Donating to PETA? (ethical, rating, terrorism, abuse)

[=^..^=]

Before sending PETA another penny, you need to read this:

Douglas Anthony Cooper: How Many Pets Did PETA Kill in 2012?

Only local Rescues will get donations from me from now on.

I would never give a single cent to PETA. They're freaking nuts.

P.E.T.A. = People Eating Tasty Animals.

The only thing I ever intend to donate to PETA is a blanket made out of Squirrel hides.

I wonder if some predators among the animal kingdom have an organization called A.E.T.P. - Animals Eating Tasty People?

I am sure that they don't have one called Animals for the Ethical Treatment of People.

Every notice that PETA types are usually the same ones who insist that people are animals, yet they advocate that we should treat animals "ethically"?

In the interest of clarifying my statement above, I most certainly think that people should treat animals ethically, but my definition of "ethical" does not extend to being vegetarian.

I have no problem with those who choose to be vegetarian - I was a vegetarian once - back when I was young and influenced by the PETA types.

PETA has a history of extremism and domestic terrorism, which is why I don't support them.

They should advocate for vegetarianism and non-animal product testing without attacking capitalism, or denigrating those of us who enjoy a good hamburger or taco.

I believe there is a proper place in this world for all of God's creatures. It's usually in between the mashed potatoes and the vegetables, and sometimes under the gravy.

People are animals, have you never watched a chimp or a bonobo? And why in the world would understanding this be inconsistent with believing that animals should be treated ethically?

It is the religious point of view that says animals are here for our use, and have no "souls" and therefore can be killed or abused at will. Secular humanism, the view that behavior should ethical and moral even in the absence of belief in the supernatural, recognizes that animals should be treated humanely.

Frankly, I believe that my cat and dogs are far more important and worthy of life than many people in this world.
