Fuck PETA, and the chicken they rode in on!

1. Eating a bucket of KFC is like nazis eating cooked Jews

That's something of a message that I would imagine coming to mind with these folks. They really take vegan seriously. Actually, some Jewish groups in Germany sued PETA because they compared the treatment of, I think, poultry to the treatment of Jews during the Holocaust.

2. Google images for those posters.

:puke:

I'm all for crusading for ethical treatment... but use some frickin' common sense.

[Hobarticus]

3. Extremism is ugly, and cheapens the cause, no matter how valid...

Sadly, I think that's all PETA knows.

[redqueen]

6. And that thing they handed out to children? "Your mommy kills animals!"

Inexcusable... no matter how you slice it.

I thought throwing blood on people was bad... I had NOOOOO idea.

[Hobarticus]

7. Jesus H. Christ...they sound like pro-life freakazoids now....

That's obscene.

I may agree with them in principle, but I'll never support crackpots like that.

11. Subtle eh?

[Hobarticus]

14. OMG...I had no idea. That's it. PETA's fucked in the head.

Who in their right mind would hand that to a child?

[ohiosmith]

4. I'll have that wing if no one else wants it.

[roguevalley]

19. I saw the video of the bastards who work at a processing plant

kicking the crap out of chickens and laughing about it. Haven't touched KFC since. GO PETA!

[redqueen]

20. I won't eat KFC...

but I sure won't support PETA, either.

[Mr. Flibble]

5. I refuse to fuck chickens, so there!

[ohiosmith]

9. I don't know. Some of those Rhode Island Reds are pretty hot.

[Mr. Flibble]

21. They're only hot when wearing this:

[ohiosmith]

23. Or garter belts and heels.

[ForrestGump]

36. For you...

[kurtyboy]

8. Actually, um, they rode in on

A bundle of asparagus. The chicken was released into the Wisconsin wild where it was eaten by an un-spayed feral cat, which in turn died of a cancer resulting from pesticides sprayed on the asparagus crop.....

[Hobarticus]

16. Nice wrap-up of about a half-dozen threads...eom

[redqueen]

12. They're not as noble as the Jains anyway.

[Bouncy Ball]

13. Flamebait, nice.

:eyes:

[ohiosmith]

18. Merci buckets

[Mizmoon]

15. I like PETA - they are brilliant

they took an issue that no one really cared about, animal rights, and made it into a major cause. Excellent work.

Progressives could learn something from them. They are highly effective.

[Hobarticus]

17. Yes, progressives should push violent propaganda onto children.

Brilliant.

[Mizmoon]

22. they always go too far

what else is new? It works too.

[Hobarticus]

24. It works in pushing the mainstream away from an issue that

affects us all. PETA's cause should be able to draw people in, and educate them, not scare them into submission.

That's not effective. It's given the cause of animal rights a bad name.

Just an opinion, for what it's worth.

[StopTheMorans]

25. it works at attracting a fringe element to your cause, and alienating the

vast majority. not a feasible strategy for winning elections in a republic AT ALL...

[Mizmoon]

31. not my cause. I had a burger for dinner

I still think they're way effective

[Telly Savalas]

32. Well how effective are they if they can't even change your mind?

[Mizmoon]

33. I would never buy a fur coat

since they have demonstrated so effectively that they are cruel. You can't deny that they single-handedly made fur a major issue.

[Speck Tater]

26. PETA is one of the reasons...

... That most people think liberals are whack job radicals bent on anarchy and chaos.

I hear it all the time. I'm a liberal so I must be a tree-hugging, enviro-terrorist, animal activist whacko, anti-business socialist tax and spend big government nut case who wants to steal every penny from the middle class and give it to lazy welfare queens who refuse to work for a living.

There are just too many borderline insane fruit cakes on the left for my comfort. But at least they are more harmless (relatively speaking) than the borderline insane fruit cakes on the right.

[Hobarticus]

27. VERY good point...PETA has come to personify the progressive/left mindset

Like it or not...they're always held up as an example of left-wing radicalism. Again they give environmental and wildlife issues a bad name

[Dutch]

29. Nicholas Kristof, is that you?

Wow, had no idea I was posting in such illustrious company...

[Dutch]

28. Fuck KFC, and the bucket of fat they wallow in!

What a big man you are, standing up for the poor, persecuted little global fast-food giant, and protecting their right to viciously abuse animals and serve insanitary filth to the public. Bravo!

[ohiosmith]

30. I'm standing up for my right to engage in what is currently a legal

activity. Eat a bucket of unsanitary filthy fat.

BTW: I highly recommend the spell check feature.

[livinginphotographs]

34. Yeah, you go!

You big man! You post flamebait!

You must be pretty insecure to start an entire thread about how you don't care about PETA.

[Robeson]

37. Naw, I think he's just bragging about how he likes to eat dead....

animals. You know, sinking the teeth through the dead animals skins, into the meaty flesh, through the tendons and blood veins, until the teeth stop at the bone, and then securely grabbing the bone, twisting it, until all parts of the animal are ripped from its boney structure, into the mouth, then swallowed. Yep, sounds real appetizing to me....:puke:

[shockra]

35. FUCK "U" KFC!

I just noticed the other day that it's almost an anagram.

Much more appropriate. :P
