Me- 'It seems to me like you're against PETA for some reason.'

You- 'There is (are) many reasons to hate them'

.... Doesn't state one....

Lmao can't make this shit up, you're all the same xD

You've got the same narrative as every other anti-peta melon lol. That's whatever you've been fed over the years by the smear campaign, clearly sunk it's teeth in deep to you.

I was there once, lambasting peta and other things without knowing the truth. You say 'the difference is', what do you mean by this? The difference between me and you?

Obviously for me the difference is I've done my due diligence recognising my morality and impact of my life on the world.

This is called "growing up", check it out you might enjoy the philosophical dilemmas you can come up against.

It's clear you haven't got anything, you would have mentioned it.

If you took the time to read the info dump(doubt), what don't you agree with? But be careful you're not just an avid PETA hater because of what you've been told and are just angry your narrative is being challenged. (which is what I expect)

Forgive me for not giving you the respect you think you deserve, you're not smart enough to have a back and forth with. You seem like a bot programmed to astroturf about PETA. Go on bot, let's see an original thought, dare ya :)

Hope you realise one day why you're against PETA.

Edit: oh god, I've just read your comments. I'm really sorry, I didn't know you've just got absolutely no idea what's going on in the world.

Take it easy mate, I won't bother you again if it stresses you out, hope things get better for you.

Peace.

Am on a galaxy 21 U5g and was looking at my next phone being a zenfone.

Not a chance now.

It's basically the sugars. So like fruits and sweet veg can help, it's a marked difference that women have noticed and commented on.

It seems to me like you're against PETA for some reason.

So am I in ways, laid out in my info dump above. But, I GUESS it can be a long read for some people, and I wouldn't expect someone who doesn't explain why they don't like PETA to have the cognitive development to rationalise why. This might all very well be going totally over your head. But that's OK, others will read. :)

Hope you realise one day why you're against PETA.

Hey, just incase you missed my reply as the post was deleted..

This is why people hate PETA.

Yes, PETA does some crazy shit, but as with many things there are two sides to the story which is difficult to see when you get bombarded by anti-PETA stuff as is common on e.g. Reddit.

Anti-PETA efforts by the meat industry:

Sites like www.petakillsanimals.com are run by the Center for Organizational Research and Education, which is a lobbying platform for the fast food, meat, alcohol and tobacco industries. They also target the humane society, even John Oliver did a piece on them and their founder Richard Berman. That's just one outlet for their misinformation-campains, they are also cited in lots of blogs and "news articles" as well, so it's not always very obvious.

• nathan-winograd-in-perspective

• nathan-winograd-misinformation-machine

They are the driving power behind all the misinformation and PETA-hate that is spread around. PETA is actually doing a lot for animal rights, that's why they are such a big target for smear campaigns:

• [Their biggest victories] (https://www.peta.org/about-peta/milestones/)

• [All victories sorted by recent] (https://www.peta.org/about-peta/victories/) (several per week!)

• See also http://www.petakillsanimalsscam.com/

PETA and their kill-shelters:

PETA kills animals because unfortunately there are no better places for them. Blame the puppy mills and irresponsible short term owners that give up their pets a few days or weeks after getting them because they had no idea what they got themselves into. Those people create more pets than there are places for them, so instead of having them become strays and further add to the problem, PETA put down those they can't adopt out. Because PETA accepts all animals, even those that other shelters turn away in order to not sully their adoption numbers, PETA shelters end up with many more "hopeless" animals. See more here.

The case of the mistaken dog (and how PETA doesn't steal and murder pets):

A farmer asked PETA to euthanise a pack of stray dogs that were aggressive and violent towards the farmer's cows. Upon arrival, PETA found the pack of stray dogs, took them to the shelter and put them down, as a free service. Unfortunately it turned out, that one of the presumed stray dogs was a pet-chihuaha called Maya, that was not sitting on the porch, as often claimed, but running freely with the stray pack, without leash or collar or supervision. PETA fucked up, because they didn't wait the 5 day grace period to give the owners time to look for and collect their pet. That's why they had to pay a fine and apologized for it. http://www.whypetaeuthanizes.com/maya.html

The monkey selfie:

The monkey took the picture himself btw, the photographer just left the camera lying around. I am not saying the monkey should be copyright holder and it's an open-shut case, but it does raise the question about the photographer having ownership over something that was voluntarily and independently created by an animal. What if a painter would leave his brushes lying around and an animal would create a painting? The artist actually sees it the same way and settled for a compromise with PETA followed by a joint statement. This was a landmark case in copyright law.

PETA equating milk to racism:

White supremacists actually use milk to demonstrate their superiority over "inferior" (their words, obviously) lactose intolerant ethnicities. That's the reason behind their campaign on the issue.

Final thoughts (I promise):

PETA does a good job at raising issues and are one of the most successfull organisations to fight for animal rights. The granting of rights is the only real way to protect animals from unneccessary cruelty. Animal welfare will always be arbitrary, both in what species are worthy of protection, and the extent of protection they are worthy of. You cannot consider yourself an animal lover without recognizing the importance of that.

Sometimes PETA (intentionally?) overshoot, that happens when you try to move the border of current perceptions (i.e. animals are objects to be used for food, clothes, entertainment). I am not here to defend their tone or (lack of) tact, and there are a number of (sometimes downright stupid) PETA-campaigns I disagree with. I'm not trying to convice you to become their friend, but at least judge them for what they are doing, not for what they are said to do.

Most of the criticism of PETA you read on Reddit comes straight from the mouths of the Center for Organizational Research and Education (CORE), formerly known as the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF). It's basically a corporate propaganda organization with donors like Tyson Foods, Wendy's, and Coca-Cola. They also run campaigns claiming obesity isn't that major of a problem and that you can eat 10 times as much mercury from fish as experts recommend. The vast majority of the animals PETA euthanizes are suffering and are brought to PETA's shelter by their owners specifically to be put out of their misery, but the CCF distorts that into "PETA is stealing people's pets off the streets" and Reddit gobbles it up.

The media also knows that PETA is an easy target. Years ago I read an article in one of the British tabloids (the Sun or the Mirror) with a headline something like, "PETA blasts child's bunny wedding!" But if you actually read the article, what happened is a kid dressed up some bunnies in wedding outfits, the "journalist" reached out to PETA and asked them to comment, and PETA said something like, "we don't support dressing rabbits in costumes because it may be stressful for them." And that was the end of the story, but that wouldn't get clicks so they distorted the headline to make it sound like PETA was protesting or attacking the kid on their own accord.

For the record, I think there are perfectly legitimate criticisms of PETA, like the sexist imagery they use in some of their ad campaigns and their welfarist (as opposed to abolitionist) approach to advocacy. It just gets to me that so many redditors claim to be rational and free-thinking but then read literal corporate propaganda about PETA and swallow it whole without a second thought.

Again, I hope you find out why you don't like PETA (and can formulate some sort of coherent reason) other than the childish "because I don't like them" kind of circular reasoning.

I'm just saying your objection to them is textbook anti peta rhetoric, and indicates you've been fed what you're regurgitating.

Takes a while to read all the info I posted earlier, I don't blame you for not reading it.

It gets on your nerves because it addresses something you don't want to think about, I understand.

The smear campaign has reached you unknowingly, given away by your comment of "it just gets on my nerves". You seem to know little about what they do.

I dont see what you being vegetarian has anything to do with PETA, but OK.

Again, I hope you find out why you don't like PETA.

That's OK, it just means the smear campaign against them has you brainwashed. Check yourself, and I hope you find out what you don't like about them.
