PETA lies and is only in existence to advance itself.

I'll apologize right now for any profanity. But the fact that PETA is even bothering to show up and protest at the Michael Vick hearings/ Falcons training camp (?) is complete and utter bullshit.

(entire article and more can be viewed at www.workingpitbull.com/truthaboutpeta.htm) (or you could just go dig a little bit and find out more about PETA and their hypocritical or misguided practices)

PETA's New World Order

You could call me "pro-animal". I strongly oppose the use of companion animals in medical or psychological research. I believe strongly in improvement of farm animal management. I raise my own eggs from happy hens. I'm not a vegetarian, but won't eat veal.

I don't hunt, but I don't believe in outlawing everything I don't enjoy myself. Killing animals is not my idea of fun, but obviously it is for some folks. I understand prey drive in dog or man.

PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk has turned her fear and dislike for bulldogs into an active campaign to see these dogs discriminated against, banned, and even killed for no reason other than being a bulldog. But it isn't just her dislike of pit bulls. It's much, much more.

PETA's goal is the elimination of all dogs. Dogs are domestic animals, and PETA states that keeping domestic animals is cruel and must be abolished. PETA lawyers show up at court cases involving pit bulls to make sure the innocent victims are killed. Adults, brood bitches, puppies - all killed in the name of "love".

I find it difficult to reconcile this wholesale exclusion of animals from compassion, with being "ethical".

Pit bulls are going through a tough time right now as they take their turn as a "fad breed". They are in need of compassion during this time. PETA, in their quest for media attention - and following Ingrid Newkirk's twisted vision of Nature - is taking the low road where our bulldogs are concerned. And because of it, innocent, friendly dogs are dying.


Sorry, I just became completely enraged by the sight of PETA and their protesters. I would be willing to put good money on the fact that 75% of their members have no idea what they are supporting or what the organization that they themselves financially support do with that money. Either way, our dogs are safe and still afraid of cats.

You don't say. I changed your article now, because, pardon the pun, the cursing made you sound more Rabid. I'm not sure this article really has much to do with sports.

The profanity should go, yes... PG-13! But this is close enough to the sports world where I guess it's OK.

yeah sorry. I was off yesterday and saw this on the early evening sportscenter while I was drinking and making dinner. The original title may have been a little harsh. I got the rant out of me and if anybody read it that gets my point across, so you can drop it off of here if you want, no hurt feelings. Thanks guys.

I have been searching the internet to discover any actual documentation of lies promoted by PETA and I cannot locate them. However, I locate dozens of web logs with people insisting their lies are well known. Could anyone point me to them? My own dealings with PETA and its members ( mostly health care professionals who also care for humans equally) has revealed them to be calm, professional and ethical people who volunteer both time and money to help ease and end suffering of our fellow sojourners. Quite frankly, I fail to believe that people who slam PETA with slander and libel are concerned for either animal welfare or possess personal integrity.

A very good friend of mine is a strict vegan and devoted PETA member. We agree to disagree on more than a few beliefs but I hardly consider him a "public nuisance" because of his PETA membership.

i havent been on in a couple of days and i apologize for not being able to advance this any further. Your friend being a PETA member? good for them. I equate PETA with the ACLU/constitutional law. good on the outside, once you get into it (or grow a brain stem) its a little sketchy. Whichever though, I'm not here necessarily to say that all of these people are bad, just too generalized to do any good for what they believe to be their causes.
