<p>PETA=People Eating Tasty Animals</p>

<p>But seriously these people (PETA) and similar groups (Earth Liberation Front, Green Peace) are nothing but environmental terrorists and need to be taken out/deported/sent to prision for hate crimes.</p>

<p>LOL thats some funny stuff</p>

<p>But I agree with Joev… these organizations are full of so much crap its pathetic. Definitely terrorists of their respective topics.</p>

<p>PETA, ELF, and Greenpeace are all very different, and I think it’s rather harmful and misleading to lump them together in a single “domestic terror” category. PETA in no way advocates acts of terrorism to promote their animal-rights agenda, and does not expressly condone the actions of such groups as the Earth Liberation Front or the Animal Liberation Front, groups that propagate violence in the name of AR. Even if one doesn’t neccessarily agree with the lifestyle choices advocated by PETA, it’s absurd to reject their cause based on allegations that are untrue.</p>

<p>I’m not trying to start a fight or anything, just sharing my thoughts.</p>

<p>The problem is that PETA (and other such organizations) goes too far in its attempts to pursue its goals, using sensationalism, intimidation, etc. PETA’s own founder calls animals “todays slaves”, and juxtaposes images of animals with pictures of Nazi concentration camps. I mean seriously, people. This is ridiculous. Human slavery still exists today, and yet PETA would have us believe that animals are the major victims of modern injustices.</p>

<p>Oh yes, and to say that PETA does not condone the actions of terror groups… that is incorrect as well. According to PETA’s own tax returns, they paid over $50,000 to rodney coronado, who later admitted to firebombing a university research lab.</p>

<p>PETA members have poisoned show dogs at dog shows with anti-freeze, explaining that these dogs were better off dead. I have only known one member of PETA, and she wouldn’t hurt a fly, but the leadership of that organization is definitely “out there”.</p>

<p>When I first heard about PETA, back in the '70’s I think, their mission seemed to be to protect animals being used in laboratory experiments. However, since then, the group seems to have been hi-jacked by radicals of various persuasions.</p>
