I am so sick of people becoming vegitarian because of "PETA" this bull shit socioty prays one the young and the stupid and it works too. I hate how people jump into a major decision like becoming a vegie without researching it first. Most people become vegitarian as a fassion statement, because its cool to invonvinience everyone. I dont see them having a probelem eating bread, hundreds of animals are killed in grain harvesting.Chck out my online group for more info about why I am so anti PETA. Anti-Peta Page If youre going to be a vegie do it for the right reasons and not just because youre stupid. Now Im going to go eat bacon.

Gullable teens.

oh yes, I aggree that sometimes vegitarianism can be a fashion statement.
I belong to PETA (People for the Eating of Tasty Animals)

The things they say are complete shit. Like where they said. -"Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we�d be against it."- PETA President Ingrid Newkirk, September 1989, Vogue MagazineBecause a few animals dying to save a coupple thousand people with aids isnt worth it. PETA put animal life above human life. I think thats messed up.They are against animal testing to cure illness but their leader doesnt seem to have a problem when she injects her insulin.

Mr. Jingles? :smile: Kant said that "hardness to animals causes hardness to people" (someone else's paraphrase).
Peta is an absolutist organization, and there are usually problems with absolutist people and organizations. A path somewhere in the middle seems reasonable. For instance, it is useful to use animals to find cures for diseases. It is not useful to torture and blind rabbits to test yet another minor shampoo formula change. I would be happy if farm animals in the U.S. were treated the way they are in Europe.
Anyway, I like steak and ribs and lamb chops. But I won't eat American veal.
You might be interested in the book Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin. I don't think Peta would like it, though.
-
What do you mean? Our steak and ribs are good out here...? What's the difference between us and England?
-
Sorry, that was a non-sequitur. I fixxxeded it.

Yeah, I'm not for animal cruilty or anything. JUst giving animals equil rights as humans is rediculess, if PETA had it their way people would be ging into court on charges of murder for hitting a rabbit in thier car. Lamb chops are damn good ^^ Damn you, you have made me hungry! I think i need to go make some bacon and fried egg sandwiches. If youre worried about how the animals you eat are treated in the usa buy organic stuff. The animals are not kept in small pens and all that stuff. My uncle is a farmer and the amimals are treated really well, he sells it for organic meat. They seem pretty happy (until the stun gun hits them ^^). Also I find organic food much better tasting.>Mr. Jingles?Ha ha it was that mouses name off the green mile, it was a really stupid name so I thought I would use it.

Well, I live in Nebraska, so getting good beef is not hard at all... In fact, we usually get half a cow from my uncle, who raises beef cattle. They aren't kept in small pens, and are fed corn along with pellets, and have some pretty big roaming room in some of the fields.
Surprisingly enough \* -
Surprisingly enough *In Nebraska, you don't eat what you don't raise.

Yeah, organisations like PETA show exceptional animal cruilty cases they dont talk about animals who lead a good life. In the video's they show its against the law to treat animals like that so if everyplace was like they show there woulnt be many farms open. They just pray on children and other easlily influenced groups of people. -"Our campaigns are always geared towards children and they always will be"-Dan Matthews, Vice President of PETA on the Fox News Network [December 19, 2003] They try and tell children milk will make them fat. Milk is an important drink while growing up as it is a major source of calcuim. Also if kids turn vegatarian they will not be getting the propper vitamins they need and group up to be frail sickly pussies who cry when a bird hits the powerlines.>In Nebraska, you don't eat what you don't raise. So that gives Nebraskan parents permition to eat their offspring?
-
Milk is an important drink while growing up as it is a major source of calcuim.It seems like every they change their minds. One year milk is good for calves, not humans; the next year it's a good source of calcium. The next year, it'll clog your arteries. I don't even know what they think now.> Also if kids turn vegatarian they will not be getting the propper vitamins they need and group up to be frail sickly pussies who cry when a bird hits the powerlines.There was a South Park episode where the kids are trying to save the calves. Stan gets really sick and comes down with a bad case of "vaginitis", where he broke out in vaginas all over his body because he stopped eating meat. But my cousin is a vegtarian, and she's a healthy, independent 80-year-old.
-
I could do with a few free vaginas all over my body!You can survive from not eating meat but wouldnt it be damaging to a younger persons health as they are growing considering there are things you cant get out of suppliments etc but only out of meat?
-
It's possible to have a fully balanced diet as a vegetarian, but you have to know what you're doing. I know one vegetarian who periodically gets B-vitamin shots. If you're a vegan (no animal products at all--no egss, milk, etc.), then it's even harder.I wouldn't want to have a kid on a vegetarian diet unless I really knew what I was doing.
-
Yeah. Being a vegie seems an awful lot of effort to save merely 7 animals a year. Im sure people could find more productive things to help the environment and people around them rather than spending hours looking for vegatarian sliced ham. If everyone didnt eat meat all the animals would die, were top of the food chain its our job as a part of nature to eat animals. I know alot of vegatarian people who would rather cut off their own arm than eat an animal but dont seem to have any issues with makeing human beings lives misserable. I think there are more important problems in life people should focus on than if your sandwich has any meat in it.
-
This is a very complicated issue with a simple answer. Stop making not eating meat so fashionable. People do it simply to say they do not use animal products. I am fine with all the people that decided to go vegetarian on their own decision, but for those who do it for the look, they need to die.
-
I think its so fassionable because wet flannel brainless celebreties do it, just like the celebreties who protest the war because loud noises make them cry. As soon as somone famous does somthing all the cool kids are doing it, people are incapable of making their own mind up about things it seems.
-
Dude meat eating all the way!

peta-sucks.com is a better site

Although I'm not a vegitarian (I only like a few select meats) I could live without eating any meat (but I can only go so long before I say Fuck it, I wanna burger!). But that's just me.... I just happen to really love veggies ^_^ But I do not think that eating meat is bad or horrible in any way. Animals were put here for a reason and that reason is for us to eat them. Animals = food and that's how it's always going to be. PETA can shove it for all I care.

Ha ha the hatemail section is great. It just shows how truely stupid PETA's supporters are.
