I actually came here after making a pretty emotionally heavy post on another thread... I needed a good laugh, saw the word "PETA", and knew I would get one 
PETA Asks Texas Town to Change Its Name

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Unless they're animals which they have in their shelters, in which case they're going to euthanise them.
Usually when people butcher animals it's a quick death. Predators will claw, bite, main and play with their food before they eat it. Sometimes from the back to the front while it's still alive. I'd prefer going to a butcher's instead of being let loose to lions and such... We should put PETA in the wild so they can educate the animals on being kind and loving to eachother. Who knows, maybe they'll get some of them to go vegan!Shirokurou said:
It's almost the end of the year, they must have a quota that needs to be filled or they won't receive as many crackpot members next year.Brutal Peanut said:
This is *almost* as bad as that time they ran that add campaign calling everyone who feeds children meat child abusers...
Well, you obviously don't know who was behind the anti-littering campaign. It was someone whose name rhymes with 'Buck Chorris' (HINT: it's Chuck Norris) and that man is willing to beat anyone's ass at any time, especially when people mess with Texas.DailonCmann said:
Yes, very delicious. Almost as delicious as orphan meat. I mean...what? I said no such thing. I laugh at such false accusations...bahahahahahaha-*cough, hack, cough* >.>Mad World said:
PETA are annoying, but you can ignore them. It's the Animal Liberation Terrorists you have to worry about, but understandably there aren't many of them around and they aren't exactly very smart, so most of them get caught very easily.
I'm just glad I never did research in the US. In Australia, we haven't had such nut-bags protesting outside our research buildings (at least, not very often. You'll see a few in summer, but campus security asks them to get the hell out pretty quickly, and all our doors have pretty good locks. Plus, we also tend to store most of our animals offsite or in secure rooms, so even if they smashed the windows they wouldn't be able to get to the animals out - so they have no reason to invade labs since they couldn't "save" their precious "captives" - as if a mouse has the intellectual capacity to even comprehend what is happening to it or it's "captivity". We give the mice/rats food and water and a (mostly) painless death. They only live 2 years anyway.
And if any of these terrorist lunatics did break in, we have some pretty nasty chemicals with which to defend ourselves if necessary.

Tofurkey?
Haha no, nope, I don't believe for one second that this is a campaign that anyone anywhere thought would have a positive outcome, I refuse to believe anyone is that stupid, not even the multiverse theory where there exists an infinite number of alternate universes each with an infinite number of possible outcomes has a string of events that leads to PETA successfully changing a towns name to Tofurkey, that's how stupid of an idea this is.
On a side note, I don't even like Turkey, but now I'm gonna buy one, cook it, eat one slither of it, then throw it away. Man I hate PETA.

That's all PETA ever do these days...It's not about doing something worthwhile and productive, it's about making the headlines. Doing completely ridiculous things just because they know people (like us) will talk about it and get them more attention.Roofstone said:
Every time I hear about PETA whining about eating animals being cruel, I want to eat my own face out of aggravation.

If by good intentions and decent causes you mean funding domestic terrorist groups, sure.
I am tempted to treat PETA the same way they treat Reagan in this video:
Nothing to see here folks, just move along.

Is anyone disappointed that they wanted it to be "Tofurky"?
I mean, if they were asking it to be changed to "Awesomeville" or something, maybe...
