You stole that from me! I used that one some PETAphile 2 years ago. He was giving me crap at the counter of wegmans(local food store) for buying hamburger, saying it was wrong, saying he was from PETA. So i go "oh yeah? im from PETA too. Peaople for the Eating of Tasty Animals."RaiQuee said:Oy vey. And all these people are strict vegans? I doubt it. All of them even vegetarians, I highly doubt it! PETA stands for something else ya know, People eating tasty animals.

You know, there is a b-i-g difference in believing in the humane treatment of animals and being a rabid animal rights activist. I wonder if PETA would expect us to simply turn all our cats, dogs, birds, horses, and cows loose to fend for themselves? Can you imagine a world full of ferrel animals breeding and multiplying, spreading disease, injuring people and each other, destroying property, and ultimately wreaking havoc on the environment?

That is exactly what they want! For some reason they think that this would work!!!
You would not be able to drive in the streets because animals would be everywhere! Haveing them as Pets is safer for them and us. Yes We have taken up most of the animals natural habitat, But it makes no sense to just let them free and expect everything to go smoothly. They are against hunting so We would not be aloud to control the population that way. They would be killing more animals and saving none!

Good posts guys! I just found this thread and had a very entertaining time reading it. :main_yes: I'd just like to add my 2 cents and state that I also do not agree with PETA or its policies at all.
If you simplify it down to brass tacks, PETA's biggest basic platform is that animals should never be "exploited" by humans, which covers any killing of animals whatsoever, any habitat encroachment, and owning any pets. The problem with this is that you are basically going to have to eliminate the entire human population to make this a reality. By PETA's definition, any time that humans build houses or live anywhere, they are destroying potential habitat for animals by occupying a space that an animal might otherwise. So humans shouldn't exist because animals might be able to live where they live.
However, animals kill each other every day, all the time, and they encroach on other animal's habitats regularly, sometimes with deadly results. Even herbivores will kill bugs that are chewing on them, and may destroy smaller animal's homes. Animals do not follow PETA's doctrine. PETA claims that that is OK because animals were "meant" to be that way. This brings up a very interesting point - what were humans "meant" to be like? PETA seems to think that humans were "meant" to be vegetarians and never kill anything or cause harm to anything. This would make us very unique and strange creatures that would really never be able to exist. It seems to me that PETA at its heart just really doesn't like people. Which is hypocritical because as far as I know, every member of PETA is a human! However, I bet that they live in houses...
Why is it wrong for humans to exist? That's a question I would like to ask some of these really crazy PETA activists. They have a double standard for animals and humans, and their base philosophy raises some very frightening possibilities.
I have to go to class, but I may come back and post more later.

New Law Scares The Animal Rights Fringe
Yesterday the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA). This new law will make things tougher on animal rights activists who use threats and violence to intimidate medical researchers, farmers, ranchers, and other Americans who decline to embrace the philosophy of "total animal liberation."
A long list of animal rights groups opposed the bill, including the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), Farm Sanctuary, and some bona fide convicted terrorists. Most of the opposition centered on the widely reported claim that the AETA would somehow criminalize peaceful protest. It won't. The bill -- click here and see page 7 -- specifically (and appropriately) puts freedom of speech out of reach:
"Nothing in this section shall be construed ... to prohibit any expressive conduct (including peaceful picketing or other peaceful demonstration) protected from legal prohibition by the First Amendment to the Constitution."
PCRM's opposition is particularly odd. Why would a self-proclaimed "physicians group" be opposed to an anti-terrorism law that only threatens serious lawbreakers? Why would PCRM host a meeting to organize animal-rights opposition to the AETA? Could it be the group's well-documented ties with the militant animal-rights fringe? PCRM president Neal Barnard, for instance, has co-signed at least one letter with animal-rights militant Kevin Kjonaas, whose federal terrorism prison sentence begins this week.
When Animal Liberation Front spokesman Jerry Vlasak famously commented that medical researchers who use animals should be targeted for "political assassination," he was listed on the conference program as a PCRM representative.
And John Pippin, PCRM's current Senior Medical Adviser, staked out a not-too-doctorly position on the AETA when the Senate passed it in late September. Upset over what he called HSUS president Wayne Pacelle's "lukewarm" opposition to the law, Pippin complained:
"This is the organization [HSUS] that publicly congratulated the FBI for hunting down the animal rights "criminals" who liberate animals and carry out other related activities. Without the sometimes illegal actions of true activists, the animal rights movement has no meaningful chance for success ... Thank goodness for those willing to take some risks to save the animals."
As the radical animal rights movement expands "acceptable" protest to include arson, death threats, harassment, sabotage -- and perhaps even assasinations -- the AETA is a necessary tool for federal law enforcement.

Marine World in Vallejo, Ca did the same thing
It was on the radio and in the newspaper. I didn't beleive it until I seen it. For the month of October they had fright night with rides and the haunted houses. Well at the big haunted house two guys dressed up came out with a tray of very large cock roaches and moved their way threw the line. If you ate a cock roach you got to move to the front of the line and go right in. You would have been amazed how many people ate them. The line wasn't very long it only took us about 30 minutes to get in. I will say it made it very entertaining. They did have to sign a disclaimer. ( Marine World in owned by Six Flags however at the beginning of next year a new park is buying them)

I hunt, therefore PETA is my enemy. Theres no using sense of reason and common sense with these people. No matter what, killing any animal is bad. They seem to think if we dont hunt and kill deer everything will be just hunky dory. Tell that to thousands of americans who hit the white tailed menaces every year.

I have not kept up with this thread as I'm not a big fan of PETA nor is anyone I know. After reading the "Mommy Kills" piece, I'm down right pissed!!! I have only owned one piece of fur in my life and it was when I was a little girl, it was a white bunny fur hat. I loved that hat, made me think of my bunny that had died. I don't buy fur and I don't wear fur, now that has nothing to do with animal rights, it's just too flashy for my taste. But for PETA to give those to kids is down right mean, and I'm not talking about bashing Mommy for wearing fur, I mean the devastation that those images and words would have on a child. WTF are those people thinking?
LMAO
