What do you think of PETA and the like?

[Swedishguy]

How about babies?

Babies? You mean those young human that will become sentient as the grow older? What about them?

 

[Narz]

"they can't protect themselves" therefore according to sweedishguy logic they deserve death.

 

[bhsup]

You picked poorly for the thread when you picked PETA by name to represent animal and/or environmental groups. PETA are known supporters of terrorist organizations and people.

 

[Narz]

PETA are known supporters of terrorist organizations and people.

So's the USA.

 

[amadeus]

So's the USA.

I liked it better when you were a laid-back hippie type, not as part of the "death to America" chanting crowd.

 

[Swedishguy]

How about ALF (Animal Liberation Front)? I hear they're worse than PETA.

 

[Communisto]

They're like the military arm of PETA. The two are basically one and the same.

PETA is garbage. The scariest thing about them is that they have a propaganda machine that would put Riefenstahl to shame.

As long as animals aren't being unnecessarily tortured, humans are free to do with the animals as they please. Obviously, regulatory committees should be established to ensure that we do not directly cause the extinction of a species (for the greater good), as well as other authorities to prevent unnecessary animal cruelty.

If an animal is crucial to the ecosystem, it should be protected, otherwise not. I would have no qualms about killing all Giant Pandas in the world and make panda burgers of them.

 

[Leonel]

They have good intentions. But their little ideology has warped and violated their senses so now they force their ideology down peoples throats.

 

[aronnax]

Its like enviromental evangelism!

 

[jeps]

i hate PETA with a fiery passion of 1000 suns.

I dont hate their ideas. I hate their methods, I hate their evangelical behaviour, the paint-throwing, the likening the holocaust to chickens...

as someone who lost over 9 family members to the holocaust and the relative of 2 survivors, that offended me a lot and dont even get them started on how much THEY hate PETA.

 

[Yui108]

, to shoot at (not with guns)

What else....

 

[aronnax]

cameras? xlchar

 

[ComradeDavo]

I'm a vegetarian and I do sympathise with PETA, though I won't ever join them or anything.

 

[LightFang]

"animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment."

I am philosophically and morally opposed to what PETA means by this statement.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Not just philisophically but also morally!

Care to explain what it is about murdering animals for your own benefit that you find morally repulsive?

 

[Trafalgar]

I do not support any organisation that funds or supports PETA.

My money my choice.

Given that humans actually damage and destroy eco systems all over the world, you thus have no problem with them being killed out.

 

[GenMarshall]

PETA, A Militant Animal Rights group and eco-terrorists.

I take offense to that. PETA has nothing nothing on Riefenstahl.
