Unable to Debate The Issues, Animal Abusers Resort to Personal Attacks
Opinion
People who exploit animals for profit or entertainment should know that animal rights protests come with the territory and are a cost of doing business. But instead arguing their point of view, exploiters often resort to vulgar personal attacks that validate the very argument that the activists are making — that they are abusive people.

Personal attacks are quite common, but they’re rarely caught on camera. The few incidents that have been captured show the true colors of people who gratuitously exploit and abuse animals:
Fur vendor says, “Drop dead, you faggot. Get AIDS and die.”
Horse-drawn carriage driver says to Latina protesters, “What a whore you are. Are you a married woman with children, or are you barren? This one might have six or seven kids because, you know . . .”
A rodeo supporter in Canada says to a protester, “I like the color you are because it comes out of my ass. I will fucking blow your country up, you fucking shit-skinned goof.”

A horse-drawn carriage drivers says, “You are one of those faggots. I’m not into guys, man. I don’t fuck guys.”
In the early 1990s, the Ku Klux Klan conducted membership drives at pigeon shooting events. In a video highlighting some of the violent attacks against them, the animal rights group SHARK noted that “the kind of people who shoot pigeons tossed out of boxes are the perfect candidates for those hate organizations.”

Your Turn
Perhaps some animal exploiters employ personal attacks because they can’t argue on the merits of the issue. Activists, on the other hand, have the truth on our side. We should therefore stick to the issue and avoid the temptation to fight back with personal attacks in the heat of the moment.
Where do I go to resign from the “human” race?
Let me know when you find out. But at least there are some of us who are ethical.
I would love to sign out of the Human Race, I fancy going to

The people who respond this way are infantile and completely misguided. In all honesty, they probably KNOW they’re in the wrong, but don’t care. Many people feel it’s their right to use and abuse animals in any way they see fit – for their “enjoyment” and profit in many cases. These verbal attacks are their way of trying to provoke protesters into a reaction of some kind – whether it’s emotional and/or verbal. My heart goes out to protesters who can take it and let it roll of their backs – I’m not sure I could.
It is clear from the footage above and a fact already observed by anyone who has ever participated in an animal rights protest, that those who profit from the misery, suffering and death of the voiceless, are the scum of the earth. They do so knowingly, and without an ounce of compassion for those they exploit for self-serving “needs” and greed. They are, for the most-part, ignorant, cruel, bullies, accustomed to using anger, hatred and abuse to get what they want. Their days are numbered, and they know it! We are hearing the last gasps of cruel, heartless, exploitive industries and individuals who will eventually be swept up by the winds of time and change.
Thanks for shining a light on the difference between activists for change and those entrenched in their bloodthirsty, greed-driven ways to “make a buck”!
Anyone who hurts a defenseless creature is capable of other horrible acts including hate. It makes sense that they try to bully protestors as they don’t want to change and intimidation is there only course of action. They can’t justify their behavior, so what else can they do? Activists really are brave and at times selfless to take them on.
