Your thoughts on PETA?

They bring the lulzxaos

I actually had a thoughtful response till I read that. Now I pretty much agree.

My clan tag on MW was PETA just to piss people off :P

I'm not vegetarian, but I know a few of them and they are NOTHING like you guys describe them as. They don't go around telling everybody how they should be ashamed of themselves. They don't say being vegetarian is the best thing in the world.Chojuto

Also, vegans are easily offended and/or provokedxaos

Yes but that's why they can be oh so much fun to have around.

Yeah, much better than poking at a badger. Both are fun both the latter can actually hurt you back. :)

[QUOTE="Squidney"][QUOTE="mrbojangles25"]

i wasnt that serious.

so no, I dont loathe vegans, and if I met you I am sure we'd get along fine. I just, dunno, dont really like people that make pointless statements.

Its natural to eat meat; its healthy to eat meat; meat is tasty...so why not eat it?

Also, when people stoop to eating Tofurkey and Tofu hot dogs and other meat substitutes, theyre only lying to themselves.

xaos

yes they are, andgiving responses like that they wonder why people dont like them.:roll:

also notice how alot of his statements are stated as fact. "For me all 3 of your reasons why people should eat meat are simply untrue."

"Meat is not natural" its made of nitrogen, carbon, oxygen andhydrogen. last time i checked those are the organic elements and are naturally existing.

"humans have short digestive tracts intended for a plant based diet" also last time i checked cows have 4 stomachs cause there herbavores how many do humans have? 1? thats what i though. long digestive tracts andthe presencegizzards and a large appendix arefor plant based diets. how bigs our appendix, size of our thumbs. it can be removed harmlessly and its notrequired for digestion? looks like another hole inhis claim.

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="Squidney"] Well, have you ever taken the time to look into why people are vegetarian? If you did, you would understand and respect it (I'm not sayin you would practice it necessarily but at least respect other people's decisions). People aren't vegetarian for no reason. For me all 3 of your reasons why people should eat meat are simply untrue. Meat is not healthy, its bad for you, very bad for you in fact. Meat is not natural, humans have short digestive tracts intended for a plant based diet, and our "canines" are incomparable to carnivorous species, and more comparable to orangutans and other herbivores. I, also am completely against factory farming and unnecessary cruelty to animals, although to me thats a totally separate issue as I mainly view meat eating as unnecessary and unhealthy. As for fake meat products, we're not trying to pretend that we're eating meat as much as maintaining a similar diet as we did before we went vegetarian. Tofurky is tasty and gives me the protein I need, without the negative effects of meat, thats why I eat it.cornholio157

Also, it's herbivores that have the long digestive tracts.

Also, cows do not have 4 stomachs because they are herbivores. They have 4 stomachs because they are ungulates.

PETA does some good, but they are so over the top on many, many things it overshadows most good things they do, sadly.btaylor2404

a bunch cry babies.

I like animals as much as the next person, but they need to be killed for humans to enjoy.

meat has protein, which is accually good for you...what is not good for you? ---> lacking moderation in your daily diet! i believe meat is fine, but in a balanced diet with everything else that is available.

PETA is good for a laugh. Nothing more. They also have an incedible tendency to waste other peoples resources. You know once an animal activist group poisoned a bunch of turkeys where I live so no one would eat turkeys for Christmas. The turkey board had to go out and slaughter twice as many turkeys that year than they would have normally because of their actions. They aren't exactly the smartest people on Earth.

Terrorists

Oh, and to the vegetarians/vegans who state that "meat is not natural", what i think you're trying to say (untruthfully) is that it is not natural for humans to eat meat. Humans are naturally omnivorous creatures, having evolved to eat both veg/meat, so your argument holds absolutely no weight whatsoever.

They euthanize animals. PannicAtack

They support bestiality.PannicAtack

They spend more on stupid and tasteless ads than they do on actually helping animals.PannicAtack

That's the number 1 reason I can't stand peta.

They give me a good case of the lulz.

*chomps on a steak and chicken sandwich*

:)

I fully support them. I am an animal lover myself, and I make everyday a great effort to give every animal a decent home:

My stomach!

But frankly, they are just a bunch of morons.

also, I loathe vegans

DJ_Lae

Why is that, if I may ask?

People who eat meat do that too ALL the time, so don't try to shift the blame unfairly. I myself don't do the whole 'point out faults in other people's life style' thing, but that sure as hell hasn't stopped them from calling me a rabbit, a whimp, shoving sausages in my face and actually trying to force me to take a bite out of them. So don't give me any of that crap about vegans, because morons come of all views.

PETA is the activist version of the Westboro Baptist Church and just as bad.

[QUOTE="PannicAtack"]They support bestiality.BuryMe

"If a girl gets sexual pleasure from riding a horse, does the horse suffer? If not, who cares? If you French kiss your dog and he or she thinks it's great, is it wrong? We believe all exploitation and abuse is wrong. If it isn't exploitation and abuse, it may not be wrong."

Considering how many animals they euthanize themselves, I think they're hypocrites.

I think I saw that in movie called "sex games" or something like that...

anyway...PETA's intention are good, the ways they try to reach the goals...not so good...some of the methods are wrong...and the others are just plain stupid...like that seakittens campaign...do they actually expect to change someone's mind about eating fish because of that BS? and I saw on the website they only have like 2k signatures...even MW2 dedicated servers petition got more than that...

they are so stupid, no one takes them seriously anymore...

Exactly, just look at all the freaking posts in this forums. Almost everyone makes some witty and negative comment putting themselves on a pedestal and pushing vegetarians to a lower being. So YOU are the hypocrite. I have soooo many friends that are vegetarian and vegan and NONE of them possess the negative traits you're claiming. Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, people act this way because you ATTACK THEM and belittle them?

[QUOTE="DJ_Lae"] I'm with him.

I think that all these groups are stupid -_-

I mean were omnivours, we were made to eat meat and vegetables... And cruelty to animals? Dont make me laugh... Watch Animal Planet and write down all the preaty ways a zebra can get killed and eaten (not necesarily alive) out in Africa...

Realy? Killed quickly?
Does:
-Getting drowned while your legs are being spun out of their joints
-Being eaten alive
-Having your leg broken then getting eaten while you still stand
-Getting your leg broken and left to die from either infection or the lions
etc.

What's with our cattle? They are in a room with food and water infront of them and they dont have to do anything else but to eat the food and wait till they get slaughtered... Witch takes about 1 second, them prolly not eaven knowing what happaned.

You can say whatever you like, but i think most of you have already lost the debate judging by your lack of factual information with any kind of reference to back you up.Squidney

I don't think I've seen you post a link to back up your ridiculous claims that humans are actually herbivores...

Sounds like a profane word in French.
