PLEASE READ AND GIVE FEEDBACK... LONG!
PETA. Now, for those of you that dont know... you're probably living under a rock, its a cute anagram from an activist group which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Now, it sounds like a harmless little group, of course, its a cute name... PETA. How harmful can animal loving hippies be? But, I've learned some things lately which not only proove that they are harmfull, but that they are completely full of shit. All their preachings and protests.... are complete bullshit when you learn what I have learned. Lets begin with a little breif history, and a few thoughts of my own.
PETA's main agenda, it the freement of animals, or all kinds, and all shapes and sizes. They want to stop "exploitation" of animals, as well as harm, euthanasia, and "enslavement", and animal testing. While it seems like a nice crusade... they go about it in stupid idiotic ways. Some of their points, I can agree with. Harm for one. I dont think anyone should beat, kick, bludgeon an animal, for any reason. This kind of abuse is stupid, and done mostly by cowards who know the animal cant fight back... our aposable thumbs give us a one up on that evolutionary chain of obedience. But anyone that would break a dogs tail for fun, put cigarettes out on a kitten for fun, force pot smoke into a cats nose... these kind of things are just fucking cruel, and if they were to do it to a human, they would get the fucking tar beat out of them. But thats about all I can agree with. When it comes to their other agendas.... they're just laughable.
Lets focus on "exploitation". They want to end the exploitation of animals, in any way, shape, or form. Which means what exactly. Well, let me give you a list. There would be no more trained animals in hollywood so no animal movies, no more animals in the circus which leaves only clowns and acrobats, no more zoos, no more wildlife preservation camps, no more animal testing facilities, no more animals helping the disabled such as seeing eye dogs (You evil Blind Fuck, exploiting that poor dog that helps you cross the street safely! How dare you!), and no more PETS. Yes pets. You're cute little grey kitten smokey is being exploited!!! Your Ty Poodle Lambert is being exploited!! (Hi Tammy. =p). They call it animal slavery... but I'll get to the pets part later... lets focus more on exploitation. While they may be literally right... they are wrong on so many accounts. And... they are hypacrites to the last. Lets look at the 3 main definitions, according to Websters Dictionary about exploitation. 1. use or utilization, esp. for profit. 2. selfish utilization. 3. the combined, often varied, use of public-relations and advertising techniques to promote a person, movie, product, etc. Lets look at that last definition. PETA, durring protests, advertisements, and when receiving new members, show violent scenes of animal abuse, animal torture... and... people killing chickens for food. Now, in by that right, arent they too exploiting animals, by using them in Ad campaign to promote THEMSELVES?!
Now, as for pets, they view that not only as exploitation.... they view that as animal slavery.... wait, SLAVERY? WHAT THE FUCK!!?! The animals are being fed well, given the same shelter you have, they are given love and affection, they get played with, HOW THE FUCK IS THAT SLAVERY! Little rex isnt picking cotton in its masters field. Little WhiskerHead isnt building pyramids. They are your companions. They grow with you, and you treat them as well as they can be treated... one hopes. No slave owner cried when a diligent slave died, they didnt care. When pets leave your life... it affects you... why? Because they are your fucking family!
Now, lets move on to animal testing before I blow the lid off this thing and expose PETA. They want to stop testing on animals, claiming that testing on animals doesnt help humans. That the animal biostructure is so different from humans, that it holds no relevence. Ok, now lets look at REAL facts. In the 20th century alone, over 50 known diseases and sicknesses have been cured, or aleiviated from medicines that were created through... you guessed it, animal testing. 50 DISEASES! I cant give you each one, I dont know them all... but lets look at a few that I do know of. Polio... the vaccine was tested on chimps.... how many people do you hear about now that have Polio? Almost none! But, the biggest one. Its a disease that isnt really curable as of yet, but at least every one out of 16-25 people have it. I'm talking about Diabetes. Yes, it is that common. Some people dont realize they have it, and there are different forms of the disease. Almost every person who has it, uses Insulin. Without that insulin, those with diabetes would go into a diabetic coma, and die from to much sugar. Now, lets say that it is as low as one out of every 16 people. There are over 25,000 members in PETA in the US. Now, if we say one out of 16 people there have this disease, in any form... that would be roughly around 1563 people. 15 hundred people in PETA with diabetes. Now heres the kicker. Insulin was manufactured through animal testing on DOGS. Yes, thats a fact, testing on dogs has given life to millions of people with diabetes. And not only that MEMBERS OF PETA. Take away animal testing... and you just killed hundreds of thousands of people in the world.... to save 25 dogs. HOW DOES THAT BALANCE OUT! Its rediculous.
PETA also protests outside of animal shelters, saying they are killing dozens of dogs, cats, puppies and kitties every day. Instead of keeping them alive to find them homes. But what PETA doesnt mention is this. Animal Shelters have thousands of pets. Sure, they might be caged, but how else are you supposed to house that many animals without chaos breaking out between several highly territorial breeds of dogs, and dogs and cats chasing eachother around? They are caged not only for their protection, but everyone in that facilities protection. Shelters go through great lengths to find good homes for these pets, by screening adoptions, and even giving out coupons for vet visits. They also go to great lengths to educate people on the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. But what if a dog isnt safe to give away, or they are to old. You have to euthanize that animal. I wouldnt want my psychotic neighbors getting a vicious pitbull that was bred to fight and kill in their hands because PETA says its inhumane to put it to sleep. If I had to choose between a vicious dog of any breed to be put to sleep, and a small child getting attacked... I'd kill the dog myself. Now, PETA BOASTS, that they save more animals per year than any other pet agency. While this may be true, where are they keeping all these hundreds of thousands of animals? In their coumpound? Roaming free? Given to people who want them... yea, maybe a few, but withing a few years, thats over a million cats and dogs and other animals! What PETA doesnt want you to know... is this...
First, let me state that PETA is a publicly funded organization. Funded not through government taxes, but by peoples donations and such. As such, their tax records are also public domain. They dont have the luxury like we do of our tax record being safe from anyone but ourselves. In their tax writoff statement, included with receipts... was a few strange things. Strange for us, but not PETA. Fish costume, gallon drums of animal blood, things of that sort.... but the most unusual thing. A walk in freezer.... cost.... $19,000. Thats a lot of money for a walk in freezer. I have worked in resteraunts before, I was even in culunary school. I've seen big freezers. About, lets say 15 by 10 feet. Thats a fairly good freezer for storing frozen food.... and it would cost maybe 2 to 3 thousand to build. But 19 thousand? That freezer would be about the size of a 2 bedroom apartment. And there are only 2 reasons for a freezer that large. For large amounts of meat... like full cows, things you would find at a butchers.... the other... Cadavers. ---- Last year alone, PETA euthanized over 25 hundred animals because they were unruly, dangerous, or they couldnt give them away. Thats about a third of the animals they save. But wait... PETA protests animal shelters for euthanizing animals.... yet they do it themselves? HOW MUCH MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED THAT THIS ORGANIZATION IS FUCKING RETARDED AND HYPOCTITICAL?!!!
Now, lets move on to another animal rights group. A group of militant terrorist guerillas known as ALF, the Animal Liberation Front. These wackjobs break into buildings, set animals free, and vandalize the place. It seems a little to 12 Monkeys for me. But they also go a little farther than that. Members have been arrested for arson... they firebombed animal testing facilities, and other places where they beleive animals rights have been exploited. They also have been caught going into coat stores, and painting fur coats in blood, to prevent people from buying them. Not only do these actions case hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage... they also kill people... and animals in the process (maybe not the blood on coats part... but money damage definately.) They Eco terrorists will kill dozens of humans, to save an ANIMAL. One cat, for 12 humans.... hmmm... the scales of Ma'at seem a little unbalanced here ( Un Egypt egucated people.... the scales of Ma'at is where they would weigh a persons heart to see if they should be allowed into the afterlife.). But, one known Eco terrorist was arrested, and by looking through PETA's financial transactions ( They claim up and down to not support or promote ALF...) they found a $50,000 loan to this guy. Not only that, they found another loan to the guys father for $25,000. when questioned about the loan, he said "Loan? we dont have to pay any of that money back." $75 thousand dollars, that doesnt need to be paid back, to a person who was convicted afterwards of firebombing a medical school, because they did testing on animals. Surely, this "loan" must have been for something else, not for blowing up A FUCKING MEDICAL SCHOOL!
Now, dont get me wrong. I love animals. I'm an avid cat lover, and this extends to even big cats, such as lions and cheetahs. I would gladly donate money to the preservation of these creatures, especially cheetahs. But none of these "save the animal" funds are sancioned by PETA. PETA wants to liberate animals, not keep them caged up for artificial insemination to preserve their species. Its complete bullshit. If we freed every animal from shelters, zoos, preservations, and other such animal holding places... this world would be over run. Animals would get wiped out. Deer would be all over the streets more often, cause accidents and killing people. Predetors would start attacking humans when they got hungry... more animals would die from cars, deforestation, and other acts of man than they do now. So PETA wants animals to be free... but doesnt care about their welfare afterwards.
Their newest campaign, is imposing images of farms, where, yes, people are beating cattle, dropping them from heights, kicking pigs and whatnot.... next to pictures of the Hollucost. WHAT THE FUCK?! Ok, these farms are pretty bad, true... but these animals are slaughtered for OUR FOOD. How can you compare the process of making steaks, burgers, and chicken nuggets to THE SLAUGHTERING OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE!!!!! We dont have cows working in concentration camps, we are not ethnicly cleansing chicken from the world. HOW CAN YOU COMAPRE TO THE ATTROCITIES IN AUCSHWITZ?!!
Ok, animals are cool. But if my wife was stricken with a disease that could only be cured by the extinction of a certain gorilla.... I'll fucking slaughter them all with my bare hands so my wife can live... and any sane person would do the same for the one they love with all their being.
So, my final thoughts. While PETA might seem well intentioned, their actions are not. Its smoke and mirrors, and they care about nobodys overall safety in the pursuit of their beleifs... not even the animals they are fighting to save. And in this post 9 11 world, we dont need any more terrorists of any kind. There are ways to get your point across without killing an inocent bystandard. Every one of them is guilty of hypocricy, from the clothes they wear, to the things they eat. I'm sure some of them have silk covers, which were the product of a slave silkworm. Or maybe they are wearing leather belts... definately shoes with leather in them. While it might not be right to torture an animal, it is also not right to torture a human being. Killing is wrong in any aspect, whether it be human, or animal. Killing for food, or other things, is an instinctual behavior. We humans are animals as well. While we may have sentient thought, emotions, and beleifs.... we too are also driven by instinct. Our ancestors hunted for food, clothing, and lodging. Why is it so tough to accept that we do the same thing now, only without hunting ourselves, by the factories and farms hunting for us. People definately need to leard to respect animals for what they give us, that is true... but we cannot do that without respecting our fellow man. Who has the right to tell me what is ethical to do in life? My government? My parents? definately not political activists. We all view Ethics in our own terms.... its called our conscience. Its waht tells us right from wrong. Sadly, some people are devoid of that... and those people usually get arrested for crimes agaisnt other people. I'm wearing a leather belt right now, shoes with leather in them, but together by string and glue from a horse while listening to music in which horse hair is used for bow strings and other instruments. I'm going to g home and eat porn sausage, ground beef, and a big meaty steak, and drink a glass of milk. And you know what, I'm going to sleep well tonight because my conscious is clear. How clear is your's people? Probably as clear as mine... why? Because we are doing nothing wrong. If you want a pet, get a fucking pet. If you want to wear fur... wear fucking fur. Do whatever you feel in your heart to be right... dont listen to fucking wackjob assholes like PETA. They certainly dont know what they are doing. You know, if you want to be a vegan, be a vegan because you want to be one, because you personally think its the right thing to do, not because some protesting fuck suck said it harms innocent widdu animus tee hee. Take that picket sign and shove it up their self righteous ass. Live your life for youself, and your family... not fucking activists and protesters and self righteous know it alls, because believe me, they have more skeletons in their closet than you could imagine.
I love all my friends, my friends are family...no matter what walks of life they come from. Some are potheads, some are vegans, some are sick (not perverted), some are gay, some are racist, and some are antisocial. But I love them because they dont push their life or their beleifs onto my plate. Advice is one thing... forcing a beleif is another. And fuck you if you think I'm going to do anything anyone TELLS me to do that I dont want to do.
