There is a long list of problems facing the U.S. right now. All the occupy bullshit, the recession, the housing market, the job market, Government corruption, poverty, hunger, crime, drugs, the Kardashians, reality TV in general and the list goes on. I think we should put some of the more pressing issues in front of the U.S. Supreme Court and let them try to sort it out. The other option is to use the court's time and resources for something completely unimportant.
On Monday, February 6th 2012 five Orcas from Sea World in San Diego were given a chance to have "their" case heard in Federal Court. Yes Orcas, or as they are more commonly known, Killer Whales. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) brought a case against Sea World on behalf of the five Orcas saying that they should have the same rights as human beings under the 13th Amendment. If you don't know what the 13th Amendment is, read a book. Or I'll just tell you, it abolished slavery. So PETA is arguing that these Killer Whales should have the same rights as human beings and are currently being enslaved in their small tanks at Sea World.
Now listen, I love animals. But come on. Where will this stop. First it'll be these whales. Then race horses, then guard dogs, then police dogs, then mascots, then house dogs, then house cats, then birds, then do I really need to go on?
If I'm not mistaken a killer whale by the name of Tilikrum killed it's trainer two years ago, and that was the third time that particular whale killed someone. Was it put on trial? Was it sentenced to death? NO, it's the first name on the list of plaintiffs in this case. Are you kidding me? PETA you need to get your head on straight. If you want these animals to have the same rights as humans, then that whale should be dead! It killed three people with hundreds of witnesses. And what happened? It was chalked up to a rare but horrible act of a whale acting on instinct. Well, then kill it! It's a murderer.
I'm all for the ethical treatment of animals but this is going too far. They are not humans, they are animals. They are trained and fed and put on a show for paying citizens to enjoy. They are not covered under the Constitution of the United States because they are not human beings and should not have the same rights that human beings have. Enough said. Stop being stupid and focus your energy on more important matters. For Christ's sake, this case is tying up the Federal Court and costing the tax payers money. For what? To see if these whales should be set free?
This is a slippery slope PETA. If the ruling goes in your favor you can say goodbye to the entire Zoo industry. Millions of jobs will be lost. Billions of dollars will be lost. WHY? Because you can't just accept the fact that they are animals and sometimes they just need to be kept confined. For the sake of Human Beings just get off your high horse (which you shouldn't be riding anyway, it's unethical) and chill the fuck out! I'm going to PETA headquarters in Norfolk, VA to get a Hand-job for a Ham Sandwich from one of these righteous assholes.
