honestly it depends on the person, PETA has in the past done great things for animal rights. if you question that try looking up the living conditions of KFC's chickens pre-PETA involvement. the chickens were stuffed into tiny cages often unable to move, with there claws and beaks hacked off so they could not harm one another. but individuals flying the peta banner have set Leukemia research back years by breaking into one specific lab and "liberating" the mice there. mice specifically bred/ cloned over the coarse of several years to act like humans at least as far as leukemia is concerned, and could not live in a non-sterile environment. True, they game those mice cancer, but they also created the mice and took exceptional care of them so that their cancer was the only possible factor.
animal rights need to be recognized, but there just animals. support your local humane society, and leave the fanatics to PETA.
*not all PETA members are fanatics, but any reasonable person who cared about animal rights would do a better job by supporting almost any other animal rights organization*

I do not know what to say to that, other then 'OMFG WTF IS THIS SHIT!?'.
I like eating animals. So I dislike PeTA.
I'm eating a burger right now. Does that answer your question?
But seriously, I agree with the general goal of treating animals well, but they take it way, way, way too far. Seriously, criticizing Obama for swatting a fly?

On principle alone, I can see PETA's point, treat animals humanely. Don't abuse/rape/beat/drag-out-death etc. But where their argument falls apart is when they make shitty Cooking Mama clones, compare animal abuse to the Holocaust (Google it), and covertly supporting people who firebomb animal testing labs (take a look at their tax records, you'll find a few interesting names on it). And sorry to burst some peoples' bubbles, but, PETA pretty much is insane. There are other animal rights groups that are more rational and far less hypocritical (PETA calls any vet a monster if he euthanizes one dangerous/incurable animal, while PETA itself euthanizes more than 2/3 of the animals it takes in). And has anyone noticed that PETA never defends the ugly animals? You don't thing so? When was the last time you heard PETA yelling "Save the slug!", trust me, there are endangered species of slug out there. Another problem I have with PETA is that for all that they rail against using animal testing for medical research, some of PETA's head members actually rely on medicines like Insulin which were developed from animal testing. And PETA members, if you really want to stop animal testing, get off your asses, drive to your nearest laboratory, sign a waiver, and volunteer to be experimented on, you'd be saving hundreds of animals from the same tests.. after all, we would learn more about a drug/procedure if it were tested on human beings than on animals. Because animals can't tell us when something is going wrong or when it is working.
I've actually tasted breast milk. It's my mom's way of getting revenge after a silly fight when she was pregnant. It's really not that bad...but still I wouldn't take it over regular milk.Thaius said:
Idiots who uphold the lives of animals over those of humans.
A quick PR grasp for stupid hollywood starlets to pose nude for so that lesser minded people think that said starlets are deep and really into world affairs.
P.S.
Anyone who says that an animal can be "murdered" should be sentenced to a Judas Cradle indefinitely.

If you consider a non-human animal's well being to be of equal value as a human's (as PETA does) then the levels of animal abuse in the world are comparable to the Holocaust, in fact, comparable to 500 Holocausts.TheDoctor455 said:

There's nothing wrong with having a set of ideals. There is something wrong with taking your need to practice them too far and trying to enforce your view onto others through the use of violence or other extreme tactics. It's sad that they think the only way they can achieve something is by the methods they use.
