I know plenty of vegans and vegetarians. I like to eat vegetarian meals, but I like to eat meat as well. It's a personal choice. Has nothing to do with PETA. I DO know vegetarians who are that way because of PETA though, Yuck, they are going to drive me up the walls crazy.
My biggest pet peeve..no, I can't pick just one... So my biggest pet peeves of PETA... is how much they lie to their own members--We're here because we love pets and cute animals!! Right? No. Say that to the hundreds that die in their walls every year. I know people who surrendered healthy, happy animals to PETA because they were moving and couldn't take their animals--they figured PETA would take the best care of their puppies better than the kill shelters they protested. What did PETA do? Killed her dogs. The animals that die there aren't just the abused ones--or at least abused by our standards. Apparently just being in contact with humans is abuse. So much for loving pets, argh.
My other problem? The scare tactics with children. Standing outside theaters when kids movies open, handing out fliers with puppies on the front, and slaughtered animals on the inside. Handing these out to young, young kids. That's just messed up. Or their whole comic about dads murdering fish.
These comics are awful. It caused a lot of trauma to a lot of young kids. On the inside of the fish one it says "Until your daddy realizes it's not 'fun' to kill, keep your doggies and kitties away from them. He's so hooked on killing defenseless animals they could be next!!!"
I don't think anyone here has to mention all the extreme borderline(or completely) illegal acts members have committed. Sad that so few people know the truth.
