“They rake in the cash”
–and it all goes to running the organization and outreach. they legally cant make a profit.
“Euthanize the animals brought to them”
–PETA is not a shelter and generally animals are not brought to them. they have a small staff of techs who go out in EMERGENCIES by REQUEST. thus the animals are not adoptable.

“get caught doing it,”
–they got caught disposing of the bodies improperly not for euthanizing. they have legal licensing to euthanize animals. how do you think they got the drugs?

“PLEASE, its only an excuse to raise cash to line the pockets of the head honchos”
–no one at PETA makes more than $60,000 and year. the freaking president brings home only $34,000. maybe you mean the ASPCA whose pres brings in millions.

“they don’t give a monkeys (literally and metaphorically) provided the cash rolls in.”
–or instead of making stuff up, you could go to the website and read the victories.

“When someone shows me a human with ALL NATURAL HERBIVORE TEETH then I’ll consider a 100% vege diet”
–are you suggesting that the dull small incisors we have are for ripping flesh?! its clearly for foliage. i have a six pound cat whose fangs are long and sharp - for the size we are, ours PALE in comparison.

“but we ain’t herbivores! Its IN OUR DNA and no amount of wallowing in hypocrisy will change that.”
–our closest relatives are largely herbiverous. i could give more examples about stomach acid, size of intestines etc…but its too long for here.

Grow up, be OMNIVORE.

also, peta isnt against pets. they are against buying them from breeders or pet stores but not adopting them. HELLO?! they have merch for companions in their own catalog. they have never called for domesticated animals to be set free. i cant believe im having to debate this. but hey, you do wear fur.

and cattle are smelly because of the deplorable conditions we raise them in. pigs and cows are actually very clean normally. maybe what you smell is your smelly fur coat.

martin - a Jewish survivor actually made the comparison first. (Isaac Bashevis Singer) and they adapted it from him. he said, “To animals, all humans are Nazis.”

moon - first, the ASPCA does not help animals. they only help dogs and cats and ignore elephants, mink, rats, seals, lobsters, tigers, raccoons, rabbits, etc….and they have some ’splainin’ to do also. their CEO makes millions. Ingrid Newkird brings home just $34,000 a year. again, the goal of PETA is not to take away pets just for people to adopt only.

The point here I guess, is that being ‘aware’ and loving animals means nothing if you still continue to avoid doing anything with that awareness.

If you own a vintage fur, no matter how much you justify it, it is still a dead animal. Donate it to PETA and at least a homeless person or a widow in Afghanistan will be able to really use it. Take a few minutes to check what companies test their products on animals, and avoid those products. Next time you’re out for lunch, think about what foi gras really means to the geese who are force fed, sometimes until their necks tear, to produce that ‘delicacy’. Next time you’re in a pet store looking at cute puppies, take a minute to consider the hell of breeding dogs and puppies who are mass produced in puppy mills to be sold to pet stores, not to mention all the puppies and older dogs that are withering away in shelters across the world.

If you really love animals, you wouldn’t want any animal to have to suffer for you. You don’t have to like PETA’s ads or agree with every one of their views - but the entire point of PETA is to eliminate animal suffering, and by making pro-animal choices, you can help this basic cause.

It’s that simple really, you have the power to choose.

This really blew me away.
Who knew?

PETA has no hidden agenda. If you know about it, it isn’t hidden, and Ingrid Newkirk will tell anyone who asks what PETA’s agenda is.

Also, if you have a fur coat or leather one (fur with the hair ripped out) that you feel embarrassed to be seen in (for good reason) donate it to PETA. They use them in their campaigns and send them to poor countries where people are freezing and have no other options!

“People who will not look at the gore, cannot take their eyes of the gorgeous”

To what Brandy said: Yes, they don’t believe in having “pets” but they don’t say kick them out of the house today! PETA wants people to stop breeding pets, something like 20,000 pets are put down PER DAY because there are too many. Keep your pets now, love them, adopt other homeless pets. But when those that are alive today are long gone tomorrow, they say let it be because they feel it is unnatural to domesticate animals. ..And I’m sorry you feel that because an animal stinks it needs to be slaughtered and worn as clothing.

And to Martin: You have to understand, PETA DOES think that animals are equal to humans so comparing them to Holocaust victims is not so far fetched. There is a difference between animal rights and animal welfare. Animal rights is the belief that you think animals should have the same basic rights that we believe humans should have; included the right to live your life out without being systematically killed. Animal welfare is “How big is the cage the animal is being kept in?”, “Does it get a proper diet?”, “Is it killed humanely?”. Also, there is the connection of how some of the skin from Holocaust victims would be used as lampshades, etc and hair would be used as linings in coats, we use leather and fur.

I hope this didn’t come out as a rant, I don’t mean to offend anyone. It is a hotly debated subject and I am just trying to clear some things up.
