Dear Gmail, be more selective in accepting ads.
From the Gmail adbar:

PETA's Euthanasia Policy - PETA.org - Learn Why Euthanasia Is Sometimes The Most Humane Option For Animals.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH Fuck you, PETA.

UGH.

I know we're meant to be all tolerant of each other's beliefs and accept that not everyone agress with us on everything, and for the most part, I'm on board with that (some of my best friends are social conservatives!).

PETA is a collection of people doing bad things for bad reasons in the name of those who have no advocacy or agency of their own. People who are members/supporters of PETA are at best misguided and at worst evil, and the organisation itself is a blight on our society.

For them to attempt to justify what they do, and to compare it to what I do, to what shelters do, to what people who actually give a shit about animals do, is disgusting.

(Also, they lie. They lie a lot, about a lot of things, for bad reasons, and I have no tolerance for any of that.)

(Also also, they're fucking crazy misogynistic.)

(Seriously, fuck PETA.)

Preach it, sister.

You know what I wonder? How come PETA shitheads never throw paint on leather-clad bikers?

Hell, I'd pay cash money to see that shit go down.

I know I haven't told you this in a while, because I'm a shitty backup wife, but I love you unreasonably.

That is all.

You! I love you and your strange and shiny brain! Please to consider me a back-up to the back-up wife.

I've known they're the biggest jackasses for many years. Yet so many have fallen under their evil spell. Maybe people are unable to think for themselves anymore? Apparently.

Part of the problem is that they present themselves so sympathetically. "We just want people to be nice to animals!" Which, sure! We can get behind that! Who doesn't want people to be nice to animals? Who would say no when asked if they'd like animals to NOT suffer?

But this is not the reality of PETA, the reality is they are a bunch of extremist zealots whose means are even worse than their crapass ends.

Also they are doing it because they got busted driving round in vans, picking up stray/unwanted animals to "care for them" and then euthanising them IN THE VANS.

I decided on my "Seriously, fuck PETA" stance when I found out they were harassing KFC cashiers because KFC is cruel to chickens. I don't eat at KFC, because ugh, but seriously, dude, don't make life any harder for the single mother of two making minimum wage taking wing orders all day.

Like I said... they lie. This has been a hot topic of discussion, obvs, for several weeks on VIN and that's why I was so pissed when I saw the ad; I know what it's really about and it's just one more bullshit example of PETA's reality is not anybody else's reality.

As for the rest... I have a very firm policy about certain things, and it definitely applies here: Anybody who is working at KFC beyond the age of 18 has a shitty enough life, and I don't need to do anything to add to it. PETA, of course, are assholes, and do not care.

ETA: Okay so I must edit, because I want to be as truthful as possible about this--I don't know about euthanasia in the vans, although it honestly wouldn't surprise me I don't have info to back that up. What I do know is that PETA's "shelters" have exceedingly high euthanasia rates, and I also know that PETA believes it is morally wrong to keep animals as pets. Which a) if you put the two facts together brings you to an extremely unpleasant conclusion and b) followed to its logical conclusion means that PETA's ultimate goal is for cats and dogs (not to mention cows, sheep, and pigs) to cease to exist, since they are domestic animals vastly removed from their ancestors.

I was going to jump in with that until I say you'd done it for me. Imagine the fucked-uppedry in the sheep population alone without shearing and tail-docking!

AMEN. While I do believe that organizations on the radical left exist to put the rest of us (sane) people into context, PETA really REALLY should examine what it's trying to do and be more honest about it with their members.

Sometimes I wonder if the AVMA etc (AAEP is in the middle of these growing pains now, especially after Eight Belles and the polo ponies) shouldn't take a stranger stance on the sane side of animal advocacy in order to give people a less radical place to plant their beliefs, though. If that makes any sense.

Don't hold your breath; the AVMA can't even get its shit together on foie gras and veal, let alone tail docks and ear crops--their strongest stance on animal advocacy is apparently "Well, I wouldn't want to piss anybody off."

(For the record, I'd be okay if the AVMA supported tail docks and ear crops--I don't but if done appropriately, they're not the worst thing ever--but the waffling makes me crazy. And fucking veal? REALLY? You can't decide if keeping calves trapped in tiny crates, anemic and with constant diarrhea, for their entire lives is undue suffering?

Whatever.)

I don't know what Eight Belles is--have they figured out what happened to the polo ponies yet? I was reading just the earliest of early reports on VIN; how absolutely horrifying.
