...the group spends huge sums on programs equating people who eat chicken with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting children into the radical animal-rights lifestyle, and intimidating businessmen and their families in their own neighborhoods. PETA has also spent tens of thousands of dollars defending arsonists and other violent extremists. Are they wacked? It seems like they need to straighten their priorities. Thanks for sharing this, now I know why PETA is such a taboo subject.

Well, I didn't need to see the puppy pic but I'm glad to have read the article. It's pretty well-known that the ones who protest the loudest have something to hide.Thank you Flower for sharing this link. I am starting an email so that others can read it.

S'funny...PETA will throw red paint on fur-wearing supermodels and movie stars, but here I sit in the state that currently has more leather-clad bikers than almost anywhere else on Earth. No PETA. No paint being thrown. *shrugs*

Just goes to show, Grey, that the sort of people who join PETA don't like to mess with folks that can and will return the "gestures" with interest. Seems to me it takes a special kind of hypocrisy to belong to an organization like that. Kind of off in left field, I've got a special peeve against pretty much all groups say that killing animals for food and clothing is wrong. I mean, really, has NO ONE ever considered the fact that plants are living things, too??? If it's wrong to kill animals for food, clothing, and the like, then it's equally wrong to kill plants for the same purposes. And don't tell me that plants can't think or feel, cause you can't prove it. Ok, sorry, /rant off. Long night at work and I'm feeling just a wee bit groggy.

No offence to vegans, but aren't we equipped with incisors for a reason? Our bodies are designed to consume meats and veggies, and we have been provided with an abundance of both.

And don't tell me that plants can't think or feel, cause you can't prove it. There's a book, The Secret Life of Plants that does demonstrate that plants have some sort of awareness and sentience.Life feeds on life. If you don't like meat, fine, don't eat it. But not eating meat because the animal felt something...the plants do too. They "faint" when they're being pulled apart. Eggs "faint" when they're about to be cracked. It's the spirit in which you kill & eat that is important, not what you kill & eat.For a copy of the book:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... 0?v=glance

this is why i dislike PETA and other groups like them. they just cant see the forrest because its full of trees. yet they sit there with the benifits and lessons the creatures have taught us. *shakes head* and they dont understand that research critters are kept as comfortable as possible and the people who care for them really DO care for them. I lost a friend that was caring for researh animals because she CARED. these peeps just need to wake up i think...

Well, we've had discussions about animal rights and whatnot on here before. I think many agree that there's a difference between animal rights and animal welfare. What the PETA acronym stands for sound lovely "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals." Sounds great-until you find out who and what the upper people support. I think both my mom and I have come to the conclusion that if we had to kill the animals ourselves in order to eat it, we'd be vegetarians. Maybe hypocritical, but that's just how it is. As for clothing, I prefer that my clothes not be made from animal. It's not completely unreasonable, because where I live, I can get plenty of clothes made out of synthetic materials that may be even warmer or stand up to conditions better than clothes made from animal derived materials. If I lived in third or fourth world country, than I think it's a different story. I'm all for treating animals with respect, and I do suspect that animals have way more in the way of intellegence than most people give them credit for. When they cite the "stupidity" of domesticated farm animals, those animals have had any wit or instinct bred right out of them. On the other hand, it's been pretty well proven that goldfish do have more than a 3 second memory. It may not be a huge memory, but I suspected as much since my goldfish seem to realize that I mean food. (Hehe, the Myth Buster guys set up a maze for some goldfish they got and ran the fish through it a few days. It wasn't a long term test, but the fish remembered for over 24 hours, which is way more than 3 seconds, so they busted the myth) Well, I've gone way off on a tangent. Anyways, I never quite got PETA, and then I saw the Penn and Teller show on Showtime about them. I don't believe everything on the show, but I figured a lot on that episode was probably pretty accurate, since too much of it made sense.

PETA is a terrible "organization". They resemble domestic terrorists with their tactics and support other animal rights groups that use violence to "protect" the animals. They use horrifying videos to recruit children into their program and encourage them to disobey their parents and to protest and vandalize establishments that sell fur, meat, or animals. They even mail the kids stickers to vandalize with and they reward them for their activism by giving away T-shirts and other PETA gear for every act of protest the kids do.PETA doesn't want anyone to own pets. They consider it cruel, yet one of the founders of PETA thinks it's perfectly OK to have a "romantic" relationship with animals as long as they aren't hurt in the process. Very bad group of people. Their tax-exempt status should be revoked.
