Peta question?

Question

"PETA believes that ... like you ... [animals] are capable of suffering and have an interest in leading their own lives; therefore, they are not ours to use — for food, clothing, entertainment, experimentation, or any other reason. — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal"

Now, my question is, what do they think about animals eating other animals for food?(food chain) Do they attempt to turn carnivorous animals into vegiterians as well?

Answer 1

Animals will be animals
We claim our own moral superiority... and how do we show it?
there's a difference in "nature" and what we do (the way we raise to kill, and feed them in a gross way for them to taste better... )
I do agree humanity is going too far, sometimes.
And wearing fur is... ugly and cruel

Answer 2

I love ASPCA. Support Peta if you are a vegan. I'm vegetarian but I would prefer to support ASPCA because they are more universal. Peta can be insulting to people, keep in mind that just because some of their statistics are far fetched does not mean that they are propaganda. Any organization stretches the facts in order to get attention. I support Peta's no fur campaign. When choosing a group to donate make sure to find out what your money is going to, that is the most important thing. ASPCA is best for non-vegans to support animals, Peta is sort of exclusive.

Answer 3

Dear friend,
First of all Thank you for bringing out the matter of PETA.

After that want to make clear that I am not a fanatic fan of animals.
But as a fundamental humanity values I don’t support any cruelty on animals & even plants.

For example:-
- I eat meat, but I will vote when ever asked, for better treatment of animals.

- I don’t let my family wear fur because they skin Alive animals to make that.

SUMMARY:
Fundamentally I am against of cruelty & abuse.

Answer 4

BELIEVE ME, If they had thought about it they WOULD.

They are caught in a mental conundrum. IF they say that animal on animal apetites are OK, but human to animal apetites are NOT, then they have effectively separated the two species.

If that is the case then it is survival of the fittest.

If the other situation is in fact their creed, "we are all in this boat together" and equal, then it would be improper (by their standards) for any animal to eat a human (done all the time by lions, tigers, and bears) .

Since their premise for us not eating the animals is based on our highly developed sense of fairness and civility, the reciprocity of the animals is not enforcable as no animal has developed such a self centered code of ethics, so what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

This TOO is an unacceptable premise of this group. If they could only define their ethical consideration for the animals to be one of humane treatment then they would not get in the way of others, but they do not understand a vbasic and fundamental difference between people and animals, we are aware of ourselves and our relationship to the environment that springs up around us. We can think about an issue and make plans to change the landscape. Animals and plants cannot.

Of the three life forms on this earth, I like to segregate them further into their relative mobility. A plant seed takes root ONLY if soil and water conditions permit. Once taken root, its' fate is set. It will live its life in THAT spot, good choice or bad. If an animal comes along and takes a liking to it, well....tough. It's lunch time for the bear.

And animal on the other hand is born into an environment and is equiped and trained to deal with the vagaries of that environment. If water or food becomes an issue of his survival, he can move along in search of greener pastures (sorry green plants, no pun intended).

But the human is unique in this regard to his place of birth. He has the ability to move in search of more food and other resources but he also has the ability (by social evolution) to PLAN for his survival. He can gather and STORE food for lean times. He can domesticate the animals and consume them at will. He can plan large co-ops of other humans to provide for water, shelter and food, thus negating the one method the animals use, movement or migration, to find more food.

Since we have developed such a keen ability to form and control our surroundings, the folks at PETA believe that we as a species, should aborgate our 5-8000 year heritage of agriculture and meat farming and go back to the hunter gather days of old.

They even do a funny mocking of this ritual by retreating to farmes and communes to practice such ancient techniques. The only problem is, during the night, large trucks bearing fresh milk, manufactured products from the local society, and batteries for their transistor radios and TV's drop off the clandestine supplies, making the world believe that they are truly self-sufficient.

It makes for good theater but they don't want to go for too long before coming back to civilization for the iPods and the lastest copy of The Whole Earth Cataloge.

Answer 5

ok the thing there is animals kill and eat animals yes buuut they don't torture eachothere. KFC boils chickens alive, SLAUGHTER HOUSES hang animals upsidedown and slits their throughts. EGG HOUSES chickens are in cages so small they will NEVER spread their wings. SLAUGHTER HOUSES feed pigs antibiodics so they live longer, which means one day carnivors will be imune to antibiodics. SLAUGHTER HOUSES have pigs in such small cages they stand on eachothere. WALMART pumps their animals with steroids if you move the packages of meat the right way you'll see green. This is what peta trys to tell people but I hate peta they kill animals.

Answer 6

animals will be what thety are susposed to be
yes it's normal to but we have sorces of other food to plus we don't want extinction
humans can actually control it thats why we can turn vegan/vegetarian ect.
I do not think animals should change there ways or us even
I don't eat meat but that doesn't mean I want everyone else to be like that
it's a big part of nutrition and a lot of people need the protien

Answer 7

I don't ever see animals attempting to turn carnivorous animals into vegiterians.

Answer 8

"ethical treatment of animal" treat them with respect like the native americans, kill what you eat and eat what you kill. dont overkill and stock them up in a freezer. dont abuse, torture, inject, or shove them in overcrowded pens and cages. do we honestly need a supermarket on every freakin corner!

Answer 9

im fairly certain they endorse vegetarian cat/dog food... so i guess they do as far as pets go... but i doubt they would go so far as to go to africa and force feed lions salads... that would be sweet tho a bunch of peta people being tossed around and devoured by lions offering them salad.... would make an exelent nature video or perhaps fox special when lions attack peta...
