Somebody should write 'PETA SUCKS!' in Vegan blood.

No offence to any Vegans.

Or just in the flesh of dead animals

those pictures are awful! That is like the extreme opposite side of PETA. Both extremes are not good.

I can't see how PETA likes animals when they want nothing to do with animals really. they just want to let them go. Even though pets help people with depression or something. But i do despise people that use there animals for profit and not as pets. Like the people that kill racing dogs when they turn 3 because they slow down to much.

But i feel like orca trainers like animals because why would they spend so much time with the orca if they didn't like them.

Also i was suspicious about them not wanting any more pets because they were like on there website "if you must own a pet then at least adopt it from a shelter". But i see what they mean, so many people are to stupid to own pets. THey treat them as something thats cute as a puppy/kitten but gets boring after a while so then they return them later when they are all grown up and when a lot more people would rather get puppies/kittens.
I volunteer at the humane society and they have SOOO many animal returns every day and it is sad and sometimes they have to put animals down because they are violent or they don't have enough space in the kennels.
The next dog i get i will adopt from a shelter.

I agree - those pictures are awful!

By doing that they're stooping to PETA's level.
Yes PETA is a bit over crazy, but doing that will just make matters worse for both sides.
I actually applaud vegatarianism, and wish i could be one, but i like meat to much.
It's a part of the human diet.
But also i look at it that nothing has to die for me to survive.

Its a touchy subject

I don't see anything wrong with hunting. All those guys were doing was taking the animals they harvested and decided to mock a fucked up group of people. It's not like they went out to kill animals JUST to take those pictures.

Hunting is the MOST humane and natural way of obtaining meat. The animals lived full lives in their natural environment until the moment they died, vs. animals cramped in factory farms from the moment they are born to the moment they are killed. At least with hunting the animal has every chance to protect itself or flee, just like with lions hunting on the African plains. Factory farms on the other hand, they are destined for death. YAY FOR HUNTING

I have no issues with people who are vegans or vegetarians, but what I don't get is why people applaud them or act like what they are doing is something amazing and almost divine.

Humans were designed to eat meat, at one point many many many years ago, we were made to eat RAW meat, just like animals, because at our very basic core, we are animals.

It happens all the time in nature, animals eat other animals, something dies so something else can survive, etc. There is nothing wrong with that. I understand the problem with the treatment of animals in factory farms or problems people have with the inhumane way some places slaughter their animals, but people shouldn't be feeling bad or guilty because they eat meat, its how you were made.

And as for health reasons for the vegan or vegetarian diet, I still debate it personally.

I eat meat. I like meat. Now, I don't eat loads and loads of red meat, but I do always have some kind of meat in my daily meals. I have quite a few friends who are vegan or vegetarian, and most of them agree I seem healthier than all of them. We all lead very active live styles, and exercise and work out, usually several of us together at the gym, we also go on wilderness treks together several times a year, which requires good physical fitness. Yet I am still stronger than all of them, have quicker reflexes, have a better memory than they do and have a better immunity system. I haven't had a cold or been sick in several years, yet this year, and I do not joke, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM had the flu, and two of them late got bronchitis. And out of them, several of them have to take daily vitamin supplements to make up for things that they are missing in their diet from the foods the refuse to eat.

I have no issues with the pictures either, because as Little-V said, they did not go out and do that just to spite peta, they are hunters gathering their food, and probably making use of the skins as well. One thing peta is trying to do is shut down hunting groups, close down hunting seasons, and take away hunters rights. I grew up poor in the country on a small farm. If we didn't hunt, we didn't eat, period. What animals we did hunt we used every last part of as well. We also respected our land and the animals we hunted, and never over did it, only took what we actually needed. There are a lot of poor families out there all across the country who survive the same way.

I agree hunting is better than factory farming, but i myself probably couldn't kill an animal :/
Which i guess is how factory farming works - we are basically getting other people to kill the animals FOR us.
I have no problem eating meat, I like it too, but to be honest, i wouldn't miss it that much if I didn't eat it. The only meat i eat is chicken and bacon and fish.

In some ways, i wish that everyone still had to hunt/make/grow all their own food still.

I definitely agree with you there. That is pretty much how I grew up, and it really teaches you to appreciate everything you've got so much more, not to mention teaching you responsibility and how to really care for yourself and be prepared. I think a lot of people spend most of their lives not respecting anything/anyone, caring for what they have or how they got it and the fact the someone else worked their butt off for it, and a lot of people will spend most of their lives always relying on others to do things for them, people are just not self sufficient these days at all.

I guess I'm just so ignorant that I never payed any attention to this, but I had NO clue about PETA. I always figured they were a kind of rash bunch, but some of the stuff they stand for is unbelievable. I'm sure whenever Sims 3 adds pets, People Eating Tasty Animals will get all in a stir, and renounce their award, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

Hard to believe that an ethical animal treatment movement would tell people to not have pets, or keep animals in captivity in any capacity. If you didn't have some animals in captivity, you'd have to hunt them to control population (and keep them from killing us all), anyway.

Bahah, those pictures. XD

i hate peta!!!!!
