It's groups like this that will make the future from Demolition Man come to pass.

 

[Lencho01]

So, shouldn't they go after any person/group of people who use animals to entertain people?

 

[John2000]

What a bunch of crazy people.

 

[Marx]

PETA must be in need of attention again.

 

[Immortalfire]

PETA must be in need of attention again.

That's what I was thinking. They caught on that still no one is talking about them.

 

[Duke]

What a bunch of whack jobs!!

 

[Mister J]

When Shamu was in Sea World land; Let my mammals go.

 

[enterthemadness]

PETA must be in need of attention again.

I want to see a monkey sling poo poo at PETA. PETA...they have a good heart, love animals, but their brain is idiotic.

I'd like to see a monkey bite someone from PETA.

 

[Superman 1265]

I'd like to see a monkey bite someone from PETA.

I would find it very ironic if a PETA member got maimed by a wild bear or a tiger.

 

[The Squirrel]

I'm surprised it's taken them this long.

 

[Manic]

Isn't PETA too busy euthanizing animals to throw around these accusations?

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Maybe there's a reason animals don't have human rights. I'm no expert, but maybe it's because they're not humans.

No way

They do.

*Ahem*

Needlessly euthanizing animals.

I'm going to half-agree with you here. Animal abuse is just as bad as abuse of humans, but I'm not expecting hippos to be able to vote anytime soon.



PETA is basically made up of a group of the most short-sighted, self-aggrandizing, publicity-obsessed poor excuses for animal lovers ever assembled.

I love animals, and I've made it my profession to help animals. This is a good thing, is it not? I'm not sure that every member of PETA (who is known for their "no use of animals by humans at all" stance) would agree, nor would they agree on my reasons for caring as much as I do.

You see, places like Sea World, and zoos, and circuses, and pet stores, and all that stuff that PETA tries to make out to be equivalent to the Holocaust, are the very reasons I care about and help animals. Being exposed to the variety in the animal kingdom at a young age and consistently throughout my life gave me reason to care about them, which in turn lead to me basically dedicating my life to helping non-human animals.

Sure, the conditions in many of these places haven't been all sunshine and hugs in history, but they're getting better, and THAT'S what should be focused on.

You want people to care about animals PETA? How about you pull your collective heads out of your asses and realize that if you force ALL the places that "use" animals to shut down, then future generations won't give a flying fox that the polar bears are going extinct. Stop patting yourselves on the back, give up the self-inflicted cross you're bearing and get off your asses and actually HELP. You can actually use your influence to enact real changes if you stopped chasing unattainable ideals.

I once said the PETA is to animal lovers as Al Qaeda is to Muslims (in the way that a small outspoken extremist group makes everyone look bad), I'd love for the organization to prove me wrong.

Needlessly euthanizing animals.

Thanks. That.

 

[SuperFerret]

Just sayin'.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

If PETA keeps up this craziness,Grodd the Gorilla will lead an army to fight them.

 

[chaseter]

PETA is stupid. In other news...

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Why isn't PETA trying to keep the widow of that nut in Ohio who released all those exotic animals before killing himself from getting the surviving animals back? It seems like whenever there's an issue that people would actually agree with PETA on, they give it little attention.

 

[Donut]

Maybe people should start accusing PETA of ****

 

[Schlosser85]

I half-agree with PETA here, although I think their language is over-the-top and melodramatic and that they are motivated by attention-seeking. I don't approve of animals with the intelligence of whales, who travel thousands of miles in their natural habitat, being kept in an enclosure which is absolutely miniscule in comparison and doing tricks for crowds. I think it's restrictive and degrading.

Also, ever pay attention to the bears at zoos? Any one I've ever seen was pacing back and forth endlessly. You don't have to be the bear whisperer to know an animal that spends its entire day endlessly pacing from one end of its enclosure to the other and back again is not happy. In fact, it's probably suffering from some form of insanity akin to a person being kept in an 8x10 cell for life.

I also remember the killer whale that killed itself trying to batter its way through the side of its enclosure to the open ocean...

I do think there is merit to what zoos do. Some endangered species are basically being kept in existence through the specimens who are living and breeding in zoos. Also, many animals born and bred in captivity wouldn't know how to survive in the wild, and releasing them wouldn't be right, at least not without a long period of acclimation. But capturing wild whales who roam thousands of miles through the open ocean and forcing them to spend the rest of their long lives in an enclosure that by comparison is absolutely pitifully tiny, is, IMO, cruel.

Fortunately I don't think the above situation happens much anymore.
