I'm a strict vegetarian and have tried to influence friends into becoming vegetarian through a few shocking videos and good points and succeeded, but I do think PETA can take it a bit far.

i wasn't going to say either of these things. i just find it interesting to hear people who support PETA wholeheartedly's views on keeping pets and have been ever since I found out that they were very against it.

I was a vegan for 3 years and then a vegetarian because I wasn't getting hardly any proper nutrition from my diet, and then I realised after a year of being a vegetarian that it was stupid to not eat meat but still bi-products, because as far as im concerned it's hypocritical, so I'm now one of those ****ing irritating people who doesn't eat meat regularly purely because the idea of it sickens me. I'm kinda OK if it's hidden and I don't think about it, but the idea of eating a slab of flesh from something that was once alive and died to be on my plate makes me feel genuinely sick.

if i'm eating at someone else's house i'll tell them I'm a vegetarian though, stops huge problems

what I cant understand is why SOME veggies insist on a veggie burger??
why do they want thier food looking like the stuff they object so much to?

Do they also ask fruit and veg sellers to cut up a colliflower into chicken leg shapes?

Personally, as a proud and happy meat eater I could never ever see the sense in asking for a fruit salad made up in such a way it looks like keebab, I'd expect the waiter to say "are you mad"?

Salads are nice but only if ever your meeting a rabbitt and a tortoise for lunch :tongue::laugh2:

hehe..
didn't they use to throw buckets of blood on fur covered fashionistas?.... covering a Paris Hilton wannabe skank with a powdered wheat product is letting her off lightly!
I'm all for big juicy steaks but killing endangered species for a nasty jacket that you saw at a Milan catwalk is pretty much deserving of some flour being thrown at you ...

I think when it comes to vegans there is no right or wrong answer. We're designed to be omnivores although we can sub either vegetation or meat with supplements and such. I don't think it's right for either side to try to influence each other, if someone takes protein supplements or eats tofu, deal with it if someone eats meat deal with it.

I think sometimes PETA is right in it's cause (for example animal testing cosmetics or the murder of endangered animals for clothes) but they turn themselves into a huge joke by throwing things at celebrities to grab headlines. Would you listen to someone trying to change your perspective on something after hearing they go around throwing animal blood at people? You wouldn't you'd think they were either extremely childish or somewhat deranged.

PETA's got a good message at times but they're ultimately a parody of the cause they strive for.

I support what PETA stand for and everything, but they really need to stop looking at everything in the media and then kicking up a fuss when they find something that remotely involves animals (I mean come on...they had a go a bloody Cooking Mama cause it involved cooking an animal!!!)

I was quite indifferent towards PETA until they petitioned for Ben & Jerry to use human milk to make the ice cream. Now I see them as tools for the most part.

spelled backwards it is Ate P

now what is that about, and is it even legal these days?
