I also got in a magazine about it.

Me too, great suggestion. I was going to go for KFC, but a nice big mac sounds like a treat.

There is a town up here in NoCA. called Rodeo. PETA was pressuring them to change the name of their town because it represents animal cruelty.
They waste WAY too much energy on nitpicking.

Daman

IIRC - the president of PETA, that woman, she is diabetic and takes those medicines.

She has justified that hypocrisy by claiming (paraphrased by me, I don't have the direct quote on me) "I am fighting for the good cause. Those animals would have given their lives for me willingly"

edit: can't find a source, so don't take my word for it

edit 2: seems I was thinking of the wrong woman. Found this:

I'd like to see a demonstration of this. I'll bring the barbecue grill.

At the same time she's also publicly stated that if animal testing found a cure for HIV she would still protest against it.

Meanwhile her postergirl, Pamela Anderson, has hepatitis and requires medication derived from animal testing to keep it under control.

Wait, those fuckers were responsible for the show ALF?

All kidding aside, I agreed with PETA against the fur industry, and I agree that the meat industry is cruel. But they lost me when they were throwing paint on people wearing fur coats. And bombing peoples houses who work with lab animals (I guess that's the ALF who does that).
I hope the WWF is still cool.

Daman

You know. If they threw their paint on leather-clad hell's angels instead - they would get some respect from me again.

Honourless bastards to attack defenseless women.

Darkley

i do think that we should be responsible regarding animal welfare, and needless cruelty but its when animal rights activists think that this...

BBC NEWS | England | Staffordshire | Four jailed in grave-theft case

is ok behaviour, that i go the other way and want to see what swan tastes like

plus isnt a guinea pig made for experimentation? the clue is in the name

Lila

I'm not sure exactly what's true and what's not about media's view about PETA, but what I do know is that medicine testing isn't as simple question as you might think it is.

You remember the Nevrocedyne (sorry about spelling) scandal. A lot of young mothers ate medicine to calm them down thinking it was safe. The medicine company that had tested them on animals said they were. And it was safe - for the animals, but not for the unborn babies.

Have you tried aspirine? Scientists has found that it's not only good for pain relief but has a lot of other benefits too. Well guineapigs die from it. If they had been dependant only on the animal testing, we wouldn't be able to use aspirine.

There's an organization in the US that, have forgotten the name, but it's an organization for medical doctors that are against animal testing, not because of the animals, but the risks of being dependent on them.

A lot of the money fo aids research goes to the attempts to get monkeys to get aids, they don't usually get that, only HIV. Is that where we want the research money to go?

Darkley

ingrid newkirk, the president of peta herself stated that companion animals are slaves, and petas job would not be completed until they are freed

and as for medical testing, i would choose a sick person over an animal anyday, and testing on guinea pigs is NOT the only trial people use - its tested and tested and tested again -

Lila

Because humans are more intelligent than hens? Because we're worth more then them? I wonder how the "scientists" reasoned when they tested radioactive cereals on children with learning disabilities 1946-1953 (MIT and Harward University)

Darkley

apples and oranges

chickens/dogs/cows/pigs are domesticated

they wouldnt exist unless we used them in some way

comparing human atrocities with animal cruelty is unacceptable and insulting to those who have suffered

Cocoanut Koala

And here's another thing occurs to me about PETA. When are they going to stand up for the animals that are savagely attacked, killed, and eaten by the other animals?

Eaten ALIVE, even!

And - what will those animals eat when they can't eat other animals anymore?

So, why did the Nevrocedyne scandal happen? If they are testing and testing again?

People are choosing every day. The scientists decided to play god over the children with learning disabilities because they wanted to 'save' people from radiation poisoning.
