#Peta

[deborahdeshoftim5779]

Glad to see that I am not the only one who cannot stand PETA.

The problem with PETA is the same problem I've observed with so many zealots for various causes. Such people convince themselves that because what they're doing is the "right" thing to do, any kind of behaviour, no matter how unethical or criminal, is justified. Moreover, such zealots cannot take criticism of their behaviour, always hiding behind other people's wrongdoing to avoid taking personal responsibility.

(All those familiar with my blog can take a guess at which "cause" is the very worst representation of all of the above.)

Zealotry doesn't achieve anything. One could very well argue that the more extreme the tactics used, the more such a movement risks alienating more and more people. The claim that extremism is necessary to achieve certain goals is provably false; it is a crutch, an excuse used by people who seek power over others and will stop at nothing to obtain it. Such people are exceedingly dangerous and ought to be rejected by the moral majority.

All my homies hate PETA.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) canceled my order of a Hatsune Miku figurine because it said "I like c*ck" on it.

*Grabs you by the shoulders, digging my nails into your skin* The reason PETA campaigns look like fetish art is not just as a cheap attention grab but also because they're ecofascists who operate on the wisdom of repugnance. They know they can no longer directly target fat and autistic people the way they did in the 2000s so they've shifted gears to grossing people out with kink imagery, a tried and true tool of the fascist. The intended message is that all human/animal interactions, including pet ownership, are innately sexual, degenerate and ought to be punished. They are no different than the red senator who uses photoshopped images of children petting dudes in pup hoods to drum up support for the death penalty of openly trans people "child predators". The nature of PETA's campaigns may be absurd and their goals may be deeply unpopular, but make no mistake, they are cut from the same cloth and boiling it down to "haha I would the MILF hucow" is exactly how they want people who don't ascribe to their ideology to react

hey what's your beef with peta? if it's that they operate "kill shelters" you might want to read the newsweek fact check https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-peta-responsible-deaths-thousands-animals-1565532 (tldr: "Just as a hospice has a high mortality rate, so does a shelter that takes in those near end-of-life, feral, aggressive, dying and discarded animals." "Cherry-picking animals to only allow in the most adoptable at shelters with limited admission (otherwise known as 'no-kill') policies doesn't help and often leads to people dumping animals, or neglecting them in other ways,")

Oh no it's so much more than that.Constant spreading of pseudoscience and misinformation, ableist campaigns (such as "drinking milk causes autism", racist and antisemitic campaigns (comparing pig farming to the Holocaust for instance), sexist campaigns under the guise of feminism (veganism is feminist because cows have a womb they are women too) more misinformation and pseudoscience, financial scams, at least one instance of abducting someone's beloved and cared for pet to euthanize it, harassment, using emotional manipulation on children ("your mommy is a murderer because she eats meat" etc), harassing and breaking into zoos and research labs , frequently killing the wild animals they rescue, that one bullshit monkey photograph lawsuit, being against ALL animal agriculture and hunting EVERYWHERE, being opposed to pets (yes cats and dogs too), actually paying people to abuse farm animals for staged videos, cultish behavior,absolutely insane ideas, and oh, misinformation and pseudoscience.

As to kill shelters, it's the lies and the hypocrisy that bothers me, because these are the same fucking people who will insist they're doing good by keeping animals alive when they have no quality of life to speak of anymore. One moment they're gushing over some poor piglet born without trotters or blind legless bird being kept alive and miserable for months, the next they're all pro euthanizing healthy animals en masse, all while they collect donations for both.

I know a lot of people donate to them in good faith but don't. Even if you are vegan. They're not doing anything good with that money.

Urge These Resorts to Stop Offering Cruel Dolphin Experiences! | PETA

Hawks Cay Resort in Florida and The Kahala Hotel & Resort and Hilton Waikoloa Village in Hawaii are supporting the abuse of intelligent dolphins by partnering with notorious Dolphin Quest or Dolphin Connection. These companies cruelly confine dolphins to tiny lagoons so they can offer tourists “swim with dolphins” experiences for profit.

A great battle!

Was a surprise to us here at Glorb's that this was going on. So, naturally, it made it's way into our "Funny Channel"!

Last Christmas my uncle got a catboy for my aunt and they had to give him up after only a few months. It was really sad to watch and I hate that it happens to a lot of families every year.
