PETA: Sinking to New lows

They have hit bottom and started to dig

In another show of callous disregard to the human race or anything approaching humanity, PETA has a new Ad Campaign against people.  Except this time they really have gone too far!  Instead of enobling their cause, which I am sure was their aim, they just demonstrate how callous and inhumane they are.

In the latest Ad campaign, they are equating selling breeding cattle and horses to the horror of the slave trade 200 years ago!  They are not enobling their cause, they are cheapening the plight of the blacks of that age!  And that is just plain sickening!

If there was any shred of humanity or compassion in those clowns before, it is apparent that they have none now.  It is too bad that they take what is arguably one of the most tragic times in American history and belittling it by comparing it to the selling of Cattle!

They are beneath contempt!  They do not deserve even the effort for spitting on them, for that would be to acknowledge them as contemptable, and that is too good for those creeps.

I'm eating some kind of meat tonight...if only for spite.

Or as Patton Oswalt so eloquently said:
"I love steak, more than I actually love steak out of my hatred for hippies."

PETA lost it long ago...its kind of sad how some people still think that contempt will breed support for their cause.

PETA, the brain dead of yesteryear are now the pet euthanizers of today.

They had a billboard ad going here where they said feeding meat to your children was child abuse.  I thought that was bad, but this one takes the cake! for now.

I just took a brief walk with my girlfriend after lunch and shared this bit of news with her.

She's black. I bet you can guess how she took that one. I think our dinner is going to involve cow tonight.

Tell her I'll pay the tip!  Make sure it is a prime cut too!

LW, the link was posted in his article:  http://www.peta.org/AnimalLiberation/display.asp

I wish that there were some sane animal rights activists out there.  I wish they would concentrate on ethics of treatment instead of trying to make it sound like humans are inferior to all the other animals.  Of course, I still think dogs are better than a lot of humans that I have met...but that's a different discussion......

I've seen the argument made, if I recall the first time was back when I was in college when they made that big push against the dairy industry. I remember them calling it slavery then in ads. I was actually gullible enough at the time to order their imfo package, but not enough to join.

Haven't seen that for a while though. If they compare that to slavery, maybe someone should make a commercial comparing their practices with euthanizing pets to the holocaust...

No, that would take someone as crass and emotionless as them.

No, they weren't thrilled at all about people finding out that 80+ percent of the pets entrusted to them ended up dead in dumpsters.

I'm looking for the commercial on the internet, havent had much luck yet though.

Sorry the link did not work.  I was surfing and found it, and it just sickened me.

Bakerstreet has another epiphany!  Great idea!

Well, after they were busted for throwing dog carcases in trash bins, I dont think they want to bring up that issue (as well as the fact that they euthanize 85% of the strays brought into them - most other organization the rate is about 25-35%).

Doc, at first I was going to write that I was going to go to McDonalds and have the biggest burger they sell. Then I remember PETA was talking about the selling of CATTLE. So I decided to go to a steak house where you can get actual meat and have the biggest steak instead.

Mickey Dees was busted a few years back for selling kangaroo burgers without telling people.

Not that I mind Kangaroo meat, but at least at a steak house, you know it is BEEF!

As soon as mine stops mooing, I tell them to take it off the grill!

People are very quick to demonise PETA without taking into account the whole of their views. Peter Singer suffers the same problem.

Although I don't agree with PETA's views, and I think they should have realised the offense this ad would cause and therefore not published it, you have to take into account their entire world view.

Some people believe that humans and humans alone have a soul. Some people believe that no one has a soul but that humans are above animals. These two categories take up the majority of people.

Others believe that humans and animals both have souls and are therefore equal. Still more believe that no one has a soul but that animals and humans are equal because of their capacity to feel pain and emotion. PETA sees animals and humans as equals. There are quite good arguments in favour of this, even if the majority do not see it the same way. So if they are equal, it is not hard to follow up that cruelty to animals is as bad as cruelty to humans. PETA has a way of overstating their case and getting over-emotional but demonising PETA is no less simplistic than PETA are being. Rise above them Dr Guy. They have a fair amount of misinformation, but they are genuine, concerned people who should be debated with intelligently. At the worst, you will show them up for what you believe them to be.

For an excellent example of a farmer prepared to engage with PETA, see this interview about mulesing with Charles Ollson:

Some people believe that plants have souls, too. What do you suggest we eat, dirt? Oh, wait, don't some people believe in the Earth as an entity, too? Frankly, when respect for beliefs gets in the way of me doing something important as, oh, feeding myself, my respect ends.

I can happily accept that animals have souls, and I still think they are delicious, just as they would happily feed on me. Given most of the PETA types I know are atheists, I find it hard to believe that the 'soul' enters into it much...

I don't call that 'genuine', not in the least. Especially when they show themselves to be dishonest enough to kill and discard 80+ percent of the pets entrusted to them to find homes for.

Don't confuse a belief in God with spirituality.
