Totally absurd,,, but you know,,, you are talking about it - so maybe being so stupid is brilliant?!

Go a few threads higher, watch the videos on the tree huggers........they are as insane as P(ta. Then tell me these folks are brilliant.




I'm not telling you that they are brilliant - because I don't know...

I HATE this side of PETA with a passion,,,, I personally think they do more harm than good with these absurd tactics....

I'm just thinking aloud... that maybe there's method to PETA's madness that I just don't get... I mean, it is on all the news channels & websites, is being spread through forums like this one...

I still hate it,,
but is it effective?

And my question to PETA,,, that I don't know the answer to is - aren't there better tactics to get your message out? Is the magnitude of the attention you get effective even if it turns some off? Are you really even getting a message out,, or just making eyes roll,,,,

The eye roll thing would be my guess. Just like the rantings of most idiots. People tune in to laugh, not to take them seriously.

Exactly! You want people on your side and behind your cause, not to turn them away thinking, "lunatics!" Who would take them seriously?

It's definitely one of their stupid tactics just to try to prove a point. Breast milk could never be used and they know it can't. It's a human bodily fluid and can spread HIV just as blood can. And no testing is 100%, not even for blood products. And they know that. They just want us to compare the poor cows to a poor mom who has to pump their breasts so they can make the analogy. They want to make the animals equal to humans.

Exactly, besides, isn't a tiger a carnivour?
Aren't humans carnivours and herbivours?
Are they going to be angry at tigers for being meat eaters?
Silly. They would have us not eat meat.
The tree huggers say we are cruel to plants.
Left to them we would have to eat rocks.
Now they suggest we eat our own body fluids. Blech!
I will have a steak, and a salad, and laugh at them for entertainment! Bon appetite!

Personally, I think all species have a right to life...but drinking breast milk is "over the top".

What I can't understand is why the employees of the killing farms find it necessary to be cruel and sexually abuse the livestock. My mom raised chickens and eventually chopped their neck; however, in between, the chickens weren't molested.

Am I a member of PETA? No, but I don't knowingly each flesh.

Do you eat salad? It is alive when you eat it. If your a vegitarian, no harm no foul. Cruelty to animals even for consumtion is wrong and few would condone it. But I think eating meat or not is a personal choice. Some, not you, take their feelings to the extreme and expect the world to comply.

I've never cuddled a lettuce! I have cuddled piglets, chicks, puppies, and kittens! Even fed fish in a pond and petted a possum accidentally!

Can't call myself a true vegetarian 'cause I eat dairy products. I think if I decided to start eating meat again, I'd do what some native cultures did...honor the sacrifice of the meal. Not visually, of course, 'cause then I'd look like a loonytoons! :lol:

I hear Ted Nugent prays or something to that effect before the meal and honors the life that he took. No problem with that either.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'killing farms'; I've been on battery farms, and in a large abatoir, and no, not very nice. It's the 'sexually abuse' bit I don't get.

This P@TA milk issue will never fly. I don't think the government will allow human excretion to be consumed by the general public. Plus how would the government regulate it? If someone's getting paid to provide milk, how's anyone going to be able to keep track of how much money individuals are making? I've worked as a controller for a large company in the past and when we would buy human body parts for experiments being conducted, those were tax exempt, meaning we didn't have to pay taxes when we purchased them. Body parts are tax excempt. So I would have to wonder about human milk. Usually food items are not taxable, with the exception of like stuff with carbination in it. Carbinated beverages are taxable, because of the carbination in it. The problem with the breast milk is someones making money producing it. But the real issue here is I strongly doubt that the health department will allow human excretion to be sold and consumed by the general public. Who would fucking eat ice creme with that shit in it anyways? Humans can pass drugs and diseases through breast milk, if the donor has any such items in their system. Cows don't take drugs to alter the way they think like humans do. And cows don't catch stuff like AIDS and HIV like humans. And those are exactly what humans can pass on to other humans via excretion, in this scenario breast milk.

Bottom line, this bullshit P@TA issue is never going to fly.

Couldn't remember what specific farms are called, so I called it a killing farm. :)

Apparently, PETA has sent people undercover at some farms to film events to show what goes on there. The films show employees fiddling with animals' genitalia or whatever. I was sent links to view them, but I didn't watch so I can't be more specific.

Of course, the films could be staged or the PETA undercover could have egged the behavior on. Anything can be staged nowadays, don't you agree?
