PETA

PETA! Shut the **** up! No matter what you do people will always use animals! Give it up! Their just freaking animals!

"Don't use butter!" "Let's call fish 'sea-kittens'" "OMFG!! HE SQUISHED A FLY!!"

SHUT THE HELL UP! I'M TIRED OF HEARING ALL OF YOUR CRAP!

I can understand if it's something like dog-fighting, cock-fighting, or something completely inhumane, but the stupid **** like those things up there are just stupid and pointless things to argue about!

What I hate is that there are like, real humans who are in trouble. But, you know, let's spend some time and money saving cows.

Even that has a limit, you honestly can't protest someone forever.

Although I will say the dogfighting business is one of the few things they've done semi-correctly in ever. They're even taking that too far.

...I'm all for animal rights.

It's just PETA's practice that annoys me.

A lot of the animal rights causes I take up (such as circus animal abuse/dolphin abuse) are things that even people who hate PETA take up. I've read things like "I'm no animal rights activist, but these things need to stop" when they see elephants being beaten and shackled. -CSM

People who protect animals do not annoy me. Infact they're quite right on most things. But the stupid things that I listed in my first post are the things that annoy me.

Animal rights are alright with me. It's when people focus more on animals than humans that causes problems.

What irks me, though, is how only the cute animals are taken care of, though. A lot of species which are actually useful for human survival in the ecosphere get no air time at all.

Also, PETA is totally trolling the world right now. I mean, seriously now, I feel like a sucker even knowing they're still around doing crazy stuff.

Ah yes PETA, they tend to raise some valid pionts, then there are some of thier odder ideas. "We must teach carnivores to eat plants! Not only will we save the deer, we will also be making the wolves, lions, bears, ect into healthier happier beings!"

- You stupid dog!

PETA also believes all pets are slave animals who must be destroyed.

Unfortunately I lost my documentation for that, I should go find it again.

Also, they believe people only exist as food for animals.

lol i beleive in some things PETA is for. like. idk i think its cruel that in big corp's cows have no room to move and most get sick or die before even reaching the slaughter house.
PETA is trying to get something out their that can help fix things like that

But you are half right
THEY TAKE **** WAY TO FAR.

Its like, if theirs a way to **** something up, they'll do it twice.

They get sick because they are kept too clean. They don't develop immune systems and diseases tear through herds something fierce.

They will observe and cull a sick animal rather than let it be processed.

PETA is a zero-tolerance policy, which will always cause problems down the road.

I honestly think they could maybe step it down a bit. And they need a PETOTTAA: People for the Ethical Treatment of Other Things That Aren't Animals.

There would be no money in it, if this were true.

PETA is just another way of saying ignorant.

Well, neither of those statements are exactly correct.
The truth is quite a few animals do die on the way to the slaughterhouse or are rejected after the process has started and are then sold to pet food manufacturers.
