Big Think

PETA is the single most rediculous organization, besides Al Queda. Sure, maybe I'm exagerating. But tell me, is the Animal Liberation Front a terrorist organization? Well, yes! Does PETA fund and support ALF? Well, yes!

Vegetarianism is a noble goal, if you are in the state of mind that our instinct to eat meat is any less important than an animals instinct to live.

And on the "liberating animals" topic, when do we start liberating animals from other animals? When do we start advocating vegetarianism to the wolves? Sure I'm simplifying it more than I might need to, but these are some rather important questions. To tell me that keeping a chicken in a cage until we eat it is more unethical than leaving them to the wild so that a Cayote can have its way with it is just silly.

Support PETA, then support terrorism. (I think that is the first time I have ever sounded like a conservative.)

What happens in the wild is no excuse for what you do in our civilized society. Some animals are known to kill their young, does that make it okay if humans do it? Wolves don’t have an alternative, they have to eat meat to survive. You only eat meat as a luxury… for its taste. It is not necessary.
Ultimately, this complaining does nothing to help you, me, PETA or the animals. Why not listen and educate yourself on all the ways we can make this a more humane world instead of finding reasons to dislike PETA?
