Which breed in unconsumed rotting and idle dead flesh. Not in our stomachs.

So are 6 billion other people.
(Should read: Tupac wasn't even that great)

YOU'RE AN IDIOT. TRY AGAIN LATER K? GREAT

This whole "Tupac is the greatest rapper ever" business is just hype... and you're just another sad kid that jumped on the bandwagon. Congratulations.

 

[gasser11]

anyone know if PETA supporters ever take medications, considering every single drug out there has been tested on animals? Do they go to doctors, considering surgical techniques and just about every single thing related to medicine has been practiced on animals?

Constatine the movie was ehhh, not my cup of tea. I'm sure if Tupac was in PETA and he went to watch the movie with me we'd both agree that Reeve's part is getting bland predictable and unsavory.

I'm sure that he'd also agree that while the visual stimulation and the fine audio did indeed make the whole movie watchable, that overall it was really pretty subpar when it comes down to it and although entertaining and watchable the first time, it won't be watched again.

There it is, Tupac said he would not watch Constatine twice.

Peta folks are wackier than a 3 dollar bill. There newest line is that fish are smarter than most dogs, so we should not be eating fish....give me a freakin break....

Yep, they have misplaced priorities. I am against cruelty to animals, but these people are just against HUMANS...

 

[Mucho]

They are mostly fanatics........thats what turn many people off.

 

[JulesMaximus]

If PETA really gave half a sh!t about animals instead of headlines they'd focus on the thousands of underfunded animal shelters across the US that kill millions of unwanted pets each year and try to do something to help them.

Fvcking hypocrites. PETA are a bunch of extremist whackos. Nothing more.

Oh the irony of me editing it just as you did.

But not to fix any minor mistakes or small hopes for you to try and gain some tiny handful of pitiful dirt to throw in an non-existent argument, that I won anyways, but only because I felt that our discussion was beneath me and under minded the other forum users as a whole.

I am really unconcerned as to your under informed and imaginary opinion of me or anyone else and I've chosen not to pursue this amateurish play of wits and words any further.

Enjoy yourself, by yourself.

 

[Literati]

g'day sir.

 

[Literati]

I SAID GOOD DAY.

 

[Zebo]

They've gone too far. Back in the day they were intrumental in outlawing brutal dog fighting and cock fighting but now they place animals above human life which does'nt sit cool with me being an avid hunter/fisherman and being on top of food chain.

Good that you brought that up because this subject really interest me. My father was extremely unreasonable. He use to like locking up dogs for an entire day because they'lll poop and piss outside and carry dirt onto the cement driveway. When I told him he shouldn't lock pets in a small cage the entire day and watch them walk around in their own filth, he counter argue that I'm putting the value of animal over human. To me that is not over the line. The end result of my father's mistreatment of animals was two dead dogs.

But where do you draw the line of human comfort vs animal suffering? If we were to apply this to all cases, then we might as will whip out all national park and endanger species and start building more condos and squeeze every drop of oil out of Alaska. There would be no need to clean up the ocean after an oil spill because why should human have to work(suffer) to help those ocean critters?



Everyone here will probably agree that skinning something alive for fur is wrong. Cutting the head off a fish for food seems fine. Hunting dears for food seems ok(Some navy guy in virginia said you can feed off a deer for 1/2 a year, can't argue with that).

I'm not picking sides here, but nobody here besides screwd01 has really made any arguement that some PETA action was step over the line and place animal over human life. Ok, so they believe eating fish is wrong, but can somebody provide an example and link of PETA trying to enforce this on the rest of us. You know, like bombing a boat because it was fishing?
Perhaps most people here are right in assuming that PETA is a bunch of loose cannons, but all the same can somebody provide a link with such facts.

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

they are nutjob hippie whachos that need to get real jobs. besides that they just go to far and protest everything involving animals.

 

[imported_Mike]

Yea, handing these out to children is within reason....

 

[imported_Mike]

Yes Timmy, slaughtering animals is just like the Holocaust....

They are an extremist organization who supports militantism. If you look at their website they spell this out pretty clearly. You'd think that any reasonable organization would want to distance themselves from this type of activity.

From their FAQ:

Here is their argument of forcing their view on others:

?It?s fine for you to believe in animal rights, but why do you try to tell other people what to do??
Everybody is entitled to his or her own opinion, but freedom of thought is not the same thing as freedom of action. You are free to believe whatever you want as long as you don?t hurt others. You may believe that animals should be killed, that black people should be enslaved, or that women should be beaten, but you don?t always have the right to put your beliefs into practice. The very nature of reform movements is to tell others what to do?don?t use humans as slaves, don?t sexually harass women, etc.?and all movements initially encounter opposition from people who want to continue to take part in the criticized behavior.

And here's their view on militantism:

?How can you justify the millions of dollars of property damage caused by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF)??
Throughout history, some people have felt the need to break the law to fight injustice. The Underground Railroad and the French Resistance are examples of movements in which people broke the law in order to answer to a higher morality. The ALF, which is simply the name adopted by people who act illegally in behalf of animal rights, breaks inanimate objects such as stereotaxic devices and decapitators in order to save lives. ALF members burn empty buildings in which animals are tortured and killed. ALF ?raids? have given us proof of horrific cruelty that would not have otherwise been discovered or believed and have resulted in criminal charges? being filed against laboratories for violations of the Animal Welfare Act. Often, ALF raids have been followed by widespread scientific condemnation of the practices occurring in the targeted labs, and some abusive laboratories have been permanently shut down as a result.
