Ok Bella, take a minute and step down from your self-erected pedestal. You talk about the fact that I have been on Free Republic for a month. Are you condescendingly insinuating that I am therefore less entitled to share my thoughts than you? Perhaps I am just not allowed to disagree when you people say that a murder victim got what he deserved for threatening to harm an animal. You obviously value the lives of animals more than people, but your right, that doesnt sound anything like a PETA espoused belief. (Sarcasm) If you dont want to be associated with extremists, then don't act the part.
Secondly, you questioned whether or not I have been banned before. Do you have anything that would lead you to come to that conclusion, or is that merely what you would like to see done to somebody who doesnt agree with you? Wow, you must have quite a stack of books aside the fireplace waiting for the next frosty night.
Lastly, I am an Eagle Scout, I ride horses, I have worked a farm, and yes, I too have pets. Youre not the only one who likes animals here; I just don't share your extremist view that people who threaten to harm them should be summarily murdered. The Bible gave man dominion over all the fish in the sea, the fowl of the air, and all the creatures of the earth. Last time I read the scripture, I didn't read anything about him giving PETA, ELF, and the environmental-weenies the right to protect those creatures through murder and destruction.
And you don't think that with dominion comes responsibility? G-d's earth and all G-d's creatures are throw away?

Because you are a newbie, you might not realize that the majority of FR doesn't live up to the stereotype of conservatives portrayed by liberals. If you want a forum that does, I suggest you try LF.
