PETA claims that it is working for animals, and that we are the ones abusing animals by eating them, wearing them, and using them for other various purposes. However, according to a recent article over 20,000 animals have been "ut down" by PETA since their launch in 1998.
In addition, during all of 2008 they found homes for merely 7 of the 2,216 animals they took in. Excuse my language but, what the f***? They give us hell for swatting flies, while they kill all the animals that they can't find homes for.
If you read the article, you'll see that they have a budget of $32 million every year, so what happens to that?
Oh, right, they use that to attack us for eating that hamburger. It was probably made using a cow they killed.
That really makes no sense, they don't use that money to help find the animals homes, but for advertising.
So guys what do you think? Does PETA stand for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or does it stand for People Eating Tasty Animals?
I think I know a new name for PETA. Pricks for the Extreme Torture of Animals. There you go, PETA. And accurate to boot. All I'm saying is there a bunch of genocidal hypocrites. End of story.
It doesn't always end in killing the animals or maiming them - after all, the products that are successful are the ones that aren't deadly... as for those early trials on animals... would you rather they did those potentially fatal or disfiguring tests with humans?
If we're going to be the ones using it, I'm almost tempted to say yes. I know, people are going to flip out and say Humans are superior, and that animal testing makes significant advancements in medicine, but I think for things like cosmetics its senseless. Yes, you can have a nice new perfume or whatever from it, but what right do we have to throw away animals lives just because we want to look better? I agree animal testing is the most efficient, possibly even the only way, to find how Humans might react to those products, but I'd prefer not to have those products at all. Medical testing I'm a little less objective to, but its seems rather selfish to sacrifice an animals life for minor improvements in ours.
Well, the PETA hippies are just like the environmentalists - they will always "have a voice" because the only way to truly give in to their demands is to to back to Biblical times. And that's not going to happen any time soon.
It means that the only way that they could truly be happy would be to have everyone live in mud huts and live as vegetarians, among hundreds of other things.
I think animal testing is a great thing it was led to cures or treatment for many diseases (prully arent many diseases that havent gained something from animal testing). I do think animal testing with cosmetics and shit is kind of stupid but they are making sure it isnât going to burn your skin or something. You want them to test them on humans?
Now, I dont really think humans are superior to anything that is alive in the eyes of a god (if there is one). But that is a talk for another time. But it does seem that we are smarter then most things on this planet but really I think of a 'species loyalty'.
