PETA Fascists Begin Bullying Meat-eaters
It must have been inevitable for the PETA people to become Fascists
just like the MarxoFascists and EnviroFascists. We can expect more non-stop bullying until they get their way, like a bunch of cry- babies. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...rs-856591.html Animal rights group turns its fire on celebrity meat-eaters After helping to make fur coats taboo, campaigners at Peta are using hardline tactics on A-list carnivores By Rachel Shields Sunday, 29 June 2008 Animal rights protesters have launched a series of angry campaigns against A-list carnivores. They are shifting their focus from celebrities who wear fur to others who encourage the "exploitation" of animals by eating them. In its latest campaign, Peta – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which became infamous for dousing fur- wearers in red paint – has launched an attack on the singer Jessica Simpson. Ms Simpson was singled out for ridicule after she was spotted wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan "Real Girls Eat Meat", believed to be a light-hearted dig at her boyfriend Tony Romo's vegetarian ex- girlfriend, Carrie Underwood. Alistair Currie, a spokesman for Peta, said: "Jessica Simpson might have a right to wear what she wants, but she doesn't have a right to eat what she wants – eating meat is about suffering and death. Some people feel like they are standing up against a tide of political correctness when they make a statement like this – what she is really doing is standing up for the status quo." The animal rights group doctored a photo of Ms Simpson to read "Only Stupid Girls Eat Meat", and listed "five reasons only stupid girls eat meat". In May the group condemned the British actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers for admitting that he had tried dog meat while in China. The Peta attacks are seen as a sign of the radicalisation of some vegetarian groups. They claim eating meat causes environmental destruction, damages human health and contributes to global hunger, as well as inflicting suffering on billions of animals. Vegetarians International Voice for Animals (Viva!) claims that there are currently between five and six million vegetarians in the UK but estimates that as many as a third of population have significantly reduced their meat intake. "Vegetarians are still in a minority – most people eat meat. You're sticking your neck out as a vegetarian, and so most are passionate about it," said Annette Pinner, the chief executive of the Vegetarian Society. A recent pronouncement from the head of the UN climate change agency that the best thing people can do to halt global warming is to turn vegetarian has taken the debate a step further. Paul McCartney, a veteran vegetarian campaigner, recently launched "Meat Free Mondays" to encourage meat-eaters to eat vegetarian food once a week, citing the UN's statement as a good reason to forgo meat. Yet there is evidence that the British public might be rebelling against pressure to cut their meat consumption. Despite the cost of meat hitting a 22-year high, British supermarkets actually report a rise in sales. Waitrose has recorded big year-on-year increases in the sale of most meats, while sales of Asda's "2p sausage" have gone up by 42 per cent. |

PETA Fascists Begin Bullying Meat-eaters
This is just a troll so it is stupid to bother replying to it, but
I'll just observe that the Centre for Consumer Freedom has a perfect right to do an advertising campaign pointing out that PETA has made a financial contribution to a group which is currently classified as a terrorist organisation in an effort to discredit the philosophical positions that the group takes, they have a perfect right to engage in pot-calling-the-kettle-black tactics claiming that the name of the organisation Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine is a misnomer, they are really a group pushing an animal rights agenda, when we all know perfectly well that the Centre for Consumer Freedom is a lobby group for the meat and tobacco industries, and PETA has a perfect right to do an ad campaign saying that it is stupid to eat meat for whatever reasons they can come up with to defend that contention, and none of this is bullying, it is just exercise of the right to free speech. If you want to explore the meaning of the word "bullying" then have a look at some footage of factory farms and slaughterhouses. |

PETA Fascists Begin Bullying Meat-eaters
I'll just explore the topic of bullying and the right to free speech a
bit further. A good friend of mine, about my age, just finishing off an accounting degree and with a fairly small salary working for Animal Liberation NSW, was recently in court facing a seven-figure lawsuit because she went to Pitt Street Mall a couple of times and handed out a few leaflets discussing a practice that quite a lot of Australian sheep farmers do known as "mulesing". With this procedure a large chunk of flesh is removed from a sheep's backside with a pair of gardening shears, for the purpose of preventing blowfly strike. At the time of the protests my friend was doing it was usual to do this procedure without any anaesthetic. There is now a legal requirement to use anaesthetic and the wool industry has made a commitment to phase out the practice, I think our campaign can take some of the credit for that. We made the statement that mulesing is cruel, there was some discussion of that in court, apparently they found the statement in some way objectionable. Anyway, Australian Wool Innovation claimed that we had violated the Trade Practices Act by calling for a boycott of Australian wool (which we hadn't, although PETA had done that, but they had to bring us into court along with PETA because it's an Australian law and they had to get an Australian organisation involved). They sued two Animal Liberation NSW activists and claimed that they should be liable for $5 million to cover the costs of an advertising campaign that they had to do in response to our campaign. They kept Animal Liberation NSW tied up with the initial hearings for many months. This of course meant that we had to devote time and money into arguing our case that the matter shouldn't go to court, thereby preventing us from functioning effectively as an organisation. I myself was involved in these protests and it is only a matter of good fortune that I did not have to go to court myself. As you can imagine, for individuals like myself or my friend the idea of potentially being liable for seven-figure amounts, even if the possibility is fairly remote, is fairly stressful. I think at the time we were handing out the leaflets we had this crazy idea that we lived in a liberal democracy and were allowed to publicly express our opinions about practices that concerned us. That may help to clarify the concept of "bullying" for you. The McLibel trial is another example, though that one backfired. Understand? That's what bullying is. A public expression of an opinion that it's immoral or in some other way undesirable to eat meat is an exercise of the right to free speech, phenomena like the above two examples are what you call bullying. |

It doesn't fit the people that you're describing. Fascism: 1. often Fascism a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. 2. Oppressive, dictatorial control |

PETA fits def #2 "Oppressive, dictatorial control", ie getting in people's face and bullying and intimidating people with "Meat Is Murder", "Meat is Cruelty", "Meat is Bad for the Environment" (though mankind has been eating meat for thousands of years, and those animals would be dead whether eaten or not). PETA also stopped a bug-eating contest for Halloween, while animals continue to eat bugs (animals eat meat too). So it's perfectly ok for a wolf or a hyena or a lion to kill an animal and eat it, but PETA needs to SCREAM about hunters "being cruel" and meat eaters "being cruel". It's time to start hunting the PETA members, and the stupid Environmentalists. They serve ZERO purpose. And since it's perfectly OK for you dopey left-wing loons to go around harassing people, then it's perfectly OK for the NRA to start harassing PETA and the EnviroNut-Jobs. Keep whining about the word "fascist" like its meaning hasn't changed. The words "faggot", "***", and "Democrat" had different meanings once upon a time, but all mean something new today. And you ought to know, since you liberals love to play word games, and take shit out of context, and claim things are out of context when they aren't. |

Words change meaning, and it's been 60 years. Mussolini was a left-winger, Fascism was of the left then, as it is now, but different with the bully Fascist protesters and oppressing bully No Drill-ocrat Marxists. Go outside and smoke a fag and pretend the EnviroFascists don't care what harm it does to the air. |

You do realise I cry myself to sleep every night about the fact that I'm not Jonathan Ball, don't you? |

If you can demonstrate some sort of correlation between animal rights views and other views that are generally regarded as "left wing", well, great, I'll try hard to stay awake and pretend I care. Alas, I cannot aspire to the level of sanity that the OP exhibits, it is just not the way I am wired up. I suppose there is nothing for it but to deny my right to free speech, for the sake of fighting fascism. |

You > fatuous ****. Can I just clarify one thing, Ball. You believe that if you evaluate an Internet activity as stupid you shouldn't engage in it. Well, sure, that sounds like a reasonable stance and Dutch has been advocating it recently. But you do realise what that says about you, don't you? You actually believe that this whole group isn't an idiotic waste of time? I show these conversations to my friend from work and he says "Why do you spend so much time here? It's just a bunch of people slagging each other off". You actually fail to understand that that is the view that any impartial observer would take of this group? I mean, in the build-up to my second psychotic episode in 2002 my father was saying "You know, Rupert, I don't think you should spend so much time on the internet, I don't think it's that important." So maybe it would be advisable to get my psychiatrist to critically evaluate my internet activity. You want to push that line? But of course in that case she will also be giving frank feedback about the mental states of the other participants... You think you're doing something sensible and worthwhile here, do you? Most interesting indeed. |

Ball, I sincerely thank you for all the times you have made me laugh out loud. If you are saying that the OP actually sincerely holds the opinions he expresses, well, that may very well be but it's taking a very unkind view of his intelligence, you really should be more charitable towards people. Certainly having serious discussion was not the motive. His motive was to stir up trouble just for the sake of it, regardless of whether he actually believes the ludicrous rubbish he talks. |

Yes, you are. People don't have the right to eat what they want. I don't have the right to kill you and eat you, that is not controversial. What people do and don't have the right to eat is a matter for reasonable disagreement and there should be free and open discussion of it in a free society. Expressing an opinion different to that of the mainstream is not a form of bullying. Dragging people into court for expressing their opinion and talking some rubbish about how they have violated the Trade Practices Act is. |

What of it? Neither PETA nor anyone here ever made the lunatic claim that it is currently illegal to eat meat. Someone did recently make the lunatic claim that it is time to start shooting animal rights activists. |

I think it is publicity stunt from peta and jessica who is a tax payer and commited no felonies, should be left alone |

If you weren't able to snip and alter the other person's post, you'd have absolutely nothing you could possibly say in response that wouldn't make you look stupid. Of course you look stupid snipping and altering posts but you apparently can't comprehend that. |

Forcing unpopular issues by gathering a group of retards is fascism. Basicly there's lobbying, which is civil and there's bullobbying, which is fascism. Thanks for being stupid. Hope your trailer park kicks that fly problem. |

I think PETArds will find a way to join the other whachos that are DICTATING NO OIL DRILLING, 20 YEARS TO FANCY ALT FUELS, NO QUESTIONS, NO MIDDLE EAST OIL. Then there's Republicans, who believe DRILL UNITED STATES OIL, BURN ENVIRONMENTALISTS (for fun or for fuel), GET OFF MIDDLE EAST OIL, ALTERNATIVE ADVANCEMENT is working in the private sector, but has many many years (5? 10? 20? Obama doesnt' know cuz he's phony) The people that are stupid are obvious, and will be looking for horses soon. |

I think it is publicity stunt from peta and > jessica who is a tax payer and commited no felonies, should be left > alone It is a publicity stunt from PETA, yes, that is just PETA being PETA and it's not necessarily the best strategy, it makes life a bit harder for the rest of the animal rights movement actually and we wouldn't mind if they tried a different approach to PR. Jessica is perhaps entitled to feel a bit got at but she lives in a liberal democracy where there is free and open discussion of ideas. No-one is harassing her or subjecting her to threats of physical violence when she buys meat at the supermarkets, when that happens she can call the police and she will then be able to legitimately complain that she is being "bullied" by animal rights activists. She could always try the approach of making a bit of a joke about it, make some film of her eating a steak and saying "Hey PETA, I love the taste of this freshly killed corpse." Or she could attempt to have a serious discussion about why she thinks it's morally acceptable to eat meat. Or she could say "**** off and mind your own business", most people would probably be behind her 100%, and that is probably the most likely outcome. I would hope that we could all agree that the decision to eat meat is something you should think seriously about, you should be aware of how it is produced and make a considered decision. Plant-based agriculture also harms animals, as people on alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian constantly point out, yes, that too is a consideration but on the other hand the production of meat requires higher levels of crop inputs per calorie, oh but the crops produced for farm animals are mostly unfit for human consumption and if you're not completely pure then you're a hypocrite, blah blah blah, and the debate goes on and on for years and years and frequently degenerates into childish ad hominem abuse. That's what happens on alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian, you can join in the fun if you like. There's really nothing wrong with trying to encourage people to have a bit of a think about the issue. Animals don't have a lot of fun in modern farms. There are perhaps more constructive approaches than PETA's. Jessica will get by and continue to enjoy her steak. People should support the right to free speech. It's not a form of bullying. |

What they try to avoid are products which provide life (and death) for farm animals, but even then they would have to avoid the following items containing animal by-products in order to be successful: Tires, Paper, Upholstery, Floor waxes, Glass, Water Filters, Rubber, Fertilizer, Antifreeze, Ceramics, Insecticides, Insulation, Linoleum, Plastic, Textiles, Blood factors, Collagen, Heparin, Insulin, Solvents, Biodegradable Detergents, Herbicides, Gelatin Capsules, Adhesive Tape, Laminated Wood Products, Plywood, Paneling, Wallpaper and Wallpaper Paste, Cellophane Wrap and Tape, Abrasives, Steel Ball Bearings The meat industry provides life for the animals that it slaughters, and the animals live and die as a result of it as animals do in other habitats. They also depend on it for their lives as animals do in other habitats. If people consume animal products from animals they think are raised in decent ways, they will be promoting life for more such animals in the future. People who want to contribute to decent lives for livestock with their lifestyle must do it by being conscientious consumers of animal products, because they can not do it by being vegan. From the life and death of a thousand pound grass raised steer and whatever he happens to kill during his life, people get over 500 pounds of human consumable meat...that's well over 500 servings of meat. From a grass raised dairy cow people get thousands of dairy servings. Due to the influence of farm machinery, and *icides, and in the case of rice the flooding and draining of fields, one serving of soy or rice based product is likely to involve more animal deaths than hundreds of servings derived from grass raised animals. Grass raised animal products contribute to fewer wildlife deaths, better wildlife habitat, and better lives for livestock than soy or rice products. · |

I've asked them if they thought it would be okay for humans to eat meat if we terrified the animals, chased them to exhaustion, then clamped vice like jaws to their throats to strangle them as we begin ripping them appart while they're still conscious as non- human predators do, often to baby animals. None of them have really responded to that yet. >It's time to start hunting the PETA >members, and the stupid Environmentalists.

And you >ought to know, since you liberals love to play word games, and take >shit out of context, and claim things are out of context when they >aren't. These people hide beneath the gross mi$nomer "animal rights", while they can't ever explain which rights for which animals. We know they don't mean rights for domestic animals, since the misnomer would mean the *elimination of* domestic animals, so it certainly wouldn't mean rights or anything at all for "them". How about wildlife? Since eliminationists contribute to the deaths of wildlife in most of the same ways that everyone else does, it seems that the misnomer probably wouldn't provide rights for any of them either. So far the "best" we can even consider that the misnomer might provide, would be more suffering for wildlife who would die of starvation, disease and non-human predation because human hunting and deliberate population management would become illegal. |
