from: peta kills animals

i'm so tired of peta. older entry: things you didn't know about peta if you want to be a vegetarian, even though i feel it's inherently wrong, do it. your choice, your body. but don't feel so high and mighty about yourself. you're just as bad as the rest of us.

"Hypocrisy is the mother of all credibility problems, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has it in spades. While loudly complaining about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, the group has its own dirty little secret.

PETA kills animals. By the thousands.

From July 1998 through the end of 2003, PETA killed over 10,000 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" -- at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That's more than five defenseless animals every day. Not counting the dogs and cats PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 85 percent of the animals it took in during 2003 alone. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no sign of changing.

On its 2002 federal income-tax return, PETA claimed a $9,370 write-off for a giant walk-in freezer, the kind most people use as a meat locker or for ice-cream storage. But animal-rights activists don't eat meat or dairy foods. So far, the group hasn't confirmed the obvious -- that it's using the appliance to store the bodies of its victims.

In 2000, when the Associated Press first noted PETA's Kervorkian-esque tendencies, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk complained that actually taking care of animals costs more than killing them. "We could become a no-kill shelter immediately," she admitted.

PETA kills animals. Because it has other financial priorities.

PETA raked in nearly $29 million last year in income, much of it raised from pet owners who think their donations actually help animals. Instead, the group spends huge sums on programs equating people who eat chicken with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting children into the radical animal-rights lifestyle, and intimidating businessmen and their families in their own neighborhoods. PETA has also spent tens of thousands of dollars defending arsonists and other violent extremists.

PETA claims it engages in outrageous media-seeking stunts "for the animals." But which animals? Carping about the value of future two-piece dinners while administering lethal injections to puppies and kittens isn't ethical. It's hypocritical -- with a death toll that PETA would protest if it weren't their own doing.

PETA kills animals. And its leaders dare lecture the rest of us. "

Funniest part about vegetarians and things of the nature is that people who claim it and the unwittingly consume a gallon *obvious overexageration* of Jello brand gelatin, dont realise that the same basic composition of jello is the basis of most meats. So in reality they arent any different than us. =P They just like to think so.

Sometimes people become vegetarians because their bodies cant break down the red meats and other such things. Hep C prevents the breakdown of red meats, which the body needs to stay healthy to a degree *watched my father enough to learn quite a bit* but instead of becoming a salad-bar breath person *just kidding* he ate fish and chicken. Both combined are almost as good as red meats. Sure red meats are bad for you, but in this day and age what isnt? Unless you grow your foods outta the ground *which you still dont know if its got anything in it or not* then technically you could be doing just as much harm as carnivores.

To touch note on the obesity thing, its eating in moderation not material. I know people who eat a steak every other day, and I know people who eat out all the time. The difference is in alot of the activities the person does through out the day. And sometimes it is yet again the bodies designs and flaws *which we're designed how we are supposed to be from birth. No relation to religion in my view* My friend has a thyroid issue, causes him weight trouble. Me, I have an overactive metabolism and I CANT gain weight. Obesity is really an individual thing. =)

Yes. dumb vegitarians eat jello. Im a vegitarian ( if you havent guessed from most of the thread.) and I dont. Nor do I eat most debbie snacks due to the fact they contain animal fat.
