To PETA...

Shut up

Seriously. It's bad enough you put to death 95 percent of animals in your care that could be adopted. You already made yourself a laughing-stock a long time ago before you tried to make kittens out of fish. You've disgusted us with the idea of human breast milk in ice cream. You're cult-like (Scientology specifically...) extremists who fund groups that bomb people. So, seriously... shut up.

Not to mention, their advertising constantly marginalizes/degrades women. And don't get me started on their racist stunts!

So yeah. Screw PETA.

So what, does that make cats cannibals, or something?

Stuff like this makes me wonder just what color the sky is where PETA came from.

The irony is that flies do have a central nervous system and are in fact animals (which I didn't realize until I looked it up). However, they are one of the most prolific organisms around (just the same as most insects) and are in no danger of being wiped out except by a concerted effort that would dwarf the one that wiped out smallpox. So I agree that it would be far better for PETA to focus on more significant issues than whether the President swats a fly or not (especially when it's intended solely as an attention-getting stunt).

How often does PETA do anything that's not an attention-getting stunt?

I dunno. They certainly don't get my attention very often.

Just goes to show how ridiculously fanciful PETA is. Flies are akin to cockroaches in the sense that we can never kill them all. And while they do have an ecological niche, it's not one that's going to be harmed by a few (or even a lot of) flies being swatted.

Besides, I bet their contraption doesn't even work right and takes about ten times as much effort (a conservative estimate) than just swatting a fly would.

Incidently, if meat is murder, so is salad! ^_^

PETA reminds me of a group I read about in a sci-fi series by David Weber. Basically, they were called the "Saints", and they were heavily focused on ecological and environmental issues. Sounds good, right? The only problem was what they did to accomplish their goals.

For example, they would set up work camps to help restore areas that had been damaged in some way, usually by human activities. However, because the workers also caused "ecological damage" by their mere presence (because we all know how much "damage" human excrement does), they were literally worked to death on a diet that was about half of what they needed to survive.

The people in areas they controlled lived in cities where the lights were shut off at a certain time every night to "save power". Where they literally lived on the edge of subsistence despite coming from a high-tech culture. Of course, their leaders did not share in this - they had wonderful "observation areas" in pristine wilderness, for purely ecological purposes of course. And they certainly didn't have any problems in partaking of the plenty that their citizens were denied.

So I don't trust organizations like PETA, which take legitimate issues to their logical extreme (and even beyond).

Sounds like that can't end well. ^^
