There are animal cruelty issues in this world and this is, in my opinion, an unfortunate misuse of the court system, she said.

We are not filing this lawsuit for the money; we are filing this lawsuit
simply to protect our fundamental rights to speak out on behalf of the
animals.


The fiberglass animals? Thank god for idiots, they make life so amusing.

I so want to destroy this fiberglass elephant right now. Holy fark these people are idiots. They really need to get a job.

we should all ban together, a nice big group of farkers and burn that mother down!

Repeat intended solely to start a flame war. Gotta love fark...

way to tie up the courts, and to waste my tax dollars.
PETA = bunch of farken idiots
 
2003-07-02 03:08:29 PM
Thank heaven for lawyers. And for whacko, out-of-touch leftists who still exist in this day and age.
 
2003-07-02 03:08:39 PM
God Bless PETA! Making everyone a little bit happier through their hillarious hijinx. These people are too much.

This is my home town.

first of all, it's "The War Memorial at the Blue Cross Arena" not the "Blue Cross Arena"

second of all, there are a ton of these elephants all over town, Pittsford Wegman's has one with a cell phone, palm pilot and headset thing in front. They've been up for over a month. I'm pretty sure they're just trying to cause trouble over the fact that their elephant wasn't placed in front of thousands of ringling bros circus-goers.

PETA can suck a nut.
 
2003-07-02 03:09:07 PM
yes, thank heaven for lawyers. i'd be out of a job if it weren't for them.
 
2003-07-02 03:09:14 PM
ahhhhh leftist liberals!
 
2003-07-02 03:09:15 PM
Someone should free the poor elephant before it shot and made into a hot tub.
 
2003-07-02 03:09:17 PM
I heard that PETA has decided to sue all non-vegetarians for cruely consuming the helpless animals.
 
2003-07-02 03:09:29 PM
HEaring tihs crap makes me think of that Simpsons episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian and gets a raw pork chop in the face. I'd like to see that happen to the PETA losers.

Funny how they don't complain about other animals eating each other. Yet when people do it then it is horrible and unethical. The problem is that PETA people think they are superior to everyone and everything. Let's see them hang out with real animals (not like cows or otters) and see how superior they are then.

However, if they ever want to come back to my city with their skimpy, lettuce-leaf bikinis then I'm all for it.

PETA=People Eating Tasty Animals

/let the flaming begin, I like mine medium rare
 
2003-07-02 03:10:36 PM
Speak on behalf of the animals......do they realise that a lot of animals eat a lot of other animals? What, are they going to help the animals sue each other?
 
2003-07-02 03:11:04 PM
damn tree huggin hippies, go smoke your cannabis and relax
 
2003-07-02 03:11:09 PM
PETA= People Eating Tasty Ass

/as in mine!
 
2003-07-02 03:12:41 PM
We need a PETA tag... having PETA in the headline and DUMBASS as a tag is redundant.

Playboy should have a "Babes of PETA" issue. Have them all dressed in leather inside a meat packing plant.
 
2003-07-02 03:13:19 PM
If Foxes could raise chickens,do you think they would?
 
2003-07-02 03:13:25 PM
we should be allowed to do anything to animals we want ,as long as its in the privacy of our own homes! Including having sexual intercourse! Its a fundamental right!
 
2003-07-02 03:13:33 PM
Why dont these people just go the fark away. If I want to eat the aminals I will. PETA gets up my ass about it, beating will ensue. Dont mess with my bbq you whining little snot rags. Oh, and please pass the cow.
 
2003-07-02 03:14:58 PM
Can anyone here actually read? Yea, PETA does a lot of stupid things, but suing because they're freedom of speech was impeded sounds like a legitimate cause to me. Despite the misleading FARK headline, they're not suing because they thought the statue was poorly treated.

I suspect everyone already knew this, but why let facts interfered with your flaming of PETA...

Oh yea, the next idiot who says People Eating Tasty Animals should be shot. How's that for freedom of speech?
 
2003-07-02 03:17:03 PM
ive had this tag i made hovering around for a while now...
we realllly need to adopt it..

 
2003-07-02 03:17:19 PM
For the love of zombie jesus, will you morons READ the article?
 
2003-07-02 03:17:48 PM
Aren't they basically suing a private organization? CAnt' private organizations exclude who they wish?
 
2003-07-02 03:18:12 PM
PETA posts don't usually turn into flamewars because there really aren't any PETA members normal enough to also be Farkers.

Wait, did I just say Farkers were normal?

Anyway, I don't think they would bother posting a message in this thread; they would more likely sue Drew for allowing the animal-hate to continue.
 
2003-07-02 03:18:43 PM
I can't stand these fuqwads. Please it is dicrimination against meat eaters and i am feeling abused and harrased, Im gonna sue. Any one know a good shark, urm lawyer
 
2003-07-02 03:19:16 PM
I just hit a deer by my house and didn't stop to give it aid. You think PETA would try to lock me up?
 
2003-07-02 03:19:42 PM
PETA believes: Animals > Humans.

Someone ought to notify them about the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. They'd probably think it is a good idea.

PETA does a lot of stupid things but I think on this one I agree with them. If you had a company and had an ad to go up at the Super Bowl and they put it in the wrong building I think you would be really pissed too.
They do say and do a lot of stupid things but most of the people on Fark are just on the other extreme and sound just as dumb.
 
2003-07-02 03:22:53 PM
innocent HUMANS are being killed every day in Iraq and all they can think about is a fiberglass elephant. What is more important to these deviants? An animals life of a human life? No doubt they would say animals. Well that being the case I guess we can kill them and they won't protest, at least we aren't killing animals.

A few months back there was a National Eat an Animal for PETA day, Anyone remember when that was? There was a great picture associated with it too with a little white puppy looking up at the camera with a huge bold caption below stating "EAT ME!"

Anyone have that still?
 
2003-07-02 03:22:54 PM
It's been said, but:

1) It's a repeat.

2) The headline writer did as bad a job of reading the article this time as the previous one did. They aren't suing over the treatment of the elephant, they're suing because they claim the city took steps to try and silence their message while the circus was in town.

/Nothing new to add. It was flamebait the first time and it's flamebait now.
 
2003-07-02 03:23:44 PM
The point of the PETA elephant was to show that circus animals aren't always treated well, and the intended audience was circus-goers, so they'd have something to think about while watching the animals run through the ring.

Truth of the matter is, the real reason people (including some of the people here with at least a double-digit IQ) have a problem with PETA is because they (PETA) mix in things like this, which have a legitimate message to get out, with utterly ridiculous shiat. Bad PR is not the same as good PR, and until the higher ups realize that, people will automatically knee-jerk against them, regardless of the individual message they are trying to get out.

All of the sensible things they stand for are lost in a sea of "Hamburg should be renamed Veggieburg," and "No more dolphins searching for mines at sea." A good amount of the time, their hearts are in the right place... but far too often, their heads are up their @sses.

PETA person1: "Why won't anyone take us seriously?"
PETA person2: "I dunno."
PETA person1: "I wonder if we can blackmail Hamburg PA into changing their name to Veggieburg?"

See...it's people like this that make the right-wing lunatics currently in-charge seem normal, salt of the earth folk.

Recycled ... same elephant different article
 
2003-07-02 03:27:38 PM
There are PETA people who would like to put you (and me) in jail for eating a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.
 
2003-07-02 03:28:05 PM
So that's what Peta's been doing since the end of the show? Why she so upset?
 
2003-07-02 03:28:46 PM
PETA= we know
KEGE="Kill 'Em & Grill 'Em"

There's no doubt in my mind that it's a misearable existence for any animal, but...

"They perform not because they want to, but because they are afraid of what will be done to them if they dont"

...is shameless anthropomorphizing to provoke an emotive response.
 
2003-07-02 03:32:00 PM
Gee, I guess it's too much to expect people read an article before making uninformed comments about it.
 
2003-07-02 03:32:42 PM
Peta = US borne terrorist organization.

/End Flame Bait

OK people, it's time we make a stand. I am sending an email to inf­o[nospam-﹫-backwards]atep­*org. below is a copy of that email. if you want to write your own? great, if you want to cut and paste mine? just as good. WE MUST stop the PETA people from continueing this farce of a crusade.

PETA people:

I, as a human being, a member of the only species on this planet with the ability to master ones environment, am sickened, nauseated, and disgusted with your blatant disregard for other members of your species. I am constantly baffled by your stances, your outrageous and horrifying campaigns such as the one comparing the systematic killing of chickens for food to the systematic SLAUGHTER of Jews in the holocaust.I am disgusted with your abuse of the United States Legal system, costing the taxpayers millions only to fuel your own agendas, and lets face it, to get publicity. Worst of all, you have been proven to be a group of hypocrites, choosing to COMPLETELY ignore issues such as the death of MILLIONS of animals in wheat threshers every year. Wheat that I'm sure you have consumed in some form. Yeah, enjoy that "guilt free" bean-sprout sandwich on MURDER BREAD. At least we Omnivores make use of all of the animals we use for food. The ones you're partially responsible for rot away in the fields they were cut down in.

PETA is no better than any other fundamentalist group. You rank up there with the Taliban with your totalitarian ways. It is my hope that in my lifetime, your money sucking media machine of an "organization crumbles"

Don't bother writing back to me, I won't be contacting the press about anything you should have to say, so it's a waste of your time.

Happily exercising my right to free speech
An American Consumer.
