chirp Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 We can't fucking manage our own species, lets help those who really can't help themselves. Fuck anyone from Wilkeson. PETA Rocks Quote

griz Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 PETA goes too far and they live with thier head up thier asses. I'd happily kill a couple thousand cute, fuzzy white rabbits in a lab if it means there is a cure or treatment waiting for my friends or family when they need it. It sucks ,for sure, but that is the bottom line for me. My advice is to go and watch a relative die of cancer and see if your opinion changes. PETA SUCKS. Quote
chirp Posted April 10, 2004 Author Posted April 10, 2004 Cancer and Aids, my opinion still wont waver. Most people cause their own afflictions and if the end result is cancer or other terminal disease...well cest la vie. I love my meat too so I consider myself fairly well balanced, just a wee bit on the misanthropic side. Ed Abbey hit the nail on the head in Down the River and in Desert Solitare.

griz Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 Most people cause their own afflictions Good point...I'll be sure to tell the next 6 year old kid dying of leukemia that it's her fault... Quote
chirp Posted April 10, 2004 Author Posted April 10, 2004 You seem a little grumpy griz? Man, didnt meant to rain on yer parade. Its all about balance, pure and simple. We cannot change the world but working within each of our little spheres we can do what we can to empower ourselves and those touching our sphere. I cant help the little kid dying of cancer, but if i see a dude abusing a dog or elderly person, or little kid, I can sure raise my voice, step in and make a difference.

You CAN help that little kid... by not supporting groups like PETA that lobby against the use of animals for medical research and then making medical researchers jobs even more difficult. If you see a dog,person or kid being abused then call the cops, ya know? And,no, not grumpy... just a topic I have a strong opinion on... I'll take family over bunnies any day. Later... Quote

Agreed, just make not of the original notation regarding Wilkeson. Animal testing has a definite place in the diagnosing and curing of diseases but I'm talking about useless cruelty and stupidity, PETA does an awesome job going after Zoos, farms and such. Just a topic I feel strongly about... People rate a little bit less on my scale. Quote

chirp Posted April 11, 2004 Author Posted April 11, 2004 I thought it was all about the chocolate? vegan easter baskets? i'm sorry, but wtf is easter without hardboiled eggs? Not Easter? Quote
Gordonb Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 Obiviously Chirp you don't feel very strongly about it. Peta is against companion animals. Peta is extreme and should be shunned. Quote
chirp Posted April 11, 2004 Author Posted April 11, 2004 Within every set of beliefs, we all have "vices", exceptions and double standards. The concepts are there and valid, but alas there are some that are not. I take what I can use, BBQ the rest. Someone needs to be extreme, because that usually balances out the rest. PETA may go to far but like alot of "extreme" orgaizations, right or wrong they raise consiousness or awareness. I asked Jumar what she thought of being a companion and she wholeheartedly agreed that we were meant for eachother...its actually more of a Father/Daughter relationship. I dont condone chipping () but i'll climb a chipped route...as most of us would. Lets move on Quote
Figger_Eight Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 If we weren't meant to eat animals, then steak wouldn't taste so good. Quote
Fairweather Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 Wilkeson dog killing teens are idiots. Dog killers belong in jail. But PETA is nothing more than an assembly of blathering extremist idiots who exist only one miniscule step above their ALF terrorist brothers. PETA is simply attaching themselves to this Wilkeson issue to lend some sorely lacking legitamacy to their brand name. PETA sucks. Quote

AlpineK Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 I ate some yummy lamb to selebrate easter Had bacon for bfast too. Quote
minx Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 PETA had a good concept they just go waaaaaaaaaaaay too far. cruelty towards animals is unacceptable plain and simple. if you domesticate an animal or take responsibility for a domesticated animal (pets, livestock etc) it is your duty to provide reasonable food, shelter and care for that animal. h/e it's just way too insane to think that an omnivorous species (humans) should all become vegans. just plain nuts. note: i myself am largely vegetarian, consuming the occasionally tasty fishy.
