Do you think my animal rights protests are making a difference?

Question

At our last protest, it was just me and 2 other people out there holding the signs at McDonalds as people drive bye beeping their horns and giving us the finger. I just feel so discouraged sometimes. I just don't know if I can go on anymore. I want all this killing to stop. I am just so upset right now, my hands are shaking from all the stress in my life. I just can't take this anymore.

mamamoon, I think your relatives said it best, when they said, "your home is disgusting, your children are illiterate and your wife is PURE white trash."

thanks Kelsey, I appreciate the words of encouragement

Thanks Sandra, I hope you go veg.

Answer 1

don't you ever get tired of pretending to be something you're not? Yaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn!

Well **** at least you have a good memory! I have to give you one for that!

But for real now you come on here and pretend to be a vegan then post how you fooled all the stupid vegans. Doesn't this get boring to you too after a while??

Isn't it time to try a new one. You could pretend to be a parent and go over to the parent section......or have you done that already?

Answer 2

Ashley dear you are making a huge difference. Every time I read one of your rants / questions I howl with laughter and as we all know, laughter is the best medicine.
If you mean with regard to saving animals, well given that you spend most of your time on here posting rubbish and when you do go out into the world you can only find 2 other people to join you (one of which is probably your guff loving boyfriend who is probably under threat of a sex ban if he doesnt come along), no I dont think you are making a difference in the way that you want to. In fact if you were protesting outside my local McDonalds, even tho I dont usually go in there I would make a special exception, just for you, and go and buy the biggest burger they sell and eat it, sat in the window smiling winking and waving at you as I did so.
Merry Christmas

Answer 3

I do not want to offend you in any way, but I will try to answer this question form my opinion. I am all for animal rights as far as not being tortured, or treated un fairly, but I do not think that people will ever stop eating meat. I myself an usually grossed out by eating meat, but I am not a full vegatarian. I would say... Keep fighting if that is what you believe, but good luck, this world was raised on eating meat.

Answer 4

So protesting to the public that you do not want to eat meat and that everyone else is supposed to agree with you. You live in a sad state of affairs. Get on with your life, trying to be a protester is ruining your health. Eat your tofu or whatever you decide in peace and leave everyone else alone. I do not protest in front of the grocery store to do away with the animal rights groups, so why dont you leave me alone and quit your protesting. You are not going to save the world by doing this. Animals, the same as humans will be born, live a life and die. As we are born with knowledge and ability to think, we can use this knowledge to better our world, with foods and medicines from plants and animals.

Answer 5

I suppose it depends for whos benefit you are protesting! Certainly not for the animals. If we didn't eat meat, do you think we'd just leave the cows, pigs and sheep etc to live wild? and do you think that would benefit them? No we'd have to kill them to use the land to grow enough veggies to feed the billions who populate the earth! You belong to a species that kills it's own kind try getting them to stop that killing first, at least the ones on whos behalf you are protesting will have the awareness to thank you for it!
If you really believed in your cause you'd welcome the beeps etc. Afterall it means they've at least noticed you are there protesting! If you get stressed then it's obvious you care more about what other people think of you than your cause!

Answer 6

sorry but no. youre dealing with one of the biggest chains in the world here. McDonald's restaurants are found in 120 countries and territories around the world and serve nearly 54 million customers each day. one person, will not, not, NOT make a difference in that kind of global domination.

Answer 7

Still makes me wonder why you allegedly picket McDonalds (never seen you outside it yet, and I know the branch you purport to).

They were the first chain to introduce the veggi burger, so at least they are making an effort.

Answer 8

No, I don't think protesting on the streets makes any difference. I don't know how old you are, but I'm guessing not very old. I think you should focus on yourself first. Don't stress out over something that you have no control over. Take a break, take care of yourself, and don't worry about what others are doing. Then, once you feel good again, you can start these things.

Answer 9

yeah, well if I saw you anywhere, I'd honk and give you the finger too.

to those of you that don't know: Ashley is a TROLL and likes to insult other members on a regular basis (just look in the additional details on this question where she is insulting mamamoon)...she pulls this kind of thing all the time

Answer 10

well it is like this people eat what hey want to eat and mcdonalds serves soy patty burgers and just the chicken is real meat you should be out side a jack in the box. but look at it like this would you want them out side your vegie grocery
store with raw steaks on a plate telling you to eat meat, just leave them alone and they will leave you alone too

Answer 11

Give up!!! Mcdonald's is doing something right they have been around a long time. All God's people eat meat. Thats what they did way back in the Bible days and they do it to this day. Pick up another hobby go watch tv live your life I am officially setting you free I am going to eat meat and lots of it give up now you are fighting a losing battle so just who gives a rats *** who eats what why do you care? If you don't want the killing of animals to happen ok wait until we get over run with deer and they are everywhere they really are like pests. You anti hunters don't understand. What would happen if major cities had an over population of wild animals? What would you do then? Run into them with your car cuz they have nowhere else to go. They are running out of food as it is so they would be going into the cities and causing a nuisance on the roads as if there isn't enough already causing problems on major roadways. Go worry about your life not the life of animals (Which is God's way for us to hunt!) Do bears think about us when they are attacking us? NO THEY DON'T GIVE A RATS *** so why should you? Seriously! Do sharks think like "Oh don't kill the humans!" No they freaking eat people so whatever, it is all about the food chain we are on top of it unless we are in the water then anything goes I guess in the ocean. Raccoons freaking attack people and give people rabies so one less raccoon in the world is not gonna cause me stress and give me shakes one less deer in the world is not gonna give me shakes and cause me stress either. Deer meat is very good you really don't know what you are missing Grow up and get a life and go grill something. and no your animal rights protests only piss people off and they are doing no good..
