PETA is so fucking stupid and anyone a part of it, sorry for just to randomly being saying this but im watching this thing on tv, about it. and just went to there website.. there trying to compare the way nazis treated jews to the way we treat animals.. Penn and Teller = bullshit, are doing a special on it.. its quite hilarious how stupid some people are

I do think it's kinda stupid how people get so freaked out about the cruelty to animals... yes it's bad, but do these people not notice how cruel PEOPLE are treated in many places in the world?

to me it almost seems like a slap in the face to all those people who are being tortured and mistreated in the world that all these animal rights organizations actually exist...

yeah that's it. don't try to solve any problem in the world unless you're solving ALL of them at the same time.

that's exactly what i think; why the hell can't these animal lovers see that some people are being treated just as bad. silly.

what kind of reasoning is that? that really baffles me.
plus that animals do not have the power to take responsibility over their own situation, which places the responsibility firmly in our court.

why can't people do something about the wrongs being done to people?
I'm not saying that I think it's fine to kill off animals or whatever, I'm just saying that if I have money to donate, it's going to Amnesty International or something...

well if you compare it to famine and war there's little you can do about it from your home. taking some kind of action is better then just giving money. in any case it shouldnt be an argument to not do anything
im against most peta like forms of actions btw, you shouldnt fight vionlence with violence

PETA has some good points. i don't think there is a need for fur anymore. some animal cruelty could be avoided. i live in texas where its legal to screw animals. but you can go to jail for booty sex with a human.

I agree with gack. but, still, we're killing animals and some animals are destined to certain exstinction because of the way we are treating them and their habitats. people aren't, at least not in the near future.

When people are being mistreated around the world, it's because their governing body and their political views.
When animals are mistreated around the world, it's because we want to digest their muscle tissue or suck their tits.

Yep, I got into a huge row with my ex over the fact that governments shouldn't give money to abused animal charities whilst there are children being abused in need of help.
Unless it has a direct affect on our foodchain/ecosystem/survival, it is fairly secondary IMO. Ensuring a pet dog (which would not exist if we didn't keep them, ultimately for our entertainment/enjoyment) is not abused is nowhere near as important as preventing cruelty to human beings.
Don't get me wrong- I don't condone animal cruelty in the slighest. I just think we should look after our own first and foremost.

the goal of PETA is to make people aware of animal cruelty and Raintube helped them with it

Anyone see Baraka? I love the part where they juxtapose the chicken factory with the time-lapse rush hour pedestrian traffic- Brilliant! Shows what a karma sucking hell-hole industrail farming is, but I sure love me some bbq'ed chicken wings!

It upsets me how animal charities are diverting funds from humanitarian causes. Lets deal with the animals after we have looked after all the people.
