I love Peta Adam and Eve were vegetarians

Interesting concept you bring up. The designed prefered perfect state for man was the no kill vegetarian model living in harmony with nature and God.

I love peta And the way they stand up for animals. They give KFC a hard time and free tortured animals.

I really like people like that. I guess I am a supporter.

Do you like PETA?



If anyone leaves a negative response I might donate some money for each one to help their cause.

This is their latest thing..

SeaWorld killer whales are slaves - PETA | News.com.au

I have disliked PETA from the first time I heard of people in fur coats being drenched in blood by protestors. I dislike Peta's emphasis in elevating animals to the status of human.

There are multiplied millions of people, created in the image of God, who are victims of everything imaginable abuse throughout the world. The list is long but to name a few: children and women as sex slaves, those in slave labor camp or under cruel taskmasters, captives and slaves in Islamic Africa, innocent people in prison, Christians and Jews abused in Islamic countries by Islamic law, political prisoners in Gulag-like prisons. This is much less than the tip of the ice berg.


Sorry but I am not a PETA fan or supporter.

I'm a pro life vegan, and while PETA is not my first choice of an organization to support, I don't get the PETA hate for a number of reasons. The first is an assumption that compassion is finite...e.g. if a person cares about how animals are treated or used then can't also care about how humans are treated. In fact, I would say compassion, like fitness, grows as it is exercised. A person who can watch with open eyes what goes on in a factory farm and not be moved may be more likely to be desensitized to the plight of their fellow humans as well, while someone who feels compassion for some living things may have an easier time extending it to other living things.

The second assumption is that animal issues and hunger in humans are unrelated. A diet based on meat is very unefficient in that it takes many times the calories you get from a piece of meat to feed the animal. So say you have enough corn to keep 80 people alive for another day. Do you feed the eight people, or feed one animal all the corn so that when the animal is slaughtered 10 people can eat for another day? We could feed more people if we stopped basing our diets around meat. Water use is also a concern and once again, raising meat is an inefficient use of water.

I used to think animals should get a collective vote, you know like with a preset preference that automatically goes to the politician first on the list, for whom it is then their responsibility to care for the animals, as a representative before Government. The idea being that the number of animals consistently represented, is actually important (not an afterthought).

You need to take it further than this, though, and I have no idea what the Lord would say (He didn't hurt any animals when He overthrew the moneychangers in the temple, did He?). God will tell me.

Proverbs 12:10 is a great verse. I will give that some thought.

Also, what about this, a fool considers animals beneath him, but a wise man knows the smallest heart is always useful

proverbs 12:10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals,
but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
That seriously means no more Mcfactory farm torture burgers or non free range meat for the righteous.


There you go signed sealed and delivered,no more cruelty to animals for us christians God says so!
Brilliant verse.


We should email it to PETA.

Better get to donating then...PETA carried a good cause too far...but that's what happens when liberalism gets involved.

I would rather support an organization that doesn't kill unless the animal is in intractable pain. Given PETA's 97 percent euthanization rate, I will go somewhere else. There are plenty of no-kill shelters to support.

I wonder why they do that? I didn't realize they did that until I started this thread.

I dont read anywhere in the bible where Jesus went about healing sick animals or feeding the 5 thousand cattle. He does make mention that God takes care of his creation and its animals. Now that also includes animals eating other tasty animals.

What he did was warn people about the coming sudden destruction of the world in fire.
Today the grass is green, and tomorrow it is thrown into the fire.
Besides that what did all the animals do to deserve Noah's flood, God could have just wiped out all the people, but he said the whole earth was corrupt in his sight.

How many of you know that when God killed the first born in Egypt, it also included the first born among the livestock cattle.?
And what about the millions of animals sacrificed on the alter to atone for sins of the people?

And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.

Sounds good, keep wrecking your world because of a bible verse... I am sure the athiests and other religions will love you for it.

I think that people who truly think PETA's cause to be a good one need to really pay close attention to PGP Protector's posts on the first page of the thread, and then re-evaluate their support of that group.

I'm anti-animal cruelty, but that doesn't translate into not eating meat for me. I eat very little meat and spend a considerable amount of my year eating vegetarian (even vegan- due to Orthodox fasting rules)- but some essential nutrients only come from animal products. I have no trouble with those who are full time vegan- but I can't get behind PETA's cause. Sorry.

That s cool each to their own with that.. Peta makes likeable ads though at times I must admit. they take a different direction with a cause. They do do funny things I must admit in their extremism.

I always thought that PETA stood for Psychiatric Evaluation: Totally Abnormal.
Since PETA supporters are nearly always liberals and liberals delight in the mass murder of unborn humans, no PETA supporter will ever get the moral high ground. Sorry. You show outrage at a man who steps on a spider but say nothing about a man who murders babies. How disgusting! Seriously!

I don't support cruelty to animals, but I do support humane growing and harvesting of animals which make no greater contribution to humanity than to be a source of good nutrition. KFC is an American buisiness that provides a quality food product while employing people of all races, religions and ethnic backgrounds. They should be supported for their contribution to their individual communities, not bashed by unbalanced liberals.

Eh, I can't be vegetarian because of health reasons but I wish I could. I don't like PETA attacking people who really actually CAN'T be vegetarian. I think they have good intentions but often go about things in the wrong way.

To KWCrazy: "KFC...provides a quality food contribution." No, they really don't. They don't even try to hide the fact that they inject their chickens with hormones to make them grow much faster than normal. Hormones are still present as you eat the chicken. I wouldn't call that "quality". Their animal abuse is also very well known. Many (most?) of their chickens are boiled alive.
I stopped eating KFC around 2008 and haven't eaten there since.

But it IS tasty,yet not as good as my wife's oven fried chicken,a non greasy alternative to deep fried.

I love animals- and totally oppose animal cruelty- but I absolutely do *not* support PETA.
They are very controversial- I don't think they are putting their money to good use, there have been many charges against them for killing animals, and many of their ads/tactics are very offensive.
