People are "against" PETA because PETA does zany, wild, attention-grabbing stuff. And, they say insane shit sometimes. But I do give to the ASPCA :D coz i like :apaw: critters.

Does the Christian Children's Fund tone of the new ASPCA commercials bother anyone?

Maybe we should censor them!

Even though I support animal rights/welfare groups, I sometimes think that its pointless, especially after witnessing responses like the ones posted here. So many people love to be against PETA without considering how just its presence is an important reminder that humans need to take care with how they use and consume the other inhabitants they share this planet with. Unfortunately, I think as a species, humans act just like a virus and they will keep cosuming/destroying this world until there is nothing left.

Thanks Pico. :)

As Agent Smith said in "The Matrix," "...I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure..."

Not that I agree with that totally, but I certainly do in part.

The Matrix was a brilliant movie. There are so many quotes from it and just the whole concept of people being 'asleep' their whole lives says so much about human beings.

The person I saw for counselling last year often brought it up during discussions about people's points of view and what might be their motivations.

yepperaroo. The time is NOW. Be in the NOW. Live each moment IN the moment, as if it is your last. (Not that I always do that. It's incredibly hard to be fully awake and mindful.)

yeh - spend every dime you have every day. Do not care what the world will be like in the future. Be the ultimate in selfishness. WTF?

How did you get THAT from what I said? I was talking about being completely present, vs living in the past or the future. I wasn't talking about not taking steps to insure you HAVE a future...

*heavy sigh*

You have to read each post for all possible meanings,...

...and that is why.

Michael Vick to become PETA spokesman.

The ex-NFL superstar - who is serving prison time for funding an illegal dog-fighting ring - is in talks to do public service ads for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, AdAge.com reports.

The new gig is part of a comprehensive PR attempt to transform the disgraced quarterback's image -- and possibly get him re-admitted to the NFL.

Hahahaha

Do you think he will be able to do it with a straight face?

Of course. It is his chance to kill even more dogs.

I am convinced that PETA is a massive IRL troll.
