[QUOTE=Shadaez;16572279]I'm torn to be honest, not sure where I stand anymore. I just hate all the people calling PETA hypocritical. They really aren't that extreme, you should go on Craig's List and look on the vegan forum. Bunch of crazy people, some are very moderate though. The only extreme thing they do are their demonstrations, which I find hilarious to watch. I'd high-five a demonstrator if I ever saw one happening in person.[/QUOTE]
Oh my god where have you been for the past 10 years.
[quote]The Center for Consumer Freedom, which represents the food industry, a frequent target of PETA campaigns, released data filed by PETA with the state of Virginia that shows PETA has killed more than 10,000 animals from 1998 to 2003. "In 2003, PETA euthanized over 85 percent of the animals it took in," said a press release from the lobby, "finding adoptive homes for just 14 percent. By comparison, the Norfolk (Va.) SPCA found adoptive homes for 73 percent of its animals and Virginia Beach SPCA adopted out 66 percent."
The Center's David Martosko considered PETA's hefty budget -- reportedly, $20 million -- and many contributions from well-heeled Hollywood celebrities, then figured, "PETA has enough money in the bank to care for every unwanted animal in Virginia (where it has its headquarters) and North Carolina."
PETA prefers to spend donations, apparently, not caring for flesh-and- blood animals entrusted to it but on campaigns attacking medical researchers, meat-eaters or women wearing furs. It is as if PETA prefers the idea of animals to animals themselves. [/quote]

Turn on the news once in a while.
edit: A word from Ingrid Newkirk, President of PETA
[quote]A 2003 New Yorker profile included PETA top dog Ingrid Newkirk's story of how she became involved in animal rights after a shelter put down stray kittens she brought there. So she went to work for an animal shelter in the 1970s, where, she explained, "I would go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself. Because I couldn't stand to let them go through (other workers abusing the animals.) I must have killed a thousand of them, sometimes dozens every day." [/quote]
[QUOTE=mon_ons;16498143]Yeah, because their videos about slaughterhouses are totally fake and none of that ever happens. Yep, all made up.[/QUOTE]
You recieved loads of dumbs for a good reason.
I want one of those. They look so fucking cool. Thanks for advertising.
[QUOTE=TheForeigner;16498323]How about peta gets their own island somewhere in the middle of nowhere and all countries throw some money and build a town or two and send two of every animal there too with peta people.
Also vegetables and seeds.
Also hidden cameras and such to monitor them.
Also no internet and peta cant leave the island.
World peace by me.[/QUOTE]
I'm gonna fix that a little bit
Peta gets their own island nowhere near any countries or towns.
No food
No water (except the salt water)
and hidden cameras to watch them suffer.
Can I buy one online or at army barracks?

It's going to set you back at least 360 pounds.

The price is going to go sky-high as the economy recovers and as demand outweighs supply ten fold.
