[X] PETA's 7 Dirty Secrets

PETA's Dirty Secret
7 Things You Didn't Know About PETA

1) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group's overall goal as "total animal liberation." This means no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no wool, no leather, no hunting, no fishing, and no pets (not even seeing-eye dogs). PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals.

2) Despite its constant moralizing about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, PETA has killed over 14,400 dogs and cats at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2005, PETA put to death over 90 percent of the animals it collected from members of the public.

3) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified "domestic terrorist" group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) activist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing recommendation, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. And PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich told an animal rights convention in 2001 that "blowing stuff up and smashing windows" is "a great way to bring about animal liberation."

4) PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, often waiting outside their schools to intercept them as they walk to and from class-without notifying parents. One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells small children: "Your Mommy Kills Animals!" PETA brags that its messages reach over 2 million children every year, including thousands reached by e-mail without the permission of their parents. One PETA vice president told the Fox News Channel's audience: "Our campaigns are always geared towards children, and they always will be."

5) PETA has used a related organization, the PETA Foundation, to fund the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a deceptive animal rights group that promotes itself as an unbiased source of medical and nutritional information. PCRM's president also serves as president of the PETA Foundation.

6) PETA runs campaigns seemingly calculated to offend religious believers. One entire PETA website is devoted to the claim-despite ample evidence to the contrary-that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. PETA holds protests at houses of worship, even suing one church that tried to protect its members from Sunday-morning harassment. Its billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs "died for their sins." PETA insists, contrary to centuries of rabbinical teaching, that the Jewish ritual of kosher slaughter shouldn't be allowed. And its infamous "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign crassly compares the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide with farm animals.

7) PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, because they support animal-based research that might uncover cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has said that "even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it."

The Center For Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition supported by restaurants, food companies, and consumers, working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.

Make mine a double

You heard the bitch, time to infect every PETA dipshit with AIDS and watch them suffer. Too bad that they can't use a cure if we find one, let alone use the medications to help keep it in check that we have available now, since they might've been animal tested.

Not that I have anything against the bastards....:eatme: :cow: :eatme:

PETA's just a bunch of assholes anyway.........

PETA's just a bunch of assholes anyway.........

Correction: Hotdogs are a bunch of assholes. PETA is against stuff like that...

This article should be taken with a grain of salt because it is from the Center for Consumer Freedom. Really, any self-respecting journalist should find it fishy, no pun intended, that a group that is supposed to be for "consumer freedom" is not composed of consumers, but corporations. They are the ones who printed this article. I have seen a lot of (sometimes dangerous) misinformation from this front group and I like to take the time to expose them where I can.

I will give you: "7 Dirty Secrets You Didn't Know About CCF (the Center for
Consumer Freedom)"

1. The Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) was once called the "Guest
Choice Network" is a front for the restaurant, alcohol and tobacco
industries. CCF runs media campaigns that oppose the claims of
mainstream scientists, doctors, health advocates, environmentalists,
and left-leaning activists (i.e. PETA).

2. In a 1995 letter to Philip Morris, Rick Berman of Berman & Company
suggested Phillip Morris form a front group to have restaurant owners
appear to be fighting smoking restrictions on their own (when they weren't). Phillip
Morris took Berman up on it and established the Guest Choice Network
that later was renamed the Center for Consumer Freedom.

3. Berman & Company, a public affairs firm, represents not just the
tobacco industry, but also hotels, beer distributors, taverns, and
restaurant chains. But is not a consumer grassroots organization.

4. CCF has also attacked the Alliance of American Insurers, the
American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the American Medical
Association, the Arthritis Foundation, the Consumer Federation of
America, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the Harvard School of Public
Health, the Marin Institute for the Prevention of Alcohol and Other
Drug Problems, the National Association of High School Principals, the
National Safety Council, the National Transportation Safety Board, the
Office of Highway Safety for the state of Georgia, Ralph Nader's
group, Public Citizen, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), and the U.S. Department of Transportation.

5. On November 16, 2004, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in
Washington (CREW) filed a complaint to the Internal Revenue Service
claiming that CCF violated its tax exempt status. The claim said CCF
was involved in electioneering, did substantial payments to founder
Richard Berman, and to Berman's for-profit public affairs company,
Berman & Company. CREW stated that CCF was engaged no charitable
activities.

6. CCF launched a $600,000 ad campaign that ran in major newspapers
(the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and USA Today)
which called "obesity" a "hype" and stated, "Americans have been
force-fed a steady diet of obesity myths by the 'food police,' trial
lawyers, and even our own government."

7. Berman now is attacking claims about mercury levels in fish.
FishScam.com, AnimalScam, CSPIscam and ActivistCash, are all his sites
that attack and focus on left-leaning organizations, movements, and claims that don't mix will with Berman's clients.

Don't trust CCF. They are a front group pretending to be of consumers, for consumers, by consumers. It is just one big lie.

I have a hippy aunt and uncle and there son was trying to tell one of my kids about how horrible hamburgers were and that the meat came from over 100 different cows.

Nathaniel than proceeded to tell him how good the hamburgers were when i BBQ them. :icon_oyes:

Wow, I'm guessing this guy has never heard of the concept of media spin before? Believe it or not, PETA uses the exact same ruthless guerrilla tactics to get their views out, and will gladly take the cash out of your pocket.

And, what sounds more offensive to you: Being told that the rampant obesity in America is overly sensationalized hype, or that the Jews killed in the Holocaust are easily compared to nearly mindless cattle being led into the factory?

And, while I have your attention for a second, did you ever step back to see how many corporations put these types of spin into any direction they so please? Do you know how misinformed you probably are of most anything and everything in regards to your daily life? Who's to say that the groups that you believe gave you this information in full truth don't have an agenda of their own to sway you as such?

Answer me that, and you'll see why it's best to not trust anyone, and to remember that all gov't. and media lie, it's just the one fact that remains true.
