Why PETA Needs to be Put Down Like a Rabid Dog

I'm all for protests and the right to make your point of view heard above the roar of daily living. But PETA's antics have lately done nothing but arouse much derision and irritation, not the mention outright hypocrisy.

I'd not known about it before but Penn and Teller have a show on Showtime called Bullshit that I happened to catch last week. They were discussing PETA and the bullshit they exist within.

They are completely against the unethical treatment of animals, that means no animal testing, no animals for food, no animals for fine Corinthian leather couches, no walking canes made from bull's pizzles (no lie, don't make me bust out the link) and possibly not even keeping animals as pets. And that's all well and good, I'm all for people holding opinions, however narrow and stupid and wrong and skewed they are. But I do have an issue with PETA on many fronts.

Apparently its okay that medical testing on animals has happened before because the founder of PETA is a diabetic and has to use insulin. Insulin that's a product of animal testing. But she says its okay because her taking insulin allows her to do greater good than the animal testing that had to be done to develop insulin.

So its okay for her to use animal products but not you, me or anyone else. Sorry lady but that's bullshit. You're not special and you are a hypocrit.

Next, PETA says that they are devoted to caring for and caring about all animals, yet they euthanized almost two thirds of the animals that passed through their doors in 2003. They KILLED the animals, they have a huge walk-in freezer that they had loaded with bodies. Sorry but that's not only hypocritical but its a lie. PETA isn't protecting animals, they are killing them.

Their tactics are far more about exposure and national attention than they are about protecting animal's rights. The Meat is Murder campaign, the spray painting of people wearing fur coats and then there are the truly dirty tactics they try to use, like talking to children and telling them that if they eat meat then they are killing Bambi and other Disney characters. I'm sorry but any organization that bases its message on lies and then tries to feed those lies to children should be charged with endangerment, fraud and whatever else they can be charged with.

And it doesn't end there, check out PETA�s Internet hypocrisy (yeah, its old but that just goes to show how long these "activists" have been hypocrits). Or

PETA still spewing bullshit where they discuss more crap from PETA like milk causes acne and protests against the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile. Another article discusses PETA using Nazi Germany in an attempt to get people to stop eating meat, the campaign? "A Holocaust on your Plate".

PETA needs to become extinct. Even if I were a vegeterian I would have nothing to do with these rabid soccer moms and their misguided crusades and their truly appalling tactics. And they'd better stay the hell away from my children because I will have no problem beating their asses silly with a leg of lamb.
