Does anybody else here hate PETA?!
Does anybody else here hate PETA?
I just do not like them because of how extreme they are. I mean it would be nice if animals were treated humanely during slaughtering and all but PETA is pushing it they want all testing on animals for medical research stopped. This would mean that possible cures for life threatening diseases might never be developed. What do you think i really want to know your opinion on this matter.
Answers:
Yes, which is why websites like these have sprung up:

Peta will never do anything good in the world, when they detest things like animal testing, which are proven to have saved many millions of lives, and will likely save millions more.
They said: http://www.consumerfreedom.com/advertise...
Screwed up buggers ain't they? AIDS kills millions of people, women and children every year; it is arguably the single more devastating illness in many parts of the world, including Africa. I'm sure you've seen the pictures on TV, but to Peta those people aren't as important as mere animals.

i dont hate them but i dont like what they stand for
There are extremists on every side of every agruement. The people of PETA mean well but they are a tad misguided in the way they handle their fight for the cause.
although i am a vegetarian.. i am not a big fan of PETA.. because of some of their more radical actions...
Doens't that stand for People Eating Tasty Animals.I'm all for that.
I agree, they are so exteme. I bieleve in conservation, but i'm not extreme. I love the earth, and all creatures though.
May a swarm of weasels with diarrhea invade PETA headquarters tonight.
I love animals, and I am all for being kind to all animals, but PETA's clearly insane.
I've always joked that they are so vicious, someone will need to start PETP "People for the ethical treatment of people".
I agree they are a bit intense, but really they've made great strides towards a more cruelty free world. I really think that if they weren't so extreme they wouldn't get the publicity and funding that they really need. If you care about the issues of animal cruelty, go to aavs.org. Here's their mission statement: "The mission of the American Anti-Vivisection Society is to unequivocally oppose and work to end experimentation on animals and to oppose all other forms of cruelty to animals." But instead of just pushing that idea without realizing the potential life saving effects that animal testing could have, they are diligently trying to find alternative ways to reach those same goals.
All PETA wants is for animals to be treated humanely. People still use cruel ways of handling animals anyway, so PETA is forced to use attention-gathering ways to tell us this, including comparing a grisly dismemberment murder to what goes on in slaughterhouses, having women go out naked saying "I'd rather go naked than wear fur.", interrupting Victoria's Secret's annual show because one of its models signed a contract with a fur company, and urging kids to drink beer instead of milk because it is not cruel to cows (that drew MADD's attention).
Perhaps if we did treat animals more humanely (that may mean getting off meat diets - a good thing for our health), PETA will stop their brash behavior.
Hate is too strong, but they are over the top.
PETA and NOW and Sierra Club and NAACP and a number of
other organizations are good examples of good ideas run amuk.
with time and over-zealous leaders..
It's not an animal's responsibility to cure human disease. Perhaps if we followed the natural order a bit more we wouldn't have accelerated the destruction of the planet with over population. I think our responsibility is as guardians to the planet and its inhabitants (at the risk of sounding trite!) Having said that PETA's extemist approach sullies the message
YAH.of course i hate them.They hunt down animals for their own amusements and test them with all these prducts.Thats totally cruel.
I don't know, animal research has helped us a lot but we also have to consider the poor animals...it's a difficult question and I don't hate PETA
I guess that i can't really say that i hate them it is more that i dislike them and don't agree with their views. I have grown up on a farm/ranch my whole life and think that we have to do what we do to animals. Also my mom died of Breast Cancer and i think that anything we can do to find a cure that would make it so that other people wouldn't have to suffer this fate then we should do it.
I am actually a vegetarian, but I believe you can take things too far. It's one thing to be concerned about animal rights, but it's another thing to bully americans about it. I would prefer to see animals live, or at least be killed somewhat-painfree for those who eat meat, but...
our world isnt perfect.
I think I would rather have lab rats be tested than watch my grandfather or another relative of some horrible disease. PETA has to put things into perspective. I agree with you on this matter.
i'm a member of PETA. i do agree that some peta members are a bit extreme in their ways of getting their message across. but PETA has good intentions. but, you have to admit, some of the protest ideas are very creative!!!
PEOPLE FOR THE EITHNICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS.
I pretty much agree with you. I agree with what they say, but I'm not going to be so extreme about it. They went to an Oscar Meyer wiener try outs and screamed at little children...how rude.
Vegan here and I can't stand PETA! I do know some nice members though.
PETA has done more to set-back animal protection measures than any single organization in recent history. Their radical, cult-like behavior borders on terrorist activity and effectively deters any sane person from getting involved in any form of animal protection for fear of being associated with these loons.
I'm a vegan but not a peta fan. aniaml testing should be stopped because animals and people are different. animals can't get some of the sicknesses we can get. just because they react one way to medication doesn't mean people will react the same way. Besides it's just not ethical, benifiting from anyones pain is wrong.
i love animals but PETA is too overboard. is it ok 2 see people die of hunger than eat an animal???? what about areas that have less vegetation? what do they eat? and r not plants "living" too???
"Does anybody else here hate PETA? "
- I don't hate them, yet I don't really like what they do either. They are not very good PR for animal rights.
"I just do not like them because of how extreme they are"
- Peta is not extreme. Anyone who thinks this obviously knows nothing of the animal rights movement.
" mean it would be nice if animals were treated humanely during slaughtering and all but PETA is pushing it they want all testing on animals for medical research stopped."
- I think it would be nice if no animals we slaughtered and I agree that animal testing should be stopped. Animal testing doesn't work.
"This would mean that possible cures for life threatening diseases might never be developed."
- Ummmm, no. Cures for major diseases are not found testing on animals. Research the history of this subject. Animal testing is doing more to retard medical progress then to advance it.
I think PETA's marketing strategies are a bit juvenile, but I like what they're doing. I don't think it's right to value human life (and the preservation of human life) over other animal life: I don't believe it's my place (or any other human's) to make that type of value judgement. I'm not at all supportive of vivisection/animal testing - especially for cosmetics (the nerve!). I agree with PETA's message - 'animals aren't ours to use', but I don't necessarily like their presentation of that message. So, in conclusion - I agree with PETA and I like what they're doing/fighting for - but I don't like how they put their message across. They are extreme - but they're trying not to be ... and it's kind of like they're selling out, for me ....
A majority of animal testing is nasty stuff like making animals OD on deodorant, household cleaners and pesticides. Animal testing for the most part is crap. Rats get cancer from cow milk protein and human breast milk. Should humans stop breast feeding based on that? Lab rats are albino, which is mutation. They are raised in cages which isn't a real rat environment. Would albino humans get cancer sooner than other people? Do humans live normal healthy life in prison? Rabbits who got petted in the lab lived longer than the ones who weren't in a study done where all other things were controlled. They had less cancer then the other bunnies in the study just because they were being cuddled.
The vast majority of human diseases are diet related. Really. 50% of Americans will die of a heart attack, which can be cured- not with drugs but by eating less packaged crap. We keep torturing animals to test drugs...so we don't have to stop eating...animals.
Cosmetic testing, and phschological testing of animals is very bad and should stop. Animal testing should be very, very limited. There is some horrible stuff that you don't know about. I don't agree with all PETA does, but somebody has to point out the stuff that's obviously wrong and can be changed.
