Like many people have mentioned and questioned, what exactly is PETA’s objective? The only thing aside from biological and physical terrorism they’ve done towards their goal is whine about animal conditions. They never step up to take care of their own "problems" with animal treatment aside from physically harming the people involved in it. Just take this following "action alert" they have posted on their website:

Urge Palermo Highway Department Not to Kill Local Beaver

"Over the last month, PETA has been inundated with calls about John Rice, the Palermo Highway Department superintendent who plans to trap and kill a local beaver who took up residence in a small pond at the south end of Factory Road a few months ago despite offers from PETA and from Beavers, Wetlands & Wildlife to assist Mr. Rice and install exclusion devices to prevent the beaver from damaging the culvert and the road.

"Mr. Rice claims that he is 'well educated' on beaver control and intends to proceed with plans to kill the beaver because Palermo has removed 37 beavers in the last year to alleviate flooding problems. However, the death toll illustrates precisely why trapping, shooting, or otherwise removing beavers from an area of concern is only a short-term solution and will not adequately address the long-term problems associated with beaver activity. As long as areas remain attractive or accessible to beavers, more animals will simply move in from surrounding areas to fill the newly vacant niches, resulting in a perpetual and vicious trap-and-kill cycle.

"Not only is trapping beavers ineffective, it’s also extremely cruel. The body-gripping type of trap that Mr. Rice intends to use to capture and kill the beaver causes immeasurable suffering.

"Please contact Mr. Rice, as well as Town Clerk Jean Gulliver, as soon as possible and politely ask that the town of Palermo rely only on humane methods to resolve conflicts with beavers:

John Rice, Highway Superintendent
Town of Palermo Highway Department
County Rte. 45
Fulton, NY 13069

315-598-8634
315-593-1336

Now we have the entirety of PETA after this guy not trapping beavers that screw with the land around and would eventually wreak havoc on the roadway. For one, almost anyone from PETA past this part of road that became deteriorated because of their efforts would probably comment on how bumpy the road is when passing over the stretch of road affected.

Another thing that bugs me is that nobody from PETA would bother doing anything more than writing a "friendly but firm" letter telling the people to not do their job. God forbid they actually go out and humanely trap the beaver and relocate it to somewhere where it won’t do harm.

You know why? They know that the beaver probably doesn’t hold that same "don’t harm other living creatures" mentality and would bite the shit out of the PETA freaks for kidnapping his ass. That’s not counting the feeling of taking him away from that dam he put countless hours eating at trees and dragging them into the water, just to have some big smelly people rape your idea of freedom and take you away.

And we have Herman, a kindly Hermit crab (not too many creative juices flowing, I see) who was released back into "freedom" recently. Freedom is in parenthesis simply because he was probably eaten more viciously than he would have ever been treated in captivity, moments after his triumphant return to the wild. The sad thing about this whole thing is that I’m not joking. A guy on a kayak, as well as another guy filming the entire event took out Herman in a bucket to some island, only to stand there for at least a half hour while the stupid thing realized that he could go outside of the bucket. I think it would have been cooler had the guy chucked him as far as he could into the ocean. That way, at least he could go out with adrenaline in his system.

Look at the thing...musta cost a good 50 cents at Pet World.

I’d just really like to see where this crab is now, and I’m willing to put good money down that he’s dead. Good job, PETA! You know what’s best for them! NOBODY can tell you different! Yay YOU!

We also have Thanksgiving coming up, in which millions of turkeys are horribly killed and prepared into tasty meals that the entire family can enjoy. Too bad this isn’t kosher with PETA. There are several "action alerts" about small towns having turkey dinners, and to again write in to not eat turkey, in effect taking the soul away from the holiday. Imagine playing baseball with a bowling ball. What’s more is I find this picture on their site:

Of course it’s a cartoon…kids who like to eat tofu pot pies are a work of fiction.

I mean, come on! I can’t think of normal grown ups who would like tofu pot pies; that’s just almost blasphemous towards Thanksgiving itself. At least with turkey, the kids would eat because it tasted unlike bean ass. But again, PETA shocked me with this little number:

What in the hell…

See, I had always thought that giving kids adequate nutrition was a good thing, but apparently PETA has "proven" otherwise. Their gall now suggests that feeding children meat or meat by-products constitutes child abuse. In my opinion, a protein-starved child is sad. Muscle strength and other various health issues become apparent when neglecting a food group. But just the idea of feeding a kid meat is horrid and evil…that’s just peachy keen!

I think Ninja R has a better example of the true kid’s thoughts...

Try getting a kid to eat all vegetables without paying him. I dare you.

All in all, in my opinion, PETA is retarded. Always pimping out the celebrities that become activist/attention/publicity whores, wreaking biological havoc, and attempting to brainwash people into thinking that they are a righteous front for justice and a good cause, and yet they are the same as any other extremists, only open to what they think is right, no matter how common senseless it is.

All of these acts were committed in August 2003 alone. Yeah, great job promoting the "animals deserve rights too" mindset. Apparently, the only way to grant animal rights is to take away human lives in equally or greater means than the suffering animals endure.

I’m not saying to completely abandon all hope for animal rights, just think about what you’re doing beforehand. I treat animals I come across with respect, and I like burgers. To PETA, I’m a hypocrite, but you know what?

PETA BLOWS.
