PETA makes the news again !

Once again my favorite whipping boy PETA makes the news.

This one might concearn them a bit.

"PETA kills nearly 80% of its animals"

If this is true...this is extremely sad. Not to mention I get the feeling they think they are doing a good thing by killing these animals and dumping them. Makes no sense. Furthermore, if this is true why has not PETA been blown wide open as to what they really are and how they operate?

I thought Penn and Teller already exposed those nutcases? I knew about that factoid from one of their shows. I guess like some radicals, if they do it, it's ok.

Subject should read "PETA makes the news again... four years ago."

When PETA does something useful, that would be a news story!

SteamWake · 03-24-09, 02:25 PM

Seems they object to killing virtual dogs

Double standard?

Peta is such a a** backwards organisation.:rotfl: Would be funny if people where to catch some people from peta playing COD WAW shooting dogs.

Ill never take people from Peta seriously.

Ah... PETA bashing. Its all good and fun for us, but is there anyone who objects to this? I would like to hear your opinions on the whole thing.

Last time I checked, we don't have any stupid people in this forum, so it is all good and fun for all of us.

I did not get to the top of the food chain to eat lettuce.

I used to love cabbage, but I don't think I'll ever be able to eat it again

One of my favorite sayings, though I use a different wording; "I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat like a rabbit"

Really, if you take a look at our bodies, we are meant to be omnivorous. I don't understand why they can't explain our canines at all.

NeonSamurai · 04-07-09, 10:21 PM

Having canines is not proof positive of omnivorous (or carnivorous) diet, there are several animals that have canines way larger then ours (and larger then several predators) that are purely herbivores (gorillas and Pandas of the top of my head). Our canines also serve no purpose (other then maybe a threat display but even then they are tiny).

We are also not very efficient at digesting meat compared to a carnivore (and several omnivores). What we are really is purpose built scavengers, this also helps explain why many human cultures like their meat "aged". We can also thrive on a purely vegetarian diet which is not a bad thing if meat is scarce or no existent, it may prove to be an essential ability as human numbers outstrip our ability to produce food which we are getting close to (many would say we are already past that point) with out cutting back on meat production and shifting their diet away from human edible food.
