Peta Kills Animals

I never seen Alpha Centauri. But I think for the most part, the PETA video is not a very skewed movie, so far as propaganda goes. The narrator does request at the end for the viewer to try and become a vegetarian, but that's about it.

I agree that PETA's principles and actions are also unethical, but that wasn't what I was pining for in this thread. I did not specifically state a point in this thread. I was hoping the more intelligent members of this board would draw my same conclusion and reply with it here, simply for discussion's sake, and hopefully to help spread empathy and knowledge of the unethical slaughter of animals for food. Skreename did a fine job in my opinion.

But despite, I think the point was indeed lost in this thread. Some of the posts here were negatively reactionary and dismissive. I don't know if this is because some of the repliers in this post did not entertain the video, or because their principles and judgment override any sympathy.

I do not think that anyone here is stupid enough to argue that we should strive to make an animal's wildlife survival more humane in terms of predator and prey, but it seems in this post that other posters do believe there are some here who are stupid enough to believe this, and took to arguing against that. PETA itself, insofar as I know, is not trying to save animals in the wild from their predators for the lone sake of their horrible deaths.

In a measurement of harshness, a death in the wild does not equate to the deaths in the video. These animals are not caught after living a duration of their lives and killed. They are bred, many genetically, and live lives of incredible suffering, and deaths of horror; in my opinion, a horror greater than that of a predator's.

Personally, I would prefer to have one day, after living my life until now, 21 years, find myself in the Sahara, being mawed and eaten alive by lions, than to find myself born one day, genetically altered to be horribly fat, live amongst the decaying smell of my brethren, have my penis removed with with a clamp and shears, transported one day through the cold, and held by rope downside-up as a dull, blood stained blade tears through my sides, avulsing my cheeks, thighs, stomach, until the hemorrhaging sends me into a terrifying, self-isolated near-death experience until my brain has finally completed the last of its semi-conscious chemical reactions, and I die drizzling blood.

It does not take my ability to do math or reason, or appreciate the sunset to by terror go insane, or to experience a life of pain. Animals die every day, and PETA kills animals. Yet I still find this a fantastic alternative to what I have described. I'm not arguing for PETA, and it is a consequence, not a pride, that it is a PETA video, and not a more reasonable institution whose rights are of the video. Nevertheless, it carries a strong message.

Yea but the whole mentality behind the meat processing is not only severe and needless cruelty to animals but it is about hording all the food for one country. While in other countries the life expectency is going down due to famine and disease among other things, the life expectency in the US is predicted to be lower in our generation BECAUSE of all these goddamned processed foods and shit.

Vyper, you ARE wrong. How is it more painful to be killed by a lion or something than starving to death in your own feces because your legs broke due to your obesity after getting your eyes clawed out by a chicken stacked on top of you?

We already had this conversation before.

Another thing... if humans weren't meant to consume other animals, why have we been doing it for several thousand years? It's natural selection, humans created technology to make this more efficient. Unless you ARE in fact a cow, you shouldn't have a problem with it. If your motive is to preserve animals such as pigs and cows, make your own farm and tell everyone to get the fuck out; otherwise, shut up and eat your fucking meatloaf!

The funny thing is, I think the animals getting slaughtered have more purpose in life than those mongoloids trying to preserve everything. When those morons die after failing a meaningless protest, they are left in the ground to rot like everyone else without accomplishing anything and usually get pissed on afterwards; Blatent Failure. The animals getting slaughtered are there to get fat and sell as poultry without any knowledge of what's going on in the world. Ignorance is bliss! When they die, they're useful... they serve a valid purpose that has been repeated more times than you have had hot meals... become someone's dinner. Honestly, I am thankful the cows exist and I hope they go to a better place.

Depending on what part of the globe you come from, animals are going to be treated differently, it's CULTURE. We identify which animals are appropriate to become our pets and we take care of them, NOT because PETA told us so. Why? It's old news...

fter identifying which animals are considered pets (namely the animals in pet stores), we can call foul play against anyone caught abusing them. Most animals are not doomed to fall victim under the human's diet. I still don't understand why people complicate such a simple fact.
