do they honestly think all these farm land animals feel grateful? i mean, of course they don't, because as long as i know, animals haven't really developed a sense of feelings here's what i think, people in peta just go out and perform insane niceties towards animals in order to remove whatever guilt they feel it's nothing more than a self-serving act, beneficial mainly to you, you're feeding the ethical part of your brain with all this animal saving, making yourself feel good because you saved another life, and since people are harder to save than all this helpless fodder, they stick to the cows and chickens, while the actual 'problem' remains unresolved, animal cruelty they work up a huge storm of controversies over these animals who for all we know, are living a short yet luxurious life consisting of stuffing themselves then feeding those higher up on the food chain, us perhaps, no, i'm sure there's some deeper unresolved problem i didn't touch upon, but that's the basic gist of it, my take on it i mean opinions?

Doesn't PETA actually kill more strays than they actually send to adoption centers?

You also do know animals have been abused longer then any group of people in history right and still get abused today? I am all for you being against PETA I think its wrong that they stand up against animal abuse and that they pass laws to prevent animal abuse such as drowning kittens when you can not take care of them and so on. I also believe we should be able to kill any animal we want and PETA is against that also and passed laws to protect animals that are endangered or considered pets.

What we fail to grasp, is that animals do not have the same thought processes as us. We watch all these cartoons, where animals are given thoughts and voices. That is NOT the mind of an animal, truly, and bluntly, the sole purpose of any living organism is to survive, and reproduce, so that more of its descendants may be borne into the world, perhaps born with a mutation, or an adaptation, that will help them survive better. Humans, simply take more pleasure in life.

That's what PETA claims to support. In reality they just annoy people and do jack squat. They try to tell producers to use breast milk for ice cream to "save cows". They compared chicken eating to the holocaust. PETA is like the catholics back in the day when they claimed they were holy but sold indulgences. EDIT:@wil61891: Yessir i'm from a bham suburb.

I don't really believe in that. I believe that if you try your hardest there will always be a way to succeed no matter what, even if it just looks like you'll fail. If you don't have a chance to win at first, then make a chance for yourself. That's probably just me being optimistic though.

He was responding to my saying that Peta claims that the slaughter of Jews during the Holocaust is comparable to the barbecuing of chickens. They are logically and morally bankrupt. They are a disgusting group that has tried to shatter the difference between murder, abuse and torture.

Yes using breast milk to save cows is a good idea to protect cows and also is way more healthy so not sure what you think is a negative or even a argument against them. Anyways though what I said still stands and everyone who is against PETA supports those things I said so that is also a good thing.

Not that, of course, humans aren't selfish isn't true, but it's also kinda funny to see such rage at a group for having beliefs. Sure, Peta's crazy, but, does it really matter, on a personal, everyday life scale? I wouldn't bother answering that anyway
