VILLIANS\n\nPETA KILLS ANIMALS,\n\nHere's two links, the first gives a summary the second show a pdf of the source documents from PETA\n.\nhttp://petakillsanimals.com/petaKillsAnimals.cfm\n\nHere a pdf of the source documents\n\nhttp://petakillsanimals.com/downloads/PetaKillsAnimals.pdf\n\nReally PETA think all the problems would be solved it there just wasn't any people in the world, except them of course. Because they are good people who only kill over 70% of all pets dropped off at their shelter.\n\nDON'T EVER GIVE YOUR PET TO PETA.\n\nPETA literally yells and screams about how others "kill animals" , but since it's cheaper to kill animals the feed them PETA kills them. Such a nice group people.\n\nI know I'm going to get a lot of thumbs down from the PETA supporters, who don't want to hear the truth. So be it.\n\nLive a good life.\n\nEDIT\n\nYou just have to read this.\n\nhttp://www.thisistrue.com/petareply.html\n\nThey admit they kill animals.

Well ... though most of us have an illusion that morality and ethics have strted to die out in the field of business ( Imyself used to think that earlier ! ) , yet there is evidence that those companies who have a well defined ethical code for their employees as well as fir the customers are successful to form a good "public image", which proves to be instrumental in boosting up a company's profit. There is also statistical data available on that. I know all this now cuz recently i had a chance to give presentation on business ethics in college and for that i had to do extensive " research" . So the verdict my friend is ... there still is room for ethics and morality in business world ..( though the intention behind the same may not be genuine ) ...

Nope, since American Cancer Society continues to fund animal research - and seems to not even consider the incredibly abundant and accurate amount of non-animal projects out there that are making headway.  I'm not an activist nutjob - so don't get on my case, but I am smart and humane enough to see that there are real alternatives.  But I digress - just go to http://www.pcrm.org for more info in that vein from thousands of actual doctors and scientists.  \n\nIf you're like me and you do want to support the fight against cancer - but in a humane way - there are many, many groups that support non-animal cancer research, for example, The Garland Appeal http://www.garlandappealusa.com created by Paul McCartney in memory of his late wife, Linda.\n\nAnyway, I will not be supporting the Relay for Life, although I will support other cancer-fighting activities and have the utmost respect and best wishes to all those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

An interesting point.  And, at first glance, I would say yes.  However, from the Christian point of view, nature was corrupted along with the fall of man.   Also, different kinds of animals function in different ways.  Many elements of nature function in a strictly selfish, self-preserving way - in the individualistic sense.  Others are more centred on the collectivity.\nSome animals owned by man (dogs, horses) have been known to behave in seemingly unselfish ways,  putting their owners life before their own.  Hard to know what motivates them - is it the self-preserving instinct for the collectivity that has been deterred toward the human owner?  I don't know.\nSo, not being an expert in zoology, I would still suggest that we need a more absolute measure of morality than nature, even though we can learn some things from nature.

because peta is a band of rich people with nothing better to do and since rich people aint that smart, they sometimes overlook the big issues.

Where's the confusion.  When you take a creator out of the equation, we all become animals.\n\nIt becomes arrogant to assume humans have some intrinsic importance.\n\nPersonally, I do not think the liberals should get to have dominion over this issue.\n\nAs stewards, I think conservatives need to show more interest in public support of some conservationist efforts.  Many of us just do so quietly, without fanfare.

What organization that deals with children has not had a "sex scandal". The question you need to ask is: did the organization do anything about it? Is abuse incultured in the organization? Predators have used many child centered organizations, they infiltrate and trick the good people. Look again! Check your sources!!

Not necessarily.  I've seen alot with belief who step outside of what is considered moral, even by their own religions standards and then hypocritically justify it with that same religion.  I wouldn't consider that person better for their belief.  Though, on rare occaisions, I do find people with belief who have become better people for it... those are usually the one's who don't pressure others about belief.  Sad thing is, they're greatly outnumbered by those that step outside of the moral boundaries believing they are Better than others.

No people do not have to eat animals to survive, however PEOPLE COME FIRST BEFORE ANIMALS.  So the crazy ones (not all of them) at PETA need to think about blinding a person due to their paint throwing tatics!  Yes, people should think about the environment, yes to carpool, Yes trees need to be replace

Well .. as long as she doesn't go online and make up stupid **** questions .. she's just fine!\n\nIf you don't know anything of PETA you shouldn't comment on it ... makes you look more stupid than you may really be.

Your right on the money...they do support these organizations. Ignore some of these morons on here...they have no clue what their talking about...\n\nThe fact is that if the government went after PETA for supporting ELF & ALF then the libs would go insane...they are all major supporters of the Democrats.

The Humane Society of the United States: hsus.org\nAmerican Soceity for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: aspca.org ( you may know them for their work as animal cops)\n\npeta is good for initially making you aware of issues, but if you want to really learn factual information without the distraction of the gory images, hsus and aspca are the places to go.\n\nRight now factory farming is a big issue.

Probably. There might be some that legitimately support science, but a lot of them are just trying to be contradictory to the "animal loving Liberals".

can we really know what is good or what is evil to say which one is winning? all the causes and all the results have some sort of evilness even though they are claimed to be good, and evil ones have some sort of goodness within. i believe in moral relativism, and thus right and wrong are variables.

Well... at least for now that's true.... until some lame-brain from PETA gets civil rights for animals. \n\nHowever you will need more than just an animal's lack of rights to win a debate. Though a good starting point, you will need to build on that primes. Tout the benefits derived from making sure drugs are safe before using them on Humans...

There was just published a study (I can get the reference if you need it) that people who choose dogs who have bad reputations (Pit bulls, rottweillers, dobermans etc) are far more likely to have criminal records or be addicted to drugs or alcohol.  \n\nIt supports the idea that there are no bad dogs, just bad owners.
