Petition Ban the sending of welcome messages into outer space

The welcome messages and information packs accompanying the recent voyager-1 mission should be omitted from subsequent vessels until more is known of possible recipients.It is naively assumed that idividuals intercepting such data would be benign advanced intelligent souls facinated by our achievements and amused by our quirky ways.However aliens are equally likely to be colonists escaping exhausted worlds and unwilling to share with what they perceive as parasitic, backwards, superstitious creatures devouring the flesh of dissimilar animals and hell bent on the destruction of a beautiful world. They might find our fast food culture particularly antagonistic if they are avian or porcine evoluents.
