PETA Tries to Guilt Animals Out of Mafia Wars

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

Keeping animals from suffering is an admiral goal, but thinking that animals are equal to humans is crazy territory.

Humans are at the top of the food chain for a very good reason.

No, see, hypocrisy doesn't enter into it. I've just discredited much of what you've said through valid applications of reason.

As opposed to dismissing an entire movement because of fallacies.

That's all there is to this. You're reasons for dismissing PeTA are irrelevant to this topic and there's likely nothing more to discuss.

I haven't dismissed all animal rights movements, but a large part of those movements are extremists, like PETA, which you seem to cannot admit.

And you haven't discredited much if anything, you've only imposed your own opinions and added numbers to my estimates (Because I can't be bothered with finding exact numbers for something as trivial as internet discussions).

Besides, last time I checked, PETA murdered more animals than meat eaters did.

They do. They are the murderers, not the factories that produce meat from pigs and bulls and whatever (at least they're humanely euthanized or already dead of natural causes).

Heh, I wouldn't call a bolt to the head "natural causes."

PETA members are all sorts of crazy, but I'm not sure hypocritical is the right term to describe them. When exactly does PETA murder animals?

PETA kills about 2/3 of the animals they take in, then ***** about shelters doing the same thing. Also they have said that they wouldn't even want one animal harmed if it would cure cancer, they are just fucking dicks and mostly just around so people will give them money.

Honestly these people make me happy I own a leather jacket and eat meat on a content basis, god I hate them.

Extremist is just a pejorative word for labeling someone you don't agree with. I thoroughly disagree with far-right Evangelical Christians, but their positions are no more "extreme" than my own or anyone else's. PeTA just has a set of criteria for what ought to be, and sticks to its guns. If they see an ethical dilemma that most people are content to dismiss or ignore, it doesn't mean that PeTA is wrong.

It doesn't help that a lot of what PeTA does is misunderstood and misrepresented by others.

Good point, but are you condoning some organisations like the Animal Liberation Front? Because PETA is.

Isn't the Animal Liberation Front the crazies that like to firebomb research centers?

 

[Fursnake]

PETA has little to do with animal welfare nowadays, it is a sick, hypocritcal radical-to-the-point-of terrorism organization which really just wants to do away with pets in general and force people to live a life of vegetarianism. PETA kills so many animals every year I am surprised they just don't change their name to People Euthanizing Tons of Animals. I absolutely cannot take PETA seriously nor do I have any respect for the organization anymore. Misunderstood? I don't think so...misrepresented...the only thing they are misrepresenting is the idea of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I don't see them doing any good lately, for their organization or for animal rights.

 

[ImprovizoR]

So PETA is now trying to protect animals that don't really exist. They realize that animals in video games aren't really animals, right? Right?

Yup, that's them.

That's a dick move PETA...

Ah thought I had heard of them, I find it rather funny that they are on the domestic terrorist list, you think PETA wouldn't want to associate with a group that by the governments standards is about as bad as the unibomber.

 

[dfphetteplace]

I'm all for treating animals well and everything, but it seems PETA are detrimental to their own cause.

 

[ProtoChimp]

When will PeTA learn that no one gives a fuck what they have to say, not since they started funding terrorists and making disgusting comparisons to the Holocaust. Those sick fucks.

I've been avoiding this PETA bullshit for a long time, whats this about the holocaust and supporting terrorists.

You'd think so, but a huge part of people who supports PETA financially are unaware of PETA's support of ALF.

It even says on their official website: "?How can you justify the millions of dollars of property damage caused by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF)??

Throughout history, some people have felt the need to break the law to fight injustice. The Underground Railroad and the French Resistance are examples--"

It's hard to believe that they can trivialize slavery, fascist dictatorship rule and genocide, and then continue comparing it to animal rights.

 

[Canid117]

Isn't PETA just a bunch of hypocritical morons? That's what I always hear.

1:Supporting terrorism
2:traumatizing children with video of the interior of a slaughter house
3utting down a larger percentage of the animals they rescue than the pet shelters they openly protest for putting down too many animals
4:Giving 40 thousand dollars to a known arsonist as a reward for burning down animal research labs
5:mysteriously buying an industrial size fridge and installing it in their headquarters for god knows what reason

Just a few of the crazy things those crazy kids at PETA have done over the years

They often publicly praise a known eco-terrorist group called the Animal liberation front and in speeches their leaders have compared chicken hatcheries to death camps in the holocaust.

 

[Serioli]

A story from AOL News states that PETA euthanizes over 90 percent of the dogs and cats relinquished to its headquarters in Norfolk, Va. In 2009, PETA euthanized 2,301 dogs and cats - 97 percent of those brought in - and adopted only eight, according to Virginia state figures. And the rate of these killings has been increasing. From 2004 to 2008, euthanasia at PETA increased by 10 percent.

This information was checked and found correct by other animal rights/vegetarian/vegan organisations.

One of the numerous reasons I don't follow or agree with their (PETA's) methods.

 

[Joey245]

At this point, I am not shocked at all that PETA is acting like a bunch of idiots.

As a player of Mafia Wars myself (while reading up on Escapist and listening to Kingdom Hearts 2's soundtrack, mind you), I could not care less about the inclusion of animals. I'm too busy trying to master the New York and Cuba Job Tiers, dangit! Stop adding new stuff! I've got enough to do.

But yeah, honestly, is ANYONE still surprised at what a bunch of morons PETA is?

Nope. I'm not saying anything about them. But calling them "extremists" isn't useful.

But it is true.
