Eco-Animal Terrorists Decry Military Use of Sea Critters

"Wars are human endeavors. While a person, a political party, or a nation may decide that war is necessary, the animals never do. Like civilians, they often become the victims of war, but now, the U.S. military is deliberately putting animals in harm's way. These animals never enlisted, they know nothing of Iraq or Saddam Hussein, and they probably won't survive," argues PETA.

Animals against the war? Who died and left PETA to decide what animals think?

There's no question that animals haven't "decided" that war in Iraq is necessary. But that's a specious argument since animals simply can't reason on such a level in the first place.

Interdependence between humans and animals has existed for thousands of years. How would human society have progressed if PETA had been around at the dawn of agriculture, another important "human endeavor"?

Animals, apparently, would have had to "volunteer" to become food, pull wagons, plow fields and guard livestock.
