For those of you who think that PETA really cares about pets, check this article out...Center for Consumer Freedom :: PETA Killed 97 Percent of 'Companion Animals' in 2006, According to VDACS

This is awful.

I've never really liked PETA because I always knew that they were doing dirty business.

I've had to deal with students at NTID/RIT getting extremely emotional with their support for PETA and verbally attacking other students who didn't care for pets. "PETA is the best place for pets. We should help them!"

Well, PETA actually sucks. Other people do a better job than PETA.

Yes, I've known about PETA's methods for a while. Not good.

AnimalLover

First, the headline is inaccurate. It implies that 97% of pets in the United States (or in the world) were killed.

Second, it's important for people to know what the Center for Consumer Freedom is. It's a deceptively named group that was founded with money from the tobacco industry. (For more information, visit SourceWatch or ConsumerDeception.org.) The CCF's goal was to put a positive spin on smoking. When that failed, they moved to other industries and are now funded by the restaurant, alcohol, meat and dairy industries.

The CCF opposes Mothers Against Drunk Driving. And their MO is to try to discredit those groups that oppose the CCF. Peta is one of those groups because it cares about animals and doesn't want people to murder them for food.

Even if you disagree with Peta -- and I know a lot of people do -- please realize that even some animal-rights groups do not agree with everything Peta does. So if you hate Peta, look into supporting less-outrageous animal-rights groups like Vegan Outreach or Farm Sanctuary.

The bottom line is that we all care about animals and don't want to see them suffer.

Yep, me too. So many people out there abandons their pets or let them run loose or run away others abuse pets like not feeding them or giving them water and other use them for animals fight for money. So many people abuse their pets that end up in pound, peta and SPCA. It really terrible thing.

PETA is a scary business .. it is an opposite of a good business. It can fool you and anyone. I once read the article about the baby polar bear that was rescued by the one of the zookeepers because the mom rejected and nearly killed it. The PETA thinks the baby should be killed -- as if it is natural thing to do. Ahhh if I can't take care of my own child... would I kill him or her? No... I will let one of my family member to take care of the baby or ... adoption.

Dino65

I support no-kill animal shelters ... not sure about ASPCA because of the enthusania (sp).

Please spay or neuter your pets .. otherwise the puppies may be ended up in the wrong place!

Hmmmm. Volume isn't necessarily an indicator of reliability, but I've seen a lot of good sense in what I've read of VamPyroX's 20,0000-plus posts, but I note this is AnimalLover's first post, so I tend to place more trust in what I know.

I also know that the vast majority of avid PETA supports have a lot of money but don't want any of it to be used for the benefit of people.

Snug and safe in their man-made shelter in whatever metropolis they dwell, they want to force their affected tastes for veggies on the rest of the world. They would be the first to whine and beg for protection in a natural environment where people are much lower in the food chain.

It's not really about loving animals. It's about despising people.

Sheesh.. I'm not surprise. I never like PETA at all.

It's pretty difficult for my family to trust, since it's "legally" thing to do harm those pets and animals FOR MONEY. GEE! =/

Better to kill them for food than for no reason at all, eh?

And do you care as much for the suffering of people?

Dixie

also dont support HSUS either - its ridiculous how many of these major animal welfare groups say they are helping but it seems as if they are doing more harm than good, just as much harm as their targets.

I supported PETA for a year or less until I found a booklet of them stating that IAMS would not stop testing on animals. Their action was to send your pet's poop in a plastic bag and wrap it in a box and send it to IAMS. I swear, this was in their booklet they send in the mail telling us about what's going on.

I didn't like that plus I read a story article that a group of PETA supporters stood outside of a KFC restaurant to dump animal's blood on people's fur coat outside of a KFC restaurant.

I did not like this, so I stopped supporting PETA fast. They also sold my mails to other companies resulting in getting many junks.

I support the idea of no testing on animals and avoiding unecessary abuses, but if their action is to send your pet's poop in a box???? Naw.....

ClearSky

There are other ways to imitate meat. I ate a chicken nuggets that were meatless. They taste no less than chicken nuggets. If we have a healthy way of non-artificially immitating meat, why use animals? That's so 1700's. We can survive without meat by finding other alternatives, so it's not like it's better to kill animals for food than none at all. It's not hard to understand what vegetarians are telling us. Meat eaters are just too lazy to attempt to change their diet without even trying.

The sufferings of the world is another thing, and what makes you think that animals suffering has nothing to do with human sufferings? Humans suffer for the animals, so vice versa it is important on both sides.

I'm all for animal rights, not PETA though. I am also for human rights particularly those that cannot defend themselves such as unborn children. We don't all dispise people you know.

I'd also like to point out that a lot of animal abusers have a record of abusing the people too. I know several people like that.

I was really upset about the way that PETA went around killing animals while promising the shelters they were finding homes. I agree with PETA about the meat and fur industry and about vivisection but I really don't agree with their tactics.

Good answer. Human abuse is often linked to animal abuse. For example there is a guy in Oxford who tortures monkeys because he claims he is curing Alzimers. On the other hand many centers that used to help people with Alzimers are having to be closed down due to lack of funds leaving these people with nowhere to go, yet millions are spent to allow this man to continue with his cruel tests.
