I'm with Purple here, I don't argee with the group, and I find the phrase "People Eat Tasty Animals" funny. I just don't get the hate, I mean its not like their evil or anything, they just have some extremist veiws and they know how to put them out there.
So, how about that PETA, huh?

I have read enough and seen enough by PETA to realise that if you support them you probably don't know what your supporting. They are not about protecting animals, i would love to protect animals from suffering, but protecting animals is not a main focus of them.
They are ALL extremists. They spend millions on there messages, which are executed terribly!.I have watched all there ads and it hasn't made me intrested in there cuase atall, they are spending all this money on SHIT adverts and messages then they start KILLING all of the animals they get in "there care" if you could call it care, becuase they wasted all there money.
I have met a few people involved with PETA and they (like said by someone earlier) have the worst ideas i have ever heard. They are complete idiots, people who shout abuse at them and make life hard for them are doing gods work, becuase atleast thats helping get them shut down. Don't support extremists which are trying, unkowingly, to make the world worse. Support the ASPCA and RSPCA and other similar organisations who FOCUS on protecting animals from cruelty. They actually HELP animals, instead of just forcing opinions on people whilst the animals in their care die.

As someone who works in animal welfare, I've gotta say that the majority of people from PETA shit me to tears. They don't help in any way, but they're really really good at making nonsensical statements and making it far more difficult for those of us in legitimate AW organisations to do our jobs.
It seems that for every 1 person in the organisation who has some actual knowledge, and ability to effect worthwhile change is drowned out by the 30 whacked-out wingnuts who need to get their mouths off the bong, shut the hell up, and stop f@#$ing screwing stuff up for the people who are actually trying to imporve the welfare and treatment of animals.
Also, using people like pamela anderson to storm kfc proclaiming that it's cruelty is a little ridiculous, when said mobile inflatable sex doll owns and runs a rather disgusting burger joint (i've seen pics of the "food") that doesn't sell tofu burgers.

The dancing bear may be tame for gypsies, I haven't heard much about that, but I know in China they used to have these hotplate ones. I'm not sure now, but places like Kazakstan (sorry for the spelling) still do.lacktheknack said:
And there are some circuses that opperate pretty okay. Some still hit their animals and lock them in cages. A lot of the animals have a lot of probalems with the living conidtions and being carted around places.
Again, the game is a parody. It wasn't meant to be taken as serious as everyone here did.Teh Ty said:
I am not going to lie I don't like PETA. Majority of the people who work for them are as annoying as the Jehovah's witnesses that come to your door. I do believe in some of their issues. Cruelty to animals is bad. Testing on them is bad. I do belive it is alright to wear fur if you trapped/hunted the animal and skinned it yourself. I aslo think it is just fine to eat meat. And I will never call a fish a seakitten.
So you don't like their ads then? That's a matter of opinion. As for the animals killed, please read the rest of the comments. It's already been discussed.Grifmik said:
Basically, yeah. It's the point of joining a group like theirs.Snowalker said:
PETA made me jobless, lazy, addicted to video games, etc. Also, they are to blame for me starting to find Hannah Montana songs catchy.
Seriously, though. At least PETA are doing SOMETHING. So many people say shit like "man, it must suck to be starving. I should help starving people." Then they proceed to spend the rest of the day scratching their own bum while eating cheetos.
Then there are people who do something that is considered "acceptable" by the mass majority. Unfortunately, these methods are usually so slow and ineffective that it doesn't help at all.
Then there is PETA, who use quick methods that people actually pay attention to, and for this they should be congradulated.
However, they need to leave Cooking Mama the fuck alone.

I love how everyone is claiming that P.E.T.A. are "extremists" sure some things go a little bit over the top but overall they are doing good for animals, some people seriously mistreat animals and P.E.T.A. are trying to help them. Its not a bad thing at all, Seal Clubbing why the fuck not do it at least humanely by shooting them.
P.E.T.A. do stand for a good cause, sometimes they are just a bit misunderstood.

PETA are interested in downright unreasonable goals. Even if they do not expressively go after meat, it's only because they realize how many supporters they would lose. However, given that there attitude is to treat every animal as having equal rights to humans, they have to be against meat, or else they are downright inconsistent in there views. One might argue that even if they are extremist, they will fail in there wilder goals, and still succeed in doing some good for animal rights. However, I cannot name a single force which makes people think more negatively of animal rights. Plenty of perfectly reasonable people interested in legitimately protecting animal rights have their capacity to do so greatly decreased because they become associated with PETA. For every 1 person who gently catches a fly and places it outside, there are 20 who don't boycott a puppy mill, or don't speak out against slaughterhouse conditions, because they are afraid that they will be lumped in with PETA. I know that I would speak out against, say, inhumane conditions in the meat industry, if it weren't for the fear of being associated with those nut jobs, and even when I do speak out against some form of animal cruelty, it's usually amidst a slew of people who would join me if they weren't too busy slamming PETA and being thankful that they lost another battle.
To put it another way: Ever notice how jokes about Seal Clubbing are a lot more acceptable in conversations related to PETA? That's because people know there crazy, and assume immediately that any position on the opposite side, away from PETA, is the right position to have.

No. They. Do. Not.Zenode said:
Not at all. They do not stand for a good cause.
They directly fund homegrown terrorism.
They have an animal euthanasia rate of over 70% yearly.
They openly support violent acts and protests (not peaceful).
There is nothing good about these people. At all. They do not want people to treat animals nicely. They don't want people to do ANYTHING to animals. They don't want them to help them if they are hurt, feed them if they are hungry, be near them if the animal wants them near, any pets at all, nadda. They are a vile and despicable organization. Nothing is good about them.
They aren't for the ethical treatment of animals.
I think you started making stuff up.Credge said:
No pets? No feeding animals? Already people like you have contridicted yourselves. Another person here got upset because they were feeding animals thus upset the balance of the ecosystem.
Plus, leave your hate at the door and only answer with facts and not make-believe.
I hounestly thought you had a great post for your first one. Now I find out your humour was real. Gah.Delicious said:
Well, what can they do? Give me another option. Please. Then I'll go tell them and they'll slap their foreheads for not thinking of it before. Why not argue that pounds kill animals each year? PETA are basically the same. It's not inhumane. Go talk to a vet about this sort of stuff. It's better to do that this way.
Please leave if you have nothing to contribute but hate.Sir_Charles_Puffybottom said:
They bought an abandoned prison building (which was trying to be purchased by a group who would use it for a homeless shelter) and turned it into a Lobster Sanctuary, a museum all about how we torture lobsters. Fuck those guys.
They're over the top extremists. Simple as that. I treat them the same way I treat any extremist group. It's easy for them to say "Oh yeah we were just kidding." after everyone goes "WTF you guys are nut jobs". They rely on shock value and telling you that anything you do that treats an animal as slightly inferior to a human makes you the anti-Christ (Cooking Mama. need I say more?).
They practically beg anyone who isn't willing to throw them self in front of a bullet for a frog to hate them. In short, they're hurting their cause more than helping it. They give the simple response "I'm all for preventing animal suffering, but I'm not gonna run around naked in cow hoods, because I'm not a god damn psychopath." to anyone who isn't willing to do much about it.
The individuals are often perfectly reasonable people (although not always...), the organization simply has no understanding of how to convince people to join a cause. Telling them they may as well be murdering hundreds of people instead of eating that cheeseburger isn't a good tactic. Bombing animal testing facilities isn't either.
People love animals. They love not appearing bat shit bonkers more though.

Why? A lot of people still don't know how lobsters are cooked. It is horrible.CoziestPigeon said:
I agree with you.lacktheknack said:
I was walking around with a some food i just bought and some chick comes up to me and yells about how bad i am for eating animals. I offered her my sandwich. She got all mad and walked away.
