I need to find a way to gather as many PETA mambers as possible to protest on or around threshers or giant meat grinders. Or in an area with a lot of undiscovered land mines. Got to think of a plan...

I sat front row and center for one Sickfreak and Roid's shows. The animals were extremely close and the stage was without a barrier to protect the audience. I never felt uncomfortable about the animals being out of control. The show was unintentionally hilarious, as I expected, but I thought that the guys treated the animals extemely well.

Prior to seeing the show I was certain that Siegfried and Roy were humping their tigers on the sly, but after watching the show I had a lot more respect for how they treat their animals. My opinion that they're freaks of the first degree didn't change.

P.S. I'd hope the USDA would get their tickets for free, the show sucked. PETA sucks too.

PETA doesn't like Roy; In other news, your butcher says the hamburger's good today, and your fishmonger says buy the salmon.

for the record, I support vegtarians and animal activists, but PETA does nothing for the cause other than making people think all vegans are crazy, inconsiderate assholes.

BillDaryl,

Off the top of my head, without even googling it or checking the Peta sites (or anti peta sites):

- Peta has lied about money they gave to ELF and ALF and other radical vandals/domestic terrorists.
- Peta continues to espouse that "cows eat corn that could feed humans" in spite of the fact that there is PLENTY of food in the world and that the issue is corruption and poor distribution in the third world.
- Peta espouses the "no testing" line and continues to pound away on the fact that all animal testing could be replaced by in-vitro tests but for the fact that there is an "animal testing industry" which exists because scientists are sadistic freaks. This is intellectually dishonest and false. As noted above, they can protest for an additional 20.8 years because of animal testing.
- Peta claims Jesus was a vegetarian through some of the most convoluted biblical analysis since some ancient Hebrew guy invented gammatria (Hebrew math to unlock the secret bible "codes"). I don't believe in the divinity of Jesus, but I have studied enough bible and biblical literature to know that they are fulluvit.

...and that's just off the top of my head. Nothing as blatant as "Tom Brokaw is an alien robot" which will get them sued... just lots of little lies, halftruths and exaggerations that make their entire message less credible.

I'm not in favour of cruelty to animals, but i am certainly not in favour of Peta defining what is and what is not cruel.

You know when your sibling was five and you were much older and cooler at the age of eight and all they wanted was to have you give them ALL OF YOUR ATTENTION AT ALL TIMES FOR ANY REASON POSSIBLE. PETA works in the same manner. They are the obnoxious five year old with a carrot stuck up its nose in an attempt to make people look.

I hope it gets stuck up there...

The vegetable-eating psychos at PETA ought to just shut their corn-holes.
 
2003-10-22 01:40:53 PM
The real problem with PETA is that they have embraced the idea that "in your face" confrontationism (I don't care if that's a word or not, you know what I mean) is the most effective means of getting their message across. In that regard, they are exactly like the ELF (and, allegations of these two groups co-conspiring aside, I don't think there's any concrete evidence to show that have). It's the talk show culture at work--I'll be as loud, rude, and annoying as I possibly can until you listen to me. The problem is, the only people you'll really engage with that method are the loud, rude, annoying people who disagree with you. The majority of people--people who might be swayed one way or the other by intelligent arguments--tune out.

It's a lot like bulletin boards, actually.

Even if Siegfried and Roy were slipping the inspectors suitcases of money and big sloppy blowjobs, nobody's going to believe it until they hear it from someone reliable. PETA's antics have destroyed any shred of credibility they may have once had. They're a bigger freakshow circus than a couple of fruity German men and a pack of mutant tigers could ever hope to be.

Latoya- I'm guessing that you're joking about being a member of PETA. Your bio suggests otherwise.
 
2003-10-22 01:51:14 PM
The PETA organization and their members/followers/groupies/sympathizers or what have you, are just run of the mill self-important, self-obsessed, and self promotional assholes. If they really wanted to shake things up a bit and really give a black-eye to a huge meat peddling conglomerate, why don't they go after the graft in the meat packing industry? I'm talking about the obivous pay-offs to local and national governments to keep illegal immigrants gainfully employed at meat packing plants! Everyone knows they do this. Every six months or so the INS goes through the plants and cleans house of all the undocumented workers and deports them. Two months later, the same ones are back and working in the very place they were kicked out of. And so the cycle continues.
Listen, I am a meat eater and I don't have problems with illegal immigrants. I don't blame them for coming here and trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. If the plants could not knowingly hire undocumented workers, they would be hard pressed to find locals that would work the same shiat hours, shiat pay, and shiat benefits that the illegals do willingly and unquestioning. I'm just saying that if PETA was really concerned about animal welfare instead of their own self promotionary agenda, they could really hit the meat packing industry where it hurts; the wallet.
Even PETA was advertising a new Burger King veggie burger on their website! Does that make any sense to anyone?

I believe even BK stated that the veggie burger was cooked in the same meat fat as the burger and was unsuitable for Hindu's and the like. I could be wrong, I'm not about to write BK to find out. I dont give a shiat because I dont eat there.

I just read up on PETA's recent headlines. Evidently they have spent most of their efforts in the past few months on trying to get towns to change their names and cast off their heritage:

"The group recently asked officials in Hamburg, Germany, to consider the name "Veggieburg," Franzetta said. And, to no avail, they suggested Fishkill, N.Y. try on "Fishsave" for size."

This week they have asked a western town called "Rodeo" to change it's name to "Unity" because "The name Rodeo conjures images of a brutal, anachronistic sport that glorifies animal cruelty."

The town's response:

"They can forget it," said Lyndon Valerro an advisory committee member. "They need to go back to the corral and sit in a pile."

In my experiences working restaurants in High School, probably the most fustrating customers to deal with are
1. British people
2. Vegans
3. Tie for everyone else.

But the thing about British people is that they're mostly not intentionally fustrating. Vegans, on the other hand, can eat s*** and die.

Oh yeah, tell me what you guys think:
PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals
Hahahaha that's pretty original I think.

PETA, like any other organization, has its extremists. It is these morons that give otherwise noble causes a bad rap. Religious fundamentalists, extreme environmentalists, and the like all do more harm to the causes they are promoting than good. It's sad, really, that the overly vocal minority has lost a group such as PETA all of its credibility, but, unfortunately, it has.

The same thing happened with environmentalism. Instead of making moral/ethical/logical appeals, these activists went out and pissed everyone off, making the rest of the world, who may have been persuaded to do their part. Now, everyone has a knee-jerk reaction to the words "preserve the environment."

I think Mr. carlin said it best...

"We're so self-important. Everybody's going to save something now. "Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails." And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. What? Are these farking people kidding me? We haven't learned how to care for one another, we're gonna save the farking planet? I'm getting tired of that shiat. I'm tired of farking Earth Day, I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren't enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world save for their Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don't give a shiat about the planet. Not in the abstract they don't. You know what they're interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They're worried that some day in the future, they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn't impress me.
Besides, there is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The PEOPLE are farked. The planet is fine. Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. Been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We've been here, what, a hundred thousand? Maybe two hundred thousand? And we've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred years versus four and a half billion. And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we're a threat?

The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles...hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worlwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages...And we think some plastic bags, and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn't going anywhere. WE ARE!
We're going away. Pack your shiat, folks. We're going away. And we won't leave much of a trace, either. Thank God for that."
 
2003-10-22 02:17:33 PM
Exactly what I was saying, alexi. There's nothing really wrong with the *idea* of PETA. Hell, I don't like the idea of people wearing fur much, and I don't like the idea of torturing animals so vain women can have prettier shades of eye shadow. But instead of making actual appeals to the mainstream, PETA let its voice be sublet to its vocal minority--i.e., vegan diehards--who moved the public perception of the organization way, way off track. Now, nobody in the mainstream respects PETA, even though they actually do stand for things that most people in the mainstream would support. But the only group to blame for that is PETA. They did it to themselves.
 
2003-10-22 02:20:09 PM
I sense that there are some people who do not like the acronym, "People Eating Tasty Animals". They may appear that they do, but they are not being sincere. In fact, they feel contempt for anyone who uses the phrase.

Pocket Ninja: But instead of making actual appeals to the mainstream, PETA let its voice be sublet to its vocal minority

Sociological phenomenon. Happens in nearly every organization -- Look at the NRA, GOP, Democrats, or even your local PTA. Zealots move into positions of power in an organization because zealots are the only ones sufficiently motivated to seek power.

 
2003-10-22 02:23:20 PM
Besides, isn't PETA just really pissing off the kind of people that would most likely support them and donate to them in the first place?

It seems to me that big Siegfried and Roy fans are the same kinds of people that have 3 or 4 cats, refer to their cats, "as their babies", Have cat wallpaper on their monitors, Cat coffee mugs, sign their pet's names on birthday cards, wrap up christmas presents for their pets and put a tag on it with their pet's name, and have at least three pictures of their pet in their wallet or purse and show them to any stranger that will listen and tell them about the whacky things said pets do?
You know these kind of people. I sure do. I also know that these people have a greater propensity to donate cash to organizations that are supposedly trying to lookout for animal welfare.

You forgot the part about how it's run by animals, and how the animals attack the human and wins. In other words, the part about how it relates to PETA, exactly.
