PETA Goes Anti-Human (Again)
— Ace

At Gizmodo, a story about PETA's latest ~~advertising campaign~~ nasty, anti-human, stunted emotional development provocation.

Charles Wickersham, a 21-year-old guy, was bitten by a shark while fishing with his friends in the Bay Area near Anna Maria Island. Sharks. Bite. Near death. Beyond scary. Anyone with a modicum of a soul would hope that Wickersham gets better (he's still in intensive care right now) and lives a happy life. Those more equipped might help with the hospital bills or raise awareness on how to prevent such animal accidents from happening. A human survived a traumatic shark attack, what a story that is, amiright? That's normal behavior for normal people with normal emotions.
PETA is not normal. No. They're insane.
In response to Wickersham's accident, those heartless pricks are launching an insensitive ad campaign against all types of fishing. They're using a man, who almost died, as their soapbox. Their rallying call. Might as well accuse him of being Michael Vick, why don't you. Their photo, which will be plastered across benches and billboards in the Bay Area, shows a shark chewing on a bloody human "drumstick" (leg) with the tagline: "Payback is Hell. Go Vegan."

I was trying to think of a way to push back against PETA. The only thing I can think of is to set up a website promoting meat-consumption every time they run one of these viciously anti-human ads. Something like a mass agreement to go to a meat-serving restaurant during a specific week. And maybe not just meats, but the sort of meats that PETA gets especially weepy over -- veal, for example. Or game meats, venison, bunny rabbits. There are some neat restaurants that specialize in hunted, exotic meats, like ostrich or kangaroo.

Maybe set the week 45 days in advance, to make sure restaurants get booked up and have time to stock up (more little cows being killed!).

And have an automatically-generated email to PETA for each sign-up, informing them that a Precious Little Animal who wasn't previously in any danger would now be executed due to their actions.

The idea wouldn't be to just do this generally, but in specific response to their anti-human provocations, their glib Holocaust of Chickens equivalencies, this latest monstrosity. Let them agitate like non-deranged people without incident -- who cares if they do another nudity-themed campaign.

But when they become deranged (as they always do), then let an Apocalypse of Fuzzy Cute Creatures begin.

We should let them know that humans bite back, too.

Thanks to JohnE.

Posted by: RushBabe, Tea Hadeh at September 29, 2011 06:34 AM (tQHzJ)

4 Fact: PETA believes animals have the same value as human life.

Fact: Kill rates at PETA animal shelters are around 75%.

Conclusion: PETA has a slightly higher value for human life than the Global Climate Change community does.

9 Frankly, the best way to marginalize PETA would be simply to give them all the publicity they want.

There are no rational human beings who would support this campaign, or support an organization that thought this add campaign was something that would be okay to do.

15 How about this, Ace?

For every piece of meat they don't eat, I eat three pieces. This way, not only am I offsetting their meat consumption, by only eating two pieces, I am increasing the total meat consumption via one extra piece eaten entirely out of spite (and deliciousness).

22 Vegans just like to kill things that can't scream.

This is a good question for PETA- if there is no moral difference between a human and an animal (which they claim to believe- but don't), why is there a moral difference between an animal and a vegetable?

And if there is no moral difference between an animal and a vegetable, aren't the only morally acceptable options a) cannibalism (because then you're only "preying" on your own species) or b) starvation?

What they actually believe, of course, is that animals are more valuable than people (except them, of course), and so humans have a moral duty to sacrifice their own well-being for that of an animal.

PETA and meat are like Muslims and pork or alcohol. It isn't really like kryptonite to them -- that's just a public assertion intended to delegitimize existing society in order to grab power.

The best way to answer PETA is to showcase their human-hatred and their hypocrisy. The euthanization of thousands of 'rescued' animals is a good example. See Penn and Teller PETA episode.

The blog post itself is a hodgepodge of made up facts to rile people up about an event that was totally legal and would have been a non story if he shot a different bear. These people really don't have a clue about how nature works.

143 Speaking of reverse attacks against supposedly well meaning groups that are over-obsessed with the environment: I got an email from the Sierra Club a few days ago, titled "Will Congress Give your Wilderness Away?" Apparently there is currently a public lands bill in Congress, that if passed would open up 50 million acres of wildlands for mining, drilling, logging, ATVs, etc. (Has anyone anywhere reported about this bill? I swear this is the first I'm hearing about it) http://tinyurl.com/3mjeo9c They have a form you fill out with your info (the kind of form that a drunk monkey could fill out) and with one button it sends your letter right to your particular congresscritter. No numbers to look up! Just put your state and zip code and it automatically sends it! (And we wonder why our side seems slower on the uptake than the dems; proof right here of why.) http://tinyurl.com/5we4u5d Maybe morons could use the form for a reverse attack, tell their congressperson they DO want the lands opened up? (I can't change the heading, I don't think, so that might not work, if a congressional aid is lazy and only looks at the email heading and assumes you are thus against the bill.) OR use this to spur on their own write-in campaign supporting the bill? But we need to fight fire with fire. I love the wilderness areas of Utah as much as any one, but MOST OF OUR STATE IS WILDERNESS, that we are not allowed to touch in any way. And we need new jobs and more energy resources and more land for people and so on RIGHT NOW. In the religion that is environmental conservation, people ALWAYS are the biggest losers; maybe for once this gives us an opportunity to do right for all the people in our state, if they want it. It gives US, not the government, a chance to decide what to do with our state's land; how can anyone be against that? Anyway, they make it sound like as soon as the bill is passed, the states would just pave over these areas of natural beauty and put up Walmarts or something, which is ridic. Can morons look at the slideshow showing places in their regions (pretty much all the western and pacific states would be affected) and tell me more about these supposed precious sites that might be opened up? Would this be a good thing for that region and for your state? If it is, tell your congressman! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sierraclub/6104026420/in/photostream/

PETA -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Let's see ...

The "People" part is first, referring to themselves, of course. I'd call this anthropocentric, but it's really egocentric.

Then there's "Ethical," meaning ... I don't know what that means. Is this the same ethical standard that classifies the drilling of an oil well as a form of rape?

I'm familiar with this ilk's "Treatment" of animals, too. This is the same mindset that prompts people to spray paint baby seals in the Arctic with bright colors in order to make their fur worthless to furriers while disregarding the reason that the seals are white to begin with.

And "Animals," but only certain animals. They seem patrial to carnivorous animals -- that shark comes to mind. They're always trying to save a tiger or a bear or a shark, but those predators will only kill other animals if let to their own natures. Maybe, when they watch TV and see a lion rip a living gazelle apart, they think that's beautiful or ethical or something.

Before she died (I was in college and saw her infrequently), she looked gaunt and weakened. Granted, she had smoked since she was in her 20s, as she had been a dancer and was in excellent physical condition otherwise--I tell people it wasn't smoking that killed her, it was the quitting, coupled with malnutrition.

The argument goes that animals are innocents and should not be subjected to being food for human consumption because it is morally wrong to inflict pain and death, i.e.; increase suffering, on these creatures when alternative food sources, that do not require the imposition of suffering, are available. I disagree with this argument. This is interesting only because many of these animal ethics advocates despise PETA and its tactics.

My personal response to PETA is to eat some form of animal protein at every, single, meal for the rest of my life.

Follow the money. PETA exists solely to collect donations from people who need to feel better about themselves by pretending to be superior to the rest of us rubes who, like human beings throughout all history, like to eat meat. Those donations' sole purpose is to pay the salaries of people who work at PETA. This is true of nearly all of the non-profit advocacy industry. Their advocacy has nothing to do with changing public opinion or public policy; it is simply advertising the product they are selling. That product is providing psychological balm to guilty liberal fools. The price of the product is a donation.

The best thing to do with PETA and other liberal advocacy groups whose yammering clutters up our lives is to ignore them, just like I ignore the New York Times (by not buying it or reading it), Time and Newsweek (ditto), the network news (by not watching it), and most billboards (by driving by and getting on with my own life).

About fifty dudes from Alabama could fix that in a couple of weeks. The licenses alone would bring in a fortune.

Agreed. Out-of-state licenses for an entire season run in the hundreds of dollars, not even getting into your various stamps for deer, turkey, etc.

Hell, my GF's family could probably go up there for a few weeks, take care of their overpopulation problem, and have enough meat to last until next hunting season. That meat could also be used to feed the hungry, if CT has a program anything like the ones in Louisiana.

At the individual donor level, you're probably right. But at the large endowment level, there's definitely a "changing public opinon or public policy" angle. Many of the worst anti-freedom laws we've seen in the last 50 years have originated as advocacy and policy papers by non-profits, funded by rich liberal cockholsters who use the non-profits as a weapon against liberty.

193 Peta doesn't seem to realize that even without human predation fish brutally eat the shit out of each other (and each other's babies or fry) ALL THE TIME. All animals generally exist in a state of constant naturally imposed cruelty. So do most plants. That doesn't make beating a dog a nice thing for humans to do, but wake up PETA, life is cruel. It's a struggle for space, protein(other creatures), and the ability to mate and EVERYBODY loses that struggle eventually.

We should have a PETA Reaction Team; everytime they start a new campaign, we all, at the minumum, buy and eat meat on that day. Otherwise, we hunt or fish that day. So they get that their protests get more animals killed -- by design.

If that is true there is only one thing left for them, not us, to eat and the Spanish word is mierda....WM

202 117 1) No such thing as a healthy vegan--they cannot get the calories and vitamins necessary. And every one of the fucks cheat because they have to take vitamin supplements. Big Pharma whores, every one.
2) Make these people grow their own food, and they'd die in month. Plus, every one of them relies on food grown most definitely by some one who has to eat meat to get the calories necessary to work 12+ hours a day required to harvest it. Hypocrites.

Posted by: anon at September 29, 2011 11:04 AM (ibeMV)

Far be it from me (a vegetarian) to stop the PETA hatefest because they are assholes but your first point is just false. There are very healthy, successful vegan athletes, including Olympian gold medalist (10 times) Carl Lewis. They just have to be a bit more vigilant about their calories and nutrients.

Vegans can grow food too, just like anyone else. Your second comment reminds me of Elizabeth Warren's bullshit about no one being successful without using roads and services other people paid for.

I don't understand why any individual person's choice to forgo something you enjoy is so offensive and apparently threatening to so many here. Not all vegans and vegetarians are militant assholes about their food choices. You sound like the very people you ridicule. As conservatives you're better than that.

211 I would identify restaurants and other companies that have been targeted by PETA (wasn't KFC in their cross-hairs for a while?) and have an "everyone eat at PETA-targeted restaurant night/week".

PETA loses a lot of their power if they can no longer bully companies & organizations into capitulating to their demands (they're more like Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow/Push sham). They stopped trying to influence individuals a long time ago - bigger fish to extort/bully, like KFC or Hollywood.

212 Paul predicted people like PETA and others who command you to abstain from eating meat. See 1 Timothy 4:1-4 (21st Century KJB).

1. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils,

2. speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron,

3. forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving;
