What do you think of the PETA organization?

One of the stupidest things I can think of, and a huge waste of money. There are so many things wrong in this world taht someone could fight for and try to change. Why would someone fight to make sure someone isn't eating Babe for breakfast, when we have homeless people in our country sleeping in the cold, or families who can barely eat beacuse they can't afford food. Or anything else that plagues this nation people don't focues on because they are blinded by moronic acts such as people wrapping themselves up as packaged meat.

Modern Americans have been conditioned that hunting and hunters are "bad" and that wild animals would be happy if just left alone. \n\nWhether or not this is an intentional conspiracy or not remains to be debated, but the fact that it's true is unarguable. \n\nThe truth is, animals are neither "happy" or "sad" and their harvesting by humans in the wild is part of NATURE that has been going on for millions of years. \n\nOne facet of this conditioning that fascinates the heck out of me is "anthropomorphism", that is, assigning human traits and characteristics to animals. It causes kids to grow up with a false and distorted view of animals and then to take ridiculous position like being "anti-hunter" and to joining terror groups like PETA.

I could play devils advocate, but in general, most such associations are a big waste of time. okay, since you asked for it.\n\n1. It may help otherwise impotent people to feel like they\nare having an impact on things.\n\n2. It encourages people to socialize and get to know each other.\n\n3. Depending upon how well its run and by whom, it might even get something done or be useful to society.\n\n4. Such associations strengthen "community".\n\n\n--------------\nAs long as we are at it, i wish you had said what kind of association they are trying to form, it makes a big dif.\nAnti crime associations are better than for instance paint color police. (Homeowneers associations often become yard fashion police, and yes, its a lame thing to get involved in, like bringing high school drama and politics into playing house; For like, REAL...)

I think they're both just as bad.  PETA can get pretty nasty and petty sometimes.

Peta supports  diminishing the value of children and human life.  Jesus ate fish.

In my opinion not enough, I dont feel that enough is being done to protect the rainforest, or any of the endangered species, or our natural environment. Money may make the world go round, but money also wipes out and money also prevents things from helping. Conservationists do a heck of a job, animal volunteers give up time and money, but honestly, can they truly compete with a corporation that has billions of dollars?? NO!! and that is sad, I dread thinking what wonderful animal on this planet is going to be the next extinct species, that either lives in our memories, or worst yet, in a zoo. The planet needs a few billionaires to fight on her side, Earth has provided for us, we have the duty to return the favor, if we want to live here and partake of all that is around. We need to put Earth first now, not ourselves.

I looked at your previous questions and saw nothing wrong with them.\n\nSome people just have nothing better to do than to intimidate other people's lives.\n\nGood thought about the United Way!

I can't say for sure that it's PETA, but some activists came to this area one time, and set free all the mink at a local mink ranch. The thing they didn't count on, was that mink are VERY mean animals. Nobody found any human corpses, but the mink cleaned out every outside cat in town, and ate them. And some of the smaller dogs were killed too. I figure these activists freed 100 mink to kill 500 other animals.\n\nThey probably came from a big city, and never found out about the consequences of their actions, because even though they stop into our town to commit a crime, they don't care enough to get hold of a newspaper and find out what trouble they really caused. It's happened more than once around here, at different mink ranches.\n\nSo when the owner of the mink ranch wakes up in the morning, not only are all his mink gone, but so are the cats, his dog is no more than a chewed up carcass, and the trailer park down the road is completely devoid of pets. Quite the job these people are doing of saving animals' lives, don't you think?

Well im not sure what to say about "Devil Worshippers" other than I think they have been mis-informed, I Myself am a Satanist and basically any information you seek about us can be found at www.churchofsatan.com . We dont kill animals or babies like we have so often been acused, nor do we go out seeking new members, new members seek us. But since im a nice guy you can pm me if you like im bored anyway and I'll help if I can.

A well sturctured organisation should behave well. As a tree is judged by its fruits... However, there are many people in the world who do not have good intentions. I personally do not support any business that is involved in any sort of immoral beaviour at all.

The biggest animal rights group in the world right now is probably People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. You might want to check out their site and the sites of their critics. Try http://www.petakillsanimals.com for some startling facts about PETA. Also, any good book on animal rights/welfare in your school's library will address the criticisms of the animal rights movement.\n\nA handy tip: remember that animal right and animal welfare are not the same thing. When you think animal rights, think PETA. When you think animal welfare, think SPCA.\n\nGood luck with your term paper!

They've got a website, and a sound platform, I believe. Their basic concept and principle is in line with mine, that legal immigrants are welcome, illegal immigrants are not welcome.\n\nWhat we have now is 'bums rush' immigration. Kind of picture 40 million army ants attacking a cow...one ant is not powerful enough to kill the cow, but 40 million are....and they're very efficient about it...and, it's my view that this administration and the next Congress need to act effectively on the issue to prevent \nour 'cow' from getting killed. If we're going to have 'war on terror' and so forth, then they damn well need to think about the future in terms of immigration, demographics, and so forth...

Very.\nAs with ALL animal species.  Watch and see it.\nThe only problem is that we TRY to hide from it, and cause ALOT of emmotional problems when we cant reconcile them.

Who doesn't contribute to society -- the activists or the animals?\n\nDid you know that animal abuse laws were in place prior to laws prohibiting the abuse of children?  Anti child abuse laws were actually derived from animal abuse laws.  So there's something to be said for those who protect.\n\nThere was a story in my local paper today.  A teacher had brought in a tortoise as a class pet.  Over the holiday weekend, vandals came in and bludgeoned the pet for no reason.  Shouldn't someone stand up for the animal and those who loved it?\n\nAs for the second part of your question posted in additional details . . . the poor starving person already has a voice.  The animals do not.  How many humans realize that they're made of meat too?  Good thing animals don't have the same twisted disregard for our lives as we tend to have over theirs.
