An animal rights group wants the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach to gut its cafeteria menu of fish and seafood, arguing that "serving fish at an aquarium is like serving poodle burgers at a dog show."

Don't these people have anything better to do with their time? I mean, I've had fish as pets before but that damn sure didn't make me feel bad about eating Seafood on occasion.

Terrible. Do they want us all to be vegetarians or what?

No they don't, actually. Also, according to PETA, any animal being kept as a pet is a 'slave'. So in PETA's perfect world, there ARE no pets.

No Mr. Bond, they expect you to die.

Anyways, PETA. bolling

(silly pictures)

In PETA's perfect world, there are no humans.

They're worse than furries.

Those PETA freaks creep me out.
Next they'll start complaining to lions and wolves, beacouse they kill their prey with inhumane ways (They grab the animal's nose/trunk/neck and choke them, and often eat them alive)

Jeez guys. There are more freaks out there than just furries and pervs. Diversify, why don't you?

Incorrect. Many PETA members keep pets (generally cats or dogs rescued from the Human Society), some even keep horses and other large animals.

In PETA's perfect world, there are no humans.

They're worse than furries.

Also incorrect. Humans are animals and so should have rights, just like the other animals. Members of PETA just don't directly focus on them.

(I'm aware that this might be a joke.) No. Unlike humans, wolves and lions have no humane options. They want humans to treat non-humans in the fashion they deem to be right because unlike the rest of kingdom, we're capable of it.


Jeez guys. There are more freaks out there than just furries and pervs. Diversify, why don't you?

I'm not agreeing with PETA. I don't support them, but I know people who do, and do take the time to listen to their ideas. All I'm doing is clearing up misinformation.

Man. You call yourselves laid back and open (or just unconcerned with) to critics, but one person presents the facts about a view point which they don't even hold and you attack them?

Here's a few more lovely tidbits about PETA...

-PETA's president is on record saying exactly what I'd paraphrased earlier - animals being kept as pets are "slaves", and nobody has the right to 'own' an animal.

-PETA is completely against any animal testing, going so far as to claim that medical tests on animals can't even be used to help humans. Yet one of the more high-ranking members of PETA relies on Insulin to control her diabetes. Note, of course, that Insulin was discovered through animal testing, and is still derived from animal products. The PETA member's justification? "I need MY life to help fight for the rights of animals."

-PETA claims to 'save' animals. Yet, on average, 2/3rds of the animals 'rescued' annually are killed. "Sometimes, the only humane option is to put an animal to sleep forever", says PETA's prez.

-PETA's tax records have shown large donations to aid a young man who pled guilty to firebombing a laboratory where animal testing was taking place.

For the record, I hate PETA. I can't stand them.

That doesn't mean I don't like animals. I'd just prefer to support sane organizations like the Humane Society or the SPCA. People who abuse animals should go to prision, and so should people who break into testing facilities and firebomb universities in the name of 'animal liberation'.

(stuff that makes sense)

There is plenty of reason to be against these groups. ALF, ELF, its criminal. But if you think they are out there bayonetting babies and cutting your brake lines cause you ate a hamburger - You're a fucking idiot. What else can really be said?

Nothing to do with that, it's just that you do seem to have predictable reaction whenever someone questions, or critasizes PETA. Mostly I find your reactions to be overblown, if not outright hilarious.

Besides getting stressed out over stuff like that is pointless.
Try to responsed with a more civil manner, and maybe I'll just stop pushing your buttons, like all the rest of us PETA critics seem to do all of the time.

They hold dumbass protests to "Save Bessie the Cow" or some other shit.

First of all, a cow has to be pregnant to produce milk, so the milk cow in it's entire life is pregnant over and over until it can no longer become inseminated, being milked pretty much 24/7 while pregnant and between pregnancies, the milk suckers sometimes rending flesh off the utters(doesnt happen to often), blood, puss... But hey, Milk does a body Good.

Outside of all that, I don't drink milk cause theres no point. Milk is for infants. Literally. As an adult, I choose to drink beer, bourbon, scotch, water and pop. (Tho the last two are interchangable..) in that order -- End of list :)

"Pop." Oh you silly backwards New Englanders. :)

Think about it ö_ö What kind of perv it was who first time thought of drinking milk anyway? "Oh, lookie! There's something white coming out of the cow boob! Let's drink it!" *kough* ew.

yeah right, pop is the real word! its everyone else thats wrong.. soda is like club soda , or baking soda. (Also caustic soda - the cleaning agent that goes into older engine block washing tanks, they also I think use it in coke ovens for making steel)

pop is a carbonated, flavored beverage. Its much more specific that saying soda. yall ask for soda round these here parts, yer gettin club soda. Not cause they wouldn't know what you mean, but purely out of spite, id think.... At least thats what I would do anyway :)

Cookies without milk. Has the whole world gone mad?!

No dairy products means no ice cream. You'll take my chocolate, pistachio, coffee banana splits away when ya pry em from my cold dead hands!

Groups like PETA and others have their hearts in the right place, but many take it too far. They hold dumbass protests to "Save Bessie the Cow" or some other shit. They scream and screech when they see someone wearing leather and go into conniptions when they see someone eating meat. A few people go to extreme lengths, like the ones IceCat talked about.

They may seem wacky, but I think they're mostly harmless.

EDIT: As for the Animal Liberation Front and alt.lifestyle.furry, they may want to bring humans and animals closer, but it's in completely different ways.

PETA has a bad habit for employing ridiculous publicity stunts like having campaigns with bored college girls dress up in tiger body suits in cages to protest wild cats in zoos or people running down streets naked to protest the running of the bulls in Spain.

This doesn't do anything to change public perceptions, it just ends up as humorous filler on CNN to break the monotony of reporting on the daily suicide bombings. Having a spokesperson like Pamela Anderson bringing to light the plight of chickens before being deep-fried at KFC only elicits a roll-your-eyes reaction in Joe and Jane sixpack in tv land. Their rabid stance on vegan lifestyles is absurd.

If they would quit employing goofy stunts to grab more airtime and earned the respect of the public, they could do a lot more good. As it is, they just end up shooting everybody in the foot.
