People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

They're extremists. They do things like go to McDonald's and show children with hamburger happymeals slaughtered cows and such. Sorry, I like to eat animals, they fill my belly and taste great at the same time.

PETA U.S. activists protest Burberry’s store in New York City and cover the windows in red paint to protest the retailer’s use of fur.

Somebody covered my windows with paint I'd be knocking their vegan asses around with a baseball bat (no offense to all vegans, just these clowns).

Haven't watched the attatched video, but thought I'd throw in about the topic in general...
I'm down with animal rights activists, and those who strive to prevent cruelty, mistreatment, and negligence of animals, those that want to preserve natural habitat, and those that make sure all animals (inclusive of those intended for market sale) are treated, and fed well...but there's a right way to do everything, and fanaticism is not it, in fact more often than not it only serves as a backward step to those that do things the right way...makes others take the cause less seriously, IMO, doesn't do anyone any favours.

That's just rude and distasteful. People like this think that their p.o.v is the be all and end all, and it's disgusting, and stupid. Sure, traumatise a child...you've proved your point:rolleyes: A persons lifestyle is their choice...and frankly, at this point in our evolution, the majority of the human race has become accustomed to the consumption of flesh...actually to the point that if one were to stop, the majority of the time, they end up having iron defficiencies due to our systems being used to processing things in a different way.
Vegitarianism...being vegan...whatever, let those that choose that lifestyle, choose that lifestyle, and not push it upon others (can you imagine the offence if you tried to make one of these nutcases eat meat?)...it's unfortunate that a lot of times that if people like this think things should be a certain way, they trample the rights and desires of others.
I lean towards predominately vegitarian myself...but I know a thing or two about nutrition, enough to know that my current intake is healthy.
The whole "lets try and stop the meat trade" thing is simply a waste of time. It's NOT going to happen, time would be better spent by these organisations on things that they can, or will change, not wasted on a cause that isnt worthy in the first place. Sure, I sympathise with cows...lamb, chickens, whatever, but not enough to feel guilty about playing an absolutely tiny part in what's become tradition LONG ago in the stages of our evolution...
PETA isn't an entirely "bad" organisation from the things I've heard, but I think they need to perhaps have a few slightly unstable people removed from the top ranks, and start having a bit more a careful look at who they enlist...the setting of certain ground rules of operation wouldn't go astray either.

[Despare]

The only thing I disagree agree with is the part when you say PETA isn't bad. There are a LOT of animal rights organizations that do great work and prevent animals from getting hurt (if you have a strong stomach watch some of those animal cops shows to see how cruel people can be to animals). I think that PETA has lost sight of the animals and now focuses on nothing but furthering their extremist agenda.

[Phalanx]

What I meant was...they have good intentions, but sometimes not very realistic, and those good intentions are often executed in entirely the wrong way...agreed, too much.

[The STE]

PETA also associates with and funds organizations that are federally classified as terrorist organizations

Weell... I am an animal rights activist with Defenders of the Wildlife. For the most part, as I've said before, my main stand is wolves. Fortunately wolves are predators, so I don't have to beat myself up for eating meat.

I agree with you all, an so do most other animal rights activists, PETA is, for a lack of better insults, a bunch of fuckwits. I mean who in the hell goes around getting their jollies showing children pictures of slaughter houses.

[tic]

I am not a member of PETA, but sometimes I do agree to what they do (all though not to the point where I would harm anyone, physically or mentally)

I have a leather jacket and shoes and am not a vegan or veggie. I do think there is a difference between eating, say a cow or a sheep and using the whole animals leftovers afterwards, eg skin, than purely breeding an animal purely for its skin - mink farming.

There was a case in Scotland a while back that showed a dead Golden Eagle, which had been poisoned and trapped in a snare - the excuse was, it was vermin. Hope they chocked on it.

I am also against animal experiments:- Beagles or any other dog for that matter (unless in cartoon) do not smoke, if the same experiments where done on people - opening the skull of a monkey and placing electrodes to see what happens to the brain's nervous system, these people would be arrested and sent to the asylum.

Medicine have gone on to leaps and bounds from the victorian era, where body-snatching and live (no anasthestic) operations where carried out, there is simply no excuse why medicine hasn't kept up with the rest of the worlds technology, why should it when the world leaders can spend billions of pounds/dollars on weapons - war is big business.

As I said, I have never committed an act of terrorism, eco or otherwise and would rather use my voice than a gun to get my point across.

I am also a holder of a "green" donor card, which basically means when I die, if a "mad" doctor wants to build a new Frankenstein-type creature, then if he so wishes he can use my body parts in his quest, rather than re-animating dead frogs or mice.

I despise cruelty to animals. That's just one of those things that really makes my blood boil. That said, PETA and organizations of their ilk are going about their agenda in entirely the wrong way. Fanaticism in general is a huge turn off. Not only that, but I believe that PETA is not entirely the protector of animals that they make themselves out to be.

I would like to see a Vegan prove to me that vegetable matter does not fear death. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. Because THEN where would they be?

I like that link. I've always been a fan of reversing situations - particularly between humans and animals, though between man & woman also works particularly well... right, girls? ;) - and watching the extremes of things they take for granted dawn on people.

There is something odious about the soul who sits with his (or her) fat belly with scant regard for the animals they gobble up, nor the processes through which the meat has reached their hungry, greedy mouths.
