It's not for the weak-hearted.

the fur industry is, to me, moral.

the only furs alloweed to be imported to the US are from animmals that can be used as food.

which means; rabbits are allowed, cats and dogs are not.

Foxes, coyotes, raccoons and chinchilla aren't used for food and fur coats are made out of them in the United States. Besides who are we to say which animals should be killed and which shouldn't be killed for fur? Fur clothing has no purpose but to make selfish people who don't care about anything look rich. The animals were killed for clothing, clothing that has alternatives. We aren't freaking cavemen here.

PETA (err... members of PETA) do bomb buildings. I'm not for that whole... passion-on-overdrive thing. I think it's insane. But to be fair, non-members of PETA bomb buildings too. We're human. Some of us are like that. What're you gonna do? Just because a few bad apples are in an organization doesn't mean the entire group stands for it.

True. The Peta website has a page about etiquitte when conducting a demonstration or protesting. They don't say anything about "bombing building" blah blah. The people who do those things are extremists and don't represent the company.

well, i could forgive the group when their members do the whole bombing thing; but not when they pass out graphic pamphlets to children.

like "your mommy kills animals" with graphic pictures of women killing animals.

yes; it happens in the world. but that's no reason to show 1st or 2nd graders that graphic material.

most thier campaigns are graphic and some are directed at kids. Most of them contain wrong facts.

as a result; i think that PETA is not a reliable source. I also believe that they should not be distributing that content to children.

locally, a PETA group convinced a 12 year old girl to demonstrate with them outside a KFC. Without her parent's permission. So the police showed up ( mainly becuase they were on public property) and stuff.

thier message is fundamentally based on a good idea- that humans and animals are equal and should be treated like such- but thier presentation is too militant- religous for me.

Peta pamphlets are nothing compared to the viloence on television kids watch these days. I admit some things are graphic, but they show the truth. The kids can decide what they want to do about it themselves.

i saw the pamphlet when it came out on the peta site, and i found it much more disturbing than anything on tv. the cover was a drawing of a bloody woman with a knive killing a rabbit, and inside there were actual pictures of animals being killed. i don't know what shows you watch, but i don't see anything that bad on tv.
