Raise awareness, maybe not. But it could help me raise something completely different, if you know what i am saying. *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*

Ok! SURE!!! Fine PETA. We'll do your PSA-porno. But not for the reasons you described.

See, I'm pretty sure if someone managed to get off to a chick while pictures of dead whales, baby birds drowning in crude oil, decapitated elephants and mutilated dogs float by, they're going to get put on some government watch list.
AS THEY SHOULD.

I mean...WHAT THE FUCK?
I was actually thinking that. That site is probably just going to attract a very strange crowd PETA probably doesn't want to be associated with like people into hardcore crushing....

Of course it won't work. There's plenty of porn on the internet already that -doesn't- involve crazy people forcing their beliefs down your throat.

Peta pornsite, I have to admit, reading the title I really thought they was going to be publishing bestialities clips, to show that we can live and love with the animals instead of eating them.
So when I read the article and it turned out that it would just be normal clips with random "do not eat animals, you monster" segments thrown in(wonder how many ppl are going to skip right next to the next sex act) I got disappointed.

Where's the poll option for PETA are the last people we need as the face of the animal rights movement?

...oh dear God, how the hell has PETA become the face of the animal rights movement? It lends the entire ideal a taint of stupid.

As a group, they have given money to domestic terrorists. http://www.animalscam.com/references/peta_rodney1.cfm

They've supported groups who've repeatedly destroyed medical research facilities http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2002/fall/from-push-to-shove/eco-violence-the-rec and shown individuals not only how to make firebombs but destroyed millions of dollars of other people's homes and decades of medical research http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Coronado

PETA kills animals. Seriously. http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2008/04/27/peta-and-euthanasia.html Of course, they kill the vast majority of animals given to them while other groups give animals home. http://www.thisistrue.com/peta.html

As you might guess based on my handle, their inane stance toward medical research is the most annoying thing from my PoV. PETA actively opposes gifts to the American Cancer Society and March of Dimes because they claim these groups conduct NEEDLESS experiments. Wait, what? PETA is claiming they know what is useful cancer research better than the ACS?

You've got to be kidding me.

PETA recommends the donations of human cadavers (ok, that's fine) to replace animals in research. Erm. Yes. Because cadavers are somehow able to demonstrate how a process works in vivo. Oh, wait. They're dead and can't. Nothing out of context here, get it from their site. http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2011/04/18/surprising-ways-to-help-animals-in-laboratories.aspx Let me set this straight. I agree when cell cultures are able to do the job, living animals should not be used. What do you do when cultures can't do the job? http://www.understandinganimalresearch.org.uk/resources/document_library/download_document/?document_id=8 lists advances that a PETA-based doctrine would shut down. Penicillin. The Salk vaccine against polio. Heart valve replacement and transplant. Blood transfusions. Anti-cancer medications. Asthma inhalers. Insulin for diabetics. Training for surgeons. HIV treatments. Diptheria antitoxin. Promising new research such as RNAi silencing. Blah. All this would be gone in PETA's world.

Again, PETA opposing research designed to understand human addiction to treat addicts. Exactly how do you study the biochemistry of addiction without using living things, I have no idea. http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2010/09/24/tax-dollars-thrown-away-on-pointless-animal-experiments.aspx

Peta uses The Onion in order to try to make an argument. Seriously. http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2010/08/03/Gag-No-Gag-Do-Scientists-Torture-for-the-Heck-of-It.aspx

They don't want you to have pets. Again, no out of context information: http://www.peta.org/about/why-peta/pets.aspx Their stances on pet birds, outdoor cats (...no pets, but no outdoor cats? Wait, what?) , catch and release fishing, etc are just as hard line. Forget the fur ads; no leather belts, baseball gloves, or seats.

And this kind of nonsense they do just discredits any actual animal rights group. Support the ASPCA, the Royal Society, something worthwhile. I actually support animal rights, making sure all experiments are conducted with the highest standards of ethical behavior, severe penal and civil penalties for animal cruelty, and even see the benefit of a diet with low meat or no meat. (I go for low.) However, PETA as an organization has somehow let wanks and cranks who know little about science take the spotlight over any movement towards responsible, reasonable actions towards animals. And making it a porn sight game just buries the actual topics and goals of any real animal rights campaign get buried under shock. PETA's filthy associations and silly positions are coming to light and entering the public consciousness, and the more these jokers keep making animal rights supporters look like a lunatic fringe, the less will actually be done.

TL;DR PETA's stunts belittle the animal rights movement and their policies would stifle medical science and responsible human action towards animals. They regularly support terrorists and make those who agree with some of their positions look like kooks. Support more reputable, less insipid animal rights groups in your communities.

The question is "Do you think this website would actually raise awareness?"
I think so, because people looking for "the good stuff" would notice the vegan lifestyle promotion. However, it might not raise the number of actual vegans.

A porn site to raise veganism? Well, despite what people may think, that rules out beastiallity, since to be a vegan means not consuming ANYTHING an animal makes.
I hate PETA, and being a vegan is unnatural (Animals live off eachother, to be a vegan is to tell Nature to go fuck itself), so I am unlikely to support this.

What the fuck....

So how pornographic will PETA go? According to Rajt, it will have enough adult content to qualify for the XXX domain site but also some other graphic images of animals that viewers may not expect to see.
Oh, so they are gonna show us dead animals on that website too? Cause nothing goes better with porn than puppies on fire.

I doubt this would be sexy even if it wasn't about their cause, because have you seen naked vegans?

You can see what a lack of protein and iron does to someone's physical fitness. It's fuckin' disgusting.

To me, this just sounds like some extremely perverted, grotesque fetish site. *shudders* No thanks, PETA. I like you even less than I did before, and I didn't even know I could like you less.

As an organization, PETA is a failure. They routinely go over the top when it isn't necessary, and do more harm to their reputation that good. This "porn site" of theirs is not a step in the right direction. I don't know how people live as vegans, because they force themselves to cut out a lot of things that are healthy and your body needs because apparently glucose is the devil. I may be generalizing a bit, but oh well.

So no. This will do nothing for PETA, but much in the way of fap material.

Do we have a link to the site?

I'll take one for the team and go in first.
Oh yes you'll be the brave lone soul that will risk himself *cough* for two minutes *cough* so you may um... accurately report (yeah that's the ticket) on what Peta is doing. Thank you Oh brave one. sorry, I couldn't resist being a smart ass.

Anywho Is it me or is Peta getting desperate? (and appealing to those who are really desperate HY-OH) I mean seriously Peta porn. Just say that out loud and tell me you don't feel weird afterwords. Peta porn just doesn't sound arousing nor does sit well on the tongue. You know just like vegan food HEY-OH.

I couldn't agree more with your post. PETA are just as bad as any fundamentalist movement. This porn stunt is completely pointless. Do you really think the audience that porn gathers gives a damn about animal rights, much less what PETA has to do with it?

Just dumb. Very dumb.

So... A regular porn site but with pictures of dead and tortured animals as well? WTF?
That's not raising awareness, PeTA. That's appealing to a very niche market made exclusively of people you hate.

As for my opinion, it's stupid. Very stupid. But I consider this a massive triumph for Rule 34.
