i myself rode one of those donkeys last night and believe me it was fun. They say those donkeys dont like the ppl and such and that they dont know what to do. They were trained all of those particular ones for at least 12 years. And to say they are afraid of the ppl. haha the more the crowd laughed the more they showed off. Mine got on the ground and started rolling round. just like it was trained to do and when the ppl stopped laughing it got up and started moving. to say that they should find another way to raise money is plain dumb you should have saw how many ppl were there they gym and stage have never been that packed. so the peta needs to back down.

Here's my opinion -- and that's all it is, an opinion:
The people at PETA can be total idiots, i.e. the evils of donkey basketball -- but what's wrong with treating "stinking animals" with dignity and respect? I almost lost one of my nads years ago at a donkey basketball game when one of the animals decided to play battering ram with my crotch. I wanted to club the thing with a pipe wrench until I calmed down and realized that I was the real ****. As fundraisers, DB games are stupid, stupid events, a few steps up from the Circus Maximus. And speaking of circuses, those with traditional animal acts come close to being evil. It's taken me 53 years to realize that.
There's gotta be better ways of making money. Maybe we could round up all the Catholics or Jews, or Atheists, or Muslims, or African-Americans, or French, or Amish, or Wrestlers, or Defensive linemen, or Pitt Alums, or Mullet-Heads, or Schellsburgers or Fill In The Blank, slap a saddle on them, and ride them until they drop from exhaustion.
And PETA people who go about exhorting and shaming others to become vegetarians give all vegetarians a bad name. Years ago I decided to become a vegetarian, but when I tell people I'm one, most look at me as if I had a third eye -- or else as if I'm going to swipe their Whoppers. It's almost as bad as people finding out you're a Trekkie.
And finally, I usually don't quote scripture because I'm not smart enough to do it well, but here's one of my favorite passages pertaining to animals -- in Proverbs 12:10: "A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel."
That's good enough for me.

Ok, I completely agree that PETA was being stupid about this.....but did we seriously have to put a clip of a rabbit being blown to pieces on here? A rabbit is a small harmless animal (except if you are a gardener), and a donkey is just an @$$. So, lets try to keep the slandering of animals to a minimum on bleachercoaches, I really did not want to, or need to see that.
And for all of you donkey lovers out there, I'm sorry for calling them @$$es.

even if PETA did write an article about possum kickin how many ppl would actually stop doing it. In fact it might even want to make ppl do it more. Im not saying there is anything wrong with possum kickin cause it is fun but i know a PETA article about that would just urge me on to do it more.
