I'm Truly Troubled

[Rick]

I happened to land on a site this afternoon that showed an animal being skinned. I'm not going to post the URL because it was utterly disgusting. The animal was still alive and I was truly horrified at the site of it. I mean truly horrified. Even after the animal had been skinned it was still alive.

This was a PETA site! They are using this film to gather donations. They give you all kinds of links to place this vile film on your web site or email it to others!!!

I sent them an email. I doubt I receive a response but in short I told them by using the vid they were no better than the folks doing the skinning.

PETA sucks. I'm completely disgusted at them. I've never seen anything so horrible and I can't get that animals face out of my mind. They made an enemy for life. PETA sucks.

Thanks for alerting us to this travesty, Rick. PETA has been out of control for years.

I hate to see stuff like that too,,, It weighs on me for a long time, I even turn away when they show those commercials on TV,, you know the ones,, sorry you seen that Rick, Thanks for not posting the link, cause I would probably still click on it like an idiot.

That was a very stupid decision on their part. How retarded.

[crashdive123]

I place PETA right up there with any eco-terrorist group. They will exploit anything and stop at nothing to further their cause. Their tactics are reprehensible, their causes questionable. They truly do disgust me as well.

I've never really liked peta either. Most of the stuff I've seen, though, just seems dumb. Like an elephant rolling around in the hay. How about
suprememastertv.com
What is this group, I wonder? Found them on a library bag, of all things...

How about rolling your way over to the Introductions section?

Remember their Sea Kittens ad? When they tried, yet again, to brainwash kids into thinking animals have feelings just like people?
Google the term "sea kittens". I won't help their cause by linking to their site.
I will link this:

I've never cared for them or their tactics. Remember the "got prostate cancer?" add they did with Giuliani? Crash is right, they are eco-terrorists.

Was it the raccoon skinning video? I've seen it before.
It is not promotional material, and they are no more peaceful activists than the Abortion Bomb Squad.. you know.. the groups that blow up clinics and murder doctors, and nurses and take them away from their families and loved ones over a pound of unborn flesh?..
PETA falls under that same category of extreme activism, even though they haven't actually murdered anyone, yet...
Next thing you know, they'll be blowing up zoo's and sea-worlds all over the continent, and saying they are saving animals lives.

I am all for humane treatment of animals and for every animal I kill, I say a prayer and thank the good lord for blessing me with food, tools, clothing, etc. I treat every animal with the utmost respect and dignity.

Seems to me, as concerned as they are about saving animals, they'd all be down on the coast helping clean up and stop the oil leak in the gulf. THAT would be saving animals. Instead they take a sideline to real-world problems and can only focus on something done in another country (If we are talking about the same video).

PETA is a facade, and a charade. Buncha fakers who don't really understand the ideas they are promoting. PETA sucks.

I think PETA only proves not all the nuts are in the woods. Now as to skinning, some humans may deserve it.

[finallyME]

Reminds me of the incident around here a while ago. A couple of PETA guys broke into a mink farm and let them all loose to save them. The majority of the "free" animals died within a day. Yep, they are all free now. I guess I could find a link.....oh well.

so wait
you saw a video of animals being skinned alive, and youre mad at PETA....?

wouldnt placing your anger towards the people doing the live skinning be a more logical reaction?

not trying to be a hippy here or anything, but it seems stupid to blame PETA for showing you something that is actually happening

Bravo for PETA! People need to see the barbarity and cruelty inflicted on defenseless animals by the tens of thousands every day. GOOD FOR PETA!!!!

Sure, in a survival situation or a true hunger situation, yes, harvest the animal. But do it humanely by a clean kill first!

[crashdive123]

Hey jbt - how about heading to the Intro section and tell us a bit about yourself. Thanks.

I'd like to say something in response. However, the Forum software "cleans" profanity and name-calling is not allowed here.

I think he was being sarcastic Ken. But maybe not.

Everybody has an opinion and that's cool. Not everybody is right though.
