Need Infomation on PETA

[merphie]

I am looking for some information on PETA. Doesn't anyone have anything juicy with sources?

Rats, I used to have a whole file of stuff on PETA, but it's on a machine on the other coast, if it even exists.

PETA consists of some very strange people, in my view, who could be considered species traitors. I suppose they get to be that, I think they're just nuts.

I realize, however, that wasn't what you were looking for. I'm sorry, but I really don't have the resources I'd collected any more. I'm sure you can find news articles via Google, why don't you try that? Look for things like +PETA +mink

Penn and Teller have a Bulls&*t episode about PETA. There is alot of information in that episode.

I know Penn & Teller have a n Episode on it. However they don't always give their sources.

I have been doing some searches trying to find some good information, but it is difficult as PETA seems to show up more in the results.

I just though that someone might have some more resources they could share.

You are more likely to find the 'juicy stuff' under ALF than PETA...here is a link pointing out how PETA 'disavows' violence, while applauding those who use it.

PETA's HQ is right here where I live, and they're always putting want ads in the paper. Seems to have a high turnover rate, possibly because they fire people who thoughtlessly suggest pepperoni pizza for lunch, or wear a leather belt.

You can, however, take your dog into work with you.

What kinda info are you looking for.

I like PETA. They are pretty harmless as far as extremists groups go. And their antics are far more entertaing than most.

Thanks. This will be a good addition to my collection. I forgot about the ALF connection.

In my mind they are harmful, in that by destroying their own credibility on a regular basis, they actually set back the cause of animal rights... you could suppose there are some animals being harmed right now because their supposed defenders are doing such a shoddy job that people immediately scoff at their name.

I am going to write a complaint letter to someone who contributes to them. I think the organization is extremely dangerous. They contribute to quackery and devalue humans.
