I'm thinkin PETA needs a new PR department, seems years ago they had everyone fooled, now... not so much.

[lostinblue 1,989]

PETA could be described as a terrorist organization if it was not for poltical correctness and the brain washing done in our schools.

Even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it.

Pure nut jobs that will destroy your ability to eat a steak if givin their chance.

I want to go to a peta march and throw raw meat at them.

Isn't this the group that also throws red paint on people as a form of protest?

PETA bad. Humane Society good.

Not necessarily.

There are plenty of Humane Society shelters that are just as bad with their euthanasia rates as PETA.

The next time you support a Humane Society shelter, ask them what their kill ratio is, the time limits of animals over the age of 8 years old before euthanasia, and what their medical fund limit is per animal.

If they even tell you (most try to not admit the truth) then I think you'd be surprised and dismayed.

Personally, I say support private, local, NO KILL shelters. They are often the unsung heroes of animal welfare.

Animal shelters have limited space and sometimes animals come in there that cannot be rehabilitated. What do you expect? I am all for no-kill shelters in theory but in practice it is hard to accomplish.

There is a "no-kill" shelter where I live but they have been known to take some of their less desirable animals and dump them in front of local Humane Society from time to time. So in theory it is a no-kill shelter but in reality...

People need to take responsibility for their animals and spay or neuter them accordingly. There is no other way to reduce the number of homeless animals.

And for whatever this topic is worth, I have a crate for my dog and he goes in there and sleeps on his own at night most of the time, but sometimes he sleeps in my bed. However if it is thunderstorming he leaves my bed immediately and goes into his crate, I think he feels safer in there. I keep him in a fenced in part of my apartment during the day and leave the crate open inside of this area, generally he goes in there on his own and sleeps when I leave and is often hanging out in there when I come home even though he is free to hang out in his area.

PETA needs to stop acting like they can read the minds of animals.

The only non-Islamic person on FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list is an "Animal Liberationist", Daniel Andreas San Diego. He's not affiliated with PETA, but rather with the "Animal Liberation Brigade", an even more radical loosely affiliated coalition of activists who have not rejected violent methods including bombings. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/tersandiego_da.htm

Extensional self-defense

Steven Best has coined the term "extensional self-defense" to describe actions carried out in defense of animals by human beings acting as "proxy agents."[13] He argues that, in carrying out acts of extensional self-defense, activists have the moral right to engage in acts of sabotage or even violence.[13] Extensional self-defense is justified, he writes, because animals are "so vulnerable and oppressed they cannot fight back to attack or kill their oppressors."[14] Best argues that the principle of extensional self defense mirrors the penal code statues known as the "necessity defense," which can be invoked when a defendant believes that the illegal act was necessary to avoid imminent and great harm.[14] In testimony to the Senate in 2005, Jerry Vlasak stated that he regarded violence against Huntingdon Life Sciences as an example of extensional self-defense.

So, I guess, before you send any money off to a non-profit, it pays to do the research and ask the questions. Gotcha!

Exactly.
