Any message they may have is completly gone because of their tactics. They don't know how to effectivly go about things.
Annoying, yes. I also think they are misguided. I can't think of anything more unethical then causing a animal species to become extinct (which mostly occurs as a result of habitat loss). Even with an income of over 15 million dollars (as of 2000, maybe more now), they spend exactly ZERO dollars of conservation of animal habitats.
When I was vegan, PETA annoyed me. When I was vegan, other vegans annoyed me. I'm really tired of all of their arguments and fallacies. OH NO, OUR TEETH MAKE US HERBIVORES. Great. Some snakes don't even have teeth and they eat other animals. They always seem to forget about our main tools: Hands, brain, and speech.
they claim by their not eating meat, they all already conserving habitats since so many habitats are being destroyed for cattle or to raise food for livestock all they have to do is call everyone stupid
yea peta has kinda become the homebase for hollywood elitest people that think thier shit doesnt stink
I once saw two women, who were protesting for PETA, walking, basicly naked, down a busy street, in Baltimore Maryland. Since then, I have found it difficult to be annoyed at the group.
It would be more credible if they said that they were de facto saving habitat by not using wood products. The net conservation of habitat by not eating meat is very minimal compared to outright buying and preseving.
If you ever meet ingrid newkirk, the founder (I have) your first impression will be "Here's an arrogant bitch who loves standing in the limelight". And you'd be 100% correct. It's not about saving animals. It's about getting 14 year old vegan hippie chicks who love kitties and horsies to do your dirty work and then stand in front of a camera and take all the credit for raising awareness and a few bucks. Fuck PETA.
