Yes you read the title right, PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals), made a complaint to the Ontario Natural Resourses Ministry that the 130 would be racing turtles in Ailsa Craig must be released before Ailsa Craig's36th Annual Gala Days and Turtle Races,

Ailsa Craig officials are going to rent pet store turtles for the event instead! Apparently turtles when they race get stressed and that seems to be a problem. Maybe if the purse (price) was larger they wouldn't be as stressed. Look at the Maple Leafs, they get paid millions and still lose and that doesn't seem to stress them out!

I know nothing about the physc of a turtle, but aren't they supposed to go slow? I see lots of slow moving people and they don't seem too stressed to me.

I have to confess that I may have to go into hiding, I swatted a mosquito yesterday and I hear PETA is looking for me. Have got to go now, going to buy a wig (man made), a mustache (natural fibre), sunglasses (oops, another offense) oh well, chain me, hang me but please do not take away my real estate license. Real Estate is something that I do know about!

Ty - There's a place in New Mexico called Deming ... I remember the town's welcoming sign - home of pure water and fast ducks!  Seems they have annual duck races on (in) their pure water. 

2010 Great American Duck Race will be August 26-29, 2010.. 4th Weekend in August! 

Don't tell anyone, or they have to rent rubber duckies!  Thanks for sharing and we'll be watching for your disguise!

Jack, you won't believe this but a PETA advocate recommended renting rubber ducks! What are they made out of? Last time I heard was that they are a byproduct of oil!

Darn, I always thought PETA stood for People Eating Tasty Animals.  I suppose they are starting to run out of real issues to deal with.  Maybe Pamela Anderson will go to Ailsa Craig and strut about naked in protest.

Ty,

PETA seems to get a lot of publicity no matter what they do.

I hear Pamela Anderson won't be showing up to protest in her stencils and bikini.
