PETA
I was once a very strong PETA supporter. PETA is the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I used to donate to them, go to fun-runs (we never actually ran, just walked for a bit and socialised) and even sponsor some of their animals. My ignorance for their darker deeds was complete bliss, however knowledge struck me with its burden. I happened upon a story about a dog-pound owner in Connecticut, New England. Recently, he had been getting a lot of flak from PETA because his pound was killing innocent animals. After further research into the matter, I found out that he was killing the rabid and the aggressive animals. While, I admit, I am not a zoologist I’m fairly certain that rabid and aggressive dogs are better off dead than they are alive and well. After coming to this miraculous epiphany, I understood that the paper that I was reading was a PETA leaning publication because they didn’t show their readers the facts ie: the fact that rabid and aggressive dogs need to be put down. The fact of the matter is that if the owner did not kill these animals they would have to release them. One furious worker was quoted to say “We are the repository of society ills. If we don’t kill these poor animals, what do we do? Let them out on the street and then they’ll bite everybody, and then we’ll get blamed again?”. The harassment includes daily aggressive protests as well as death threats to families. After a while these events started to intensify. Like a symphony, piano to fortissimo, the events increased in proximity. Alas, I’ve had enough. Now, I’d like to expose these tyrannous, malicious hacks for what they are.
Now, you maybe thinking the killing of animals, any animal is wrong. That’s not all they protest. Very few people haven’t heard of Pokemon, the beloved game and TV show. You may be thinking what that’s got to do with anything, well, PETA issued an OFFICIAL BOYCOTT against Pokemon. That’s right. PETA said and I quote “The difference between real life and this fictional world full of organized animal fighting is that Pokemon games paint rosy pictures of things that are actually horrible.” Firstly, Pokemon are not real. They are fictional beings, in a fictional world, with fictional characters in a fictional universe. Secondly, according to the game lore, most of the Pokemon are self-sustaining. The reason they live in those balls, when they are captured is because they are shrunk down and placed in an environment. Also, there are grass type Pokemon who are holophytic. Thirdly, why doesn’t protest against Call of Duty? In that game you snap German Shepherd necks and shoot chickens for no reason. Do you see the insanity? Do you see the horror?
Lastly, extremism. Extremism is PETA’s worst sin. Sending dangerous criminals who have thrown Molotov cocktails into research labs. People who have placed low-level incendiary devices outside scientists houses. People who would be cast as the scum if it wasn’t for one thing. They did these deeds for PETA Agenda. You know, total animal liberation. What’s worse is not the fact that they get sponsored by PETA but the fact that they go to universities around the world asking the youth to do the same. By using a mixture of emotional manipulation and horrific images to blur facts and promote their heinous agenda. They are the scum that infest the minds and hearts of naive, young men and women to think they are doing this for a just cause. When in fact they are nothing but an elaborate subterfuge. An infectious disease to numb the mind and boil the blood. Despite, the amount of hatred I’ve given them. They have one good thing, something that doesn’t redeem them but it sure makes me hate them less: they do try and promote morality in children about animals. That’s it.
Alas, this crazy jibber-jabber has finally come to a close. There are so many things in the world you can donate to: UNICEF, Red Cross, Medicines Sans Frontiers, National Geographic, WWF, Wikipedia for Christ’s sake. While animals are important and caring for our Earth is a responsibility that everyone has, there are people, REAL PEOPLE that need your help. From refugees, to old people in an empty home, there are people that need compassion and kindness. Give it to them, instead of giving it to an organization that promises to help when all it does is harm. Please avoid PETA, avoid them like the plague. Respect animals but eat them as well. You know, if you want to.
That’s it from me.
Happy Holidays from the Inquirer!
