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 &quotut 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?

basically they are for not harming animals in cruel ways and therefore they are "boycotting" in effect meats. That is basically it.


I always thought that shooting a cow in the back of the head was pretty painless. I guess PETA doesn't think so. I think the ASPCA does a much better job because they actually DO something about it. And only abuse, not painless execution.

well probably because its inhumane to them. Personally I don't care where my meat comes from as long as there is no cancers or weird stuff in it.

Well, not really. It's inhumane to roast them alive. What does amaze me though is humanities ability to slaughter other animals without a care in the world, but seeming difficulty to kill each other. It's sorta weird to me.
