7 Things you quite possibly didn't know about PETA

[ToKillAnATTICUS]

1) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group's overall goal as "total animal liberation." This means no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no wool, no leather, no hunting, no fishing, and no pets (not even seeing-eye dogs). PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals.

2) Despite its constant moralizing about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, PETA has killed over 10,000 dogs and cats at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2003, PETA put to death over 85 percent of the animals it collected from members of the public.

3) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified "domestic terrorist" group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) activist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing recommendation, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. And PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich told an animal rights convention in 2001 that "blowing stuff up and smashing windows" is "a great way to bring about animal liberation."

4) PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, often waiting outside their schools to intercept them as they walk to and from class-without notifying parents. One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells small children: "Your Mommy Kills Animals!" PETA brags that its messages reach over 2 million children every year, including thousands reached by e-mail without the permission of their parents. One PETA vice president told the Fox News Channel's audience: "Our campaigns are always geared towards children, and they always will be."

5) PETA has used a related organization, the PETA Foundation, to fund the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a deceptive animal rights group that promotes itself as an unbiased source of medical and nutritional information. PCRM's president also serves as president of the PETA Foundation.

6) PETA runs campaigns seemingly calculated to offend religious believers. One entire PETA website is devoted to the claim-despite ample evidence to the contrary-that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. PETA holds protests at houses of worship, even suing one church that tried to protect its members from Sunday-morning harassment. Its billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs "died for their sins." PETA insists, contrary to centuries of rabbinical teaching, that the Jewish ritual of kosher slaughter shouldn't be allowed. And its infamous "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign crassly compares the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide with farm animals.

7) PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, because they support animal-based research that might uncover cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has said that "even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it."

So this I ask you. How much do you love animals?

[Vince]

Wow, I got a comment everyone of them.

1) How the hell is having a pet you love and care for such a bad ####ing thing? Kind of retarded if you ask me.

2) One word, IRONY!!!

3) Shows how stupid PETA is, they care more about animals then actual people.

4) That reminds me of that "Daddy gutting the fish comic," stupid then, stupid now.

5) Really don't have anything to say here, yeah wow.

6) Jesus, a vegitarian? Didn't the bible include sacrificing of animals?! xD So farfetched that I don't even know where they find the balls to come up with that one.

7) Yeah ####tard, don't come up with a cure of AID's because a couple of your precious rats will be killed, go #### yourself.

Meh, that's all I really got to say.

Good thread TKAA :)

[The Brown Cow]

Yeah, PETA is insane. Tell me something I don't know.

I have three testicles >_>

[Tanktunker]

In relation to numbers 1-7; They should be added to that superdickery website.
Because they're dicks.

[Hex]

I have three testicles >_>

I have three anuses.

[Mod#4]

If PETA had nuts, I would kick them.

[Vagrant]

I think the general public (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/The_General_Public) would agree that PETA is overzealous and extremist.

[Tanktunker]

The general public agrees.
I mean, the general public would probably agree, yes.

I ought to eat a big juicy steak in front of them, wash it down with a glass of milk, while at the zoo.

before the test though, you smoke the ribs.
aint nothing like smoked ribs to satisfy one's stomach (and annoy PETA).

[Shadow Crest]

Have any of you read Ingrid Newkirk's will?
If not, check here. (http://www.peta.org/feat/newkirk/will.html)

PETA... if I wanted to, I could go on a 50,000 character rant about what I hated about them, but I don't feel like it right now. But put simply:
PETA should #### off and die.

[Woolfenstien]

So this I ask you. How do you love animals?On a plate. Cooked.

[Vince]

Always reminds me of that Tool song, disgustipated. ^.^

Life feeds on life, feeds on life, feeds on life.

[Screech]

PETA can be extreamist and do horriable things. But we SHOULD care about how animals are treated; Peta manages not only to not effect anyone, but to promote the oposite because of people reacting to the extreamism. The following is things I think people should do to care for animals, (And things I all do) in order to care for the wellbeing of animals rather than going overboard and offending anyone:

1-Support organic farms rather than industrial ones. The animals get treated far better. It is unrealistic to expect farms to go away, so support the ancient methods that don't hurt anything.
2-Cut down on meat intake; keeping it down to two or three servings a week. Even one serving a day is a large change for some people.
3-Donate time to your local SPCA, walking the dogs. It makes them so happy :)
4-When adopting pets, get pets from the SPCA rather than an expensive breeder unless there is a specific reason not to.
5-Take care of your pets, and keep an eye out for abused pets.
6-When it comes to fur and leather, buy used. There are also orginizations that collect fur from roadkill (Deer, and the like.) to make coats. This ensure more use from an animal, rather than waste. These orginizations are worth supporting, not boycotting.

If this was PETA's plan that they promoted, I would guarentee that they would be far more accepted and successful :)

[WaterZoma]

If I saw PETA members or the leaders of them I would walk up to them with a hotdog and a whopper and eat right in front of them and talk about their cause.

[Screech]

If I saw PETA members or the leaders of them I would walk up to them with a hotdog and a whopper and eat right in front of them and talk about their cause.

See? PETAs extreamism promotes people to act like idiots like this.

[JoeyG]

PETA would shoot that kid in the mouth. ####ing terrorists.

[Woolfenstien]

And then they'd bury him in a shallow grave under rabbit bones and chicken feathers.

I've never really had time for animals, unless it's for eating.

[h00pla]

b. That my skin, or a portion thereof, be removed and made into leather products, such as purses, to remind the world that human skin and the skin of other animals is the same and that neither is “fabric” nor needed, and that some skin be tacked up outside the Indian Leather Fair each year to serve as a reminder of the government’s need to abate the suffering of Indian bullocks who, after a life of extreme and involuntary servitude, as I have seen firsthand, are exported all over the world in this form;

I would so buy that purse or whatever they made out of it, just to put it to good use and ask if they can make another should that one break

[Vagrant]

See? PETAs extreamism promotes people to act like idiots like this.

(It's spelled "extremism" screech. >_>)

But otherwise, I would agree with you. There is an issue at hand with our treatment of animals, but PETA is so overzealous about the issue, it turns people off to a real problem.

[The Brown Cow]

If I saw PETA members or the leaders of them I would walk up to them with a hotdog and a whopper and eat right in front of them and talk about their cause.
They would probably mob you and beat the crap out of you. At the very least, they would forcibly extract your food products. And then yell a bunch.

But I'm with Screech on this one. Animals should be treated well, but it's unreasonable to treat them like humans. Humans, like many other animals, do eat meat, and I see nothing wrong with a well-treated pet. PETA seems to seek a return to a time before humans existed and started meddling with animals.

[The Brown Cow]

'Cause they travel in packs.

[Tanktunker]

And they have paint for throwing.
LEAD paint.

[denacioust]

Their leader is an absolute nut-job...that will is seriously scary...she wont get anyone supporting her cause with crazy stunts like that its just gonna add fuel to the claims that PETA are a bunch of nutjobs...

Two or three servings?! PER WEEK?! NEVER!!!

You know, if it were up to PETA, we'd probably all be munching on grass with the majority of protein coming from cannibalistic sources.

Sometimes when you here stuff as dumb as PETA's beliefs, you just gotta laugh. The irony of all this is I believe all vegatables are evil, except for french fries.

[Posh Jibbons]

When I grow up, I want to be an Arson for ALF.

[Durand_Bluebeard]

if i could grant wishes, i'd create a parralel universe in which she suceeds in her goal absolutely and completely.

then dump her in the jungle that the earth will become, and wait for her to , inevitably, kill an animal to sustain. smile at her, tell her *told ya*

then bring everything back to normal.. WITH the memory.

[WaterZoma]

I would throw her in a pit with meat eating animals and see how long she survives.

[Tanktunker]

DarkZoma, you're an idiot, she's not some sort of twisted beast, she's a human being, albeit one with radical opinions but that doesn't mean she's some sort of abomination.

[WaterZoma]

Would you say the same for Adolf Hitler, Micheal Jackson, or Osama Bin Laden?

[denacioust]

I cant believe your comparing her to Hitler or even that your comparing Hitler to Michael Jackson. Shes someone with rather radical views yes, but she has done very little wrong...

I wonder how shed fell about this picture:

http://www.cronander.net/images/Saskatoon.jpg

[Tanktunker]

Would you say the same for Adolf Hitler, Micheal Jackson, or Osama Bin Laden?
Yes, yes and yes.
Although I'm offended that you compare Adolf Hitler to a guy who was charged with pedophilia.
And if he is a pedophile, then it's not like he's the only one.

And I couldn't care less about Osama, he's not the only terrorist around.

[Jshall]

PETA has supported crab people since 1963....

So this I ask you. How much do you love animals?

Where did you get this info?

[denacioust]

Its fairly common knowledge most of that for anyone who is willing to accept that PETAs good intentions have gone wrong...

[Chum]

HEY! I am part of PETA, that isnt insane! It makes perfect sense! I would rather have a dog die of starvation on the streets than have it loved, fed, and taken care of by a family!

[WaterZoma]

The first amendment protects people to give out speeches and a lot of other crap. That doesn't mean they are protected if they are talking about violence. Anyway why can't the government just shut down their site?

[Tanktunker]

Not all speech is protected.

[Teh~GD]

When what you say interferes with someone else's rights, you no longer have free speech.

I heard one of the PETA idiots on talk radio. They now are trying to outlaw the cooking of lobsters. The guy said that they feel too much pain when they are cooked, so he says they need to do some freeze crap that would kill them in three seconds, and have them frozen and sent to resturants.

Have you ever seen some of the uber-vegetarians? They are very pale, and don't look healthy to me. Humans are omnivores, they can eat meat. Life is suffering, so who cares if they have "inhuman" conditions? Guess what? THEY AREN"T HUMAN. They also say that "they never got a chance to live free!" I guess these bunny huggers don't realize that all animals ever do is eat, take a dump, and ####.

Ok, so PETA kills the animals that it "saves"?

So they're an animal recycling corporation, right?

[mattz1010]

PETA ARE TERRORISTS

The U.S.A has been infiltrated AGAIN.

How many more times must our defences be broken?

How many more times must we be led to lies?

What do I say?

Stand up and fight!

Kill those mother####ers.

I completely disagree with your second point. Although people are free to eat whatever they please, I sure as hell wouldn't comply with that.

PETA has gone too far to make any progress. Many people hate them with a passion, and the current stereotype of PETA will always be there. It'll take a completely new organization to promote this agenda effectively.
