Its odd that when a shelter puts a pet down, its the holocaust, but when they do, its euthanasia, isn't it?The_root_of_all_evil said:
PETA Requests Cooking Mama: Vegetarian Kitchen

- Start date

That's PETA's problem, and frankly being a meat lover and a vegetable hater, I could care less about PETA's militant stance against eating meat. There are plenty of idiotic groups out there. You named two yourself: Al Qaeda and KKK. They don't concern me, and I could care less what their manifests state. Extremism is bad in any way, period.AceDiamond said:
All I'm stating is Cooking Mama is a game that could benefit from having a vegetarian version released from Majesco's point of view - and Majesco may very well release such a game, but it won't be from buckling under PETA's pressure; it would be because Majesco can make money out of it.
If PETA won't be satisfied until all meat references are removed from Cooking Mama, well, they can remain bitterly dissatisfied because that day will not arrive.
They really aren't doing the majority of vegetarians any favours with responses like this. But then Majesco's genius comments put them in position where either way they responded (militant or "hey-where-really-all-friends-aren't-we?) would make them look like dicks. Which they are.
The KKK and Weather Underground come to mind.cball11 said:
Seriously, all PETA does is make bad flash games and through fake blood at people. That's not terrorism, that's just being annoying.
What I find really bothering are the vegans/vegetarians who are so damn polite. It makes me feel really guilty for finishing my hamburger.
3000 animals taken in good faith and then murdered, people's live and properties threatened due to a difference in opinion?Pseudonym2 said:
Here's my favourite though. [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,322190,00.html]
First, Fox News, really? I might as well quote Counter Punch then.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Second, Peta does not threaten peoples lives. It's not like they're the unabomber or idiots like John Zerzan who want kill off almost the entire human population.
Sure they may comically bombastic, more interested in the spectacle than any decent critique and they have of nasty habit of destroying stuff. That doesn't mean they're advocating bombing people though.
That was a joke. The 3000 pets taken away from their owners and then euthanised wasn't.Pseudonym2 said:

I'm still laughing over the idea of them saving animals by lethal injection. Not.
PETA has handled press for the ALF, as well as given members funding. ALF gets in the way of animal testing for medicinal reasons, which gets directly in the way of producing cures for diseases. They have funded, lend legitimacy to, and defend the ALF in publicPseudonym2 said:
And a fun bit of hypocrisy, they often advocate nothing good comes of animal testing yet founder Ingrid Newkirk takes animal produced insulinIngrid Newkirk said:

PETA isn't just some benign organization. They have funded, and will probably continue to fund the ALF and similar organizations that impede scientific progress. They are a danger to medicine and the people who rely on medicine to survive.
I think the way PETA compares animals in slaughterhouses to victims in WW2 concentration camps is far more disgusting than anything we meat eaters could ever do.
i wonder why i'm bothering to throw my hat into this three-ring circus.
being a vegetarian, i gave a speech yesterday that promoted the idea of tolerance from both sides. PETA is run by a bunch of lunatics who think that their extreme measures actually accomplish something. they should stick to promoting better farming conditions for animals and less gluttonous tendencies instead of trying to convince people that they should give up meat altogether. that is just plain ignorant. the same goes with smokers - just because i don't smoke, doesn't mean i think you shouldn't be able to (just not in my face).
it goes both ways - you aren't going to sway a vegetarian to eat meat by sending them burgers in the mail or whatever. everyone hardens up when put under pressure to do something they don't want to. if someone tried to force feed me meatloaf, i'd probably go down on their mother, videotape it, and slip it into their porn collection to completely ruin their pleasure.
i think the major issue here that everyone is failing to recognize is:
THIS IS A STUPID GAME SERIES. WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT VIRTUAL COOKING.

Thank you for stepping in. We're not here to berate vegetarians, that's just the side-dish. (Ho Ho)ironfist86 said:
Most of us 'evil' meat-eaters actually agree with the idea of not torturing defenceless animals. Hell, my cat keeps me on a very strict leash. The problem is that PETA, by all it's activities, are hurting the idea of being a vegetarian.
Don't like meat? Fine. Don't like cruelty? Fine.
Inflicting your views on others through murder, hypocrisy and death threats? Really not fine.
Twisting how other people see the thoroughly decent vegetarians or animal lovers? Also not fine.
Khell and others probably don't have half as much hatred towards PETA as PETA has for people who actually care for animals. And it's some of the neutrals, like yourself, who are likely to get hit from either side.
