PETA stinks. I am very much for animal rights and I don't eat meat and I can't stand them. They have absolutely no morals or ethics and don't do the animal rights movement any favours because any animal rights cause immediately gets thrown in with PETA.
-They have several campaigns that are very sexist and demean women
-They are moralising and obnoxious - if you're not vegan, they basically paint you as scum - which causes a backlash against the entire animal rights community and is the reason behind the "People Eating Tasty Animals" types.
-They aren't afraid of using pseudoscience and exaggeration to sell their cause - like the "milk causes autism" crap.
-They complain about stupid crap like Obama squishing a bug, and making anyone who isn't 100% vegan into some kind of kitten-eating Hitler zombie, which makes no one take them seriously when they bring up real issues of animal suffering.
There are plenty of good animal rights groups, shelters, no-kill shelters and vegetarian groups, that do their best to help animals without being rude, moralising and dishonest - those deserve respect, PETA deserves none.

that said, i sincerely hope they've been watching these last few posts. probably planning on making some horrible attempt to sue us :lol:

I'd love to see them try. Fortunately, I have a bit of a sanctuary with where I live from PETA. Wyoming is such a wonderful place in this aspect. Most everyone hunts and I have yet to be hounded anywhere in town over my meal choices.

Oh, and the scare tactics is yet another reason I am against them. I'd first help the ASPCA or Humane Society because they're not trying to choke us with their fear mongering.

been listening to 'people eating tasty animals' types for years. like i said, such hatred toward trying to help animals. have any of you seen a film of a dog being skinned while still alive and left to die a slow death? no, and you never will. "oooh, don't show me that" 5,000,000 animals killed in usa animal shelters each year. roughly 60% of all animals left at shelters. lots of people that peta hires are like you guys, couldn't care less about the non-human animals. it's a big group, and most resources go to fighting factory farms and fur industries, little money for background checks for hires 2000 miles from headquarters. those found skirting rules are fired quickly. gandhi was a man who thought all animals should be treated humanely.....think i'll go with his choices. the louie in the my name is a mixed breed dog who was used as a bait dog. that's a dog that animal fighters use to tease the fighting pit bulls. he was bitten over most of his head, one eye ripped, a shredded ear.............he now lives a comfortable life, healed and loved. i will protect him to the death. peta helps thousands of dogs like louie, even if it's to put them down to put them out of your misery. maybe this is a michael vick support group i've stumbled into. most postings sound like the things i've heard from dogfighters........

clearly you didnt read my post, so i'll spell it out it to you:

-i already know what kind of s*** happens to animals.
-i support animal rights
-i just dont like PETA's methods
-PETA is not the only animal rights group

clearly you plan to keep ignoring the point. i honestly cant stand people like you, you just cant argue with them because you can never have anything that meets the standards of 'conversation' with them. its just them talking to you, you could be saying any old crap and they'd say the same thing because they just DONT LISTEN.

spout whatever paranoid BS you want, i've done NOTHING wrong.

I don't get the big deal.

The poster is a bit stupid. I suppose it's no worse than PETA though in using 'shock' to deliver a message, rather than facts.

Where are the citations for PETA only using '1%' of its funds on animals? That's seems quite low, although bearing in mind that it's an animal rights awareness charity, not a shelter, it would make sense that a high proportion of funds goes on adverts.

I find the PETA campaigns hit and miss. Some are good, but there's enough stupid ones to do some serious damage to the organisation, and they don't do much to highlight what they have achieved (if anything).

As for the actress being called a hypocrite for driving a car with leather seats... firstly, leather is a byproduct of the dairy and meat industry, but more importantly, where on earth do you find cars with non-leather interiors? Seriously, I'd like to know!

If I wasn't such an easy target, I'd like to join ALF, I'd make all the other members look like saints and boyscouts since I have such a pathological hate of people.

right on punkycat. unfortunately, the fbi has wiped out alf, labeled them a domestic terrorist group and long prison sentences await anyone going to the wall to help the most tortured animals.

all you can do, really, is to act locally. maybe you can't put up with the humans you'll meet, but you can try. believe me, the reward of knowing you've helped a non-human animal is worth it. how about a ferret rescue group-they're america's answer to the meercat. the 'peta (ida, fs, lca, etc.) sucks' that you read here, it's just as bad in the real world. tis a shame. keep in your mind what ghandi said about animals.

It's not your fault. It was a good piece of satire, but when you title the thread, "PETA just sucks," it's almost an invitation for people who can spot the truth behind the joke, the people who flat out agree that they suck, and of course those who buy into PETA themselves, be it partially or wholeheartedly. No matter what either group says, they'll never meet eye to eye and it will cause a debate. I'm sorry that I went as far as I did, but I am very stubborn when people tell me that I don't research anything or that I don't know what I'm talking about. Probably a little more than I should be online.

...true but i didnt feel like calling it "funny, just for humor PETA pic". i probably could have thought up something more apropriate though. still, people would probably still take it seriously.
