PETA still at it: Exhibit comparing Holocaust & animals decried

In Florida a few years ago, there was a homeless guy who killed a duck so that he would have something to eat. He was arrested for cruelty to animals, or something. Tell me, does that seem morally right?
 
Well, what shall I say. It's unbelievable.

Billiefan2000 does hold at least one good opinion. PETA and suchlike really are a bit idiotic.

Billie - I actually agree w/ you regarding PETA - but that was just tooooo obvious.

:D

If we weren't meant to eat animals, then why are they made of meat?

I think we're pretty much all in agreement that these PETA people are out of their minds. It's not so much their beliefs, but the way they go about ramming it down our throats. Personally, I don't hunt, or fish, or swerve to run over squirrels when they jump out in front of my car, but I certainly enjoy a good burger now and then. If you don't want to eat meat, fine, don't eat it. More meat for me. If you don't want to wear fur or drink milk, then don't. I could care less, but stop trying to force your skewed opinions on every person you meet. It's that type of fanatical lunacy that pisses me off, and it's not just the wackos at PETA. I share the same resentment toward any fanatical group, mostly religion, but even if I agree with the basic underlying theme, sometimes it can still cross over into the absurd. For example, I'm an atheist, but I'm sure as hell not going to get all worked up and develop an ulcer if some school wants to put up a sign that says "God Bless America." I find that asinine. Yeah, I don't want prayer in school, but I'm not pushing for them to change the words to The Pledge of Allegiance because the word "God" is in it. Why do people feel the need to bitch and moan about such trivial nonsense? It's possible to be a fanatical skeptic. I know one. And it's the same type of radical mindset that makes me detest organizations like PETA, but anyway I'm getting off topic somewhat. Sorry, you'll have to forgive me. It's my first post. Anyway, billiefan said the media is not covering this, and I think that's just great. These clowns don't deserve any coverage. It would only fuel their demented egos as they would feel like they were actually reaching people. They should be ignored. We shouldn't even waste our time humoring them. They are essentially meaningless in my simple life. Why should I take time out of my busy workday to bitch about the morons at PETA? That, in a way, would make me just as fanatical as...Oh wait...

◊◊◊◊.

Okay, bye.
 
Now don't get me wrong here, I think the PETA people are a bunch of attention whores, but think about this:
If they are serious about wanting an animal's right to life to be just as respected as a human's, wouldn't their philosophy DEMAND that they take action, despite it not being a popular view? If people were slaughtering (to pull a random ethnicity out of thin air) Scottish people and eating them, wouldn't you actually DO something about it, rather than just protest?

I think about that also with anti-abortionists. I personally feel that abortion is a woman's right to choose. But if anti-abortionists are sincere, then, in their view, people are murdering babies. If society at large were murdering babies, you can bet I'd be out there doing something about it! Not just handing out phamplets on a streetcorner.

While I do not agree with or condone either groups, I can at least understand the motivations behind their actions.
 
Many years ago, it would have been unthinkable to imagine America without an ashtray on every office desk, in every restaurant, and in every bar.

I wonder in 20 years whether our children will be eating dinner at Kentucky Fried Tofu.
 
Ratman_tf, you're right on the money, and that's exactly my point as well. It's not what they believe in that drives me crazy, although I don't agree with about 95% of what they spew out at us, but rather how firmly they believe it. It is that cult-like, brainwashed, tunnel vision approach to the matter that is not only counterproductive, but dangerous. I don't think there's a single person on this board that whole heartedly supports meaningless cruelty to animals. I doubt anyone here enjoys torturing small furry creatures. In fact, I will go so far as to say that if I did see an example of domestic useless animal abuse, I would certainly try to stop it. But these PETA people don't stop there. It's not just animal cruelty. They twist and turn everything that even remotely relates to animals as being mistreatment. Then they drum up some idiotic marketing campaign like Happy Meals with severed plastic cow heads in them, or "got beer" t-shirts. They will complain about team mascots, or try to change the name of a town because "Fishkill" is derogatory to freakin fish. This constant harping on such miniscule events makes them seem like a joke, which eventually leads to people not paying any attention to what they're trying to say. Even if they were right for once, nobody would believe them, since they have discredited themselves many times before. So what then? Do they blow up a lab for publicity? Shoot a scientist to be heard? Where does it end? So I agree with you ratman_tf, their sick, twisted minds do demand that they take action, and that is precisely why I can't stand them. I can fully understand why a group of terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center, but that doesn't make it right. And yes, I'm comparing PETA to terrorists, because it is the same mindset, the same unrelenting drive that compels them to act. Do you see how strongly I feel about these PETA people? And you know what I'm gonna do about it?

Nothing.
 
I can put up with fanatics, as long as they are consistent. How do you justify, as has happened in the past, putting out poisoned meat, or meat with ground glass in it, for hunting dogs to find just to save a few quail/pheasants/ducks?
Sorry-I thought the dog was one of those critters they wanted to save?
Or is it that they are so full of self hate that anything associated with man is evil?

On second thought, PETA has admitted that their goal is to shock people. Wouldn't a better tactic be for the sane people to laugh and be condescending to the poor silly PETA members?

I think this is the tasty animals guys site. (I think he registerd peta.org as a domain name but PETA sued him). Don't know if he sells t-shirts but his hate mail section is a hoot.
 
No, PETA doesn't want to SAVE any animals. PETA is not about "Animal Welfare," it's about "Animal Rights." Remember "A rat is a dog is a pig is a boy"?

They don't want animals of ANY kind even kept as pets. Their attitude would be that I should turn loose to run free my pampered, groomed, petted and loved horse (who, at 17, probably wouldn't last long in the wild, though he is quite healthy nd youthful as pet/show horse), rather than enslave him by riding him.... and if he DIES because he is not a native feral horse. used to foraging for himself, well, tough, his species was not then meant to survive.

They don't care about individual animals or individual species, but their right to survive or not survive without human interference. Seems an odd agenda to me, but believe me, the true well being of any animal, whether as a potential meal or as a pet, is irrelevant to PETA. To gain the support and funds of others, though, they will frame their crusades as though they are concerned about the treatment and care of the animals in question.

Interestingly, there was an article a year or two ago in the weekly equestrian magazine, The Chronicle of the Horse, which noted that several of the PETA officers/board members were living quite "high on the hog" in expensive homes, etc. on PETA monies. Never heard the outcome of any investigation of THAT issue.
