ParticipantYes I do realize this is the third thread I created today.
But seriously.
Bill said: This shit’s getting old.In response to:
PETA issued in a statement that:
“He isn’t the Buddha, he’s a human being and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act.”Way to just degrade humanity to a new level PETA.
Thanks.

Update: Screw PETA. I don’t like them at all anymore.Sigh said:
WATERBURY, Vt. — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow’s milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman.“PETA’s request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow’s milk in the food he serves,” the statement says.
PETA Urges Ben & Jerry’s To Use Human Milk
PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health.
“The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn’t make sense,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “Everyone knows that ‘the breast is best,’ so Ben & Jerry’s could do consumers and cows a big favor by making the switch to breast milk.”
“We applaud PETA’s novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother’s milk is best used for her child,” said a spokesperson for Ben and Jerry’s.You gotta be kidding me.
And last but not least: Hypocrites they are:
Source said: Public Records: PETA Found Adoptive Homes for Less than 1 out of 300 AnimalsAnimal lovers worldwide now have access to more than a decade’s worth of proof that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) kills thousands of defenseless pets at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. Since 1998, PETA has opted to “put down” 21,339 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens instead of finding homes for them.
PETA’s “Animal Record” report for 2008, filed with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, shows that the animal rights group killed 95 percent of the dogs and cats in its care last year. During all of 2008, PETA found adoptive homes for just seven pets.
Just seven animals — out of the 2,216 it took in. PETA just broke its own record.
Why would an animal rights group secretly kill animals at its headquarters? PETA’s continued silence on the matter makes it hard to say for sure. But from a cost-saving standpoint, PETA’s hypocrisy isn’t difficult to understand: Killing adoptable cats and dogs – and storing the bodies in a walk-in freezer until they can be cremated – requires far less money and effort than caring for the pets until they are adopted.
PETA has a $32 million annual budget. But instead of investing in the lives of the thousands of flesh and blood creatures in its care, the group spends millions on media campaigns telling Americans that eating meat, drinking milk, fishing, hunting, wearing leather shoes, and benefiting from medical research performed on lab rats are all “unethical.”
The bottom line: PETA’s leaders care more about cutting into their advertising budget than finding homes for the nearly six pets they kill on average, every single day.
The Virginia Beach SPCA, just down the road from PETA’s Norfolk headquarters, manages to adopt out the vast majority of the animals in its care. And it does it on a shoestring budget.
Years of public outrage has not been enough to convince PETA to eliminate its pet eradication program.
Now the death toll of animals in PETA’s care has reached 21,339, including more than 2,000 pets last year. That’s not an animal charity. It’s a slaughterhouse.

ParticipantThat reminds me of the latest shenanigans of that “Non Sequitor” comic. Some stupid martian came down, and just to be a cliche asshole the comic maker has to put down humanity and call us immature and stuff.

When I first read the thing on breast milk, I was like, WTF?
If baby cows aren’t getting enough milk, then why are we still getting milk from the baby cows that have matured into adults?
It doesn’t make sense, because cows produce tons of milk each day, so there should be enough for everyone.
And come on,breast milk? That’s dang disgusting. I’ve accidentally tasted breast milk before, and it’s not very tasty.
EDIT: When I read the title for “CNBC Breaking News: Obama Swats a Fly” I was like: OMG OMG OBAMA SWATTED A FLY OMG WOOW!!!

ParticipantPETA is even affiliated with people who firebombed research labs that tested on animals.
Watch this episode of Penn & Teller, it’ll teach you stuff PETA would prefer to hide.

ParticipantPETA is retarded.
Even their NAME sounds like a food filled with meat. -
