P.e.T.A. Kills Animals, Routinely

My anger comes from the lies of P.E.T.A.

You don't have to inform me of the pet population problem. I'm well aware.

 

I hate hearing about animals being put down our animal shelter here no longer does that they keep them until a good home is found

 

I've been reading PETA's site and literature, and while I am weary, I'm all for anything that raises awareness. They sent me some cool stickers and recipes.

 

I have to ask this to anyone who isn't against PETA. Not even just supporters - even people who don't outright hate the group. Because any sane person should hate them.

Do you have a pet? Because in PETA's perfect world, you wouldn't be legally allowed to have a pet, because they consider that slavery. They don't even make exceptions for service animals for disabled people. So, the blind guy with the dog? He's a slave owner in their eyes.

Also, are you in favor of domestic terrorism? Because PETA is. Technically, they say that they aren't for or against it, but that they understand why someone would do it. But that pretty much means that they're for it, but won't come out and say that they are to protect their image. Also, they were big supporters on a guy named Rod Coronado's during his trial for setting fire to a research lab at Michigan State University.

As for raising awareness, they scare kids with that entire "Your mommy and daddy kill animals" comic book. That's not raising awareness. That's making the animal rights movement as a whole look bad.

PETA's head loony in chief, Ingrid Newkirk said something along the lines of "If I had the guts, I'd light the match myself." So, basically she'd be a terrorist if she wasn't a coward. She also compared KFC to Nazi Germany because KFC kills a lot of chickens. That's kind of a completely fucked up and horrible thing to say, comparing fried chicken to the holocaust.

It looks like their opinion is it's unfortunate we have animals bred for companionship.... okay, I disagree with that, but they clearly say they aren't out to take people's pets. Still, if they raise awareness for animal rights overall, that's a good thing.

 

But they raise awareness for animal rights in pretty much the same way as the Westboro Baptist Church raises awareness for Christianity.

Passing out comics to kids about how their mommy's kill animals. Have you seen the cover of that? It's reprehensible that they'd manipulate children like that.

Comparing fast food to the slaughter of six million men, women and children in concentration camps. I'm sorry, but the cheeseburger I had for lunch today does not equal Anne Frank and anyone who could possibly suggest such a thing is completely insane.

Also, they've said that if testing on animals lead to an AIDS cure, they wouldn't support it. So, forget those AIDS patients wasting away in agony, we gotta protect the rights of rats and chimps.

PETA is the extreme lunatic fringe of the animal welfare movement. They aren't doing good things. They're raising awareness of the movement, sure, but what kind of awareness are they raising? They are the face of the animal rights movement. Most people know that they're completely out of their minds and quite a few people think that they're dangerous, and I sort of think they are too.

What they're doing is making the animal rights movement as a whole look crazy, because they're the biggest animal rights group as well as the loudest and one of the craziest.

 

I wonder what Halocaust survivors think of this.

 

This is fucking low.

 

Precisely.

Well then, that makes everything ok.

So you ignored everything else I said?

And when I click that image and try to go to the page, the page doesn't exist.
Looks like someone has nothing better to do than stalk and tag.... I'm flattered.
You do realize search engines run mindlessly off tags? You've been spouting off those keywords, so of course images from the page with the keywords will pop up.
Looks like you've run out of arguments and have resorted to personal attacks and bullying. Stay classy.
This is a forum for debate, not childish harassment.

 

I'm not sure what you're going on about. It was just a mindless observation. Why are you offended?

 

I'm not offended, more amused, but I'm pretty sure this is a forum and not a schoolyard. Remember, harassing behavior and personal attacks are NOT allowed, let's keep on topic before this thread gets closed, shall we?

 

I've been weary of PETA, definitely because of the reports of them putting down animals, etc.
I used to think their cage stunts, interrupted runway shows, and pouring ink on fur, were immature tactics.
I started practicing Yoga, which brought me to the path of no harm.
That inevitably brought me to vegetarianism, which brought me to animal activism, which PETA, infamously or famously, is known for.
I've read their response to the accusations of killing animals, and while I'm not completely convinced and still rather suspicious,
WHAT I DO SEE
is them raising awareness, protesting, distributing literature, animal activism, education.

I still think they're rather extreme but I support activism and raising awareness.

 

Like I said, I'm not sure what you're going on about. I havent harassed or attacked you in any way. Feel free to point out where I have. Otherwise stick to the topic and stop pulling the bully card when there is no bullying to begin with. It's a cheap distraction.

I'm sure PETA has done some good things for animals. But I think their tactics are repulsive to say the least. They're hypocritical to the max and like others have said, they paint the animal rights movement in a bad light. There are far better organizations that do A LOT more good for animals than paying for multimillion dollar ad campeigns. I respect the ones out there that would rather see that money go towards helping the animals directly. It seems to me that PETA is more worried more about publicity than anything else.

 

No, not at all, but c'mon you have to admit that with all the negative posts/comments about PETA, that one does stand out as pretty friggin' hilarious.

Please tell me you are at least able to laugh at yourself occasionally. :rofl:

 

Sappho, you obviously care a great deal about the welfare of animals, and that's wonderful. But I think that's clouding your judgment a bit about PETA. Just because you're part of the same movement as PETA, doesn't mean that you have to like them. In fact, you probably shouldn't. As I said in another post, they are pretty much the Westboro Baptist Church of the animal rights movement. They're raising the wrong kind of awareness, they're supporting bad people like firebomber Rod Coronado and the Animal Liberation Front, who are absolutely a terrorist organization.

They're a horrible organization and they sucker a lot of good, kindhearted animal lovers like yourself into looking past all of their fucked up traits to find the small handful of good things that they do.

I found another really fucked up thing that they do - they're in favor of banning the breeding of pit bull terriers because their negative reputation gets in the way of animal welfare or some shit like that. As someone who used to have a pit bull that I loved dearly, this hits pretty close to home, and Newkirk can eat shit and choke on it.

The article about it I found is apparently from an animal rights group that really hates PETA, and there are a lot of them that do. It also talks about a bunch of other awful things PETA and Newkirk say and do. Keep in mind, this is from another animal rights group. They're on the same side as PETA and Newkirk, and they clearly aren't fond of them to say the least.

Just click that link and find the part about pit bulls. I don't have the time to read the entire thing, but I'm pretty sure that most of the rest of it is pretty damning against PETA.

"dog lovers won't care, because they can adopt another dog, and if you stop breeding them we won't kill them". What the FUCK?

But yeah, that seems in line with their ultimate plan for domestic animals: kill them all, and after you "murder" them (the word PETA would choose, in many situations, to refer to what they see as the unjust killing of an animal) they won't have to suffer any more murder! how ethical!:love:

They are mentally ill at best, and sane but repulsive at worst. The ethical side of me thinks that PETA members should be ethically and humanely euthanized, to save animals from their "ethical" treatment.

 

laugh at myself, yes.
have an entire thread derailed so everyone can harass me, not okay. Remember, there is a human at the end of the keyboard.

Fine, I'll concede there. It just seems PETA is the LOUDEST. What kind of better organizations are there out there? I'm getting involved with all of them.
