Pages: 1 2 3 4  Next -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:26 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Support PETA People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with more than 2.0 million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other "pests," and the abuse of backyard dogs.   PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.   Support ASPCA The ASPCA was founded in 1866 as the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. The Society was formed to alleviate the injustices animals faced then, and we continue to battle cruelty today. Whether it's saving a pet who has been accidentally poisoned, fighting to pass humane laws, rescuing animals from abuse or sharing resources with shelters across the country, we work toward the day in which no animal will live in pain or fear. Come and join us in the fight to end animal cruelty— PETA and ASPCA supports animals that look like this: I didn't want to post all the gruesome ones. If you're curious, google search animal cruelty. To keep this from total advertising, what have you done to help animals that are tortured or neglected? Are you a vegetarian? Do you support helping mistreated animals but still eat meat? Have you donated to PETA, ASPCA, or other organizations? Share. -- Posted by wOlF at 9:26 am on Aug. 21, 2008 I don't support PETA, because they are the craziest fuckers around. See other post. -- Posted by acalypha at 9:27 am on Aug. 21, 2008 awww. i think people who mistreat animals are really cruel and should be punished   -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:28 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from wolverineh8ter at 12:26 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 I don't support PETA, because they are the craziest fuckers around.

Welfare however, is a different matter. -- Posted by barnabas at 9:28 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Peta is insane. I have donated money to the ASPCA. I dont own a pet, but  love animals. I eat meat, because I see nothing wrong with it. -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 9:28 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 12:28 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from wolverineh8ter at 12:26 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 I don't support PETA, because they are the craziest fuckers around.     But its for a good cause.

I support animals rights but fuck PETA. They may have good intentions but Ive heard bad thngs about their methods. -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:30 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from UnusualOne at 12:28 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 NOT ANIMAL RIGHTS. ANIMAL WELFARE. That's my opinion, extremist animal rights people are nuts. Welfare however, is a different matter. I didn't mention that in my topic.  But, I've wondered about that.  Isn't welfare of an animal a right?  If you say no, then the welfare of a human is no different.  Governments shouldn't care. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 9:31 am on Aug. 21, 2008 I do eat meat, but I never waste my meat.  It's part of the reason that I'm willing to try all edible parts of an animal, just because I find it more respectful that way. I haven't done anything to make a difference in this area.  My sister and I have donated animal food and treats to shelters and the like, but I haven't ever reported a mistreated animal (because I haven't seen one), nor a donated to the actual organization. -- Posted by iBritt at 9:31 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from HarrySunderland at 12:28 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 12:28 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from wolverineh8ter at 12:26 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 I don't support PETA, because they are the craziest fuckers around.      But its for a good cause.

I don't think you were referencing that song, but yeah.. To the OP: PETA's a bit cuckoo -- Posted by SovSull at 9:32 am on Aug. 21, 2008 i put animals out of their misery by eating them also peta is completely crazy -- Posted by Light Assassin at 9:32 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Peta literally plants bombs in places like drug companies. My dad works at one of the top 3 drug companies in the world, and what they use animals for is not as cruel as everyone makes it out to be. PETA has no right to be so fucking psychotic. therefore, PETA fails. -- Posted by Light Assassin at 9:34 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 9:30 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from UnusualOne at 12:28 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 NOT ANIMAL RIGHTS.    ANIMAL WELFARE.    That's my opinion, extremist animal rights people are nuts.    Welfare however, is a different matter.

ANIMAL WELFARE. That's my opinion, extremist animal rights people are nuts. Welfare however, is a different matter. True story. I agree 200%. I've been rescuing animals my entire life, and I have never supported the extremist views of animal rights. Their movements get nothing done, and it is nothing but fear mongering (and that's not just PeTA, ALF and other AR orgs do more than their fair share of bullshit). IFAW is much better than the organizations you listed, honestly. Even the ASPCA has serious flaws in how they operate. As does the HSU. And it should be noted that ASPCA is New York based, not necessarily the overlord of every SPCA out there. -- Posted by qi at 9:35 am on Aug. 21, 2008 I don't support PETA.  As for the ASPCA, well, I'm not a fan of the way they take care of their animals and their kill policy. I have donated to numerous non-kill shelters.  I have also fed, spayed, and neutered multiple colonies of homeless cats before. -- Posted by BeautifulxLiar at 9:37 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from UnusualOne at 12:28 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 NOT ANIMAL RIGHTS.

And while I believe animals are not lower than humans, they are also different. You can't treat animals as though they are humans. Should also be noted that animal rights activists do not believe in working dogs. Horseback riding and bee-keeping are also out of the question. And many of those organizations have been fighting a brick wall trying to get these things outlawed. I guess it's okay to support keeping a dog from following the instincts we've bred into them over centuries, even millenniums. -- Posted by BeautifulxLiar at 9:41 am on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from Bonolove at 12:34 pm on Aug. 21, 2008 Quote: from bracexface lovesxdan at 9:30 am on Aug. 21, 2008 uhhh....peta is a big NO      http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ i was just gonna post that... sorry to kill your buzz -- Posted by wOlF at 9:42 am on Aug. 21, 2008 First of all, here is the data regarding the animals killed by PETA vs. the animals that are adopted.  Click... and lying about the amount of funds they have.... saying they cannot afford things with their $25 million budget Click and other misc. exuses click -- Posted by mackenzie13 at 9:42 am on Aug. 21, 2008 SAVE THE ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
