Peta and "dangerous dogs"

Hey guys after a small discussion on TheEpicMealTime topic, I thought I'd bring it here so that one doesn't get clogged. I would just like to know what everyone thinks of Peta and also what are people's thoughts on "dangerous dogs"

I think there is no such thing as a dangerous dog, but rather dangerous owners.

I'd like to know what you all think.
Thanks guys.

(Also any other animal welfare/stories/questions can go here too)

I'm not really a huge fan of the RSPCA they throw their weight around. I read a story in a newspaper, and a woman had just moved into her house and a cat came into her garden, she phoned the RSPCA and they came and put the cat in the back of their car. 2 hours later they put the cat to sleep. The lady's next door neighbor came home and she was looking for her cat and couldn't find him, she went next door and asked her neighbor who told her the officer had taken the cat, when she rang and asked for him back, they gave her the cat in a bag. This woman had owned the cat for 19 years and the cat was microchipped and in good health. The officer said that he thought it was an old sick stray, and put it down.
Sorry for the long post...

i guess organization has there downfalls.

i watched an episode of penn & teller: bullshit about peta. it was really quite enlightening. i suggest it to anybody that supports peta.

they are just too radical. from the uproar about obama swatting a fly to throwing red paint on fur coat wearers. they are @#$%^ crazy.

I had a friend that lives near a laboratory that was burned to the ground by Peta activists.
The laboratory contained many animals who were being used to find a cure for Neuroblastoma, a very deadly form of children's cancer. While it sucks that they were using animals to test on, it also sucks that every year, so many children die a very painful death from this disease.
When the laboratory was burned, almost all of the animals were burned along with it. What did Peta do in response? They paid the man that was responsible $20,000.

I adore animals, I cherish their lives, but I also know that everything has a reason. I have rescued abused animals, I have helped shut down puppy mills, but I will never side with PETA, because it's an organization ran for profit fueled by a very hateful and destructive mindset.


As for "dangerous dogs", it's all a crock of crap. Chihuahua's have been proven to have more vicious tendencies than bully breeds. Pitbulls were used in fighting because of their loyalty and devotion. They fought because they are so devoted to pleasing their owners. However, before pitbulls were used in dogfighting, they were nicknamed the "nanny" dog because they are so gentle and loving towards children. There is not a pitbull out there that cannot be rehabilitated, and that's been proven over and over again.
This is a major delicate subject for me because I worked in a shelter where I watched at least 5 pitbulls get put to sleep a day. Why? Because apartment owners wouldn't allow people to own bully breeds. No matter how sweet and gentle the dog was, the families would have to bring their dogs into an overcrowded shelter hoping to find good homes for the dogs they loved, not knowing that bully breeds are given a 3 day time span to find a home. The destruction of these dogs is not the owner's fault, nor the shelter's fault, but the fault of those that have given the pitbull such a bad name. Those that have outright destroyed the name of such kind and wonderful animals by twisting facts about the animal. It makes me sick when I see an apartment complex list Chows and pitbulls as "Uninvited pets".

^^ Oh my Gawd!

From a person that has been inside shelters and worked alongside the ASPCA, I would like to recommend that people support smaller, non-profit companies, instead.
I would be more than happy to post up a whole list of small shelters and foster homes that are in dire need of the attention that the ASPCA gets. Sadly, the bigger the company, the less help is actually given, from what I've seen. Support local shelters as much as possible over ASPCA or related shelters. You will help many MANY more animals (as opposed to higher up bigwigs) in the long run.

Better yet, find some in your area and post them here. Go volunteer, it will change your life even if you're just shoveling crap out of kennels.

I sue to volunteer at my hometown's local shelter all the time. I agree with RJB, it really will change you.

Also, if you are looking for a pet, instead of going to a breeder, go to a shelter.

I live in an area where dogs are seen as status symbols and as pits are illegal here in Britain, Staffs (Staffordshire bull terriers) are their dog of choice, staffs are one of the most loving dogs and these thugs are starting to realize this. There are so many staffs in Britain that need a home, it's heart breaking.

I don't like dogs.

I have never liked PETA. They are criminals in my eyes who insight violence to get their point across then they are just hypocrites that end up killing animals. The part of your post that I highlighted red really pissed me off. I have said it a few time but my daughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when she was 2 months old. @#$%^ PETA. That's how I honestly feel. I know it can be seen as cruel to use animals to test on but it is for something that can save lives. I lived in the hospital with my daughter and I met so many beautiful children and sadly quite a few of them passed away. If anything these bastard PETA people are the cruel ones. They should go look into the eyes of a child with neuroblastoma when they are on the verge of death. It is heart wrenching. What if, just what if the scientists in the building were close to finding a cure for neuroblastoma(which is the most common cancer in children and babies)? Peta just threw it all up in smoke. Childhood cancer research not only benefits children and babies it can also benefit adults. Any advances they were making would have benefited the world. SMDH

I'm very sorry about your daughter. I agree and disagree with testing on animals. I think it is wrong to test for cosmetic reasons but medical testing is the best way today, I believe in the future we will have better ways, but we just don't have it now.

I hate PETA. They kill more animals than 99% of shelters. They make millions of dollars every year - which they COULD use to HELP animals by feeding them and finding them home - instead, they use it on their psychotic & extreme campaigns and, of course, Ingrid's paycheck. I swear, she is the devil. In my state (NC) PETA workers were found dumping the bodies of dead puppies. A vet who examined them said that they were perfectly healthy...

Wow, this thread has really opened my eyes. I was really turned off by PETA when I saw that Cooking Mama stint broadcasted on TV, but wow...

Uk newspaper on the dumping of dead bodies: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1540785/Peta-workers-dumped-80-dead-animals-in-skip.html

Here's one of the most informative sites out there for those that don't know about PETA past their shock ads:
http://www.petakillsanimals.com/

Notice in the little box to the right how many animals PETA has actually gotten homes for and how many have been killed. These numbers are not made up. They are from the actual records filed for tax purposes filled out by PETA, themselves.

This site also has a very informative link about HSUS (The Humane Society of the United States): http://activistcash.com/organization_overview.cfm/o/136-humane-society-of-the-united-states

I suggest everyone reads what these websites have to say, as I was shocked by some of the evidence that they provided.

PETA is now launching a porn site. I don't even have a witty comment about it, that's how much of a joke it is already in itself.

Wow. Just wow.

Not a big fan of them. I LOVE animals.. i love them sooo much I gave up their taste xDD but I feel theres something fishy with PETA. I read somewhere they kill lots of stray dogs every year and I dont think thats sth a real animal loving organisation would do on the first place when they could try and find a home or shelter for them. Like Gary Yourofsky , I also think they only focus on showin ppl naked and that aint gonna turn ppl into veganism and respect towards animals. I share their ideas but i dont understand their methods. Like someone said up there, support other pro animal organisations better (animal equality, animal liberation front, any shelter rly will appreciate ur help)... they might be smaller and not so well known but i bet theyll do way more with your money than PETA will.

It's official, the world is going to hell.

In all seriousness though. These people are sickening. Instead of helping animals they are spending their money on ways to shock. I know so many people who hate them, animal lovers like myself included. They are giving themselves a bad name and making X rated videos is just going to make them a laughing stock. They should spend the money on giving animals new homes and futures, rather than making pornos and accosting little kids outside of school. PETA should be shut down. The president is a nutcase and they give the people that want to help animals a bad name. The amount of times I've posted on Youtube only to have people tell me I'm a PETA nutjob.
