Peta steps in to stop rabbit cull. All because one asshole decided to kill one inhumanely. In the meantime 2,000 feral rabbits are allowed to run free through the town, according to someone on the meat rabbits yahoo group.

I made some icons from those funny-as-hell comics from PETA, which were clearly drawn by someone on bad acid.

Free for the taking.

Vegan Shoes?

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:46:16 GMT

A scathing and hilarious endictment of PETA's list of the "10 Best Stores for Vegan Shoes".

Vegan Shoes?

And yes, it's got the obligatory "I didn't know they made shoes that eat meat and dairy" joke in it.

PETA vs Illegal Immigration??

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:15:53 GMT

PETA's border fence propaganda idea: "If the Border Patrol Doesn't Get You, the Chicken and Burgers Will — Go Vegan."

PETA vs Illegal Immigration??

It makes my brain hurt - but at least the idiocy isn't being pointed in MY direction for once - give the rest of the world a taste of PETA's ridiculousness!

Hello.

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:21:15 GMT

I just joined this recently and I am glad there's an anti-PETA community.

I remember when I was 13, I joined this animal rights group on myspace (yes, I had it for a while) which is mostly contained of PETA nazis. I said in my first post "I eat meat. Does that make me a bad person?" After that, I got plenty of shit for saying it like "People who eat meat should die". Hell, one person even said that 'Osama deserves to live more than you'. Osama is a terrorist. I'm just a girl that eats meat. PETA has made alot of ridiculous propaganda (ie."Your Mommy/Daddy kills animals!')

Honestly, I don't care if anyone I know is a vegan or a vegetarian, just let me eat my meat in peace.

PETA Expands Ad Campaign That Uses Teen Pregnancy to Push Pet Message

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:57:59 GMT

Animal rights group PETA is rolling out its controversial "Sex Talk" ad — in which two parents urge their daughter to have a lot of sex and "pop out all the kids you want" — in the top 10 teen pregnancy states to promote spaying and neutering of pets.

Apparently, a dolphin died in the Dolphin Habitat in the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. PETA believes the cause of death was neglect. Seriously, isn't even remotely possible that you know, the dolphin died of natural causes.

PETA vs. The Lobster Zone

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:40:59 GMT

PETA's raising a fuss about The Lobster Zone - a crane game much like the stuffed animal version, except this one is a crane in a tank with lobsters and when you win, you get to eat a delicious lobster.

I'm not sure why PETA is complaining. This crane game gives the lobsters a second chance! They lost the first chance when they wound up in a lobster trap. But now, they can escape from the crane! Instead of a patron picking a lobster and they kill it, now a patron can pick a lobster and maybe they won't have to kill it!

PETA vs The Lobster Zone

Plus, PETA now has a chance to legally rescue these lobsters - they just need some quick hands and a bucket full of quarters!

Peta's Press Release Today -

http://www.peta.org/mc/NewsItem.asp?id=11510
PETA Protest Likens American Kennel Club to KKK

Breeding 'Pure' Bloodlines and Master Pedigrees While Pound Pups Die
Makes the AKC a Ku Klux Klan for Dogs

For Immediate Release:
June 6, 2008

Contact:
Melissa Karpel 757-622-7382

Quincy, Mass. - Holding signs that read, "The AKC is the KKK for
Animals," PETA members will protest in Quincy on Sunday outside a
meeting of delegates and directors of the American Kennel Club (AKC).
PETA's point? It's cruel and irresponsible to promote bloodline dog
breeding and spur interest in "purebreds" while animal shelters overflow
with unwanted mutts who are dying for lack of good homes. Protestors
will show video from a PETA TV spot that shows a KKK member making
himself right at home at an AKC meeting. (Click here to view.) The ad
has aired in various cities, coinciding with AKC-sponsored dog shows:

Date: Sunday, June 8
Time: 12 noon-1 p.m.
Place: Boston Marriott Quincy, 1200 Marriott Dr., Quincy

For every dog or cat purchased from a breeder or a pet store, an animal
awaiting adoption in an animal shelter loses his or her chance of
finding a loving home. And because breeders and pet stores almost never
require that the animals that they sell be sterilized, many of those
animals will have litters of their own--creating even more unwanted
animals. Nearly 8 million animals--many of them purebreds--are abandoned
at animal shelters every year in the U.S., and about 4 million of them
must be euthanized for lack of good homes. The AKC not only promotes
breeding but also vigorously opposes lifesaving spay-and-neuter
legislation designed to combat the animal overpopulation crisis and
reduce euthanasia rates.

"When it comes to contempt for 'mixed breeds' and an obsession with
'pure bloodlines,' the KKK and the AKC have a lot in common," says PETA
Vice President Daphna Nachminovitch. "All dogs should be created equal,
yet millions of wonderful dogs in animal shelters across the country are
paying with their lives because of purebred supremacy."

PETA and Lobsters

PETA is just one step closer to complete insanity, judging by this latest little publicity stunt that will never take off.

They want to turn a Maine prison into a "Lobster Empathy Center".

Luckily, the commissioner chairman saw completely through this publicity stunt.

Chicago vs. PETA: Chicago Wins!

It's been a grueling two-year battle, but the Chicago City Council finally voted and repealed the ban on foie gras!

I personally e-mailed my alderman to ask him to vote to repeal the ban (basically sent him most of Part 2 of this series). I'm wondering if he received my e-mail and if the science and facts helped sway his decision...

PETA vs. Hillary Clinton?

Mon, 05 May 2008 15:11:33 GMT

PETA is actually calling Hillary Clinton culpable for the death of Eight Belles, the filly who broke both front ankles shortly after the Kentucky Derby was over and had to be euthanised. They also call her a criminal in a roundabout way, comparing attending the Kentucky Derby to attending an illegal dogfight.

You have to read it for yourself.

Also, thanks to mizanchan for initially bringing this PETA debacle to my attention.

PETA and Tube Meat

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:07:21 GMT

PETA is offering $1,000,000 to anyone who can make commercially-available tube meat. So what is tube meat, anyway, and how can PETA be in favor of it? The answers will confuse you.

I know they confused me!

Remember those Michael Vick Dogs?

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 03:10:17 GMT

Remember the Michael Vick dogs? Here is an update on them...including PETA weighing in that it is cruel to rehabilitate them, and they should be euthanized.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080308/ap_on_sp_ot/vick_s_underdogs

and the dogs...

http://www.bestfriends.org/

I think it is awesome that they are being rehabilitated, and PETA is just...well, I am not sure what to call them. Sure, the money could do a lot of good for exsisting shelters and animals being euthanized because of population, but the money would be equally useful for buying computers for an inner city school, or being donated to a National Park. The fact is, the money is going to the dogs involved, and is setting a fantastic precidence for dogs with a violent history. Just imagine how wonderful this could be for fighting breed-specific restrictions. (It's not the dog, it's the owner.)

Hopefully no one listens to PeTA anymore, and these dogs and their rehabilitation will continue with glowing results.

PETA vs. Britney Spears

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 14:18:12 GMT

Just had to throw this one out there.

You know, because I hate PETA. I don't exactly like Britney Spears, or all the attention she gets, but she doesn't deserve this. Nobody deserves to be ridiculed by one of the most ridiculous organizations on the planet, especially in this manner.

PETA Not Versus Britney?

Good thing you wanted to spare her the humiliation of pointing out that she wears fur by humiliating her about everything else. Fucking jackasses.

PETA Loves Jail?

That's right! Finally another anti-PETA rant!

This one was supposed to be about the horrible "Top Ten Reasons to go Vegetarian in 2008" list I found linked on their website, but luckily I found a more horrible Top Ten list. Which actually coincided with some other random news story I found that's sure to ruffle PETA's feathers...

PETA vs. CraigsList

Fri, 05 Oct 2007 13:36:20 GMT

Apparently because of an isolated incident of an animal-abuser obtaining one of his victims from a CraigsList post of "free pet to good home", PETA thinks that means nobody should be allowed to post on CraigsList to give away a pet.

I think they just want those animals going into shelters instead, so PETA can "rescue" them with their puppy-killing deathmobiles instead of allowing people to actually own pets.

PETA vs CraigsList

Seriously - a terrorist organization going up against one of the most popular websites on the internets? Like there's any doubt who's going to win the argument...

And animal rights activists wonder why no one takes them seriously.

Court won't declare chimp a person

By WILLIAM J. KOLE, Associated Press Writer

VIENNA, Austria - He's now got a human name — Matthew Hiasl Pan — but he's having trouble getting his day in court. Animal rights activists campaigning to get Pan, a 26-year-old chimpanzee, legally declared a person vowed Thursday to take their challenge to Austria's Supreme Court after a lower court threw out their latest appeal.

A provincial judge in the city of Wiener Neustadt dismissed the case earlier this week, ruling that the Vienna-based Association Against Animal Factories had no legal standing to argue on the chimp's behalf.

The association, which worries the shelter caring for the chimp might close, has been pressing to get Pan declared a "person" so a guardian can be appointed to look out for his interests and provide him with a home.

Group president Martin Balluch insists that Pan is "a being with interests" and accuses the Austrian judicial system of monkeying around.

"It is astounding how all the courts try to evade the question of personhood of a chimp as much as they can," Balluch said.

A hearing date for the Supreme Court appeal was not immediately set.

The legal tussle began in February, when the animal shelter where Pan and another chimp, Rosi, have lived for 25 years filed for bankruptcy protection.

Activists want to ensure the apes don't wind up homeless if the shelter closes. Both were captured as babies in Sierra Leone in 1982 and smuggled in a crate to Austria for use in pharmaceutical experiments. Customs officers intercepted the shipment and turned the chimps over to the shelter.

Their upkeep costs about euro4,800 (US$6,800) a month. Donors have offered to help, but there's a catch: Under Austrian law, only a person can receive personal gifts.

Organizers could set up a foundation to collect cash for Pan, whose life expectancy in captivity is about 60 years. But they contend that only personhood will give him the basic rights he needs to ensure he isn't sold to someone outside Austria, where he's now protected by strict animal cruelty laws.

In April, a district court judge rejected a British woman's petition to be declared Pan's legal guardian. That court ruled that the chimp was neither mentally impaired nor in danger, the grounds required for an individual to be appointed a guardian.

In dismissing the Association Against Animal Factories' appeal this week, the provincial court said only a guardian could appeal. That doesn't apply in this case, the group contends, since Pan hasn't gained a guardian.

There is legal precedence in Austria for close friends to represent people who have no immediate family, "so he should be represented by his closest friends, as is the case," said Eberhart Theuer, the group's legal adviser.

"On these grounds we have appealed this decision to the Supreme Court in Vienna," he said.

Until this summer, the chimp was known simply as Hiasl. However, in the latest court documents, he was identified with a little more dignity — if not humanity — as Matthew Hiasl Pan, with the last name derived from "chimpanzee."

The Association Against Animal Factories points out that it's not trying to get Pan declared a human, but rather a person, which would give him some kind of legal status.

Otherwise, he is legally a thing. And with the genetic makeup of chimpanzees and humans so strikingly similar, it contends, that just can't be.

"The question is: Are chimps things without interests, or persons with interests?" Balluch said.

"A large section of the public does see chimps as beings with interests," he said. "We are looking forward to hear what the high court has to say on this fundamental question."

You can argue that he's a being with interests all that you want, but you cannot change the fact that HE. IS. A. CHIMP. CHIMPS ARE NOT HUMANS, and thus not people. THIS ISN'T EVEN AN ISSUE OF MORALS OR SEMANTICS. BIOLOGICALLY, HE IS A CLOSE RELATIVE OF HUMANS, BUT HE IS NOT A HUMAN BEING, and giving him a proper name doesn't make him one. HE IS A CHIMP. Although he's probably a lot smarter than that lot. Yes, he deserves to be treated well, but lobbying to have him considered legally a person? Dear god. P

My god, no wonder people think these groups are fucking looney.
