Even worse is one of them tried to argue that you can still be vegetarian and eat chicken and fish. Riiiiiiight.skinny.

…….

No idea how that can be. My diet is mostly vegetables with chicken and fish but I'm not vegetarian. I just like vegetables more (especially green beans, peas, and braenz… er… cauliflower)

People are bothered by PETA because their ads tend to be crude and tactless.

Actually, I couldn't care less about their choice of advertising. It's the way they mask their true purpose and end up getting support from people who believe they are supporting a good cause when they aren't. PETA is not an animal welfare group. They are more along the lines of animal slavery abolition. They would rather animals be suffering or dead than captive.

But they don't tell people this, and that is the biggest reason to be "bothered" by PETA. Because well-meaning people join and support them, not knowing that what they are supporting has nothing to do with helping animals, improving quality of human life, or helping the environment.

*Note how much "all vegetarians want to make me vegetarian" sounds like "all Muslims want to make me Muslim" and "all homosexuals want to make me homosexual."

In the case of PETA, it's more like if it was an organization that told people it's trying to feed starving people, so everyone rallies behind them, but their real objective is something completely unrelated and semi(being generous)-insane like installing an ear of corn as dictator and slaughtering everyone named Steve.

I don't have problems with vegetarians. The "preachy" ones are annoying, but if they have a real reason for it (and even "converting" people) and are up front about that reason, then I respect that. However, PETA says "do it for health" but that has nothing at all to do with their reasons.

silly PETA, don't they know that the little lambs go out and eat bunch of grass and become fat lambs?

Well, thats the way that PETA works. Calling names and offending everybody who don't agree with them. Honestly, IÂ´ve always thought that they are nothing but well-endorsed bullies.

Agreed

there are some adorably chubby vegetarians out there! like me! vegetarians can still eat cinnabons, cheese pizza, etc. VEGANS are the thin ones…

I like this post because it's contrary to the theme of the thread. And honestly, If I was a toll I would've harpooned the first post severely…

But people are generally right about PETA. The goal of animal welfare is admirable, the trouble is that there are other organisations who have always done it so much better. PETA has hijacked the position from them, and through the idiocy of its followers; made all other animal welfare groups and even environmental groups look bad. It has even set back the whole cause for animal welfare world wide.

PETA are like Hamas to the cause for Palestinian liberation, or like the IRA to Northern Ireland- extremist, malcontent fools who set back their own cause repeatedly and consistently.

I like how PETA assumes eating meat is what makes you fat, as if there isnt a hundred other ways you can gain weight on other meatless foods. :V

Speaking of meat, tonight I am making teriyaki steak with carmalized onions and a tall glass of beer. How awesome is that?

eat meat
dont eat meat
be fat
be thin

who CARES!? organisations like PETA need to get a grip. they might as well be named the nationalist socialist animal worker party or something! (NADWP - nazis btw, for our younger readers)

there are many horrible things in the world right now and it really annoys me to see an organisation with a bit money and support targetting peoples personal problems rather than these worldwide problems.

my friend was injured in a bomb explosion in iraq bout 2 weeks ago. he survived with minor injuries but many of his friends were blown to bits. Killed in an unjust pointless war. thats a far bigger issue than someone having a fucking big mac for lunch.

why can't people get a long?

best of luck to your website mate, i completely agree with anything that stands against the blatant discrimination we face. Vegetarianism is a personal choice, and these clowns are making it out to be a bloody religion.
