"Feeding Kids Meat is Child Abuse"

[sleeky01]

This billboard campaign is just another in a list of things I really can't take seriously from PETA anymore. Not after their "wildly successful" sea Kitten campaign.

I'm not kidding:

PETA kills more animals than most kennels and pet establishments, you know.

really? I thought they loved their animals :s

http://www.newsweek.com/2008/04/27/peta-and-euthanasia.html

[tt]The organization has practiced euthanasia for years. Since 1998 PETA has killed more than 17,000 animals, nearly 85 percent of all those it has rescued.[/tt]

I now want to wish death on those human beings. Wait, what am I saying? PETA aren't human.

Er, but I think PETA is actually (for once) in the right on this one. There's simply too many animals to make "no-kill" a feasible goal.

There are "no-kill" shelters in my city. They're all FULL. Their locations are secret, in order to keep people from dropping animals on their doorsteps that they'd be forced to take to a shelter that DOES kill.

I am a raging carnivore likes the which PETA have never seen.

Good to see they've once again got people barking at the moon whenever they release a new ad campaign. You'd think people would eventually stop getting riled up whenever an organization that's done so little of actual significance pops up, and yet.. Oh hell, nevermind.

..Care to explain how?

In my state PETA pushed to have the Grey Hound dog tracks shut down saying that it would "save" the animals and they would go to good homes. Small problem with that. No one wanted the grey hounds and they were all euthanized. Through there shut down of a lot of places/boycotts it has actually become more cost effective to just kill the animals than to keep them alive until they get adopted. PETA LEADS to more animal deaths not necessarily doing it themselves.

Well that was roundabout to say the least. You'd make an excellent PETA spokesperson. *evil laugh*

Canines. Their job is to tear apart meat. Were we all vegetarian/vegan, they would have been lost.

 

[SilentCom]

This makes me facepalm hard. What will they say next? Animals eating other animals is animal abuse?

I think you'll all be wanting this page.

86% of animals in its care were slaughtered. Over 25,000 animals in 12 years.

From fur is murder to giving your child meat is abuse.

Oh, PETA, you just keep getting classier and classier. I suppose the next logical conclusion would be to invoke Godwin's Law and equate people who put their dogs in cages to Nazis and concentration camps.

I'm pretty sure they already did something similar. Something about equivocating the Holocaust and factory farms.

But yeah. PETA sucks. This isn't exactly breaking news.

I best let Penn & Teller explain:
(not sure exactly where they say it, it's been a while since I last saw it. Also, too busy listening to the Band of Brothers soundtrack)

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Then I'm one abused child.

Also, this.

and bacon and bacon and bacon and bacon and bacon and bacon.

free speech should take priority.

Free speech has limits. Putting out false or misleading information should always be stopped, the same way you can't stand up in a cinema and yell "Fire!"

but who's to say what's false? By what method is the government to determine the truth or falsity of a statement? Would every bit of false information have to go through something like a court process?

The reason you can't say "Fire!" in a cinema, is because it disrupts people from watching the movie, which is bad for business. The Cinema puts in that rule in order to prevent loss of business. However, this isn't a restriction of freedom of speech, because its the Cinema enforcing this rule, not the government.

Do they seriously think that any banner, no matter how big, will stop the Scottish from eating fried meats?

pff, if that works on any one I'd be surprised, but its good for a giggle while the stakes cook

 

[Laser Priest]

Ah, Peta, you desperately try to defeat nature because of some skewed moral code that you absolutely MUST shove upon everyone.

You're kind of like an evil cult.
