What do you think of PETA?

[denver_nuggs_15]

I don't like them at all. I like the idea of animal rights to an extent, but PETA bothers me. They go about it so badly IMO. They support a freaking terrorist group (Animal Liberation Front). They make up lies about almost everything they say (chimpanzees don't eat meat according to PETA) and they brainwash people with this crap. They only spend 1-2% of their budget on actually helping animals...the rest goes towards lawsuits. And finally, most people that I've met that "support" PETA's cause have no clue what PETA actaully does. They just jump on the "animal liberation" bandwaggon because their dogs and cats are so cute and being a veagen is the best.

Any thoughts? I'd like to hear a PETA fanboy's argument supporting PETA. Any thoughts on how far animal rights should go?

I can conceptually understand and get behind the concept of animal rights, especially in a practical sense since I know that animals are treated very cruelly in the food industries.

That being said.. PETA?Lying, manipulative, hypocritical, terrorist, the-ends-justify-the-means BS organization.

PETA can go to hell.

Ding, ding, ding.......the winner. I actually have a t-shirt that says the same thing. It's my BBQ shirt.

We didn't kick and claw our way to the top of the food chain to eat bean curd!

I just can't believe there are humans that put animals before people. They are the same as the ACLU. They don't care about anything except there own agendas.

Whoa, hold on.

PETA and the ACLU have basically nothing at all in common. The ACLU defends the civil rights of human beings. Period. The ACLU does not engage in terrorism, extreme manipulation, or abject hypocrisy. And what's more important than human rights?

It seems they really like attention. Why else would they complain about something as stupid as killing a fly?

When someone from PETA gets sick or gets an infection, do they let it run it's course because it would be inhumane to take antibiotics?


Don't get me wrong, I am aware that there are serious animal cruelty issues out there and I don't condone that in any way, but I don't really believe that PETA is doing anything about it.

Huh? What does that have to do with anything?

Bacteria aren't animals.

That SOB!!! How could he!

LOL

Okay, bad example.

If a PETA member has a cockroach infestation in their house. Do they exterminate them or otherwise get rid of them? Or do they let roaches continue to roam around their house... The point is, it's stupid to call attention to someone killing a fly and suggest it is inhumane. I'm sure no PETA member has ever swatted at a bug flying around their head.

[CarlSpackler]

Honestly, I think they would leave the roaches. Not me. I lived in a roach infested apt in college and discovered the hard way that one crawled in my Mtn. Dew can.

America is next. He has no compassion!

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! OMG I would flip out if that happened to me. i freaking HATE cockroaches!!!!

I'll just say I had to spend quite a while cleaning up Mtn. Dew spray. Nothing like having something wriggling around in your mouth. For the humanitarians, the roach lived and prolly went back and had a good laugh with his buddies.
