It's actually true, the part where PETA don't really give a shiat about humans being killed

http://www.peta.org/feat/arafat/

www.peta.org

They wrote a letter to Yassif Arafat after they learned he had used a live donkey as a bomb, killing many Israeli civilians. Not a word about the human victims, she said that the nations of the world had all been shock.... by the use of an animal.

She didn't even called for an end to violence, she just asked to keep animals out of it.

Bark raving mad. I really regret supporting them for a small period of time, when I didn't know much about them. I really really regret it now.

As for my support, that was about 7 years ago, I didn't know much about them then, I simply wanted to contribute to organism that were fighting against animal cruelty and I didn't know much about them.

They're self-hating humans, they see humanity as a cancer or fungus threatening Mother Gaia and her peaceful creatures. fark them, we're on top of the food chain.

In defense of PETA, they're not really equipped to tackle the subject of human rights abuses and killings since they're geared towards animals. And they don't do that well well, either.

Or to put it another way: would you want PETA "arguing" on your behalf for anything?

Pretty much. They are not as extreme as other environmentalists who actually wish that more than half of the human race could be wiped to "save the planet", but they are still waaaaay in the deep end for the most part.

I mean, and I'm not making comparison between the two groups, but the Nazis really loved animals and passed all sorts of legislations making it what they saw as "cruelty against animals" completely illegal. So PETA's point that "once we treat the animals decently, we'll treat each others decently" is retarded.

No, but come on, couldn't they say that "taking of lives, animals or humans, is wrong, and we want to please ask the two sides to make peace and stop the senseless killing" or some other type of comments like that? Not just "Keep on killin', dudes, just keep the poor innocent animals out of this"?

We can't expect 2 groups of people to know any better unless someone tells them.

I wish I could say that and be sarcastic about it.

PETA are hypocrites, as well:

PETA Euthanizes Animals

They take all the money they could be using to actually care for animals and spend it on campaign ads against ridiculous causes. When they don't have the money to care for animals, it kills the animals.

Hypocrites. Douchebag farking hypocrites.

This. I have no problem with them being solely concerned about animals. There are lots of other groups (basically everyone) who's charter is to be concerned about humans.

I'm not saying the PETA isn't a bunch of dbags, of course.

 
Fark_me_while_running 2009-04-05 03:23:26 PM  
I'd rather see a world government funded black ops team be sent in to various locations around the world to hunt and kill poachers that hunt endangered animals and those that do exotic animal sport hunts. That almost seems more reasonable than Peta these days.

I don't give a fark either since the Tamil Tigers are a bunch of assassins, suicide bombers, and are the darlings of Brit Commies. I put them down with FARC and Hezbollah -- guys who get their rocks from perpetual warfare.

Plus, if the SWP likes something, it's a good bet to be against it.

You don't seem to know anything about who they're fighting against.

In fairness, trollmitter, they have these things called "human rights organizations" whose job it is to care about humans. The economics concept of specialization applies here.

 
Madheretic 2009-04-05 03:34:56 PM  
Tamil Tigers are terrorists, plain and simple. They even assassinated India's Prime Minister via suicide bombing, and they use innocent civilians as shields against the Sri Lankan army by not letting the people escape to safer regions, making it difficult for the army to bring an end to them without harming civilians.

How scandalous, an animal defense group focuses on the defense of animals instead of spreading itself thin to combat all other problems on the planet.

That's like saying an aids funding campaign didn't mention heart attacks which kill more people, so they're scum.

You can stop the foaming at the mouth now.

George Carlin had it right:

The planet is fine, the people are farked. Environmentalists aren't concerned about the planet, they are concerned about *themselves*. The planet will self-heal, it will repair itself, and humans will be long gone before the planet finally gets engulfed by the Sun expanding and swallowing it whole.

That didn't actually happen (subby trolled you), and it's weird that you would assume they did such a thing, because the headline actually implies they canceled the conference.

On another note, why does Fark have a special box on UPI's site? Look down and to the right. I've seen some awfully lame stories on UPI, and am beginning to think it's just a sandbox for Fark headlines. Or is the content of that box determined by the link that you follow to the UPI site?

I think they should as much as the NAACP, LGBT, and the US postal service should.

I complain about Habitat for Humanity never raising money to fight cancer. They help fight one problem, so presumably they should be fighting them all.

So you're a better person because you're not concerned about either one?

And I'm glad it wasn't 100 tigers, that would make a serious dent in the remaining tiger population. And Tamil tigers are responsible for their actions. Tiger animals are just trying to get along.

Black Ops taking out hunters. That would make for a funny movie. A bunch of Texans take their kids snipe hunting, but end up having to escape the wilderness while a team of commandos hunts them down one by one. All over an animal that doesn't exist.

I'm not a marine biologist, but I would wager that sharks statistically have more to fear from humans than vice versa.

MRSA, on the other hand, is hungry for your flesh.

Give me a farking break, that's hardly a defense of PETA.

Way I see it, I don't want the arguing on behalf of anyone or anything. It would be better if they just went away.

Personally I hate the idea of left vs. right. It greatly oversimplifies politics and serves, in the US anyway, to help the two major parties keep their followers ignorant.

It might not be very good headline writing, but bashing PETA is always relevant. If nothing else, it at least shows you've got your heart on the right spot.

Try the ASPCA. And support your local no-kill animal shelter, if there's one in your area.

Such is the real failure of PETA. They stand for a cause that 80% of people could get behind but they act like such morons that bashing them could be an Olympic sport.
