341>1) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group’s overall goal as “total animal liberation.” This means no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no wool, no leather, no hunting, no fishing, and no pets (not even seeing-eye dogs). PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals.
2) Despite its constant moralizing about the “unethical” treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, PETA has killed over 14,400 dogs and cats at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2005, PETA put to death over 90 percent of the animals it collected from members of the public.
3) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) activist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing recommendation, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. And PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich told an animal rights convention in 2001 that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation.”
4) PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, often waiting outside their schools to intercept them as they walk to and from class-without notifying parents. One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells small children: “Your Mommy Kills Animals!” PETA brags that its messages reach over 2 million children every year, including thousands reached by e-mail without the permission of their parents. One PETA vice president told the Fox News Channel’s audience: “Our campaigns are always geared towards children, and they always will be.”
5) PETA has used a related organization, the PETA Foundation, to fund the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a deceptive animal rights group that promotes itself as an unbiased source of medical and nutritional information. PCRM%26#039;s president also serves as president of the PETA Foundation.
6) PETA runs campaigns seemingly calculated to offend religious believers. One entire PETA website is devoted to the claim-despite ample evidence to the contrary-that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. PETA holds protests at houses of worship, even suing one church that tried to protect its members from Sunday-morning harassment. Its billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs “died for their sins.” PETA insists, contrary to centuries of rabbinical teaching, that the Jewish ritual of kosher slaughter shouldn%26#039;t be allowed. And its infamous “Holocaust on Your Plate” campaign crassly compares the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide with farm animals.
7) PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, because they support animal-based research that might uncover cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has said that “even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it.”
Reply:PETA is really crazy. They believe that they can justify anything because their cause is so %26quot;just%26quot;. My kids are vegans because of their beliefs in animal rights but they hate PETA.
Animal research has resulted in better health care for not only humans but animals! Cat AIDS was discovered before human AIDS. Of course, lab animals should have humane care and, so, too, should animals raised for human consumption.
Reply:Even god told adam to kill the sheep on the mountain and wear its hide for clothing, all through out the bible man ate of the fatted calf cause the fathers son who was lost came back and they killed the fatted calf to celebrate, ect. The bible also states man may eat of certain types of animals. Report It
Reply:yes, i still support them :) Report It
Reply:ON THEIR SITE THEY DID NOT SAY 1 DAMN THING ABOUT THEIR SHELTERS. WHETHER THEY KILL THOSE ANIMALS OR NOT...THEY R STILL SPREADING THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT YOU EAT, FUR FARMS,FACTORY FARMING, PUPPY MILLS, ECT.= THEY ARE SAVING AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF ANIMALS COMPARED TO TRE AMOUNT THEY KILL Report It
Reply:I found exactly the same things when I researched PETA a couple years ago. Report It
Reply:Mo Mosh mentioned that they compare killing animals for food to the Holocaust. It bugs me so much how this huge group cares about animals, but not as many are standing up to help people. I value a person%26#039;s life over an animals any day. Report It
Reply:I didn%26#039;t support them in the first place, but your question did provide some interesting reading :)
Reply:I never have supported them; they are hopeless nitwits. Indeed, I denounce them at every opportunity.
Reply:I never supported them anyway, so this is just the icing on the cake. Any person that is against a natural way of life (that is a higher member of the food chain making lower members food) has no intelligence what-so-ever.
Also any group that has to make sick and twisted pictures of random bloody cow heads just to get people to side with them, never had much of an argument.
Reply:I never have been a PETA %26quot; supporter %26quot;, but I wasn%26#039;t aware of just how radical they were. Thanks for the infor. They %26quot;are%26quot; fanatics.
Reply:I like pita... a little chicken or lamb, lettuce, tomato, and some sour cream...oh you said PETA.
It%26#039;s a shame because there are needs for people to advocate for animals, but because these people have lost their grip on reality they marginalize themselves to the point where noone wants to listen to them.
Reply:You%26#039;re preaching to the choir about PeTA. They make ligitimate animal rescuers like myself look bad, and none of the good people I know who love animals are associated with them.
Reply:I%26#039;ve never supported PETA. They%26#039;re all a bunch of crazies.
How do you not eat meat? It%26#039;s a natural source of protein. Does PETA go out and protest to the lions that eat zebras for dinner?
Plus, pets are necessary for a healthy, happy life. :)
Reply:Never supported Peta. I figure...if people really wanted to save the animals why don%26#039;t they stop protesting...like put down the signs for a second....and go help out those animal shelters? I liked peta for a while (like a month) and then I never could find out what they were doing to help the SPCA or any other shelter. The only good thing that has come from peta is the hurricane Katrina relief.
Reply:I am a vegetarian because I believe that we shouldn%26#039;t be killing animals simply to eat them, and also because I have pet chickens and can%26#039;t see how I can claim to love them but then also eat the same species. I also have massive objections to factory farming. However, I don%26#039;t support PETA or other radical animal rights movements. Instead I choose to support animal welfare charities such as the RSPCA, Dogs Trust and so on.
Reply:I support my local shelters and NorthShore Animal League.(They are pretty much a pet Red Cross)
I am just not gullible enough to support HSUS or PETA
Reply:1)Obviously that is their goal,they are an animal rights group.
2)Too bad CCF failed to mention the 26 billion animals killed for meat,dairy, adn eggs.And the 1 million dogs,monkeys,cats,tested on and killed each year.Plus another 19 million rats and mice.
3)Bruce Friedrich told an animal rights convention in 2001 that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation.”
-One person does not represent an entire group.If you knew about factory farming,vivisection,animals killed alive for fur,etc
I%26#039;m sure you would feel the same way.It makes me mad to see animals killed and abused needlessly.
4)Do you know where kids get their nutritional guides from?Meat and dairy industry.Many of our parents wer raised on the four food groups,there were origanally 12.The USDA made the change after receiving heavy pressure from the meat and dairy industry.kids today still think they need to drink cows milk,they think milk builds strong bones(it doesn%26#039;t,the calcium in milk is unusable,it has to have a ratio of 1 to 1 magnesium and calcium,and calcium is absorbed better from foods with low phosphorus,milk is NOT a low pH,it is a high,osteoperosis is caused by excess protein,not lack of calcium,people who drink milk do not have stronger bones),recently the milk industry suggested that people who drink milk are leaner,with no research to support it.In a weight loss guide,they said include ice cream with fruit.You%26#039;re kidding me right?Eat ice cream to lose weight?I%26#039;m sure you can find a Got milk? at each and every public school on the US,and they say good cheese comes from happy cows,yet they only show cows grazing in grass,when in reality they are kept in stalls all day,given hormones,milked 3 times a day,have their calves taken away from them to be raised for veal.
5)CCF claims that PCRM %26quot;perverts%26quot; science,yet PCRM%26#039;s studies are all peer reviewed.PCRM has a four-star rating from Charity Navigator.PCRM exposed experiments in which short, healthy children were to be injected with genetically engineered growth hormone in an attempt to make them taller. PCRM also exposed the practice of using massive estrogen doses to suppress height in tall adolescent girls. In addition, PCRM vigorously promotes alternatives to the use of animals in medical education and research through a variety of innovative programs.
CCF mistakenly charges that the American Medical Association (AMA) has “censured” PCRM: This is patently untrue. PCRM did have disagreements with the AMA in the early 1990s (the AMA supported animal testing, while PCRM promotes alternatives; PCRM favors vegetarian diets, while the AMA was initially skeptical), but the AMA’s censure process was never applied to PCRM. In fact, PCRM president Neal Barnard, M.D., is a lifetime AMA member. In February 2004, the AMA released a statement saying that its previous criticisms of PCRM’s stance on vegetarianism do not represent current AMA opinion or policy.In 2006, the AMA rescinded a 1990 criticism of PCRM’s work for alternatives to animal research. There is no longer any acrimony between the groups. Many PCRM members are also AMA members.
6)You can go here and see information that I got from a website that showed the possibility of Jesus being a vegetarian(http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;... There are a group of christians who promote vegetarianism(seventh-day adventists, http://www.all-creatures.org/cva/cvainne...
Isaac Bashevis Singer(a jew who survived the holocaust).Wrote in his book,Enemies:A love Story %26quot;...in their behavior towards animals,all men are Nazi%26#039;s%26quot; That was PETA%26#039;s basis for that campaign.Singer%26#039;s Grandson supported PETA%26#039;s efforts,along with others.PETA is against Kosher slaughter because the animal has to be turned around upside and have it%26#039;s throat slit.It cannot be given any sedatives to reduce the pain.That is why Peta is against it.Watch (If this is Kosher)

7) PETA has spoke against those foundations,but they promote alternatives.They do not shun research without promoting an alternative. Why they are against those studies.The American Heart Association (AHA) funds countless studies in which animals have their hearts damaged, have their arteries sewn shut, and are exposed to noxious substances like cigarette smoke. In one AHA-funded study, tubes and wires were implanted into dogs’ hearts in order to speed up their heartbeats for three weeks until the dogs suffered heart failure. Another group of AHA-funded experimenters killed baboons by injecting them with lethal doses of E. coli.
Experimenters funded by the March of Dimes sewed newborn kittens’ eyes shut for a year and then killed them; others chemically blinded 4-to-12-week-old kittens by injecting drugs into their brains for four straight weeks, killing many of the cats in the process.The March of Dimes has funded these “blinding” studies for decades in order to show that depriving cats of normal vision alters the development of their brains—which is already a well-established scientific fact. The March of Dimes has also given millions of dollars to experimenters who have administered nicotine, cocaine, and alcohol to pregnant animals, even though we already know from human clinical experience that these substances can harm developing babies.
Shriners Burns Institute has conducted burn experiments on live mice, rats, guinea pigs, pigs, dogs, and sheep for years. Experimenters there burned pigs over 40 percent of their bodies and then induced sepsis by pumping E. coli into their internal organs in order to test how treating the infection helps burn victims to recover, even though burn victims are already routinely given antibiotics to fight infections.
At Boys Town National Research Hospital, experimenters starved cats for months, implanted tubes and wires in their throats, cemented metal devices into their skulls, and cut open kittens’ heads in order to sever the nerves in their brains—all in the name of curing deafness. Undercover investigators from PETA documented serious violations of federal law at Boys Town, including failure to provide veterinary care to sick animals, use of outdated drugs, and the absence of post-surgical painkillers.

PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has said that “even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it.”
No,she didn%26#039;t,she said %26quot;Even if animal testing resulted in a cure for AIDS,which it never would,I%26#039;d be against it morally.%26quot;
She is not alone on that statement.
%26quot;Science that fails to embrace all living beings is far more dangerous than any virus!%26quot;
Simmons, Steve-Aids Activist
%26quot;What good does it do you to test something [a vaccine] in a monkey? You find five or six years from now that it works in the monkey, and then you test it in humans and you realize that humans behave totally differently from monkeys, so you’ve wasted five years.%26quot;

Please do some research on your own.Educate yourself about the industries PETA opposses.If you step back and compare the two,you will definetly know PETA is by far the lesser of the two evils.Here is some info that may interest you...
Why is CCF attacking PETA?
http://consumerdeception.com/
USDA/Meat %26amp; Dairy industries
-France has a fraction of the animals that we do for food,yet they have tested more animals in a week than we have in an entire decade.
-The USDA tests lees than 1% of animals killed for food
-The USDA makes it illegal for slaughterhouses to conduct tests to reassure customers that their beef is safe,slaughterhouses were losing money after US beef was banned from Japan when they found cows with mad cow diease,slaughterhouses wanted to be allowed to test to reassure Japan that their beef was safe,USDA made it illegal to do so
-Mad cow diease is caused by feeding other animals to cows,a practice that was supposedly banned in 1997
-The USDA tested a cow positive for mad cow disease,they did nothing the next day,didn%26#039;t shut down the slaughterhouse,didn%26#039;t do any recalls,nothing.
-The government said it cannot require labeling of cloned meats.Why?Because many would not buy it.That shows you they don%26#039;t want to protect consumer but rather the inustries(they did the same with genetically modified foods in 1995,they wouldn%26#039;t label it because no one would buy it)
-The USDA Food Guide Pyramid available through 2005 recommended that meat, poultry, fish, and eggs comprise 14% of the diet, yet 52% of USDA food promotion resources were allocated to these foods. The Pyramid said 33% of the diet should come from fruits and vegetables — which received only 5% of the USDA promotion budget.

Reply:They compare the killing of animals for food to the mass slaughter of human beings in the Holocaust.
That%26#039;s enough for me to judge this (wacked-out) group.
