is peta2 a real thing or is it telling you stuff so youll be a vegetarian?

Answer 1

The real stuff darling.

My cousin once visited a factory farm (she was picking up a friend), and said it was messy and a very cruel place. She said after that day, she became a vegan.

The videos show the cruelty, and it IS real.

Answer 2

Peta, and all it's affiliate sites like Peta2 and goVeg, are propaganda merchants. They run on the principal that any publicity is good publicity and will quite happily lie and spread untruths if i gets their point of view accross, which is their main aim.
Most of what is on their site is either exaggerated, embellished or a flat out lie.
Nothing Peta says can be regarded as truthful unless something similar is said on a more reputable site. Unfortunately Peta seems to be the main source of Veggie info these days. Even many vegans acknowledge Peta for what it is, a propaganda site which has links with animal terrorism.

These sites are almost as bad, but they do have some good points against Peta.

Answer 3

I don't know what the 2 part is about but I worked in a Marshalls in Boulder, CO and members from PETA would come to our store all the time to look for clothing with fur. We did not have control over what was shipped to us but our store management would always pull the fur to the back and not sell it. Of course there always was the threat that if we did sell the fur we would have a PETA protest on our hands.

Answer 4

Yes,most of it is true,but they do kill animals(dogs and cats).The kill them because they believe they can save more animals in the future by campaigning and making vegetarianism more known instead of spending money kepping and raising them.And about the Iam's dog food,PETA won the case,the judge ordered that they hand over the documents to PETA if they really didn't cause animal cruelty at their labs.They did,they had someone visit the labs undercover and Iam's response was that it had no control over what happened to those animals.the health info and everything about the animals is true,but I don't support PETA because they are a little extreme,they want to force people in vegetarianism,I feel the best way to get followers is to be a living,breathing example of veganism.

Answer 5

Everything's true. What do they gain telling lies? Read a little bit before you make such a judgement. There are videos and scientific studies that agree with all the info in PETA's website.

Answer 6

They are telling the truth. However their language, publicity, etc is incredibly antagonistic and therefore those that only hear the nasty news about meat from Peta tend to not believe them. It is also why they get so much bad press.

Answer 7

Its for real. What do they gain from you being a vegan? Its not like they get a commission for every person they "convert." They just want you to know the truth so you can live a more compassionate life.

Answer 8

They do use a lot of rhetoric, but the basis of everything that they say is essentially true. Really, they don't have anything to gain by you becoming vegetarian. It's not like you have to send them money to become one.

Answer 9

PETA is an organization full of extremists and zealots. I am vegan, but I won't have anything to do with PETA.

Answer 10

It's garbage.

And, they're telling you stuff so you'll be a vegan -- eating dairy and egg still means you're a horrible, horrible murderer, according to them, but for some reason, they're not able to be honest about the "vegan" part. I guess "vegetarian" is more socially acceptable.
