Oh no. What a bunch of tree-hugging idiots. :roll:
You guys are just dipshits once you see the PETA acronym. I mean, yes, they're occasionally waaaaaaaaay out there, but I don't see the problem with this.
Essentially PETA has lost all of their credibility in mainstream society. It is hard to take them serious for anything they do, even if it may be reasonable. I have been seeing more and more anti-PETA billboards and even television commercials. That is how fed up most people are with them.
For every possible legitimate concern PETA has, they have countless other extremist actions.
Such as?
Have they burned down anything? Most of the anti-PETA crowd are just ignorant rednecks who think only homosexuals are vegetarians.
Either way, they have a perfectly valid point yet 90% of this thread is comprised of utterly infantile responses.
Actually yes, they have been linked with paying people to firebomb research labs and cause other malicious damage.
Also good job with the brainless slander that anti-PETA people are ignorant rednecks. Your credibility is about as bad as PETA's now.
You have a link to back up your claim regarding the firebombing? Can you explain how treating chicken this way is acceptable? Can you explain why you
need to eat meat? All you people have been doing is pissing on PETA for no apparent reason other than that their position on the matter somehow offends you and I'M the one lacking credibility? Please.
As always, love the username. You do it justice.
HERE is some info, but it is with an anti-PETA bias so I am sure you will dismiss it.

Can you explain why you need to eat meat?
You never took a biology course, eh?
In case you don't know we are omnivores, meaning we eat basically what we can get our hands on. Our bodies are designed to eat and digest flesh, as well as fruits and veggies. Ever hear about us needing essential amino acids?
Yes, a vegetarian lifestyle is possible but it is not a 'natural' lifestyle. Meaning you have to live your life by choosing a mix of foods that is contrary to your innate biology. If you can do it, then more power to you. Most, if not all, the vegetarian people I have met in life are not getting their nutritional requirements due to their diet. They think they are doing the 'right' think but after a while they will suffer some consquences of depriving their body of needed macronutrients.
I have an undergrad degree in biology and therefore have studied one or two things about the metabolic pathways.
That is my credential, what is yours?
Besides that, it is besides the point. As other mentioned I should have the 'right' to eat meat if I so choose to. The question should be why should I not eat meat?
If PETA didn't take extremist actions, some of their arguements would be reasonable. Again they lost their credibility so with any stance they may take, it is hard to take them serious. Boy who cried wolf, if you would.
