PETA's at it again.

I'd read this but I don't think it would help anything.

 

Goddamn animal loving, tree-hugging Arsies!! I say we barm 'em back to the Convict Age before they force bean curd and Tofu down our meat-eating throats!!

 

Lol. Very good analogy.

I've seen quite a few people lump all compassion to animals with that kind of bullshit, thanks to those disturbingly well funded shits.

I was once forced to tell a boy scout camp pastor "sir, PETA are fucking psychos", and in support of this, presented their "sea kitten" bullshit with fish, in defense of my own compassionate yet meat eating position... once I said that, he agreed with me, but had been under some impression that those fucking psychos represent everyone who won't torture animals....

Under what PETA considers equal to human life, we shouldn't be eating maggots, because they're sentient life... Or broccoli, for that matter... It didn't tell you that you could eat it's flowers.... They obviously need to re-think their advocacy of veggie eatin'.... Or of human life, for that matter....

 

I dont think you can put those kinds of attitudes purely on the shoulders of PETA. There are many people who think ALL animal welfare people are nutters, especially those who place the importance and abhorrance of animal suffering on the same level as human suffering. Many of those people would think that even if PETA didn't exist. Some people just naturally have very little, or no compassion for animals. That's something PETA cant take blame or responsibility for.

 

Oh no, PETA didn't MAKE them that way, they just make sure they'll STAY that way.

Everyone has a motive to treat animals well, from religious people to people who just want good tasting meat.

Happy meat is healthy meat is tasty meat.

Look at that, if I had PETA's kind of funding with my own superbowl ads, I could make rednecks everywhere rally for tasty, happy steaks.

PETA's problem is that they want attention, not change... and if they changed anything, there would be nothing to get attention over. They know damn well they're alienating a lot of people, and not converting a single damn one with veggie BDSM commercials during the superbowl.

 

Im vegetarian but I really hate peta. At the end of the day they waste a lot of money on things that either make people mad or unphased. What does putting a women with big breast on the street holding a sign saying go vegan do? Nothing. Or trying to create a porn website? Or throwing flour on some who wears fur, really peta?

 

article obviously isn't there anymore.

but to me - if you feel horrified at killing on any level

surely you should feel horror at the murder of anything living thing.

it's not really right to me

to ignore the murder of animals because they are them

and we are us.

anyways - our importance is self imposed

maybe the planet is controlled by mice after all.

 

sometimes i think people confuse the murder of an animal

or the mistreatment

and killing of said creatures for survival.

this happens in nature.

it's here that peta blur their agenda i feel.

 

For somthing to live somthing must die. Thats the way it is. When your ripping a carrott from the ground by its roots your killing a living thing.

 

it's the way it should be

but regrettably

it seems this is not the way it is.

i mean this happens

but so does the murder of animals.

 

How much does PETA spend on actually saving any animals? I know they have that death van, but I don't consider euthanizing them saving them. The people that run PETA need to be dressed up like baby seals and clubbed a little.

 

I don't really have a problem with PETA. I don't agree with some of their tactics, especially the objectification of women, but the fact is that animal abuse is a horrific and ever-present evil that plagues our world and it needs to be gotten rid of. Personally, when I see people being offended at animal abuse being compared to horrible human crimes, it is more of an example of their cognitive dissonance and refusal to understand the issues than of any confusion on the part of the activist/activists. If you don't see how animal abuse in factory farms can be equated, just watch Meet Your Meat or any other factory farm exposé. If you refuse, well then how can you oppose the charity that produced them? That is cognitive dissonance if I have ever seen it.
