God animal rights people piss me off. What a bunch of squeamish, scared pussies. They are afraid of LIFE. Newsflash: DEATH AND PAIN ARE PART OF LIFE. Yes, we can relieve and remove some pain, but we cannot eliminate all pain and we certainly can't eliminate death. Most animal rights activists I know have never actually seen death first hand. I would like to see all animal rights activists rounded up and forced to live ON THEIR OWN in, say, the high arctic or Newfoundland. Good luck with that vegan diet THEN, asshats.

Eliminate humans killing animals and then how will they die? Because they're GOING TO DIE. What do they plan to do? Go around and inject barbituates into the sick, starving and old because that's one SLOW PAINFUL way they're going to go. The other option is by predation, but that's less likely since we've squeezed out most predators, so instead populations will balloon and they'll just starve and die of exposure. If they're lucky enough to get taken down by a predator, here's another news flash: as predators go, humans tend to be the most "humane" about it. Have you ever heard the noise a deer makes when it gets taken down by wolves? Do you think a bald eagle takes the time to club a fish senseless before it rips its entrails out? You ever see a cat play with a mouse before killing it and then NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO EAT IT?

Keeerist. I buy my meat from ranchers that I know that run humane farms where the animals aren't stressed and die "happy", as it were (I also loathe the anthropomorphising of animals.) I would like to see less factory farming and better farming practices, and I'm not big into the fur industry, but human beings farked things up for other human beings so that that's the only way they have to make a living.

Why can't these numbnuts redirect their energy into making life easier for some of their fellow humans? Or, why can't they see the ends of their stupid reasoning: that the only way a human can live without harming other life is to not live at all? Then they can do the entire planet a favour and shoot themselves.

Let's face it, PETA is protecting minks because they are cute.

Take dolphin-free tuna. Why protect the dolphin and not the tuna? Dolphin are cute. Tuna are not. Screw the tuna.

How many polyesters have to die to cloth a PETA member? (rhetorical, not a joke. At least not a funny one.)

Hey BigDawg -- I guess because retards aren't as smart as you, you should eat them and skin them and wear them, right?

As an airitarian, I find all of you sick farks who eat any living thing reprehensible. Vegetable or animal, they all share our sphere of life and have the same right to exist as we.

I am all for the ethical treatment of animals. I wish I had the willpower to go veggie, really. (Though not vegan.)

I still wear leather shoes.

I have guilty feelings about all this.

But Peta, while they have my symapthies as far as the idea behind their cause goes, just continue time and time again to prove themselves to be utter farking morons who alienate more people than they bring to their cause.

This stunt is the worst thing I have ever heard of them pulling.

Also, I am sorry, but we need to test medicines on animals. Not cosmetics, but medicines. Unless you, mister PETA man, would like to volunteer for this experimental chemotherapy? No? How about your kid, would they like to try this theoretical drug for neurological disorders? No?

Any alternitaves?

I can see it now PETA memeber stomped to death by family of 4 outside of theater . Look they have a right too protest the mistreatment of animals , however this dose not give them the right to disrespect children with extremist propaganda . Thay keep this up and a lot of PETA members are going to end up hurt .

Also,they should go to Italy. Every woman there gets an ugly-ass brown fur when she turns forty or so, it just seems to be part of the natural growth cycle. Turn forty, sprout ugly-ass brown fur coat. We don't wear a fourth of the fir coats in this country as they do in Italy, I would guess.

The difference is, the Italians wouldn't put up with that crap.

And you know what if guys wearing fur didn't look totally homosexual I'd wear it too. I could care less if someone ground the little mothers up in a big meat grinder while alive to get the fur. I'm a human. I am the top of the food chain. There's a reason for that. We're smarter and better equiped.

Somehow, your post doesn't inspire confidence in that last point.

PETA was shocked when a donkey was used in an attempt to blow up people. To clarify: PETA was shocked about the donkey part.

In other news, I'd just like to point out that:

There is a fairly direct correlation between confidence (esp. in the rightness of your actions/words/etc.) and stupidity.

I don't advocate violence, but if I had small children, and someone handed them one of these things, I really think I would beat the shiat out of the guy.

Seriously, I would urge anyone whose child is traumatized by this to do two things: (1) complain to the Attorney General of Massachusetts; and (2) consult a plaintiff's attorney about bringing a claim against PETA for intentional infliction of emotional distress. It's a hard claim to win, but I think this conduct may qualify. And the only way to stop maniacal groups like PETA from engaging in this type of activity is to hit them in the pocketbook. Were I a Massachusetts lawyer, I'd take the cases pro bono.

The human race wouldn't have existed without eating animals. There no reason they should be mistreated, but im still gonna go out and enjoy my burgers. Hell, if I were starving to death I'd eat a PETA member.

I always have the ultimate comeback for in-your-face Vegans/Vegetarians.

"I love animals. I think killing animals is murder. I also dislike humans, and think animal life is more important than human life. Now, I'm here, eating this burger, and you are in my face, annoying me. A cow died for this burger, and it wasn't even annoying. What does that tell you?"
 
2003-12-17 03:23:27 PM
Ho-hum, I submitted this story ages ago.

All I've got to say is if PETA traumatizes my kid like that while I'm around, they better RUN.

Does a second-hand fur jacket from the 70s count? I didn't actually buy originally.

Also, didn't we get our big brains from eating meat thus giving us the ability to feel sorry for animals? So, if we stop eating meat, then our brains will shrink and we'll start eating meat again because we won't feel sorry for them anymore.

One day, during the future nuclear winter, all those pussies will be running around killing any animal they can get their hands on and knitting together the scraps of fur to make a coat. Then they will knaw at the raw remains.

I think this is just about the funniest thing ever. Just imagine the kids' faces, lol.

I need one of these pamphlets fo' real.

Also, I'll defend PETA here. They believe animals have as many rights as people, and they aggresively defend those rights. So some kid cries when he sees a pic of mommy gutting a rabbit. Kids are weak and soft anyways. Time to toughen them up!
 
2003-12-17 03:30:21 PM
hey if those PETA morons want to pass on the meat, cool, more for me
i love food, love to cook it, love to grow it, LOVE to eat it.
The ironic thing is what they advocate is against nature itself. yes i have a conscience and i figure i'm no better than any other living thing on earth, so rather than smugly try to redefine the natural order i join it.
(if a shark eats me... i've completed the circle)
i can live with that -

i wouldn't go to their children and make this point, cause that would make me a fascist ass

The first part is true, but now humans can eat other things that contain protein. It's called a grocery store, try looking in other sections than the meat dept.

Kymry

The reason we are testing on animals and not humans is not because of lack of volunteers, we'd have plenty, but because of cost and legal issues.

Imagine a starving family in the third world, you offer them a deal "We feed your children if you let us test chemotherapy on you.", but nooo, that would be "unethical" and "expensive" and "farked up". Well, at least they get a choice.


(Oh, before I get accused of trolling, I'm not, I'm just looking for someone who agrees with me, and in the past 10 years of holding this opinion, I've only found one person. )
 
2003-12-17 03:32:07 PM
I'm going to make up fliers that say "Your mommy loves animals and do you know what people do when they're in love? They have sex!!! Late at night when you're sleeping your mommy is out farking a cow. When you're at school eating your tofu and sprouts your mommy is farking a mink. Don't let your mommy near your pets at home or she'll fark them too!!!"

Look, I dislike PETA like all rational people but don't let your image of PETA destroy the issues PETA thinks are confronting. Animal cruelty is an issue that does deserve to be addressed. Just don't judge a whole issue based on some of its spokesmen (PETA). That is like judging Christians based on Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell.



fark you peta lover

Groman -- I've always thought that too. I bet there would be lines of people allowing themselves to be tested on for some cash, or even a meal.

If you're not going to have the hotties naked in your protests, please go to the nearest Ruth's Chris try to pull some crap. People with money'll jail your sorry ass.

If only we could convince them to picket a slaughterhouse in the midwest. Oh, the blood would fly. Ho ho.

OlaftheBent - Thought you might want to know where that quote came from. It was my sig for many years when I first got on the net.:


A lady came up to me on the street and pointed to my suede jacket. "You know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" she sneered. I replied in a psychotic tone, "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too."

-Comedian Jake Johansen in 1988

I am a tree hugger. I am a vegetarian, and I find that my body looks, feels, and functions better without including meat in my diet. I spent my college summers working on whale watching boats, collecting funds to save those lovely sea beauties. I give to the Audobon Society to help maintain wildlife refuges. I see no reason at all why a compassionate person would even consider wearing fur. The treatment of animals in corporate farms disgusts me. (My jury's still out on medical testing though--I don't like it, but if my kids had cancer and a few monkeys had ti die to save htem, I think I'd be all for animal testing.)

So that's what side of the Ethical Treatment of Animals fence I'm currently grazing on.

All that said, I farking hate PETA. Their terrorist tactics make people like me look bad. I try to be fairly moderate and non-preachy, because common sense tells me that I can't get people to change the way they eat and dress by calling them names, as PETA has been doing for the last several years, though that would certainly thin out the ranks of my friends. When did the use of logic and education to alter human behavior patterns go out of vogue? I convinced my husband to give up meat by example and by exposing him to some facts about how it would increase his chances of avoiding the heart disease that plagues his family. I did not stand over his hamburger shouting "Murder" at every bite, as doing so would have only pissed him off.

So Kittypoo, you can sign me up for your anit-PETA club. PETA has really gone too far here. Terrorising children won't stop the production of fur, though it seems to have gotten PETA a headline. I'd galdly be the toekn moderate vegetarian tree hugger in any effort to discredit PETA.

And God Bless anyone who turns around and sues PETA for scaring their kid. If Mommy didn't kill the animal, then it's a classic straight up libel suit.
 
2003-12-17 03:43:04 PM
I wear fur. Vintage fur. I like it and it keeps me warm.
Once, at a concert, a guy asked me if my fur-lined collar was real. When I said yes he recoiled and told me how fur is bad and I am a bad person for wearing it.
Well, the animal was dead before I was alive (it was a 1950s coat) and even if it hadn't been killed for its pelt, it would have been dead by now anyway.
 
2003-12-17 03:43:50 PM
Dont hug the tree, cut it down. I need a new porch.
 
2003-12-17 03:44:00 PM
This sounds like it would be happening to people i don't know, so i'm all for what PETA's doing as long as they make a tv show about it so i can laugh at the crying children whilst eating lots of tasty, tasty bacon.
 
2003-12-17 03:44:21 PM
The artic is a good reason to wear fur.
 
2003-12-17 03:45:06 PM
The best response to these idiots should be:
"How many trees did you destroy to make all of these flyers?"

I was raised on a farm, so I have a pretty good understanding of how the life cycle of pretty much everything is. My family raised cattle, pigs, sheep, horses (not for eating), chickens and turkeys all of which lived the best life possible all of them well looked after throught out there lives. My father (one of the kindest people you will ever meet) was not cruel to animals in the least but hey we have to eat and we have to make money so off with there heads. Now when I look at this I do not see an inhumane way of doing things these animals had a very good life they ate when they wanted they slept when they wanted they had a very stress free life. PETA would call my father (and farmers like him) murderous and dispicable. Myself I think the shoe is one the wrong foot.
 
2003-12-17 03:45:32 PM
There is only so far you can go... You have to balance things in your life... Be thankful for the animals that you do eat...try to be more conscious of what it means to consume the flesh of another living being. It is part of being human and has been for as long as we've been around. It just seems that we've totally lost touch with where the burger comes from...little kids don't eat meat off the bone very much for safety reasons, but it has the side effect of detatching them from the understanding of what they are eating...that it was a creature and not simply a piece of food.

I think that raising kids to respect animals is very important. It helps them to treat humans with respect and just makes them decent kids. I think it is vital for kids to understand what they're eating and where it came from in a general sense...

fur? well, unless you live in an igloo or something... I don't think it's worth taking a life.
 
2003-12-17 03:46:04 PM
Y'know, I don't care for the notion of an animal being killed simply for its fur myself...but PETA continues to confound me.

You've hit rock bottom as an organization as far as I'm concerned if your new tactics for recruitment involve, for all intents and purposes, brainwashing little kids. What's next; ANSWER passing out pictures of injured and killed Iraqis to a kindergarten class?

PETA can suck it. A school bus could blow up tomorrow on some lonely highway, killing all 45 on board; and most PETA members would only feel sadness for a squirrel that suffered a sprained ankle because of it. Good job, I applaud you.
