PETA

Post by Die Judicii » 11 Mar 2016, 3:21 pm

I see on the internet news,, PETA are up in arms (pardon the play on words) over Kate Middleton being seen on the snow fields wearing gloves that were
:allegedly: lined with possum fur.

Get a LIFE ,,,,, PETA, :roll:
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.

If it's tourist season, then why can't we shoot them? ;)

Sorry, gents, I think PETA is largely the fault of our smelly hippies here in the US.

When PETA members who happen to be parents stop giving their kids medicine, which is almost certainly tested on animals I will mildly pay attention... Also Pen&Teller did a thing on them, going through their tax returns since they are public and determining that based on purchases and animal adoption fees, etc. they euthanise more animals than they rescue. From memory more animals than all other animal organisations combined. They are leeches and hipocrates.

So what's PETA's response to possums in NZ? They are a pest, and introduced species that is causing problems, just like our cane toads here...

Does PETA want them killed, and tossed out, a complete waste, as opposed to actually getting some use out of them?

I'll I've ever seen of PETA is that they're just whingers. They don't know how to contribute positively to society, and they seem to need to ruining other people's businesses, fun, reputation, etc to feel like they're doing a good job.

Actually they are not just whingers. They are violent and have been linked to crimes, arson, etc. Pretty much an extremist group that should be treated as such.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with animals, these individually ineffectual and personally worthless people band togeather to control their betters.

They are generally fed from the public purse and the organization funded by a malevolent creature called George.

Last Thursday I had my beloved Blue Cattle Dog bitch speyed, it was very difficult for me to collect her and nurse her out of the drug stupor over the next 24 hrs.

Surely a violation of her reproductive rights !

Never mind that the little dog is now at much less risk of developing cancers, and also I will not be confronted by issues with giving pups to people whom I do not know and therefore do not trust.

All is good with Eva, last night whilst she and I were in the shed discussing philosophy a ringtail possum fell from a nearby tree and was feasted upon.

I have decided that Eva is a Fascist. :cry:

Should I cross dress and vote for the labor party to compensate ?

With all the crazy critters you have over there, take a look at our possums:

PETA along with AA (animals Australia that is not alcos anon) give us farmers more trouble than problems we actually have like drought flood frost etc. after the ban on live export to Indonesia (thanks to animals Australia) many of the cattle that were destined for a relatively quick death in SE Asia (from farms already feeling the effects of drought) ended up back on their farms and many of them starving to death neither PETA or AA spent a single dollar on feed for these animals. So they caused a big animal welfare problem by blaming farmers and abattoirs for "cruelty to animals" and then refused to spend any money on actually helping these poor animals. Let alone the many men and women who subsequently committed suicide or attempted it or even suffer from mental illness due to the stress of trying to feed animals they shouldn't even own anymore. Animal rights groups are not named approprately they are just extremist even terrorist organisations masquerading as animal welfare groups. By the way I agree with animal welfare just not animal rights.

I know this is slightly off topic, but I hope it's OK I tell some quick possum stories since it was brought up.

In the USA these do NOT look like yours. They are pretty much the most ugly animal on the planet. They have very vicious teeth and can produce horrifying bites. For some reason they avoid attacking humans. A lot of animals in North America will run away from you if they think they have the chance, although we obviously get attacked from time to time. But, for some reason, our possum especially do not want to attack humans. They want to run away or up a tree. If you corner them on a fence (this is actually an 80 year old sport in Trenton, Jersey) they will either attack or play possum. Usually attack in this case since people are beating them with bats.

I've had about 3 or 4 close run ins with these creatures. I ran over one with my truck, and my girl friend ran over one. They are very crunchy. And not good at cars. Although I have probably seen a few here and there (they are purely nocturnal) there is one that was a little interesting. I was testing some night vision just outside my house and one of the little critters came up to me. This was 10 years ago but I was using top of the line US stuff, better than anything you can get today. I don;t think he could see me very well. Not sure how good their night vision is but I was under two canopies of trees so no star light. He was looking around like he was trying to make out my profile. And sniffing me. I told him if he bit me I would blow his Fing head off (who am I kidding, I probably would have shot myself in the foot). He would just sniff and watch me. I would talk to him as I watched him through the night vision. He was showing his teeth and looking around and sniffing at me but never hissed or growled.

Little guy came out again the next night I think and it was the same thing. He seemed to like it when I talked to him and would leave if I started working with my gear and ignoring him.

And they have pouches. I know that's important to you mates ;)

I've never been able to understand how PETA has reached the size/influence it has.

Observations suggest it's membership is comprised entirely of either people who have some hatred of animals which they deny or haven't accepted themselves, so they mask their desire to kill animals under the guise of euthanizing them, or people who have genuine good intentions but are somehow blind to the larger workings and policies of PETA.

Can not understand.

Hatred of people might be a better description that fits in with what they do.

You don't see them actively going out of their way to target real problem animals and vermin such as foxes, rabbits, wild cats, wild dogs, etc. I've only seen them put effort into targeting animals specifically where their actions against those animals will upset or hurt other people in the process.

As for their following, soppy humanitarian adds where they show certain animals and make them look as though they have human feelings that people can relate to with 'sad' manipulating music, - plus the ability to "take action" that will actually hurt others in the process seems to be a good incentive to donate time and/or money to their cause.

It amazes me how so many people actually really seem to want to make this world a worse place for other people, whilst all the time claiming they're trying to make the world a better place...

Not going to work. You won't get people involved because to do what they do would mean being involved in illegal activities - which would risk our permit to own and use firearms.

You only have to look at the right wing protest group. (Forgot their names). They're not being extreme like PETA. They're just having a protest (much less intense, and legal). You can see that the lefties will have non of allowing anyone who disagrees with them to have the same rights to protest and demonstrate as what they do, and things have gotten quite violent there.

Just imagine how much worse it would be if there was an anti-PETA mob that decided to use the same criminal tactics as PETA. Going from the violence at simple protests, I'd imagine the response from PETA and the lefties would become extremely ugly.

I agree that something needs to be done - but I wouldn't be employing the same tactics as them, lest we become no better...

Whoa,,,,,,,, I certainly wasnt advocating anything illegal.
When I said give them a dose of what they dish up to LAFOs,, I was meaning speaking up,, bad publicity,, etc etc.

They are VEGANS. Intolerant of anybody who farms animals or processes /eats same. Just total ******, terrorists,arsonists, basically criminals.

With all these new laws being enacted to stop people protesting, hows about we have a 'PETA Law' whereby just membership of the organisation attracts a MANDATORY 2 year goal term with hard labour.

Food (pun intended) for thought.
