I dislike Peta as much as the next guy but....

My only argument;

Nevermind.

Honestly, I don't expect anyone on this forum to do anything. In fact, I'm surprised I haven't been flamed yet for being a peta activist.

That was completely disturbing. Theres a difference between fur coats a long time ago and now. Now there are so many other ways to keep warm. Back then, you could only get animal skin. Its sick that people actually want those imo.

I see nothing wrong with fur coats made from animals? If your eating the thing anyway why is it so horrible to make a coat from the skin? (although that isn't the case with the video).

I'm surprised you haven't too. Give it time tho. What's funny is that the guy who started this thread is pissed at Peta, yet totally plays into their hand by posting that link. Now more people have seen it, and their message is spread.

PS. I am neither for, nor against Peta, I have very mixed feelings about them.

"I may disagree with every word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

/rough paraphrase

Just because *I* think PETA is a misguided organization, doesn't mean PETA activists should be flamed or insulted.

That being said, and I didn't watch this vid, I have seen others, and its edited and cut to show the most offensive stuff usually.

It still doesn't belong here.

Peta is well intentioned and could be a good organization. However they just do/say some insanly stupid things. If they backed off a bit they would probably have a much larger following and accomplish more.

I think you hit the nail right on the head there. Their goal is ultimately good, but their methods suck.

[Glickman]

totally agree.

i was really into greenpeace untill they started doing some gay ads, started really reading their press releases, and i realized that they werent what i thought they were...

peta could be awsome, its just the why they go about things

but when i said i was gonna get that places phone number, i was serious :P

"this stuff goes on all the time"

yea, and people are killed for their religious beliefs all the time too, but thats ok, it HAPPENDS ALL THE TIME

lets see you back that up now

and btw, if u say their only animals i will bite your head off and feed it to rabid flamingos

Before I saw that site I ate KFC chicken :rofl: and you know what? I want some more, thats right I got hungry a nd craved chicken! Don't brother me. Really you want them to cuddle the animals before they kill it? The entire concept is retarded... just like meeeee! Yeah!

Besides that stuff has been going on for a long time, don't start that anti animals stuff now. Man, but next time I see a gaint slab of meat in a bouchers deli I will feel bad for that cow... but thats life .

a group that animates colonel sanders, showing him disemboweling chickens or whatever, then, has the brass buttons to stand out infront of a movie theater, after the release of a big-time kids movie (i believe it was) and hand these graphic cartoons to kids.

where do i sign up?

goddamn animal nazis. peta wants to focus on "animal rights" when half of our country, and the rest of the world, cant even get "human rights" straight. jesus christ. im not saying I am all for the way that those chinchillas were treated and all, but, i guess thats how its done. you dont like it, dont buy chinchilla fur. harsh sounding i know.. but, its the reality of it. I dont think a business is going to stop doing what it set out to do, just because some people who want more ethical treatment of animals ask them to. sorry guys, its reality.

:sigh:

[SlipknotX556]

I agree with Clare, I wish I had not watched that video.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

So cruel. I couldnt get past the part when the fat guy in red is pulling on it. Just sick.

[logamus]

i wish that video wasnt edited. makes me curious as to what it is peta is hiding. everyone knows fur is dead, but so are carrots and potatoes.

carrots and potatoes don't have the central nervous center or pain receptors to feel pain.

[Glickman]

i think the problem here is that there is so many alternatives to real fur like that.
