They're both a Welfarist organization as well as a Corporation, both sides of them that I do not like. I do not like PETA. |

Now, if we can only stop the PETA stalls downtown, everything would be great. I'm thinking of setting up a stall next to them with "animals killed by PETA" and put up photos and whatnot. |

| Coolness: 39485 | I would set up a stall next to them for the organization "Friends of Animals" that is based out of NYC because they are very responsible, honest, tactful, true. They're non profit and really have a clear motto.
Why would you put up a sign "animals killed by PETA" though? Do you actually care about those animals or are you just trying to get a rise out of people? I know it's true but it's kind of pointless putting up a stall just out of spite when everyone already knows that PETA is less than consistent. If you actually care about the animals that PETA is harming, you'd make another booth with an alternate A.R. association that IS honest etc. (though to be fair to PETA, they have probably saved more animals than they have killed, but I think any, ANY other organization could do better in their place) |

| Coolness: 158950 | I'd do it to make people stop helping the hypocrites.
In 2007, Virginia's Department of Consumer Services released information on the number of animals PETA killed versus the number they were able to send for adoption. In Virginia alone, on the 1997 animals they had received, they had send 17 for adoption. The rest? You guessed it. They killed them. So no, they don't save more animals than they have killed. it was even worse last year. Just check the Virginia Public records request: [ www.petakillsanimals.com ] And you're wrong when you think everyone already know that PETA is less than consistent. People like Pamela Anderson and those naked ads still make it seem like PETA is a friendly organization and most people will argue in their favor. Most people will hear PETA's message that if you're not WITH them, you're a heartless bastard. And so they side with them without paying attention. it's as sickening as people buying carbon credits from Al Gore's company :) |

Yeah it's horrible, we (AR peeps who are not with PETA) feel that PETA and H$U$ takes away attention and money from more legit, non-for-profit and wonderful organizations who, unlike PETA, practice what they preach. When I said they still save animals is that they have turned some people vegan, which saves animals. But they are still hypocrites for killing the animals that could have been spayed and neutered and given to the adoptive homes that were waiting for them. I agree that animals should not be bred domesticated, but adopting an animal in need is different. They are hypocrites in other ways too! Did you know that they settled for welfarism with KFC Canada?? I won't get into the details because I don't feel like being pissed off now. PETA flaunts a "total liberation" motto, but don't follow it. They support ALF but then fall for welfarism? Inconsistency! Vegans are probably more pissed off with PETA than non-vegans are. You're right, most people don't know. I guess I just assume everyone knows they are an inconsistent organization, just like I always assume that people know that protein is in everything including vegan food XD I still get shocked every time someone asks me where I get it hahaha. At the same time, you can't blame the animals, vegans, or the rest of the AR movement for what PETA does. There are many hypocrites in all movements and all different types of organizations. I like to consider people and organizations on a case by case basis. Originally Posted By DRNYARLATHOTEP

As for Al Gore, he's also there for money. Let me explain. In 2004, Al Gore starts a carbon credit company. Carbon credits are dollars you voluntarily pay to be "carbon neutral" (i.e. to offset the carbon emissions you produce). In 2006, he starts his whole "Inconvenient Truth" deal, gets a fucking Nobel peace price and wins an oscar. People buy carbon credits, which often goes to his company (there are a few others but none as prominent as his). Nobody controls how much money is donated and where it goes. So basically, the money goes to pay Al Gore to fly around the world. In 2007, is was shown that it also paid his Nashville mansion energy bill, which, get this, spent about 27 times the normal electricity need for a house this size. Al Gore apologized and determined to balance this with carbon credits, which he paid to HIS OWN COMPANY, thus getting the money back. When a reporter found out, he was assaulted with death threats from pseudo-hippies who still, to this day, brand Al Gore as a quasi neo-messiah. Until the government accepts and regulates carbon credits as a way to offset carbon emissions, anybody can start a website and charge whatever they want and use the money on whatever they want. Al Gore's "fight" might actually help the environment and it's great if it does but let's not forget that he did this to fill his pockets and doesn't really give two shits about the environment. Basically, this and PETA are riding the counterculture business and it SELLS TO THE ROOF. :) I should start something like that. Don't doubt for a second that companies like Proctor&Gamble and Unilever have both fast food chains and organic farms. They do have both Axe and Dove (contradictory messages) and Slim Fast and Haagen Daas. Counterculture pays and the funny part is, most of us feel good when giving our money to these people :) Al Gore's company is: [ en.wikipedia.org ] Check out "carbon credit fraud" or "carbon credit Al Gore" on Google for interesting results :) |
