I don't need to know anything about PETA to hate them. Why you ask? Well it all starts with a friend of mine who had gone hunting one weekend. Now he didn't bag anything so he was a little disappointed but then he saw something that raised his spirits, a deer. He was all ready to shoot that deer, safety off, scope was lined up and the deer was in a clearing. But then it hit him; a deer was in a wide open clearing not far from his house with very little cover. He felt this was odd so he began to slowly crawl closer and closer to the deer until he was abnormally close to it. He had broken a few twigs during his crawl and the deer had just stood there unmoving. Now incredibly suspicious he yelled at the deer to see if he could scare it but guess what happened, it stood up on two legs and ran away.

tl;dr PETA wanted to sue a hunter.

thank god your friend had good instincts.

Yah, I'm paranoid now whenever I see a deer standing still.

I am against people who dictate how I must live. I am against people who threaten the lives of innocents. I am against hypocritical wackos.

So I guess that pits me against PETA.

Alone Disciple:

Again, while there indeed may be some 'fringe' radicals within Peta that may indeed take your quoted stance above, that does not mean ALL their members believe that.

actually the "total animal freedom", that includes no pet owners, is something preached by the founder and president of peta, watch the peta episode of bullshit, they have her on video saying it

From wiki: PETA's slogan is "animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment."[2] The organisation focuses on four core issues: factory farming,[8] fur farming, animal testing, and animals in entertainment. It also campaigns against fishing, the killing of animals regarded as pests, abuse of chained, backyard dogs, cock fighting, bullfighting and the consumption of meat. It aims to inform the public of its position through advertisements, undercover investigations, animal rescue, and lobbying.

actually wikipedia regularly edits stuff about peta and locks it up for edits, look at the discussion section of their article and all the stuff they are holding off on

While some within their group may liberally interpret 'abuse of chained, backyard dogs' as to meaning 'all dogs and all owners', that again is just a few whack-jobs within. This does not equate to me owning a pet who I treat better than most people as an enemy of theirs.

actually their president and founder believes that having a dog chained up in your backyard or even as a pet is slavery and bad, so it's not some radical fringe member it's the person who started the organization

PETA has some good aims, but they just go so ridiculously over-the-top most of the time that no one actually listens to them, and this leads people to ignore more reasonable animal activism groups. In other words, they give animal rights, supposedly the thing they fight for, a bad name.

There's really nothing to like about PETA at all, regardless of how you think we should treat animals.

My dad is a fish neuro-scientist and well, Peta hates him, so I just feel I should spread the love.

perfect i could have put it better myself. i love animals but becoming a wackjob nut just takes the focus off your cause and puts it on you. when i see a new article about PETA (if i even read it) im not intersted in what they are protesting im just interested in what kind of a train wreck action they took this time. and wahts even worse about them is that its become a kind of a knee-jerk reaction for people to treat them as loonies and even when they have good points and a valid agenda because they have done some truly stupid things in the past people tend to ignore them or even worse go out of their way to do things just to piss them off they wouldnt normaly do.

the general attitude becomes then "hey this will piss PETA off, i must be doing something right". over all im kinda glad that there is an orginazation out there that can bring the topic of animal treatment up and get it noticed by alot of people but i think for them to ever be taken seriously they need to curb the nuts and focus on real change, changing peoples minds for the better not just pissing everyone off. as it stands now PETA is a circus full of side show freaks and thats just too bad because (some of) their causes could use some real support.

I'm a sociopath so I can't care for either PeTA or animals.

I love PETA! I also support Al Qaeda. Wish I wasn't a stinking Jew so I can join the KKK. Ah well.

PETA needs some seriusl PR, when 69% of forum goers don't like them.

They just need to go away.

Most areas have humane societies for animals, such as the SPCA.. Let them do their jobs, and keep your fucking crazy neo-fascist political bullshit terrorism out of it.

If everything in that Penn and Teller's Bullshit show was factually accurate, I'd rather they just go collapse under their own hypocritical values.

As old as these threads are getting, I've enjoyed everyone of them. PeTA in my opinion needs to stop for a second and take a good long look at what they've done and what they plan to do. They are a good thing gone awry, they could be out there doing some serious good for animals and the community, but instead they choose to throw away their time and money with their crackpot schemes and terrorism.

Also do they have any idea what the concequences of releasing all of a nation's captive animals would have on the environment? It would be chaos stemming from an overabundance of invasive species, the only solution to which is elimination, but look! They don't want us to do that either!

In short: PeTA needs to reform into a beneficent organization (like that will happen) or disband.

Why, yes, I do like the organization of "People Eat Tasty Animals". Thank you for asking my opinion.

I will eat three cows for every one cow they avoid eating.

Muir:

And what will that prove? That you're as vindictive and violent as they say you are?

What's wrong with 'people for the eating of tasty animals'? ... wait your talking about thous hippies who throw red paint on people who wear fur coats. I hate peta namely because they complain about people eating meat like it never happens in nature

A message to PeTA:
Animals have been used for food since the dawn of civilization. Get over it.

EDIT:
Though I am against abuse of animals, I won't go as far as to (attempting)closing down slaughterhouses to prove my point. It's kind of like environmentalists trying to close down a paper factory for cutting trees when in reality, those factories have their own tree farm. Trees whose sole purpose is to be cut down to make papaer.

I really hated them the first time I heard about them, which was suprisingly only very recently because I remember reading somewhere that they wanted Cow's Milk replaced with Human Breast Milk.
Crazy Goddamn Nutters.

I detest Peta. It's all fair and good if you want to not eat meat, and not wear fur, but when you start imposing your views on others, and scare others into following, that's called fascism, and that is not something I can support in any means. So you go do what you want, I'm going to take care of my 2 dogs, eat my sirloin steak, and support research on rats so we might be able to cure cancer one day, and if anybody decides to firebomb my house because of that, I am going to come after them, and I'm going to ram a deer antler into a random orifice.

I like what PETA stands for, animal protection etc. but I disagree with the way they go about it. Most of them are idiots who do stupid and dangerous things which only sometimes help animals, also they then act that anyone who doesn't follow their mindset is inferior. There's bettter animal rights movements, though as usual the idiots are the loudest.

I'm glad they exist. I don't totally agree point a lot of their points are valid.

PETA don't like animals; in fact they kill the majority of animals they take even though the majorit of them could be re-homed easily.

They also have links with terrorist organisations such as ALF (Animal Liberation Front) and they also impose there views on others via terrorism.

P.S remember there seal massacre where the point was to get Canadian hunters to not massacre seals each year? Nobody can possibly take PETA seriously.

Anyone that tries to take steak off my table needs to be made into a steak.

Animals that have been born in captivity can't survive on there own because there parents never taught them how to fend for themselves.

i love animals, and unless i am sick i am a slave/chair to this furry betailed creature with whom i share a house. but peta makes me WANT to believe in hell, that theres someplace they will go when they die thats unspeakably terrible and reserved exclusively for PETA members, and that god hates them too... i think i see the appeal in religion now. well i sadly do not believe there is, but if i ever see "PETA" anywhere on a headstone ill be sure to spit on it.

Graustein:
I love PETA! I also support Al Qaeda. Wish I wasn't a stinking Jew so I can join the KKK. Ah well.

Exactly how I feel but with 10x the sarcasm.
On a side note: I thought the KKK were against blacks and blacks only.

Spit on it, graffiti it, relieve yourself on it for all I care.

They seem to have this weird liberation fascination, where people, lions, elephants, bunnies and platypusses all live together in lovely fluffy harmony. All amongst the pink candyfloss clouds, gumdrop forests and chocolate rivers. And the flowing blood of a chaotic, superspeed natural selection.

Dress like that during hunting season in a hunting area you deserve to be shot.

The KKK is against anyone that isn't white as snow and straight as an arrow. They also hate Catholics and Mormons.

No. What they need is to die. Quickly. And leave us in piece. We all agree with their ideal: Respect for animal rights.

BUT, and there's no nice way to put it so I'll be blunt: THEY'RE FUCKING RETARDED. I swear they think with their asshole instead of their head cause all of their ideas are pure shit. They're like that retarded cousin that "just wants to help" but instead just breaks everything you have and you wish he'd just piss off.

They aren't even tree-huggers. They pretend to be in order to get money out of gullible environmentalist nuts. They aren't insane radical hippies, they are CON MEN.
