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.

Get the peta mug.A group of radical hypocrites who are for the "ethical treatment of animals", though they euthanize hundreds of healthy (and sometimes stolen) animals annually. They claim that it's ok for them to do it, but as soon as anybody else does it, it's wrong.

Get the peta mug.A huge, worldwide animal rights organization. They claim to be in support of helping animals, but they don't actually do anything productive. PETA spends its funds on creating stickers that say things like "Leather Is For Losers" and distributing them, instead of providing homes for stray animals like humane societies or trying to pass legislation like the ASPCA.

Get the PETA mug.People who, try as they might, can not seem to get the idea that people are worth more than animals.
When confronted with other view points, they will ignore them under the guise of 'You don't know what you're talking about!' as seen by the pro-PeTA definers here.
The best quote from PeTA comes from Ingrid Newkirk:
"Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we’d be against it."
— PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk, in the September 1989 issue of Vogue

Get the PETA mug.1. A group of hippocrites who will never hesitate to pour paint on a rich lady's fur coat, but will never in a million years pour paint on a biker's leather jacket.
2. A group of mush wimp clowns who, living in the traditions, safety, and blessings of a Christian nation, subscribes to Hindu reincarnation nonsense about cows being ex-humans.

Listen up, PETA punk: Meat is NOT murder, and that cow is NOT my grandma. Pour paint on MY leathers and I'll ram a wiener dog up yer backside!

Get the PETA mug.A fascist cult of radical libtards. These stupid niggas think that any interaction between animals and people should be banned. PETA's cultists kill animals to prove their point, they are terrorists who threaten, attack, and annoy people because they didn't get enough hugs as a child.
