PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is the largest animal rights organization in the world. As much as I love animals you would think I would be a proud member. Every encounter I have had with members of the organization has been negative.
I was in line waiting to go into a rodeo. I didn’t mind that they were there holding signs. I was not happy when they spit on us.
We were in line going to the circus with our very young grandchildren. Without our permission they put a sticker of a cute elephant on them that read “I helped kill an elephant”. I was less than impressed.
The final straw was when the semi that were carrying turkeys to harvest wrecked. The accident happened on a bad corner in a small canyon. There have been many wrecks there. You can’t see, it’s tight and it is dangerous. The day after the wreck there was PETA members trying to put up a big sign. We didn’t need one more distraction on that corner, so I called the police.
The organization as a whole may be great, they don’t have my support because their members are disrespectful.
I have even more negative feelings towards PETA now – how sad.
Everything about PETA smells of douchebaggerry. Three hundred hardworking immigrants, documented and legally working in the USA lost their jobs when PETA and its fanatics succeeded in ending horse racing in Massachusetts. These crazies even want to ban lobstering. I used to work on a lobster boat one summer back in my college days. The guy who owned the boat was a strong advocate for protecting the coastal marine environment against thermal pollution from the atomic power plant that was being built in Seabrook, New Hampshire, 14 nautical miles north of us. PETA would have put him and a lot of other fishermen out of work. They are extremists with no sense of the big picture. I love animals and happily support the ASPCA and Humane Society. PETA I can do without
This is certainly an interesting viewpoint. Thanks for sharing.
Every organization has good people who wants help and those who just want earn money on week.
Earn money for Peta – you lost me completely.
Sorry to hear that their members are disrespectful, Trenna
It is just fine. Helped me make up my mind about the organization.
Great Post Trenna Sue..!
Do you know what PETA is? Do you have anything similar where you live?
