As I said before PETA is a bottom feeder. If you need proff cheak out how much money they pull in to animal put down. Now look at any SPCA for the same thing.

I once protested PETA protesting at my university by eating a double bacon cheese burger in front of them.

It did't end well.

SOUnds like it ended excellently. mmm bacon burger.....

I got smacked with a sign that had a picture of a concentration camp next to a photo of caged chickens with the words saying "There is No difference"

I can think of several that'd earn me a spot in Hell for a good few thousand years if I said them.

Spend a day at my Uni.

It's super liberal heaven. I don't mind liberalism or even conservatism, but when it gets to the extreme that it did at my school it becomes painful.

Some of the things they protest and petition for is an embarrassment.

Anyone want to petition for slavery free made paper that the school buys?

Then there was the bright idea of free hug day where I felt like a victim in Jurassic Park 2, chased by raptors.

Sounds like the ideal place for some grade a troll moments.
Could have some fun there lol

This is literally obamacare for dogs.

The mosquitoes do not kill. The microbes carried by mosquitoes kill.
Well, as far as I know.
And the leading animal is causing human death is and has been for a long time… human themselves .

Mmm, I could argue, and for the hell of it, I will that the infections caused by mosquito bites kill (especially malaria) and that therefore the mosquitoes are the liable party.
Plus mosquitoes are fething annoying buggers who deserve to be abducted and killed by PETA.

I'll give you that humans are their own worst enemies though. Although a lot of people would object to being called an animal. (Not me though. I iz a clever monkee.)

Well, the plasmodium are the one causing malaria, the mosquito is just the unwilling messenger that brought the plasmodium to the victim.
Damn those plasmodium!

Please look at their website, and read what they say about themselves, the you will see the contradiction for yourself.

Now go look at what PETA actually does. Good luck reconciling their actions with their website (or even with a train of logic, cause PETA tends to dance back and force across a series of lines that when put together make a really confusing picture). Does the CIA 'officially' spy on Congress? Of course no, but we all know that's bs otherwise we wouldn't get an annual (at least once a decade) news story about the CIA spying on Congress.

If someone says something, then does something completely different, what they say is meaningless. Actions reveal far more about what is 'official' than words.

PETA didn't start as a crazy organisation.

The leadership of PETA has always been crazy. Go read some quotes from Ingrid Newkirk (EDIT: Or just read about her, she's bonkers in a lot of ways). It's like crazy in a can. But PETA was much more decentralized and grassroots back when it first started. Because of all the trouble with the ALF though (many local PETA chapters were finding double use as ALF Chapters), PETA made the decision to tighten up its organization and centralize and nearly all the local chapters were shut down. This cut off the indirect financial connections between ALF and PETA, but it also left those crazy leaders as the ones in charge of a no longer grass roots movement.

With no local chapters, the more moderate people within PETA who tended to be at those local chapters lost any ability to really communicate with the leadership, and the centralization of power meant that leadership could act more freely on a broader level.

By this logic, guns don't kill people, the bullets carried by guns do

And since bullets are the ones causing the death, that makes guns the "unwilling messenger"

This happened here in my hometown. It has caused a stir around here.

The SPCA is great. Non-kill, NFP. And they love volunteers too.

Those commercials though...

They're the ones behind those. Sorry. Have to hate them. Those animals, and that music... It might not be animal cruelty, but it sure as hell is cruelty to humans XD

By that logic, APC do not kill people, the soldier embarked in the APC kill people. Well, and the APC too, when it has weaponry, and/or when it just runs over people and stuff. That makes the APC a willing messenger of men and women that kills!

Spoiler:

Not anymore (at least I haven't seen it in awhile) but yeah. They were broadcast during commercials for a number of years... I used to like that song XD Now it's forever linked with sad looking animals and feelings of wondering "WHY?!"

Be thankful. It could remind you of chimpanzee with electrodes planted on an exposed brain, mouses voluntarily made to have huge tumor slowly killing them, horrors picture from battery abuse, all those making terrible sadface, and tons of other horrible images of horrors (and sometime gore too) that you would never be able to forget. Not before you watch the latest movie on Netflix, that is .

Sarah even ruins her own day!

Our vet does free charity work for Central Dachshund rescue (including free surgeries including back surgeries), and has a passel of his self admittedly fat wiener dogs. Go Doctor Beloy!!!

When I thought TBone was passing the first time(God gave us an extra year) he came in and cried with me. They still have a picture and plaque of TBone with "our dear friend" on the office. He gives Rusty the Mountain dog a big hug when we bring him in and calls him the family's honored protector. He's family to us.

Your daughter PETA come into my yard and kicked killed my dog.

Sometimes you get the concept of community spot on over there.

But then the animals you're addressing would never have existed, and their interests would not be relevant; at least assuming we dismiss reincarnation.

Look at their actions and you will realize that the first line is meaningless, its only a smoke screen for them to hide behind. And its working quite well on you.

PETA doesn't have the interests of the entirety of the animal right's movement at heart. PETA has its own vision of what the animal right's movement should be at heart, and what that vision happens to be is demonstrably extreme.

The strongest truth of the entire thread.

I was unaware that PETA's smokescreen was intended to draw mockery.
