All living creatures are equal, and
humans are in no way “above” other animals, but that in no way justifies PETA’s actions.
Humans are omnivorous, and it’s completely natural for organisms to consume other organisms. That’s how nature works.
PETA does
nothing to help animals. They
kill far more animals than they save, without even giving them a chance for a new home. They spend more of their
money on promoting themselves instead of accommodations for the animals, unlike the ASPCA who spend most of their funds on shelter, food, and vet care for their animals. They put down REAL animal organizations like the ASPCA and complain about their conditions, but I’ve volunteered at the SPCA and their conditions were
fine. PETA kills about 80% of their animals while the ASPCA gets more than 70% of theirs into homes, mainly because the ASPCA actually evaluates their animals medically and behavior-wise before deciding their adoptability while PETA does not. PETA also has been proven to fabricate their videos and give
money to
terrorist organizations.
PETA also does
nothing for endangered species, and they basically give the finger to any exotic animal that
may need help.
PETA is completely
ignorant of the fact that animals born in captivity cannot survive well in the wild, and if everyone were to release every pet and zoo animal, they would probably all
die or be killed by wild animals.
Some animal keepers do keep them in poor conditions and abuse animals, but the ASPCA can take those animals away, charge the owners with animal cruelty, and find the animal a new home IF that animal was proven to live in bad conditions. ASPCA hunts down animal cruelty with their officers, while all PETA does is lobby pointlessly.
PETA also likes to ignore the fact that animals are constantly slaughtered during the harvesting of vegetables, and they also ignore the fact that
people are animals, and maybe our welfare matters, too.
The leader of PETA has also gone on record saying that she would never use anything tested on animals, not even medicine, when she herself uses insulin, which was found through animal testing.
Cosmetic research is indeed pointless and unnecessary, but medical research is for our survival.
Most members of PETA are completely
ignorant of anything biological and they’ll believe anything PETA tells them, but idiots who arrogantly mock PETA by putting animals down are just as
ignorant.
They have the right idea when they speak out against fur and COSMETIC research, but their methods are heinous.
If you were a REAL animal
lover you’d support an organization like the ASPCA or
World Wildlife Fund. If you support PETA it just proves how
ignorant and impressionable you are.
If you hate PETA, speak out against PETA, not animals. Animals are just PETA's pawns.
