Ugh..the vain in my forhead is going to explode. Its like talking to a brick wall. It doesn't matter what I say. I could start giving links and stories and all of that good stuff but it doesnt matter. Its a lost cause! Its like, if someone came up to one of us with a bunch of cannabis facts that were miconstrude we would argue, right? Sure but some people don't and or wont hear your side.
Animal Rights Uncompromised:
PETA's Tactics
PETA's aim is to stop animal suffering, and we use every available opportunity to reach people with our messages. Our gimmicks may sometimes seem silly, but they are vital if we are to reach the masses and initiate discussion, debate, questioning of the status quo, and, of course, action. The current situation is critical for billions of animals, and our goal is to make the public aware of the issuesâ??even if it means stripping for our "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" Campaign.
The fact is that in this tabloid era, the media usually do not consider the facts alone interesting enough to cover. Colorful and controversial gimmicks, howeverâ??such as jumping on stage at a fashion show to protest a designer's shameless promotion of furâ??consistently grab headlines, bringing the animal rights message to audiences around the country and often the world.
Experience has taught us that provocative and controversial campaigns make the difference between keeping important yet depressing subjects invisible and exposing them to the public.
PETA makes a point of offering something for all tastes-from the most conservative to the most radical and from the most outrageous to the most refined-and this approach has proved to be very successful. In the quarter-century since PETA was founded, it has grown into the largest animal rights group in the world, with more than 1.6 million members and supporters worldwide. PETA has achieved countless victories for animals as a result of both undercover investigations supported by careful documentation and a tireless pursuit of justice through the courts and through colorful demonstrations, stunts, and campaigns that drew international media coverage to previously hidden issues.
Rebgirl you should come to Norfolk. You would love our mindset and the fact that PETA is right in the middle of it. Their headquarters is a beautiful place actually. Amazing harbour view.Quote:

Or are you saying that dosnt represent most of the organization. If you pick the second one then I suggest you find another animals rights group because PETA is not accurately representing your opinions.Quote:

any one is free to answer btw............................................... ............
This debate is over. P Diddy owns Peta that is it.
The top people of PETA's words were misconstrude. That are not as extreme as some of the media wants you to believe. And if you think PETA is extreme, have fun with the other ones. Organizations like the ATF are NUTS, with a capital 'N'. Of course however I support our local anti-kill shelters and such.
Just for the record, I don't support PETA, I love my meat. We have canines for a reason. But I do know FIRST HAND that the negative reputation they have isn't worth the paper it's printed on. I've been to this place many times, I know tons of people that work there, I know how they do shit around there, I've helped them out with different things around the city quite a few times. You can't count on internet articles and youtube videos to give you straight facts. It's usually either miscontrued or it's those "extremists" that claim PETA. Unless you've been there in person and witnessed the way they run shit, you can't believe all the bullshit you hear. I've been there many times. I have witnessed. I know the truth.
I should be a journalist!:DQuote:

Well then I guess we will never be able to end this because you think that the facts were twisted and I don't. Neither of us will be able to prove the other one wrong.Quote:

...umm fuck PETA... im fine with the humane society i find them to be extreme as well but at least they arent assholes about it... PETA protesters are some of the rudest most ignorent and just all around nasty human beings i have encountered in my daily life here in LA... seriously (i have to see them at least once a year (mothers day) and unfortunately its often way more than that). I'm all for free speech but you dont have to get in my face, yell at me, or put your fucking filthy hands on me about issues that I honestly could give a fuck about... I'ma eat my veal, no i dont fucking care it is a baby cow... and no I fucking dont care it was raised chained up in a box either... It fucking tastes good... so please stop trying to hand me your retarded flier
lol unless someone also said this...
Ingrid once said she would not support a cure for AIDs if it came through animal testing... if someone wants ill go find the real quote (its not hard i wrote a nice speach on pro-animal testing a while back)
wow sorry if I was a little mean i was just remembering my run-ins with PETA and it made me a little angry
I remember seeing that in the past hour or so but idk if it was mentioned in the tread or notQuote:

lol ya i understand that not all PETA members are fuckin insane but god damn take a trip to Los Angeles... it seems as though the PETA members here need to learn that protesting is fine but harassing people is totally seperate and not ok...
also wtf only farm raised veal from now on? fuck that shit, its not as tender...
even worse though is the no foie gras rules that are setting in next year in Cali and are already in other states
ok peace ima go smoke
everybody in LA is crazy...
Fuck PETA and everything about it... I love hunting and fishing and any 'activists' who wish to waste their time trying to ruin that for me can go suck a muslim.. However, I am all for protecting the forest and trying to help out mother earth :thumbsup:PETA just takes it too far and flat out piss me off
Hmmm, poor Rebgirl's been trying to provide some well thought out arguments and facts.
But 420 hasn't bothered to express an original opinion, thankfully his trump card is some clips of Penn & Teller and South Park.
Hilarious.
A classic american debate, the type that completely avoids the point. Turns out we all lose I guess...
Some of the third graders I have come across, well, lets just say the pigs would have no trouble in winning an intelligence contest :)Quote:

I hate when people say things llike that...intelligaence of a 3rd grader? I don't doubt that they might be smart, but when they compare it to humans, it's utter bullshit.
I know of cases where a pig has gone into the owner's house and killed the owner's infant child that was in a crib. I've heard it at least once, but that's just instinct. They're not smart, they have a more developed instinct if anything, and even that I doubt.
Like I said, I don't care if the use a staple to poke its eyes and sand paper to rub the skin off while it's still alive...I really don't care. You may be an animal rights activist but I truly do not care in the least bit. if they skin animals alive, I don't care. if they stick animals in meet grinders feet first, I don't care. i've seen the videos, I've wittnessed animals being killed...it doesn't move me, it doesn't touch me.
Stop getting so dramatic. this is a serious issue to you, alright, but when 420 told you he saw it off your site you said oh no hun don't worry we just disagree...then you took a low-ass blow by telling him to poke fun at other things like your cancer and shit..that's pretty damn disrespectful. he wanted to spark a debate or inform others on his views because soemthign on your site reminded him....he wasn't personally attacking you, he said it himself...
Tone it down a bit will you?
I am also a member of PETA:People eating tasty animals. But seriously I don't like animal abuse, that is just wrong but eating them is too good, sorry.
I didn't read through all this yet so sorry if someone else gave the PETA acroynum.
Nope bass player, you're the first to give that interpretation of the acronym :)
theres a website dedicated to people eating tasty animalsQuote:

exactly...thats what i didnt really understand about the videos on the PETA website (the ones of the slaughter houses)...if the animals are going to die and become food anyway...why would it matter how they are being treated before their time comes?Quote:
