Quoted Text
Teen activist wins PETA award
BY MICHAEL GOOT Gazette Reporter
Reach Gazette reporter Michael Goot at 395-3105 or mgoot@dailygazette.net.
Zach Brooks of Rotterdam wants everyone to know about the cruel conditions under which some animals live.
Brooks, who has organized protests against inhumane treatment of circus animals and of those animals killed for food, said he is against anything involving exploitation of animals for money.
For his efforts, the 16-year-old Mohonasen High School student has received a Star Street Teamer Award from peta2, the youth division of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
“It was really cool. I’m so excited. I always read about people getting awards,” he said.
Brooks said he first got interested in animal rights when his brother became a vegetarian and became involved with PETA.
“I watched a video from PETA, and I was like, ‘I can’t believe people are doing this to animals,’ ” he said. “Since then, I’ve done everything I can think of to help animals.”
He protested against the treatment of animals in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. “They beat their elephants and there’s a lot of cruelty with animals,” he said.
Brooks has also protested against the process used to kill poultry for delivery to fast food restaurants.
“They hang the chickens up by their legs, slit their throats. Sometimes, they boil them alive in water. It’s disgusting. I would never, ever eat somewhere like that.” .......................>>>>.....................>>>>...............http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01203&AppName=1

Personally, I would be happier if the kid won an award from 4H for raising animals for food. |

Yet no one calls it imposing morality to prohibit the taking of life after a child is born. We’re told about a woman’s right to control her own body. But doesn’t the unborn child have a higher right, and that is to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?” – Ronald Reagan |

Young folks should join the NRA and 4H .. and learn something useful. |

DVOR is channeling a dead relative, that was a city mouse....... |
| ...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

You folks need some serious psychological help. |
