Am I the only one who read the article that they were just kidding? NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE NOTICED THIS HUGELY IMPORTANT DETAIL.

Beside that though, yeah they suck.

Wow, I know PETA were exaggerated whiney bitches, but this "euthanasia" shit is way beyond anything I had ever imagined. I am startled, to see something as crazy as this exists, I don't understand it. Americans. ARE. WEIRD. :b

Anyway, very inspiring video, I'll be sure to warn my whiney vegan friends about the dangers of PETA. By the way, this people make amazing movie villains, so deliciously full of Evil.

Great episode about PeTA, Bob, though I disagree with many of your positions regarding animals. For starters, there should be no such thing as "crimes against animals."
Really? So you wouldn't consider it to be a bad thing if you starved a dog nearly to death, chained it up so that skin actually grew around the metal of the chain, and threw rocks at it for having the audacity to beg its owner for some food, until it inevitably died a long and painful death?
I'm unabashedly apathetic to the pain of my fellow man who is scattered all around the globe, I see no reason why I should feel any differently towards animals. If it helps you get some perspective, I do not believe that there is any such thing as "rights"; the concept of "rights" is a social construct that is fully contingent on the time and place that they exist in.

Yes, it's not like they can feel anything.
No, it's more to do with me not caring than with animals not having feelings.
But the statement that there should be no such thing as "crimes against animals" implies that you think it's a good thing to torture them, a better way to put it would be that you think animal abuse is bad, but you really couldn't care less

I'm in conservation biology and even I can't stand these guys. They are extremists in the worst possible way. I get that most of them have their hearts in the right place, but they have to understand that you can't force others into your beliefs and that sometimes, you have to be able to compromise with people. It's their way, and anyone who doesn't follow it is on par with Hitler.

People seem to get the wrong idea about PETA from stuff like this. The thing is that from PETA's perspective they're not evil. To the rest of the world they look like heartless monsters who run around killing cute little kittens and puppies when they don't feel bad about what they're doing at all, other people just don't understand.

PETA considers domesticated animals aberrations of natural species. Thus they should all be eliminated. Humanity brought something into the world that never should have been, and PETA is the only organization with the cajones to do what must be done to correct the error of domestication.

Other than the corruption in the upper echelons of PETA the only thing they're doing wrong is not siding with the majority of people who don't want to admit that their adorable wittle puppies and cute fluffy kittens were a mistake.


You can call them hypocrites and every insult under the sun but until you understand that this is what they believe then their genocide will continue. PETA isn't something to be ignored, as said in the comments they're the nazis of the animal world and should be treated as such. Ignoring them will only cause their actions to go unchecked, so give them the attention they deserve. The MovieBob brand of attention. PETA needs to be shut down NOW, not ignored.

Glad to see the information being put out there more. After seeing it on Penn and Tellers Bullshit! I was surprised it wasn't more common knowledge, hopefully this and other people will try and spread the word.

"PETA knows that gamers are pretty much the only subculture that hasn't figured out that if we ignore them they'll go away."

No. Gamers are the only subculture that are so mired in insecurity that they are almost defined by the way they lash out at anything they perceive as less than 100% supportive of them, and thus are easily exploited by shady business such as this.

For this episode and the many equally insightful ones that you have made Bob, I would gladly buy you a beer in the extremely unlikely event in which I run into you in a pub somewhere.

Really, dude? Really? Did you think anyone thought that PETA people woke up every day and said 'TODAY I SHALL DO EVIL!'? Then they pet their white cat which they proceed to immediately kill?

Of course they don't think of themselves as evil. No one outside of a bad Hollywood movie or videogame does. Bob just pointed out some of the things they do, which they themselves are quite aware that would not curry them favours with the population at large. No one is accusing their poisition of being inconsistent, we're just positioning ourselves on the opposite side to them

I find it hard to believe that there are still people who don't know how messed up PETA is. Nevertheless, thank you for doing this - maybe there's a few animal lovers out there that will now stop giving money to these idiots.

On top of all of the things you mentioned Bob, the worst part of PETA for me is the fact that they have openly supported, both financially and publicly, the Animal Liberation Front. It is an organization that was included in the United States Department of Homeland Security list of domestic terrorist threats. Look these guys up some time, they are some scary people.
yeah I was kinda of disapointed that he didn't bring up thier terrorist links as well

Wow.

I never was much of a fan of PeTA before, but those facts make me want to actively work against them. Then again, I think Bob is probably right: PeTA will go away if we ignore them. At least I hope so.

I was originally going to comment on PETA's stupid allegations that Mario is pro-fur.

Then I was going to laugh and ask them what they thought of Hearing-Aid Dogs, Drug Dogs, Cattle, or frankly all of the many ways we've used animals to improve our and their lives.

... Then Bob talked about some of PETA's actions, and then I lost all words.



Screw you, PETA.

It can't be stressed enough that PETA, at best, tacitly supports ALF and other known terrorist organizations and, at worst, funnels money and supplies to them.

In fact the only good thing I can see that they've done is prevent Hamas from using suicide donkeys. And it's debatable how involved they were in that.

I didn't know a few of those things. Mostly the part about the founder being a dog catcher who killed a lot of animals, the employees throwing dead animals in other people's dumpsters, and the one about them getting animals from pounds and killing them nearly instantly rather than looking for homes. Just goes to show how twisted they are. Damn, I really can't stand PETA. Thanks for enlightening me a little more Bob.

Now, 99% of the time, I don't even think about them. But I do have an opinion on them. Who actually supports them anyway? As I understand it, most other animal rights groups hate PETA.

In this internet age, I still find it hard to understand how so many people haven't figured out that PETA is an organization for scumbags, by scumbags.

I really liked this episode. This is what the big picture should be about more often.

I know it's been said before here but it bears repeating that PeTA funds known arsonists. Also one of the higher ups in PeTA depend on pig insulin to live despite PeTA being against all animal tested medication and animal derivatives especially. I can't find their exact stand on the matter but if you have diabetes PeTA usually thinks you should die, but you know if you pay enough money to PeTA then suddenly what they consider animal cruelty becomes ok.
