And why is this bad?

uhh....


Despite its constant moralizing about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, PETA has killed over 14,400 dogs and cats at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2005, PETA put to death over 90 percent of the animals it collected from members of the public.

See the hypocrisy?

thank you for agreeing pearljgirl. this is really apointless debate and a PETA is a pointless cause. everbody seems to forget that the root of the word "humane" is "human", not cow or chicken. the big difference between humans and these types of animals is cognative reasoning. neither a cow or chicken can think beyond basic animal instinct, such as food, shelter, protect the young, reproduce, ect. their brains do not have the capacity to think, boy this owner treats me like shit. nor do their brains have the capacity to feel pain like we do. furthermore, people will never stop eating meat entirely. as a supporter of vegans said earlier, "we are a civilization". therefore we will do what we need to survive as a group. farmers depend on selling their cattle, ect. to survive. and think about this, say we quit slaughtering cattle for a couple years. where would they all go. slaughter is a form of population control. cows aren't on the endangered species list last i checked. thank you for listening.

free tibet!!!

Thats is untrue. Like humans animals too can feel pain. Like i said in my earlier post humans are constantly evolving unlike animals. A lot of things have changed. We have invented words like 'ethics'. We have learned to be tolerant to one-anothers culture. We have abolished slavery and slowly forgetting racism. We have made laws and respect human rights. Recently some people have decided to take up the plight of animals. We are changing, some faster than others. Slowly but steadily we are getting there.

Are you outraged by this? Do you think we have gone too far?
Yesterday's unacceptable (divorce, premarital sex, abortion, homosexuality, group sex, domestic partnerships and, soon, same-sex marriage) are today's acceptable. It's just a matter of conditioning.

Whether you are a vegetarian or you eat meat the most important thing is that you are a good person. I feel we are all good people on this board (one of PJs best qualities is its fans IMO)!

No, i am not outraged by this. but animal farming is a huge part of our economy. and i realize that animals can feel pain, but animals with such small brains, such as cows and chickens, do not process pain the same way that humans do. all i am saying is that we should focus more on human rights. is that unacceptable. are you aware of what goes on in tibet? or even in this country (sex slaves, ect.)?

furthermore, if slaughter completely ceased, what would happen to animal populations? there wouldn't be enough room on earth for everyone. what is your solution, have them fixed? is that "humane"?

PearlJamFanatic

yes tibet is very close to a lot of us. We live next to them and support them. We have fought wars with china over tibet and refuge monks (incl his holiness dalai lama).
