Stupid PETA

[Iceaxe]

PETA is petitioning to call fish "Sea Kittens" with the rationale that no one would want to hurt a sea kitten. But really, that just makes me hungry for "land fish", which is what I'm petitioning to call cats.

I really have nothing against PETA, I just think they're a bunch of pussies. The world needs pussies.

This will simply serve to serve to convince the world that Kittens make good sushimi.

Peta is not about being nice to animals. Its about raising millions fo dollars from morons.

i remember hearing a few years back from somewhere ( sorry, can't remember from what source. but i am being honest !) that donations to "pet" organizations, or animal rights groups, or whatever you wanna call 'em, was more than the donations to all other charitites combined. that is unbelievable. surely it can't be true ? that is staggering,and pathetic. that of all the charitable organizations out there working to make better tomorrows for people, that people choose to give money to animals, valueing that life over a humans. disgusting if true.

side note - no kill shelters are horribly cruel and i honestly think people supporting confining an animal to a small cage w/ a run shared by many others are just plain stupid and are not really concerned w/ the animlas welfare, but there own desire to see the cute lil puppy and kitty live so they can feel good about theirself, no matter the aimal lives out an excruciatingly painful life in a prison. rare exceptions occur like best friends.

Ok now......don't start with us cat people (and there are many on here - male and female). Would you want to see your pup bbq'ed over an open flame? :nono: And no, I'm not a PETA fan, but I'm not a PETA hater either, and I eat meat and *sea kitties* :nod: Don't bring the innocent little kitties into the fray! :haha:

That's a blanket statement. Applies to some no-kill facilities, not all. I volunteered with a no-kill group which had a safehouse network. We all lived with the dogs we sheltered, doing as much rehabilitation as just the day to day care.

Side note: Some of us volunteer/give money to animal welfare because these creatures cannot do for themselves. Humans can.

Side side note: I had ground venison mixed with Hamburger Helper last night. It was so good that it felt wrong.

The whole "people who give money to animal rights/shelter/rescue organizations must hate people and love animals" argument is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. People choose which causes to care about, and if they chose animals over humans, good for them. There are more than enough people who care nothing for animal care organizations, and make all of their donations to various humanitarian causes. I don't begrudge them their causes, what gives you the right to begrudge me mine.

Secondly, you should educate yourself on no-kill shelters before you make blatantly untrue blanket statements about the idea as a whole. You are correct that there are bad shelters, and that even worse, there are animal hoarders who, even if good intentioned don't provide a good life for the animals they claim to care for. But as you mentioned, amazing places like Best Friends do exist, and if that proves anything, it proves that it can and should be done right. Instead of bagging on those organizations that don't do the right thing, how about promoting the creation and growth of organizations that do. You think that without millions in volunteer funding, organizations like BFAS could do what they do?

Lastly, I consider myself fairly well educated on animal rights issues and organizations, and have spent a lot of my own time and money volunteering and donating to some very good ones. That said, IMHO, PETA has done animal rights, vegan/vegetarianism more harm than good. With the money PETA both brings in and spends, they could have created 10x the quality no-kill shelters/farm sanctuarys/animal rehabilitation centers then what exists right now. Instead, their sensationalist attacks on business, people, and ways of life have made them a laughingstock, and brought a lot of unnecessary negative attention on the causes that they support. They spend those same millions of dollars on fairly ineffective advertising campaigns, and in my eyes have been a disappointment to the cause.

as an afterthough - Peta stated that Michael Vick's dogs were all too screwed up to ever be rehabilitated, and that they should be all put down. BFAS as well as BAD RAP, a animal rescue group out of California, and a number of other groups disagreed, and volunteer to take responsibility for attempts at rehabbing the dogs. This SI Article http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/magazine/12/22/vick.dogs provides much more detail, but I'll quote this paragraph that shows what value no-kill shelters can bring to the table -

"In the end, 47 of the 51 Vick dogs were saved. (Two died while in the shelters; one was destroyed because it was too violent; and another was euthanized for medical reasons.) Twenty-two dogs went to Best Friends, where McMillan and his staff chart their emotional state daily; almost all show steady improvement in categories such as calmness, sociability and happiness. McMillan believes 17 of the dogs will eventually be adopted, and applicants are being screened for the first of those. The other 25 have been spread around the country; the biggest group, 10, went to California with BAD RAP. Fourteen of the 25 have been placed in permanent homes, and the rest are in foster care."

Very well said, I've worked right alongside of Peta groups many times, and I agree they do more harm than good due to their abrasive statements and confrontational tactics.

I don't know how many people heard this on various news channels last summer, but I almost thought it humorous.

[i]PETA says it wants world famous Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream to tap nursing moms, rather than cows, for the milk used in its ice cream.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is asking the ice cream maker to begin using breast milk in its products instead of cow's milk, saying it would reduce the suffering of cows and calves and give ice cream lovers a healthier product.

The idea got a cool reception Thursday from Ben & Jerry's officials, the company's customers and even La Leche League International, the world's oldest breast-feeding support organization, which promotes the practice

PETA Superbowl ad gets yanked.....


NBC pulled the plug on a PETA pro-veggie commercial planned for the Super Bowl because it "depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards," according to NBC Universal's advertising standards executive, Victoria Morgan. The ad, which carries the tagline, "Studies Show Vegetarians Have Bet ter Sex," shows lingerie-clad stunners getting "intimate" with vegetables.

And because I'm such a sweetheart..... here is the ad that was pulled. :haha:

Because who can turn into a lard ass overloading on veggies. Makes perfect sense! I was still disappointed they didn't show a cucumber going into the tub.


However, put a chick half nekid on a bearskin or zebra rug beside a fire and killing animals seems like a good idea. That's also a pretty sexy pic of a "leather" couch in the back ground if I'm not mistaken.

PETA dressed as KKK for The Westminster Dog Show

I'm not really sure that the Westminster Dog Show technically counts as a sport, but you know what, in the middle of February it does.

As some of you may know, PETA has always had a bit of a problem with the Westminster Dog Show because, uh, I'm not really sure why, in all honesty. Last year their cause was that kennels sometimes kill dogs, while this year, in typical understated brilliance, PETA had two of its supporters dressed up as Ku Klux Klan members outside Madison Square Garden yesterday. Because that will definitely win people over to your cause.

So why's PETA doing this? Neo-Nazi dogs, of course.

Their goal, according to a post on the PETA website, was to draw a parallel between the KKK and the American Kennel Club. "Obviously it's an uncomfortable comparison," PETA spokesman Michael McGraw told the Associated Press.

But the AKC is trying to create a "master race" when it comes to pure-bred dogs, he added. "It's a very apt comparison."

The group passed out brochures implying the Klan and AKC have the goal of "pure bloodlines" in common.
Well, there's a few key differences. Like I don't remember the AKC burning crosses on the front lawns of houses that have non pure-bred dogs - or mudering people - but yeah, other than that, they're completely identical.

Naturally, the AKC is firing back to protect its image.

"I can't speak for everyone, but the vast majority of the people exhibiting and handling and showing at Westminster are more interested in the health of dogs than anything else," Westminster spokesman David Frei told the AP.

You know what, I think I'll side with Westminster on this one. Meanwhile, maybe PETA should send their KKK-dressed supporters to Harlem to protest dog fighting. I see no way that could end badly.

Oh my dear god.
Having no showtime Id heard a bit about the show but never seen it, I shall be going to get any of it available on DVD, and stealing the rest from online to watch all that i missed if the rest of it is half as good as that clip.
I nearly peed myself laughing, and Im sober!

[Jaxx]

At first I was baffled that they didn't get the crap beaten out of them. Then I realized that the black people were probably ready to and when they realized they were from peta they realized what was going on and it was not morally ok to beat up a mentally disabled person.
