Not perfect...they are far from it. The idea behind it is noble as are some of the actions, but as with many of these types of groups, they end up going crazy on us.
That's exactly it...they have good intentions and are based upon a great cause, but they are having a really difficult time distinguishing the line of going too far.7/2/06 - Denver, CO

flies??????????? people have lost their minds.
peta has become a marginal organization and they now need to resort to "shock" to maintain relevance.live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.0 -
PETA's done a lot of good. check out their wiki page.
i don't agree with everything they do, but most of what they've done has been a positive step for animal rights.
A University was testing car accident injuries on monkey's...they used to take a hammer to a live monkey's skull to test fractures and things like that-PETA put a stop to that.0 -
i understand their intentions were and have been for good reasons.........it just seems that all i hear about now is for idiotic reasons. i could be wrong.......but when they are concerned with flies it negates many of their causesCommy wrote:PETA's done a lot of good. check out their wiki page.

shit.........as a kid i used to tap flies with a swatter, just enough to stun them, and then i would locate a spider and toss it on the web...watch the fly bounce around and then the observe the spiders enjoyment.

if putting up with PETA's fly saving campaign means monkeys wont' get their skulls bashed in with hammers, i'm all for it.Post edited by Commy on0 -

Sometimes it takes extreme gestures to realize that animals give their sacrifice. I think twice about my relationships with our four legged and marsipial friends since being exposed to PETA, but a while back it came to my attention that we as Humans, sometimes need fluids to live by, in such cases as Diabetes, or even a rattlesnake bite. I only hope and pray that people who are in the field, appreciate and love the sacrifice that is made by our friends. If one would say, " I am selecting you with high respect and forgiveness, because you are part of me and one day, I will be part of you. But because of your generosity, today may not be that day."
If nothing else, but to give thanks.
If someone is cruel to animal, they are certain to be cruel in other realms...peace.all insanity:

I heard PETA's getting on Obama's case for swatting that fly during his interview. It's a fucking FLY!!! It's not like you can take it home with you, pet it and name it Charles.

WASHINGTON – The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.
PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.
"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."
During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.
"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.
"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."
Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.
Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."
Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter.11/6/95, 11/18/97, 7/13/98, 7/14/98, 10/24/00, 10/25/00, 10/28/00, 6/2/03, 6/3/03, 6/5/03, 7/6/06, 7/7/06, 7/9/06, 7/10/06, 7/13/06, 7/15/06, 7/16/06, 7/18/06, 10/21/06, 4/10/08, 4/13/08, 9/30/09, 10/1/09, 10/6/09, 10/7/09, 10/9/090 -
When I opened this thread I really thought it was going to be all about the fly, but I remember this little bit of info coming out about PETAs really high kill rate. It's true the members of PETA can be very passionate and sometimes extream and criminal. Overcrowding is a major problem, (I mainly blame humans for this.) but it seems ass backwards that they would put down so many animals for this reason. There are extremists in everything but sometimes they go to damn far. Doesn't a fly live for like 3 days? My karmic loop hole is to bless them to a higher existence thru prayers

Our shelter doesn't have money for a vet on staff, xray machine, and many other things that are vital to a shelter, but we make do with what we have. I can guarantee you right now that if we had the budget that PETA has we'd probably have a 0% euthanasia rate.
It's funny that this thread is on here today because I had a really fucked up day because I had to euthanize a cat(at the end of the day to top it off) who about 5 days ago was a healthy cat. I felt really bad about doing it, and when I went to euthanize him he gave me a pitiful meow, and it broke my fucking heart. When I got home and told the story to someone else I couldn't help but cry. If our shelter had PETA's budget we could have saved that cat, but instead I come home feeling like a horrible person thinking that there may have been something else I could do(even though in reality, I could do nothing because our budget doesn't allow it). So fuck PETA for making me feel like a shitty person, and shame on them for spending their money foolishly. They should be ashamed.
Was waiting to see if someone from a shelter would be here and sorry to hear about the kitty. I hope you have less and less of that need in the future and that there was more I could do for you. I've known several people who work in shelters and for vets and almost all of them are there for the right reasons. Many are simply overwhelmed.
About 8 yrs old- the neighbor's stray had three kittens during winter... Another neighbor boy said "LOOK!" and the jackass drop kicked one. :shock: :evil: My fist was in his face and my foot in his ass faster than he knew what to do with. I picked up all the kitties tucked them in my coat and told him not to fuck with me or cats again or I'd beat his ass worse. Luckily, life worked out that day. When I told mom what happened she for once agreed to something and let all three stay.0 -

if i have to put up with them being concerned about flies if it means monkeys won't get hit on the head with hammers anymore, i'll take it. small price to pay.
Except every moment, uslessly spent bitching about fly swatting or fish throwing is a wasted moment that could have been spent trying to stop monkeys from getting hit in the head with hammers (or any other actual form of animal cruelty). It also kills their credibility, so that if tomorrow they were to issue a press release about something important (like monkeys getting hit with hammers) more people would dismiss it as more crazy crap from PETA.0 -

Before founding PETA, Newkirk was chief of animal-disease control and director of the animal shelter in the District of Columbia.[76] She has said that she was shocked by the way the animals were treated in the shelter, and by the methods used to euthanize them. She told Michael Specter of The New Yorker: "I went to the front office all the time, and I would say, "John is kicking the dogs and putting them into freezers." Or I would say, "They are stepping on the animals, crushing them like grapes, and they don't care." In the end, I would go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself. Because I couldn't stand to let them go through that. I must have killed a thousand of them, sometimes dozens every day. Some of those people would take pleasure in making them suffer. Driving home every night, I would cry just thinking about it. And I just felt, to my bones, this cannot be right."[80]
The nerve of her.ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you.

I remember when Steve Irwine was killed by that stingray a PETA rep. was on CNN saying that they were glad this guy died because of the torture he carried out on animals in their natural envoriment. Do these douche bags not realize that humans are the most powerful animals on earth? If they care so much for animals then they wouldnt make stupid statements like "I'm glad this guys 2 kids will grow up without an animal abusing father." Dingleberrys. Lets hunt PETA supporters for food!0

Yeah was a real dumbass thing to say about Irwin....torture???? What the fuck.....he didn't torture any animal...yeah he momentarily captured a fair number of animals in order to EDUCATE...yes, it was a commercial TV show....but he believed in educating, and that is what he did by introducing millions of kids and adults to the real living world around us. If he captured a croc and relocated it....was more likely to extend the croc's life..otherwise they were probably going to be killed as a nuisance or as sport. PETA don't know jack-shit about no "natural environment" if they believe in turning minks in a mink farm loose wherever they maybe or returning chickens/cows to the wild. Idiots.All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.

whatever the details, i'm glad PETA is around. they may be wasting their time, but that' isn't always the case. i think its about sensationalism, the very popular president swats a fly, they try to save the flys, trying to stay relevant, even if its a worthless cause.Kel Varnsen wrote:

the number one ingredient in all meat products is cruelty, and that needs to change. and it won't without groups like PETA running around/.0
