What are your opinions on PETA???

Question

I believe that no animal should be beaten, neglected,or starved,But i also would like to keep my pets and my rights to hunt and go fishing and to eat meat.But what is your opinion about PETA,i don't care if you are with or against them but what do you think.

Answer 1

For the most part, they support the exact same things that most hunters do. The few pieces of garbage that give them a bad name are what ruins the org. Unfortunately, the same holds true for hunting in general. Most hunters are decent sorts....it's the few pieces of garbage that give the rest of us a bad name and give the PETA scum a reason to exist.

If there wasn't a scum layer floating on top of hunting, there wouldn't be a scum layer floating on top of PETA to counter it.

If one could somehow take all the worst PETA garbage and stick them into a very deep hole with the worst "hunter" garbage and let them eat each other to survive, the US and the sport of hunting would be better places.

Answer 2

People eating tasty animals? There are certain animals which need protected and PETA makes the animal's voice heard so something can be done before they reach the edge of extinction. However what frightens me, now that we have the abilityto cloan animals, I fear Governments will over look the fact certain animals are in need of management.

On the other hand, Here is SW PA White tail deer are so abundant. Many starve to death because hunters are not taking enough. PETA feels they should not take as many as they do. What is better for the animal? I believe we should manage the wild life, but I also do not believe it should be a money maker for the states either.

Answer 3

PeTA is a wonderful idea. In practice however, they go about achieving there goals in a horrible way. If they would use there support and member base to focus on changing laws and just drumming up publicity on whats going on they would make a lot more headway for there cause. I've always felt that if they were really serious about making changes they would have at least tried to set up re-education programs for fur trappers and hunters to learn a new way to provide for themselves and there families, rather than just creating more demand by ruining the garments of people who are willing to buy fur in the first place. What does throwing paint on a fur coat accomplish? Its vandalism for 1, it creates demand for 2, and has done nothing to change the way any animal is treated for 3. On the other hand, if they just had all there members writing letters to there politicians they might actually be able to get some laws changed and or passed. But there is not much news coverage for letter writing campaigns.

Answer 4

They miss the whole point.
Hunting manages the size of herds.
Without hunting, starvation, overbreeding, and roadkills occur.
With hunting a managed herd thrives and the animals are healthy.
Are we to assume then that :
PETA supports starving animals to death?
PETA wants animals to die on roads and be wasted?
PETA wants animals to produce young the enviornment cannot hope to support?
Well, no, they just love animals.
...BUT... they don't know HOW!
PETA is a misguided organization, comprised of shortsighted well-wishers, with no clue as to what the animals might actually benefit from. Their followers suffer from a diet of one sided informatrion which fails to include the less attractive parts of the truth.
Predators are absolutely necessary to ensure the security of any herd.
Man is the only predator of any consequence left in North America.
It's up to us to manage our herds.
Without our predation things will go badly for them.
Wildlife management is all about insuring there will be game here FOREVER.
If PETA had their misguided way, the populations would be devestated.
Education holds the key.
PETA people have big hearts,
They don't realize we love animals too, and want to protect them (just as they do).... BUT we do so with realistic management, carefull planning, and population control, - rather than with whining and blindness to the necesseties involved in such a task.
they just haven't seen the real picture.

Answer 5

PETA is classified as a terrorist organization by the government. I think they are a bunch of people who need to get a life, and quit worrying about who eats what, or what people wear. I don't agree with animals being beaten, neglected, or starved, either, but PETA needs to get a life. They say rodeo is bad, because it mistreats the animals. The animals aren't mistreated, at all. Most are treated like royalty during their off-time. They really need to do some more research before they start pointing fingers.

Answer 6

I think they have completely taken animals rights too far. I am come on I'm waiting on their plan to seperate carnivores from herbevores. I do agree with some of their views just not to the same extent. I have been a hunter all of my life and I am also an animal lover. I admit there are a few animals I cannot get myself to hunt, but It doesn't bother me that my husband does (Bears). I love the taste of wild meat and truthfully I believe hunting is a much nicer death than slaughter.
I just think PETA pushes their views way too far. If you want to support animals rights than support hunting, if we don't eat them something will, it's a part of nature that I hope is never taken from us.
I believe Peta People are just lacking in nutrition and have a slight chemical inbalance that causes them to have brain farts...EAT MEAT.....

Answer 7

PETA members from their home office in Norfolk Virginia have been charged by the police in North Carolina with breaking in an animal shelter, stealing over 100 dogs and cats, killing them, and throwing them in a dumpster. The cops even confiscated the PETA van that was used for the killings. The van had been set up as a killing room by PETA.
PETA is evil, in my opinion.

Answer 8

They are publicly for animal rights, but studies have shown no other organization has put more animals to "sleep", than PETA itself. PETA is strongly opposed to animal research labs, whose research has saved millions of human lives worldwide. PETA is neutral on the subject of using violence and terrorism is halt "animal abuse", and yet their star member, Rodney Coronado, has been convicted of firebombing a university research lab, and he still teaches middle school and high school classes on animal rights.

Click the link below to thatvideosite.com and watch the Penn & Teller BS show on PETA. It's a real eye-opener. Any members of PETA should watch it. I can't believe the insane views presented by their president. She is a dangerous radical who should be treated as any other terrorist.

Watch the Penn & Teller episode. Then come to your own conclusions.

Answer 9

The first description that comes to mind is, "conspicuous absence of credibility." When any organization is willing to take the extreme measures that PETA has, it will lose its credibility. PETA members have damaged their ability to reach anyone with their views because they've said and done so many outrageous things that no reasonable person believes them anymore.

Answer 10

When PETA realizes that hunting animals is ethical, then they will be OK. Any person with a brain who has witnessed nature's way of killing animals would agree on the ethics of hunting. Yes.. Mother nature will kill all animals sooner or later, they don't live forever.


Koko... ewwwwe... animals are little people... so bears, cougars, birds of prey and such are just cannibals... ewwe!!
