PETA, my favorite liberal hypocrites

Beyonce Knowles got slammed by the folks at PETA, the people for the ethical treatment of animals. You can read the article or I'll just tell you that she put some promotional "dinner with Beyonce" on e-bay. It doesn't say what she was promoting, but it gave fans a chance to bid on dinner with the booty-licious one. PETA placed the winning bid and used the dinner to harass Beyonce about her use of fur. She was unresponsive and eventually the PETA folks were escorted out. What a wasted opportunity.

Oh I want that chance. I'd buy a new fur hat for the occasion. Someone please sit me down with those loonies and let's have us a real discussion...and a big ol' steak. Afterwards if we haven't created one, we can spend the evening enjoying the circus, or road trip to Mexico and catch a bullfight. I want to know why it's so important to save all the cute and fuzzy bunnies of the world, and it's perfectly fine to slaughter the baby humans and they say nothing about it. Oh I know the answer. I just want to see if they can actually verbalize it. Killing the baby humans is yet another liberal cause. It's called "a woman's right to choose" (c'mon people, finish the sentence with me) to kill her baby.

We can rail against companies using animals to test their products and throw cow's blood on people wearing fur, but it's OK to kill your kid. When are we going to see the PETA folks throwing blood on an abortion doc entering a clinic? I mean, if you're going to get confrontational and in people's faces about animal abuse, let's be fair about it. When I see their concern for the baby humans, maybe I'll pay more attention to their concern for the baby seals, or the elephants at the circus. Maybe what we need is puppy, kitty and bunny mills, where we just keep 'em barefoot and pregnant, and just before the cute and fuzzy bunnies and kitties are about to be born, we yank 'em from their little bunny and kitty wombs and use the fetuses for product testing. Maybe that would be OK with the PETA folks. I hope you read that, got the visual and your stomach turned. I hope you called me disgusting. Go ahead, you won't be the first. (I'll think it'd be hilariously ironic if you call me "narrowminded" for suggesting PETA widen their scope to include all animals.) I hope you find the fetal bunny concept morally reprehensible, because it is, and I think the point is obvious. We apparently need to worry about the ethical treatment of all animals except the humans, because we've been excluded from the ethical treatment zone. I guess people aren't animals, much like lettuce has been removed from the veggie family.

ok, ok... i take issue w/ this post. i completely support PETA, have been an animal rights activist and understand the logic behind it. not that we don't support humans, but the thing about humans is that they are able to fend for themselves... don't ya agree?! animals... er, can not. there's a LOT more to this, but i thought i'd leave a quick post. i'm glad they did what they did... the next on the list is JLo!!

I absolutely don't agree. Since when has any human under the age of..oh....let's say for sake of argument..3, been able to fend for him or herself? Actually, I think the age is a whole lot higher, but let's use 3. There's no way. A mother leaves a newborn in a trash can to die and tell me how the little guy fends for himself? If a child is aborted, how can he or she fend for themselves? They can't. If they could, I'd have a whole lot less of an issue with abortion, because we wouldn't be killing babies. They'd be out there, livin' large and fending for themselves!

You're free to support 'em all you like, but they're still a pack of hypocrites.

john, i still disagree w/ ya. i think that ppl can have many passions including human rights and animal rights. some ppl take it too far - in both arenas - but ppl are passionate. just like ppl blowing up abortion clinics or killing the drs... i disagree w/ this... but i also disagree w/ the way PETA does some things. still tho, i'm all for animal rights.

I agree that PETA are total hypocrites. Mebbe not because of disregard for humans, but because they kill animals themselves.

Has anyone seen that episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit involing PETA. Pretty damning i thought.

Telling PETA to rally around anti-abortion is like telling anti-abortionists to support cruelty against animals. Every organization has a focus.

As for hipocrites, every organization has those too. Think about all the pro-life people who have killed for their cause.

There are crazy people out there. No organization can control who supports them.

Hey anonymous...when has PETA killed animals??

You're right saying there are crazies out there and no organizatiuon can control who supports them. I know of no Pro-Life organization that supports killing anyone, yet there are idiots out there who justify killing abortion doctors because they say they are saving babies.

The difference here though, is PETA organized and supported this act of stupidity, and supports and organizes many like it.

There's a difference between having crazies do things in the name of your cause that you can't control or condone, and having the crazies running the organization, controlling and condoning all of it.
