have let them tear it apart, probably the most excitment those bears would have had the whole life.
PETA does get a little out of control, Domesticated animals I can see caring about, but Deer. Come the fuck on, they run out in front of cars. And they reproduce at a retarded rate.

kinda correct…
that was the day the constitution was finished. then it had to be sent out for the states to ratify it. as you know, mr “give me liberty or give me death” patrick henry was against the constituion.
june of 78 is when 9 states ok’d it, thus making it what it is today…
