Just when you thought you heard it all...PETA tops the cake!

I read this on FoxNews.com.

It is about PETA targeting children with comics telling them that their daddy's are ritualistic killers of animals. Do they have any shame?

PETA just needs to die.

[Goose]

The handout, titled "Your Daddy Kills Animals," features a grinning lunatic gutting a fish, and warns kids to keep their puppies and kittens away from Dad because he's "hooked on killing."
Wonderful use of scare tactics. I wonder if these people believe in natural selection.

[Oi_Ve]

PETA would do well to remember that the only reason that we don't eat dogs and cats (at least in this country) and we do eat fish is because I have yet to eat a dog that tasted as good as a freshly caught fish, and thus there is no market for them.

But I have NO qualms about eating ANY animal (save an endangered species or a bald eagle, but even then, the damn thing is already dead, so I might as well honor its sacrifice), be it dog, cat, fish, manatee, bat, snake....whatever.

You find me a dog that tastes as good as fish and I'll cook it, spice it, and serve it with a vegatable!

Wonder what PETA would say to that?

I didn't realize that dude...I thought it was something new.

I couldn't eat a dog. A dog is a man's best friend.
I tend to draw a line at animals I consider intelligent. So, I wouldn't eat dogs, cats, Chimpanzees, or dolphins (knowingly). I consider eating an intelligent animal kind of like cannibalism.

[Schmitty27]

I've always wanted to try dolphin. Shark and swordfish are both good, so dolphin probably wouldn't be too far off. The only kind of tuna I eat is 100% dolphin unsafe. :icon_mrgr

I don't trust the information PETA, since a story my dad told me, I realize much of their info is probably distorted.

You see, my dad was in the Army for 27 years. And for a very shot time in his early military career, he worked at a military science university. The university had a very strange name, I can't remember the acronym but it was pronounced 'yoos-yoos'. This university had done testing on animals, specifically goats. My dad's job was basically to gather up certain goats (which he has horror stories about because of their resistance and their kicking), and administer to them an anesthetic before testing. After testing procedures were over, he took the goats and insterted a little bit of green dye. The dye gave the goats that were tested a light-green shade so farmers know which goats were tested on.
Anyways, one day my dad was on a cargo plane delivering equipment for 'yoos-yoos'. A young lady who worked for the airlines began to discuss work with my dad. She asked him where he worked, and he responded, naming the acronym that I can't remember... She jumped and said, "YOU WORK FOR 'YOOS-YOOS'!?" And my dad was very surprised to see that she knew what 'yoos-yoos' was. So, he asked, "who do you work for?" And she just claimed she worked for the airlines, but as they kept discussing the subject it turned out she was a member of PETA.
She claimed that the university tortured animals, that they didn't give them painkillers, and claimed they conducted certain expiriments that never really occured. But, all of the animals were under anesthetic, and no cruel expiriments were done. After explaining the real procedure, she stormed off crying...

I am not saying that we should torture animals, but if experimenting on them helps human life, what can I say...they are just animals. PETA just has taken something that was once meaningful (not to torture animals) and hell bent it to the extreme. All liberal organizations do that.

[Raver]

Personally, I believe that PETA has a good cause, but is going about it in a HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, INACCURATE, LEFT-WINGED-UP way.

I have a liberal friend who is a member of PETA. I talked to her about this a few weeks ago when FOX first aired the story. I have saved both copies of Mommy Kills Animals and Daddy Kills Animals to my computer for references. She said that the douchebaggery of PETA is due to the new president of said organization. Apparently, the president is so radically left that even a Pinko Commie hippy is displeased with her (haha, I love my friend).

[Madcowhunter]

Raver, I don't think PETA is a good orginization perioid. They are not all just about stopping animal cruelty. They are trying to turn everyone into vegetarians.... I think that is dumb no matter how they try and act it out.

[RightisRightLeftisWrong]

Actually dude that was a different story. I looked.

Oh yea I relized that to its similar but I just woke up from a nap so I was half asleep.

I couldn't get the link, but PETA has gone overboard a long, long time ago. They have become cartoons themselves.

[Bumblebee]

You have a freind in PETA!? How can you stand her?
Actually, MC, I do know quite of few vegetarians, and they do eat healthy, without meat. They are a pain in the butt, when you invite them for a thanksgiving meal, or any dinner party. You need to make a special plate for them.

[Dagummit]

When I went home for Thanksgiving, one of my cousins is dating some chick that is a vegetarian. I was like, "how can you be both Southern and a vegetarian? That is just as wrong as two boys kissing..."

[Oi_Ve]

Amen to that, brother.

LOL you should of said "Guess who's girlfreind is at the bottom of the food chain?"

True, you are correct about that. I was refencing to the stopping animal cruelty thing. However, converting people to vegetarianism is wrong. People can choose to be vegetarian if they want to, just don't shove your dogmatic "holier-than-thou"ism down my throat at Christmas Dinner, hippies.

I also believe that fighting for animal cruelty is almost in vain, other than domestic cases with pets and some livestock. Most of the animal cruelty that PETA protests happens overseas in China. Tell you what, PETA, Air Force 1 will accept your request and drop "Your Mommy Kills Animals" pamphlets, translated into Chinese, in China for you.

Okay, so here I am browsing through that great site "Guide to the Political left" and there on the front is a thingy about Igrid Newkirk the co founder of PETA. So I click on that and read a few things about this woman.
"Probably everything we do is a publicity stunt ... we are not here to gather members, to please, to placate, to make friends. We're here to hold the radical line."
Newkirk has supported Peter Singer's defense of bestialitySo about this time I'm starting to wonder just who this woman is linked to. Hmmmm, visual map time. Oh what's this Earth Liberation Front? Hmmmm and who are they linked to? What's this, Greenpeace. Ah the plot thickens. So lets just do a quick glance at Greenpeace. Wow, "Young Communist League", "Viet Nam vets against the war", Al-Awda (Palestine right to Return Coalition", "Code Pink", "War Resisters League", "DISARM Education Fund", "Not in our Name", "Democratic Socialist of America", "International Socialist Organization", and the list goes on and on and on.

One thing I wonder. Why are the Rockefeller Brothers contributing money? They're part of the Rockefeller Foundation, you know the ones that own the land the UN sits on.
