PETA sues over Calif. "Happy Cow" ads.

Post by SpacedTeddyBear »

Happy Cow

I know, PETA lawsuits are becoming more and more frivolous than ever. Come to think of it, when were they ever not frivolous? This is just as stupid as their petition to change the team name of the Green Bay Packers. Something to do with meat packaging me thinks.

Funny thing about PETA. They're like the Green Party: They sound pretty good at first, then you read more about them and find out about their less-public issues and agendas...

PETA are on the same level as a death cult these days: they value animals more than Man.

They don't even think people should have pets.

Just so you guys know, just about everyone I know here in California is laughing at PETA.

On a side note PETA acts like they care for the environement, but they really dont. They care about animals first. Eco-system second. They oppose removal of any invader species that are ruining things for local populations.

ie) Wild Pigs in State parks. I think they should allow hunting of the pigs, but the PETA people dont. In the meantime the pigs tear things up for the native species making it hard for them to survive.

PETA is and will remain a bunch of stupid idiots. If they dislike it your doing the right thing.

Isn't PETA the one's who are preventing California from building (can't remember what exactly) because some sort of endangered FLY supposedly lives there? A freakin FLY?
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

PETA were the ones who probably got Bigfoot on the endangered species list. (No joke! Google it, I'm pretty sure it'll come up.)

Those PETA people are pathetic. I find it hard to believe that they're still endorsed by hald the celeberties out there. I was thinking thier opposition to animal research, even when used to cure diseases, and donations to domestic terrorist groups such as ELF would turn them away.

Yes, it is false advertising when the talking cows say how happy they are. Of course people take the commercials seriously. The talking cows said so. :roll:

I loved the bit about Mr. Robbins, heir to part of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire, disavowing his father's business because of the "inhumane" dairy industry. I'd be interested to know whether he also disavowed his father's MONEY.

I try to eat as many animals as I can to make up for PETA and other vegetarian's non-animal consumption. Animals were made to be eaten. Except dogs. Dog eaters are sick.

PETA should simply be destroyed.

They can no longer be considered to be decent human beings.

Let them save the animals and experiment on them if they care about them so much more than people.

I would rather see them dead, as they are not human beings.

"I try to eat as many animals as I can to make up for PETA and other vegetarian's non-animal consumption. Animals were made to be eaten. Except dogs. Dog eaters are sick. "

I guess you have never been to Korea. It is part of the Korean culture, they litrally have dog farms. It totally changes your view of a dog when you are walking down the market place and you see dog legs being sold. (I believe it is called Ka-goe-gee, I could be wrong it has been awhile.)

Anyways PETA has some of the worst arguements ever, try asking them what would happen if we let loose every single animal in captivity. But in this case it was false advertisement. If somebody could sue Pepsi for saving up enough Pepsi points for a Harrier Jet, why can't PETA for the happy cows? But then again if they even find one cow in a green pasture being "happy" I guess there goes PETAs law suit. I just saw this coming from a mile away. Maybe we should start milking people :roll: ?

Should they be given such an illustrious name?

And this is about par with their whole deal.

Also Korean dog eating isn't quite our version of Cow eating(they actually have a different view...it's medicinal or some weird shit...seriously.)

Lock them in a large cage with a small and relatively weak animal which is quite angry and capable of easily killing humans. See if they defend themselves.
