PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
 

What's your views on PETA?

To those who don't know PETA's a huge animal rights orginisation.

I personally don't like them, to me they come off as quite pathetic because of how they target celebrities and all comments they make are so bitchy. Like most recently they've started on Gwyneth Paltrow by saying that her kids wouldn't be proud of her for advertising fur. I think that's really low bringing anyone's children into it. To me they never seem to accomplish anything except annoying people with bitchy comments and pointless attacks on celebrities.

They may attempt to take up a noble cause but they cheapen their goals by acting so badly I think.

What's your opinion?

I think the good weights out the bad. They shouldn't bring someones children in an argument,thats just disrespectful. But besides that they were trying to save animals lives and educate people about animal cruelty.

I support them. I don't necessarily support their methods but I've donated quite a bit of money to them in the past.

I don't like PETA. Instead of talking about the issues, they just rally in celebrities and try to get as much press as they can.

I like this one :laugh:

See also here :whistle:

I agree with what they stand for, but I don't even slightly agree with the way that they go about getting their messages around

Any terrorist organisation no matter how small is just as bad as another PETA being no exception there leaders and members should be all locked away for as long as possible.

:sad:

What's your opinions on this group? For those who Don't know PETA is one of the biggest animals rights protester's group in the world. They usually use celebrities or target them in adverts and such.

I REALLY dislike them, their message gets lost in their methods i find. It annoys me when you see stories about them attacking a celebrity with flour (I.E Lindsay Lohan) It just makes me think 'why should we listen to you? When all you can do is immature pranks?'

I also dislike their use of celebrities and their bitchy nature, it makes them sound like schoolgirls.

I love animals don't get me wrong I've had loads of pets and have loved them all and I'm not against animal rights but PETA does nothing but cheapen the cause I find.

EDIT: Ignore this, I just realised I did this exact thread like 3 months ago. :puzzled:

Just merged the two together for you :thumbs:

:puzzled: "terrorist"? since when were they terrorists?

Give to the Humane Society. Peta are nothing but a terrorist organization.

In what way is Peta a terrorist organization?

Are you a vegan? If not, then:
1) You don't love animals.
2) You are against animal rights because you are doing things to cause cruelty to animals.

Yeh half them people just want to cause a riot! If you believe in something you should go about stating your case and debating it in a civilised manner! Not causing a stir that gets you nowhere

I love animals...with a few potatos veg and gravy:joker:

Would you rather us test on humans? I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a shot at living for a long time.

PETA will do psychical harm to people. They are an evil organization. The very least they will do to people is bomb them with flour sacks.

PETA is an amazing cause, but the people behind it are just idiots. I read Samantha Ronson's blog a couple of weeks ago about when Lindsay got floured, and what she said is completely true.

There cause is to protect animals yet they act like animals themselves to get this across?

Sorry ... again...,why are PETA a "terrorist organization"? Because they floured someone?.. and as they did it they "acted like an animal" .... WHAT?!?!

PS
over use the word "terrorist" and it starts to lose it's meaning.

Who are you to say whether I love animals or not? I love my dog but that means I can't because I eat meat? You don't know me so don't dare pass judgement on me.

do you have a pet?

*sigh* This old game again.

If I say yes, you'll say that I'm a hypocrite for thinking it's wrong to torture, confine, beat, abuse, and murder animals but okay to love them, feed them, and care for them.

If I say no, you'll say that I'm a hypocrite because if I truly loved animals myself I would have one, or that I can't understand what it's like to have one since I don't.

So, since it's clear I lose either way, I'm not going to answer. Just pick whichever answer is most convenient for you and make your point.

Tell me about it!

"Oh my God, someone put flour on Lindsay Lohan... oh my God it was because she wears fur... oh my God I bet they might be a Peta member! Peta therefore must be a terrorist organization!" :laugh2:

Your hilarious.
