PETA is the kind of organization that is so hypocritical and full of shit that I'm surprised the governments of the world haven't shut them down for terrorist actions.
Personally, I have no problem with killing an animal. There are very many good reasons to kill animals, for their good or ours, and groups like PETA preach about the natural way for things, blinded to the fact that we ARE doing things the natural way.
Human kind is an omnivorous race, it is our nature to eat both flesh and plant. The fact that we raise cattle, pigs, chickens and other creatures simply for slaughter isn't unnatural, it's progress. We need to eat. Like any other creature, we are limited by our food supply, and could not be as plentiful on earth if we didn't think ahead. If foxes could catch enough rabbits beyond their immediate feeding needs, pen them up and breed them so they have a never-ending food supply, they would do it. Any animal would.
We don't torture the creatures we harvest, we don't eat them alive or surgically remove parts and then let the rest of the animal die. We kill them humanely and then make use of them as we see fit. If that's too cruel for PETA-Tards to handle, they should kill themselves because nothing they do will change this, and the more humans around, the more livestock we need. So if PETA members all cult-suicided it may save a dozen cows one year. Beyond that, lock the fuckers up because they're batshit insane.
