Good call hawg but not what i meant. It still only has a dime out of every dollar used for research.

PETA is a bunch of blow hard tree-huggin' asshats. Most of the hunters/fishers/outdoor friends i have do 100X more to help the environment and wildlife than some kid that wants to protest a cannery or stand around with a picket.

Based on what I have seen and read PETA has lost their way IMO. They started out trying to protect abused animals and took it to the extreme. There definition of abused has changed drastically. Hell my dogs are abused according to PETA standards. I agree 100% in that animals should not be abused. I think the biggest argument and issue I have with PETA is their definition of abuse, the value they put on an animals life and the way they try to tell me how to live my life. The protests are another thing all together. Throwing ink on a women wearing a fur coat? Give me a break. Wearing fur and eating meat is a choice. If it is not your choice then I have no issue with you trying to get me to see it your way. Commit assault, destroy my property or get in my way and I will deal with you the way I see fit. Tell me I am a monster because I like leather shows and we are good. Try to snatch them off of my feet and that is assault.

"Dogs were not put on the earth to pose, prance, sit, point, and have their coats shampooed. They were created to chew shoes, bark at cars, have accidents on the rug and get their tummies scratched."
-Roger Ebert

I can't imagine that this guy owns a dog. If so then I would not want to go to his house. His disobedient, stinking ass, floor shitting on dog would get no tummy scratch from me. I am a firm believer that dogs are pack animals and if you do not lead them they will lead you. If it is a 7lb yipper then you may end up with a nasty little bite on your finger. If it is a 150lb chessie then you may end up dead. Dogs need discipline just like kids do.

5 links on PETA's home page entitled "Why animal rights?"

Animals Are Not Ours to Eat
Animals Are Not Ours to Wear
Animals Are Not Ours to Experiment On
Animals Are Not Ours to Use for Entertainment
Animals Are Not Ours to Abuse in Any Way

The way I see it you have to either for or against something. I eat meat, I wear lether shoes, animal testing saves human life in some cases, I enjoy watching my dogs work and I can guarantee you they enjoy working and "Abuse" has been blown way out of context.

I do not hate PETA but I also do not support them. I do not dislike any of their members so long as they conduct themselves in a civil manner. I just do not think in the same manner and do not want to be pestered by nonsense.

I also have an issue with sitting on the fence. If you are bought into the PETA stuff then be a man like SJT and own it. Follow all of it to the letter. Do not say eating meat is bad and then wear leather shoes. Do not agree that glue traps are bad but in turn wear makeup made from animal products. Do not protest animal testing but then accept a pig valve when your heart takes a shit. Own it straight up 100%.

Nuck

oh, the wrath that will unfold.

I'm going to have to go look up some stuff...get some ammo for the fight.

but.....for those who say shelters only euthanize because they are too lazy to find homes or funding for care......come on. How many dogs are you going to adopt? And that even assumes all animals are adoptable, healthy, non-violent, etc.

Blaming it on the past, or thinking that such blame can be used to justify the PRESENT or CURRENT ISSUES, or to criticize the few solutions if any that are available.....

that's just as sad as saying "well bush did it" for every problem that comes up for the next 8 years. Typical...but still sad. Whoever is in charge is always going to be fixing the problems, and enjoying the benefits, of whoever preceded them.

IF we have a stray, or pet overpopulation problem...WHY that problem exists because of PAST ISSUES should be addressed for the purpose of preventing FUTURE problems from getting worse, or existing at all. Neutering/castration programs, maybe even pet "licensing" like gun laws. Maybe even enforcing the existing laws about animal abuse? All sorts of shit can be done.

But what you going to do with the CURRENT piles of dogs and cats? You can't "excuse" your way out of the current issue at hand, blame it on anyone, or pass it onto anyone. If we're going to talk about what to do with a bunch of unwanted animals....how they got there is irrelevant. That's for preventative programs that should and are being supported.

Still have that pile of unwanted dogs.

Let them all go wild? Like Europe and China? Yeah, that's a great public health idea....

Count on people's charitable donations and morality to step up and adopt/fund their care? .............what planet are you living on?

Have the government step in and start subsidizing PETA and other "we care" organizations? PETA won't take that money since it conflicts their interests. And, teh government has the interests of the tax payers to address as well. WHy should taxpayers have to be forced to subsidize the welfare of other people's irresponsibility?

Medicare anyone?

sjt's going to come in here and stomp some fuckers.

I have 2 mutts, the first is from Townlake in Austin, a shelter/kill shelter whom nobody wanted because she's not a "puppy" that o so many people want. She actually "had" an owner but then the owner simply gaver her away after 6 years because his new house/apartment didn't except animals. To top it all off, it is obvious that he beat the living shit out of her. Townlake was going to kill her within a day after we found her so we took her home.

The second we rescued/stole from the owner because they refused to take care of it. We counted 200 ticks off of this 3 lb puppy and took him home.

I wonder how PETA would view me deciding to run down some Zebras last night in Far Cry for the heck of it.

Oh, and i think PETA may have heard us bitching, http://blog.peta.org/archives/2009/0...e_euthaniz.php

EDIT: The second link has some pretty heartbreaking pictures if you love dogs/cats. Just a warning.

the girl in the call of duty one, my first thought was "a High school senior at 19? maybe she should start studying more and stop whining about a fictional world"

but i'd love to see what they had to say about Postal 2, in which you could attach cats to a shotgun or machine gun

**Red_Lizard2** · 03-30-09, 07:07 PM

another PETA going all wacko

http://blog.peta.org/archives/2008/1...mama_kills.php

Wouldn't they be against their own game though since it shows you how to kill and gut an animal? how does that work? is it "Oh its okay because its OUR message"

I usually don't go around talking crap about PETA because i really don't care, but when they start pushing agendas on video games its a little annoying especially since they bullshit it trying to make the developer look like the new Hitler.

and another

the celebs, and deducted points for any shoppers hit with snowballs.

If you get enough points, you go to level #2 where the video game has Charleton Heston and Colonel Sanders coming out of their graves vs 2 little kids. The lack of sensitivity and good taste is not surprising when it comes to PETA. But, using Charleton Heston and Colonel Sanders and asking people to put them back in their graves is just disgraceful. If you manage to get past level 2. Level #3 of Palin vs PETA pits horse trainer Larry Jones and Eight Belles' Jocky. They pit these 2 against elves.

Ah, then you get to level #4 of Palin vs PETA and its Gov. Palin clad in bikini and fur coat against poor little old Rudolph. Oh the horror of it all. And, the final page has Rudolph trouncing on Palin's head with blood on the snow for effect. It's lame folks..just lame.
