how much do people know about PETA?

Question

http://www.peta.org/disclaimer.asp

Answer 1

I know that they care more about animals than about the Millions of HUMEN having not enough to eat and the little children dying every second.
That's enough for me to know. I support organisations who help humen first. Afterwards we can help the animals.

Answer 2

More than enough to know that the group should not be in existance, I would even go as far as calling them a terrorist group, well, which is true, they have funded several bombings of animal labs. Really, Ingrid is the devil.

The thing that really gets me is when PETA targets our children, the bilboards (Mccruelity), the "unappy meals", and tons of other stuff, like anti-milk. They use fear to pursuade people to move to the darkside.

I have ran into local PETA activists, and the stuff they go on about is insane, the last thing I heard from a PETA rally was a push against dog pull toys, balls and etc. All claiming to be cruel to the animal. Where they got this idea still makes me wonder.

I have no issues with being against animal cruelty and trying to save animals, but set a limit people.

I have no issues with vegetarians either, actually a meat eating buddhist, makes no sense, haha. However, humans were designed to run around and try to kill things and run away from things trying to kill us, if we weren't suppose to eat meat, then how did so many different sects of humans, actually all of them across the world develop hunting?

Anyways, it is someones choice, and really, in my opinion, myself becoming a vegetarian isn't going to save one animal, because that New York Strip is just going to end up on someone elses plate. So, to justify it while being a Buddhist, by eating meat I am stopping the guy with who knows how many cario issues from having yet a second steak might just save his life and prevent a heart attack, so, I eat meat to save lives!:) At least that is my defense if it works or not, haha.

And on another note, lets say that PETA get there way, and no one harms an animal at all, hunting is abolished and everyone goes vegetarian, I really wonder how cities will deal with dear and cows and who knows what else running through the streets due to over population. We have hunting seasons for a reason, we changed the environment and now animal populations are able to explode, with no natural predators, it is our duty.

Oh well, just waiting for the day that PETA just starts slaughtering people at steak houses and burger joints, and feeding kids that had a hapy meal to some animal.

Answer 3

They steal hunting dogs.

Ingrid Newkirk has publicly stated that she wants a future with NO companion animals. No pets, no seeing eye dogs, etc.

Her vice president uses insulin made from pigs to stay alive, but is against animal testing.

They've actively fought against no kill shelters and organizations who assist feral cats. Apparently the only animals worth caring about are the vegetarian animals.

PETA has donated money to the more violent and dangerous animal rights groups.

Answer 4

2 words "hypocritical murderers" they go and kill as well as injure animals and people when all the really want is mo money mo money. 29 million dollars annually seems to shaped their agenda a little. If all PETA members were dead tomorrow I would not shed a tear. Puppy f***ers I hate em'

Answer 5

ill tell u what i do know.

PETA's Dirty Secret Hypocrisy is the mother of all credibility problems, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has it in spades. While loudly complaining about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, the group has its own dirty little secret. PETA kills animals. By the thousands. From July 1998 through the end of 2003, PETA killed over 10,000 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" -- at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That's more than five defenseless animals every day. Not counting the dogs and cats PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 85 percent of the animals it took in during 2003 alone. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no sign of changing.

On its 2002 federal income-tax return, PETA claimed a $9,370 write-off for a giant walk-in freezer, the kind most people use as a meat locker or for ice-cream storage. But animal-rights activists don't eat meat or dairy foods. So far, the group hasn't confirmed the obvious -- that it's using the appliance to store the bodies of its victims. In 2000, when the Associated Press first noted PETA's Kervorkian-esque tendencies, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk complained that actually taking care of animals costs more than killing them. "We could become a no-kill shelter immediately," she admitted. PETA kills animals. Because it has other financial priorities. PETA raked in nearly $29 million last year in income, much of it raised from pet owners who think their donations actually help animals. Instead, the group spends huge sums on programs equating people who eat chicken with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting children into the radical animal-rights lifestyle, and intimidating businessmen and their families in their own neighborhoods. PETA has also spent tens of thousands of dollars defending arsonists and other violent extremists. PETA claims it engages in outrageous media-seeking stunts "for the animals." But which animals? Carping about the value of future two-piece dinners while administering lethal injections to puppies and kittens isn't ethical. It's hypocritical -- with a death toll that PETA would protest if it weren't their own doing. PETA kills animals. And its leaders dare lecture the rest of us.

Answer 6

I know that they are labeled a terrorist group by the government, and that the people who are members have nothing better to do, or spend their money on. They are all a bunch of wackos.

Answer 7

There are two groups called PETA. One is a criminal terrorist group, the other group consists of People Eating Tasty Animals. I'm of the latter.

Answer 8

That they fund terrorist groups like ELF and that makes them terrorists by association. I know that they too kill animals and hypocritically attack others for the same thing.

Answer 9

Enough to know to stay away from them. What a bunch of wackos. The SPCA is a much more responsible and caring organization IMO.

Answer 10

Not much, only that it is an animal's rights group.

P.E.T.A.=People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

OR

P.E.T.A.=People who Eat Tasty Animals

LOL

Answer 11

It's very hard for me to answer that question. You see, I seem to have offended and hurt the feelings of some very "sensitive" hunters.So I was reported!!!! I had no idea that those big brave hunters were so sensitive.
As far as PETA goes,,, I'm all for treating animals good but they are also extreme at times.Like I've said before,If your starving hunt it and eat it!!!But don't call it SPORT!!! If your just a little hungry,I'll buy you a meal!!!
