Euthanasia is sometimes the most humane thing to do to an animal.

Not that I particularly care for PETA that much. I prefer the Humane Society.

No, the hypocracy of them euthanizing animals was that they were protesting the humane society because they euthanize animals.

I never made a judgement on thier hypocracy. I simply stated an opinion on euthanasia

PETA is a terrorist group.

I guess that's true... I've read that they train ALF members and shit too. So, I guess it's kinda like this:

PETA:ALF::Iran:Hezbolah

if you train them, fund them, and defend them in court and in the news..........you are them.

I'd rather be killed by radical Muslim terrorist faggots than by PETA faggots. I hate them.

I sort of support alot of PETA's ideals.. but I disagree with most of thier methods.

Their ideals are that animals should be treated as people. That no one can have domesticated animals and they should be allowed to run free. That we cannot keep animals for our food, not hunt animals, not test on animals (which, understand, most testing is humane and the benefits are enormous).

Those ideals are the ones you agree with?

I agree with their less radical beliefs...animals should be treated with respect, not allowed to suffer, should be given room to move.....that sort of thing. The whole "animals=people" bullshit is pretty retarded.

Sorry, animals are animals, they are not people.

Should animals be abused, of course not. Should they be treated as people?

I think most people think that way, but there are exceptions. They hate the chicken farms (with the cages slightly bigger than the chicken) but those are made for safety reasons. Free range chickens, especially when you have that many, are far more suseptible to disease and bacteria getting into their meat and eggs than chicken farm methods.

I have some family in South Georgia who have a chicken farm like that, and people aren't allowed to go in without wearing bunny suits. The inside is as germ free as it can possibly be, all so we can have safer food.

I'm all for that

Probably doesn't come from a farm with 40k chickens

And the eggs are probably pasturized.

you can try all you want, but it's like only eating things that are "all natural"...........wtf does that really mean, anyway?
