What is it about us PETA members that pisses people off?!
I was in a yahoo group, not naming what group it was!. But these people were all over PETA members as me, because something about PETA talking about dogs not being pets which I never heard, and some other stuff!. So what is it that gets people all crazy about us!? We try to do good for the animals and get shot in the back for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I am also a member of PETA, but a lot of the stuff that the people at the top do as publicity stunts really pisses me off too!.
Yes, murdering an innocent animal and wearing it's skin is terrible, but PETA should be trying to get people on their side!. And throwing buckets of red paint on old lady's fur coats is certainly not getting people on their side!.
also, just a side not about the pet thing: PETA has said that ultimately, animals would have been better off if we humans had never bred them and taken them as pets!. Which is true!. But PETA also says that having pets is completely OK as long as you treat your pet as a near-equal!. Like you would treat your child that you love!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the extremism and fanatacism, plus the fact that they do not always take into account all the facts before taking action
then there is the fact that they try to force their opinions on the rest of the world- if they were a religious group they would be considered an extremist cult on a level with the Taliban
Many of the fur coats they attack happen to be family heirlooms- the animals in them were killed for a wearer several generations before the current one!. As a previous answerer mentioned they seek out the defenceless for their attacks, yet leave motorcycle club members who are heavy leather wearers alone!.
Another thing I find interesting is that PETA campains to end animal experimentation, and yet you hear nothing from them on the subject of people killing rodents with traps and bait in the home!. I have had experience in a laboratory enviroment where rodents were used for experimentation and those animals were pampered more than you could possibly believe and when one of them died it caused a great deal of trauma to the staff- if there was even the remotest possibility that they could die or be hurt in an experiment there was nearly 500 pages of paperwork to be filled out before it could be used for experimental purposes!.
While I am aware not all lab animals are treated like this, I know that the majority of them do not experience the cruelty portrayed by PETA and are in fact treated as treasured pets!.
And the animals that are killed in the home enviroment that are considered vermin are actually the same species that is used in the lab!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nothing against PETA members like yourself, but I guess it's their spokespeople who are sarcastic and radical and rather irritating!. Throwing paint on fur coats and other criminal behavior just generates hostility!. That commercial they made with the women doing provocative things with produce was completely degrading to women vegetarians!. I don't trust PETA to make wise decisions, and if I am going to join an organization that helps animals it will be the ASPCA!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Really sure you want the answer!?
PETA is full of nutcases!. One of my favorites is when they tried to pay to have the names of towns changed!. Towns like FIshkill, Ny and Harmburg, Pa!. How is that helping out animals!? Does the animal care!? No, it just offends someone's misplaced sensibilities!.
They also were for killing the seals to save the cod!. Huh!? Yeah real animal lovers there!. Let;s not forget the killing of animals instead of trying to find homes for them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What pisses me off about PETA is
1!. 96% of the animals they rescue they euthanize!. In my local humane society shelter, the only animals they kill are the rare ones that cannot be housepets!.
2!. They attack middle-aged and elderly women who wear fur, just because women are easy to assault!. You don't see them going after gays and bikers in leather!. ∠°)Www@FoodAQ@Com

the truth is peta kill some of the animals people give them
they have no other choice; it is better to put animals to sleep than let them suffer =[
peta are not trillionaires and cannot afford to look after every animal on the planet!. people who hate peta for what they do should realise that all the animals dying are OUR fault!. if WE looked after them properly, we would not have to give them to peta!!!!!!!!!
there are people in the world who HATE animal actvists and will look for any excuse to critise them and the charitiesWww@FoodAQ@Com

I am a vegan, and I like the idea of PETA, but!.!.
Some of the things they say, I don't agree with!. For instance, a spokesperson said all of the Michael Vicks dogs should have been put down!.!.!.I do not agree with that!.
They spent time and effort trying to get a school to change it's mascot's name to Sea Kittens or something!.!.!.
Sometimes I think they just want to be in the public eye, WHICH IS FINE, but not for nonsense!. Overall I support PETA!.!.!.but they should tone it down a bit and maybe go the Vegan Outreach route (www!.veganoutreach!.org) and try to be more informational!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think its because they have the wrong idea about veganism!. Animals DONT have the same rights as people, but the reason we should do it is because we still have the responsibility of being good stewards of God's creation, which means helping the animals!. also people care about the chickens but not the innocent babies being mutilated and massacred by the millions by abortion!? That just doesn't make sense to me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
they're silent murderers! they don't do actually anything to protect animals, they spend thousands of $$$$ getting celebrities to appear in campaigns, printing stickers and anti-kfc posters etc when its all money that could be better spent actually DOING something!.
PETA are just a bunch of posers, almost as sad as ALF!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would be dead without drugs and medical technology developed with animal testing which PETA wants to ban!. I don't like people that would see me dead to save some rats!. Especially when they refuse to kill themselves and their children rather than use the products of animal suffering!.
Anyone that suggests that drugs could be developed without animal testing is either ignorant or has no respect for human life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pretty simple: this is America where we have to right to our opinion!. Forcing your opinion on someone else to the point of harrassment, assault, and damaging property is out of line!. If I was a devout catholic and threw a cross at every person wearing a Star of David I'd go to jail!. I like meat, furs are sweet and I hunt and fish for food and sport!. I'll live my life and get a clue a live your own!. If any freak ever threw paint on me for wearing fur they better have a quicker draw than me, that's all I have to say about that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Because most of the people who support peta fall under these 2 categories, or both!.
1) Teenager (think stupid)
2) Naive (think stupid)
Peta has killed over 20,000 puppies and kittens since 1998, why would you support such a group!? go to petakillsanimals!.com to learn about the horrible atrocities committed by peta!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the way they express their opinions are just too extreme!.
like coming to runways and ruin the shows and throwing flour to people!.
i mean, im sure there are other ways to express your thoughts/opinions!.
people should be respected too, not just animals!.
if you want to help animals you could do it straight to the animals!.
like building shelters for animals, make hospitals or become a vet, etc!.
but ruining shows is really innapropriateWww@FoodAQ@Com

Well, lets see!. 1/3 is pornographic (most of it is PUBLICLY shown), which just pisses almost everyone off!. Because they show it to children, which could scar them for life, and has nothing to do with being vegan!. The worst part is that it actually works!. 5/9 is bloody and scary and creepy, again, scarring kids for life!. And then 1/9 is cute!. Awwwwwwwww!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I do support PETA in most cases, but I just wanted to reply to Angela Q in her first point!.!.!.
They euthanize the animals because they rescue far to many animals to look after and their thing is that they euthanize them because at least they wont be suffering nowWww@FoodAQ@Com

Because peta fights for stupid causes and wastes there money coming up with stupid slogans like "sea kittens" when it could go to expanding shelters or creating new programs to save animals!. I personally hate peta because they make everyone fighting for animal rights look crazy making animal rights harder to get!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Maybe because you care more about animals than humanoids!. But im not bothered by PETA at allWww@FoodAQ@Com
they are just so crazy!. They pester people and bother people!. Only making matters worse!. They use the wrong methods to convince people to go veg!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I hate PETA because they are sexist and racist!. They exploit women and in some cases men for their silly ads and and protests, they have made promotional material offensive to Jews and others in the holocaust as well as attacked Africans and African Americans with their anti circus stuff in the past!. Going into Black neighborhoods with flyers that say out of Africa into chains and showing a picture of slaves and elephants!. I also don't like them because they are more of a corporation than anything else and spends their time and money and silly frivolous things rather than really focusing on animal rights but more importantly animal liberation!. I don't agree with the right wing attacks on them but they do need serious criticism from real animal activists and others on the left and they need to realize that they need to apologize for their actions and figure a new strategy that makes them more active in a positive way and less hated by those on the left and more hated by those in and around the government!. I would rather see more grassroots oriented groups like those involved with shutting down HLS or some of the smaller fur protests in and around D!.C!. and other smaller animal rights activists and actions!.
I have had who friends worked for PETA and they hated it, they got treated badly and didn't like the internal dynamics so they either got fired or left!.
Though for getting people to become vegetarian I would say that PETA is a good stepping off point for that and maybe they should focus on that and less on other things and work towards a really positive community image!. I know that FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement) regularly goes out with free vegan food at protests and hands out nice lit!. and is very good and friendly and doesn't focus their time and energy on offensive campaigns that are trying too look like modern commercials/ads from mega corporations!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can make some people happy some of the time, but the rest of the time you're screwed!. If you learn to keep your opinions to yourself, you won't get lambasted like that!.
I put my opinions out there and get chewed another hole every time!. I just quit doing it!. What I love, what I eat and what I drive is my own and I don't need to share or need anyone elses' opinions to justify my actions!.
My dogs are not pets!. They are breeding material that I use, but I still think of them as my children!. They eat on the floor, but not always bagged dog food!. They are trained better than my daughter is!. Go Figure!.
I love animals, but still eat the domesticated kind as that's what they are bred for!. Human consumption!. I wouldn't have canine teeth if I wasn't meant to eat meat!.
I hate animals being mistreated!. Cats roam my neighborhood wild and procreate all the time!. Sometimes there are 30+ feral cats living in and about my house!. They tease my dogs and crap in my organic garden!. Makes you smile, don't it!?
I'm neither here nor there on animals, but I will continue to eat the domesticated versions that are bred for our consumption!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
