Here are a few things you should know about PETA:
PETA was criticized in 2005 when police discovered that over the course of a month, at least 80 animals had been euthanized and left in area dumpsters. Two PETA employees were seen approaching a dumpster in a van registered to PETA and leaving behind 18 dead animals; 13 more were found inside the van. The animals had been euthanized by the PETA employees immediately after taking them from shelters in Northampton and Bertie counties. The group said it began euthanizing animals in some rural North Carolina shelters after it found the shelters were killing animals in ways PETA considered inhumane. Police charged the two employees with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty and eight misdemeanor counts of illegal disposal of dead animals. They were acquitted in April 2008. PETA euthanized 1,946 companion animals in Virginia in 2005, out of 2,138 animals surrendered to them or picked up as strays. PETA is a part shareholder in YUM! Brands, the company that owns KFC. A quote from PETA President and Founder Ingrid Newkirk: "Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it." PETA is an animal rights organization. It rejects speciesism, and the idea that animals may be regarded as property. It therefore opposes the use of animals in any form: in animal testing, as food, entertainment, clothing, furniture, decoration, companionship for people, seeing eye dogs for the blind, or as working in any form such as shepherding sheep. PETA would like for all animals to be completely free from dependency on humans to survive. From July 1998 through December 2008, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed over 21,000 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals." That's more than five defenseless creatures every day. PETA has a walk-in freezer to store the dead bodies, and contracts with a Virginia Beach company to cremate them. Not counting the pets PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during the last five years. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no sign of changing. PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to Rodney Coronado, an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) serial arsonist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing memorandum, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich has also told an animal rights convention that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation,” adding, “Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it.” PETA frequently looks the other way when its celebrity spokespersons don’t practice what it preaches. As gossip bloggers and Hollywood journalists have noted, Pamela Anderson’s Dodge Viper (auctioned to benefit PETA) had a “luxurious leather interior”; Jenna Jameson was photographed fishing, slurping oysters, and wearing a leather jacket just weeks after launching an anti-leather campaign for PETA; Morrissey got an official “okay” from PETA after eating at a steakhouse; Dita von Teese has written about her love of furs and foie gras; Steve-O built a career out of abusing small animals on film; the officially “anti-fur” Eva Mendes often wears fur anyway; and Charlize Theron’s celebrated October 2007 Vogue cover shoot featured several suede garments. In 2008, “Baby Phat” designer Kimora Lee Simmons became a PETA spokesmodel despite working with fur and leather, after making a $20,000 donation to the animal rights group. Not to mention the fact that I am a hunter, so they can REALLY fuck off!

You don't care about those animals they euthanized. You're looking for excuses to hate a organization that devotes everything to animal rights. so what if they get a bit extreme sometimes. this a is a website filled with death and torture and you complain because these guys euthanize a few sick animals and do extreme things in the name of animal rights. i say power to them, if they are saving animals and pissing people like you off in the process.

They are against hunting! I am a hunter! Put 2 and 2 together. I don't believe that animals should be beaten and tortured and all that, and I think what Michael Vick did wrong, but Michael has served his time, hunting is a natural thing, fur keeps people warm, veggies suck and should be eaten sparingly! Listen to what the motorcity madman would say about it, I think he'd agree!

First of all, I wasn't complaining. I have perfectly logical reasons for getting bothered about PETA's lack of moral standards and lack of humanity among their loyal base. I am human, for example and care more about people than fucking rabbits and squirrels. You have a really stupid reasoning behind wanting to promote PETA> You shouldn't believe everyone holds human life to the same low standard that you do, simply b/c they see a few gore pictures on the internet... much less try to incorporate an opinion that a love of gore is more important than promoting a sense of general welfare for the human population. nd all that. I AM HUMAN. I'd recommend considering this viewpoint for yourself at some point. Now, if there were a danger of my skin being made into a fur coat, then I'd probably reconsider my stance. Secondly, if you wish to defend PETA I'd recommend distancing yourself from the idea that PETA is good for helping animals. PETA members don't give a fuck about animals as much as hate people. Peta feeds antihumanity. They simply don't like when cute furry animals are run over by farm equipment and feel grieved about the rapid depletion of biology in ocean life only after petting Shamu's testicles at sea world... but they have no wantingness to really examine their own sense of humanity... or can't. So they associate with potential fur coats more readily. No. Quote:
Getting in touch with one's humanity requires getting in touch with the nature of suffering. Seeing life for what it is, is suffering. While you may laugh at someone losing their life, this doesn't assume that everyone has the same blatant disregard for life that you have. For you to assume everyone else must love PETA and hate humanity simply b.c it provides more gore content to look at, is pretty stupid.
