Frankly, I am shocked at the extremism I've seen in the replies on this thread - from what I see, you'd fit right in at "extremist" PETA, according to how y'all describe them.
If PETA weren't here, you could picture your own babies right this minute in:
***Automobile crash tests
***Live vivisection
***Medical school anatomy labs
***Cosmetic testing (that is now replaced by computer models)
I could go ON and ON - PETA did ALL of this, when NONE of it was "fashionable". And, you know what ELSE was "borne" of PETA - all the other more "direct-care" organizations that care for the animals - which are also necessary.
Yes, PETA can be annoyingly radical - but sometimes you need a pie in the face to even know that it's there. You need the left, you need the right - and you need the middle - so I believe there is a PLACE for all of these organizations and for ALL of their accomplishments and missions. And, when you bash the crap out of one of them - I think you hurt all of them.
PETA is, essentially, a lobbyist organization - and, unfortunately - the animals need a lobbyist organization as well as direct care organizations. |
PETA wants us to have no animals and are better left to fend for themselves out in the wild....they ethunize (can't spell the word) just as much as a shelter will and go to people's homes and says they will resuce their unwanted pet and then take them out to their vans and put that dog to sleep just after telling the previous owner who thought their animal would be adopted to another family but only to be put to sleep and then dumped in the a garbage bin...is that how you want to support PETA and is that an ethical way to treat animals? There are better organizations out there for the welfare of animals and that treat animals more humane than PETA or the SPCA of the US.
I"m not extremist by any means but PETA is one of the worse propaganda pet organizations out there! Just my opinion agree with it or not
