PETA for kids

[Jegsimmons]

I don't even trust regular vegetarians ( outside of religious ones) why should I care what these domestic terrorist say?

so you trust religious domestic terrorists then?

peta is the left wing equivalent of the nra, they are stupid but ultimately less harmful then the right wing version

No I don't .
And saying the NRA is more dangerous is an opinion (especially since they teach gun safety and don't demand you change your way of life for what they believe in, so in my opinion, saying the NRA is dangerous is unjustified in the case.)

 

[DarkRyter]

They spend so much time and effort on bullshit.

All their problems would be over if they just took all their funding and biologically engineered animals without emotions.

Then we'd be pretty much eating robots. Meaty delicious robots. No more ethically questionable than a husk of corn or a slice of baby.

Wait, did I say slice of baby? That's silly of me. Babies come in heads.

Raised an interesting point.

NRA stands for a very reasonable point I guess, and that's the more educated you are the less danger you are in, which is true about almost anything (Outside of the Mafia).

PETA however encourages you to raise vegan kids, which kills and disables babies and pets (Vegan cats are a big one) and forces you to spread the misinformation. The more Misinformed you are the more dangerous Peta becomes.

That is a major reason I was so horrified by the Peta Kids site.

IF it wasn't for PETA, I'd still be saying "fish eggs", without knowing the real term is "sea kitten babies".

They "officially" renamed fish as "sea kittens".

Alot of it is how you approach it I guess

I can't get on board the PETA hate wagon here. Their website isn't any worse than any politically motivated website and is about 60% correct when it comes to actual facts.

Edit: I noticed my post could be pretty easily misinterpreted. In addition to that previous statement, I'll also note that only about 10% percent of their website deals with factual claims at all, putting the estimate of "useful information" on it at about 6%, which is par for the course.

But if you dont eat meat youll be weak from lack of protein.

That ain't true at all buddy.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

It's worth remembering that PETA kills all the animals they "save". I seem to remember an anecdote that went something like this:

PETA will blow up a pet store if even just one of the animals are tortured, then they'll immediately set those pets free, only for them to get run over on the highway literally 5 seconds later.

Seriously, PETA kill more than they save. I have reason to believe that the pets they keep as a result of (let's face it, illegal) rescues, they put down afterwards and then hush up everyone who is in on it.

Holy crap, dude. PETA doesn't blow up pet stores. They just do overenthusiastic (some would say "retarded") campaigns about animal rights issues. Maybe you're thinking of ALF [http://www.animalliberationfront.com/].

Edit: You know, you probably want the wikipedia article instead of their website. Here it is. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Liberation_Front]

I think he's referring to some stats that Newsweek dug up a couple of years ago. According to their records, PETA euthanizes about 85 percent of the animals they save.

I don't recall PETA blowing up any stores, though...

 

[Thundero13]

Sort of off-topic but i'd just like to say because some eople don't make this distinction, i'm a vehetarian and I hate PETA, so when you hear someone say they're a vegetarian, don't jump to that conclusion, this annoys me to no end...

Okay I will have to admit there are substitutes like nuts and beans(And kinda fish cause I heard they cant feel as much pain as other animals.My bad.And protein isn't the only thing that keeps you musclebound.Once again,please forgive me.

Fish feel just as much pain as any other creature. THink about that next time you go fishing.

I no longer fish for this reason.

They had a 97% kill rate for all the animals they "saved" last year. 96% the year before that and 99% the year before that. They are truly misguided and foolish.

I still seriously find it appalling how we continue to let PETA, a known supporter of domestic terrorists, continue to operate at all, let alone enjoy its tax-exempt status. That goes for the Sea Shepard people too.

I hope Whale Wars ends one day with everyone on those boats getting shot. Then I might actually forgive Animal Planet for giving publicity to such a disgusting organization.

Yeah, I do remember reading about that. I'm not well informed enough to know whether or not no-kill shelters really work that well, though, so it's difficult to say whether or not PETA is actually at fault here. If the choice is between letting an animal live a short, miserable life on the streets or putting it out of its misery, euthanasia is not necessarily the wrong choice.

Okay, again, I find this very interesting.

FOr the purposes of sheparding this topic from devolving rapidly, and tha I am Australian and am not informed on this:

Peta are Tax Exempt?!!

And

Whale wars: All I saw was the South Park version. We Australians haave Oceanic Batmobiles that (Usually) stop the Japanese whaling in our waters, but there was a huge diplomatic issue when one of the whalers rammed and destroyed one of the 50 million dollar boats maliciously.
See, we actually do shit about whaling.

Could you describe what whale wars is. Also I did not know it was PETA assosciated

 

[Kingpopadopalus]

I belong to PETA and I take offense to thi..... Oh you ment THAT peta. The one for the ethical treatment of animals right? cause I belong to "People who Eat Tasty Animals"

While I don't support going out and sabotaging meat processing plants or damaging legal whaling ships[footnote]Though following them around and blowing the whistle if they step a toe out of line is fine.[/footnote], calling them "domestic terrorists" is going a little too far. I've never heard of anyone involved with animal rights intentionally hurting people, except economically. They always go for property damage. "Terrorism" in my mind should be a term reserved for far worse crimes.
