What The Hell is up with PETA?!
What The Hell is up with PETA?
Seriously. Why the hell would you not eat meat or shoot pests?
Answers:
Because we don't need to shoot you just because you are a pest.
is this a question or a statement? If you dont like them, then dont listen to them.
I belong to the other side of PETA...People who Eat Tasty Animals
most members have lived in the city so long they have no clue how normal people live or work. But because they have lots of money they influence laws. Its a minority trying to control the majority who have more sense than they do.
Well if you actually watch those videos where you see animals being mistreated and skinned, killed in the most brutal way then you might understand a bit better.
I have seen a lot of them and I really feel for the animals. I tried to become a vegetarian but I can't, I feel I haven't eaten anything if I don't eat meat. But if I could actually make a choice without dying in the process I would be vegetarian.
I'm not vegetarian, but trolling isn't cool, General. 8-\
Peta can seem a little hardcore, but its great having people out there working for a cause, something greater than the selfishness most people live there lives in. I could understand someone getting upset because there was a group out there causing damage to people and other living things, but how can someone like yourself not understand the basic principles of living a life of nonviolence? Open your eyes and see the pain and suffering of other living things that your lifestyle causes.
PETA is made up of a bunch of people who have nothing better to do than run around being total idiots. They are classified as a terrorist group by the govt, if that tells you anything. The like to throw paint on people who wear fur, and they actually treat animals worse than the people they are protesting against.
WHy would you do so? WHy would you kill anything for any reason? Why do you have a problem with someone not believing what you believe or making the choices that you make? Why would you think that you should or could make decisions for anyone else?
I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life, why should try to tell me how to live mine?
I won't question your need to eat meat, nor will I try to convince that my side is better than yours. I am vegetarian because I chose to be. It is healthier, there are no risks of tapeworms or other animal-passed diseases, and the animals are living and breathing things, like humans, and if we won't eat another human, there is no need to eat animals. But if you eat meat, it's okay too. It's all a matter of personal belief and though I've been vegetarian for over 12 years, I don't believe in PETA and groups that try to force their beliefs onto others.
They're lunatics.

Some choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is not OK to cause suffering for their own enjoyment. You may like meat, I did too, but any serious look at any reputable scientific data will show you that you don't NEED meat. Millions of vegetarians and vegans right now are perfectly healthy without it. Eating meat is choosing to place a higher value on your momentary pleasure than on the entire life of another being that is capable of feeling both pain and happiness. If you own pets, you know animals are quite aware of their environment - they can and do suffer keenly from neglect and harsh treatment, hallmarks of the meat industry.
As for the idea that PETA has no business "pushing" their beliefs on others, well, that doesn't make any sense at all. PETA was formed because they believe in the above. As such, for them to say "This is wrong, but it's OK if you want to do it," would be hyprocrisy and cowardliness and would totally remove any credibility from their organization's purpose.
I don't know you, but I'm assuming you think slavery is wrong - thankfully, most do. Now, I'm not suggesting eating meat is the same as owning slaves, but I find that this is an apt example: If you lived in a time and place where slavery was legal, but you were one of the compassionate few who knew it to be wrong, would you simply not buy slaves for yourself and leave it at that? Hopefully not! Hopefully, you'd be banging on the doors of everybody you knew (and didn't know) and shouting it from the mountain tops! Hopefully, you wouldn't give anybody who owned slaves a moment's rest!
People who think vegetarains and vegans should just "keep it to themselves" should remember that we're doing what we do because we honestly and sincerely believe that animal exploitation is wrong. If it's my belief that it's wrong for me to do it, then it's only logical that I think it's wrong for you to do it.
This is not like choosing a church, where some people will harass you because you're not of the "right" creed or sect. That's no one's business but yours, because it effects no one but you. Animal cruelty is, however, the business of others because other beings are being hurt. That's what makes it wrong. These beings - the animals- cannot stand up for themselves. Therefore, as in the slavery example, their defense must be left to the hands of those who can.
