Down with peta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST WONDERFUL!!!! has now decided that tortoises are bad pets and should banned as they are "aggressive". They might as well add in that goldfish are aggresive bloodthirsty monsters.

I dunno about you but my betta fish was pretty intense .

the other day we were being harassed at a train station by a peta member with a bunch of flyers. She kept asking 'do you love animals? do you love animals?' and when we ignored her she gave us a dirty glare like she was putting a curse on us and muttered under her breath as she walked away. I've adopted and rescued/rehomed plenty of different animals and given them great homes; i don't think I need some angry fanatic who probably doesn't even like most of the animals I own telling me her BS. Besides the fact that their entire organization is corrupt, they need to learn that they'll attract more bees with honey rather than angry and rude behavior.

They don't believe in using honey. They say that it's a "stolen product." Not kidding you.

PETA comes up with some stuff that is not only unbelievable, but unbelievably funny. (as George Carlin said, unintentional humor is the best)

Check out the Sea Kittens. Whoever thought that one up had to be drinking the bong water.

PETA is a collective of fantatical hypocrites. Sometimes their insane ramblings and shananigans produce some results that could be construed as positive, but most of the time they just kill animals and promote eco-terrorism as well as infringe on our rights.

What I see in PETA is a bunch of people who want to micromanage other people's behaviors and aren't afraid to use illegal means to do it.

Sure, there are decent folks in PETA, but they're the kind of decent folks who will fall in lockstep with loonies.

I'm like this--if PETA folks don't want to eat meat or honey or wear leather or fur or whatnot, good on them. If they want to impose these restrictions on me, they can vacation in Hades.

One of the dumber things they do is throwing paint on fur coats. Not only is it vandalism, but what happens when a fur coat gets ruined this way? You call your insurance company, they settle on your claim and now the nasty fur farmer kills more cute little animals to make you a replacement fur coat.

Now, just because they don't believe in using honey, does not make them bad(or crazy). I know plenty of people who do not believe in using animal products, (honey being one of them) and these are not fanatical people. They just don't want to use products that come from animals. It is a personal belief and what people choose to consume or use should not be the basis on which they are judged, if they are to be judged at all.

Now, PETA on the other hand is a whole different thing. There ARE good people in that organization that joined because they truly wanted to help animals. Unfortunately the organization is run by people who think that their way is the only way. They are passionate, even fanatical in their war on cruelty and they take it too far. Refusing to eat meat because of factory farm practices, great. Not wearing fur because of the cruelty involved in housing and skinning those animals, fine. Believing it isn't right to consume, use, or wear ANY animal products, that's wonderful. Shoving said beliefs down people's throats and harassing, them, I don't think so.
