You know who were the biggest animal rights activists of the first half of the 20th century? Nazis. PETA is just being true to its ideological roots.

You can agree with no animal cruelty and be a veggie,, but PeTA pushes for BSL on Pit Bulls, a very misunderstood breed.

>>173051

And they don't want them to all roam free. They want to spay and neuter all pets out of existence. There is a huge difference.

I think they're more interested in preventing overpopulation.

>>173177

It's true they want to decrease thee over population. But they admit here:

http://www.peta.org/campaigns/ar-petaonpets.asp

that they are against pets:

"We at PETA very much love the animal companions who share our homes, but we believe that it would have been in the animals' best interests if the institution of "pet keeping"—i.e., breeding animals to be kept and regarded as "pets"—never existed."

From that same page:

"Contrary to myth, PETA does not want to confiscate animals who are well cared for and "set them free." What we want is for the population of dogs and cats to be reduced through spaying and neutering and for people to adopt animals (preferably two so that they can keep each other company when their human companions aren't home) from pounds or shelters—never from pet shops or breeders—thereby reducing suffering in the world."

OMG ARE YOU FUCKING DEAF? I said I know they want to decrease the population. THAT'S OBVIOUS.

They ALSO want to eliminate pets altogether.

See I think you know PETA is completely insane, animal rights on the same level as humans will not end well, and then I see things like this and I think to myself, perhaps we should just let animals roam the streets, only the intelligent (should) survive.

Uhm, your post doesn't really have anything to do with the one you're replying to.

Not wanting to take your pets and eliminating pets altogether are not mutually exclusive in the slightest. Peta could achieve the latter without the former. All they need is time. Stop new pet adoptions and let the ones out there die off. Think about it: if EVERYONE spays and neuters their pets like they want, then that means the end of domestic cats and dogs. Extinction.
Peta takes their ideas to a very fundamental extreme. However, they are also completely lacking in common sense, and largely lacking in reason. Domestication of animals is what has allowed human beings to survive. Domesticated animals provide us with labor, food, and companionship, and have done so for milennia. Perhaps in modern times it is possible (thanks to industry & it's pollution) for small numbers of people to live a 100% vegan diet. But those people are only able to do so by depending on the rest of humanity, most of which is doing the animal-eating for them.

A lot of it does depend on the extreme. It is, however, possible for one to minimize the consumption of animals while not having to rely much on others to "doing the animal-eating for them."

Regarding pets, do you plan to breed them? If not, then you should probably get them neutered/spayed. I think this is more of what PETA is going against, eliminating the roots of the surplus of unwanted pets, rather than eliminating them altogether.

I'm not really sure about other domestic animals, though. I'm not actually a PETA member, but I find a lot of the crap they get to be pretty stupid.

And of course, as with any (particularly large) group there are assholes who get the wrong idea, take it to the extreme, and make a lot of noise...

Spaying and neutering all pets to reduce animal suffering is a great idea. But it gives me an even greater idea: let's spay and neuter all humans to reduce human suffering! It's the final solution to everything!

If you have a pet, do me a favor. Find a stray, call Peta to come retrieve it. Leave your dog accessible to Peta as well. Notice the absence of your pet as well after Peta retrieves the stray. It's happened time after time.
And one has to point out the high mortality rate of animals taken by Peta to be 'adopted' out. Many shelters will not transfer their animals to Peta owned facilites as the animal has no chances of being adopted out and most likely will be killed a few moments after being sent to Peta facility.

pit bulls are not misunderstood. It's a breed known to be aggressive, and also bred to kill.
>> Anonymous
>>174141

This is a classic case of misunderstanding. Do you even know how a formal dogfight works? This is not two dogs thrown into a room and left until one kills the other.

Fighting dogs are bred to not back down from a fight. That is the key feature: not giving up. Fighting pit bulls aren't bred to be enormously strong or agressive. They are bred to never quit. The dog who wins a dogfight is the one who keeps at it until the other dog either submits or is too tired to continue fighting.


Furthermore, they are specifically bred NOT to be agressive towards humans. Nobody, even a dogfighter, wants dogs who are agressive towards their human handlers.

Perhaps they are, but that doesn't mean that their information is wrong. Research their CLAIMS not who the organization is. Information about Peta killing animals is hardly difficult to confirm from multiple indipendent sources.

Here's the counterpoint: There are certain dogs trained as guard dogs as well as fighting dogs.
The pit bull happens to be BOTH.

They are dogs, when not bred for fighting, are bred for the sole purpose of not befriending humans easily and be aggressive towards humans. Because that's what a guard dog is: it guards property against other humans.

Once set upon a human, the pit bull will not only be aggressive, it will also refuse to back off its kill, thanks to its fighter breeding.

Unlike say, a german shepherd which WILL back off upon the command, once a pit bull's set on a person, that person's good as dead. Doesn't matter how good an owner you've been to the dog. Doesn't matter how much you scream, tug at the chain, wail and carry on.

The majority of pit bull cases happen under the owner's supervision. And the owners are dragged through the mud, as people who stood there and didn't bat an eyelid as the pit bulls mauled another human being.

Do you honestly think they just stood there?

You're fucking stupid. If we're talking about APBTs then they were specifically bred to unconditionally love humans, and be dog-aggressive. The point of this is so they can fight but be safely handled by their handler while in the ring w/o getting all their limbs torn off (the handler).

Any pitt who is aggressive towards humans is clearly a severely under-socialized pitt.

Your counterpoint is simply wrong. I don't know what else to day.

Pit bulls and Staffordshires were not bred to be guard dogs. They were bred to be fighting dogs. And just like 174171 said, they were specifically bred NOT to be agressive towards humans, so that humans could handle them in a dogfight without being hurt.

Of course, that doesn't stop irresponsible owners from raising unsocialized pit bulls, or using them as guard dogs. But, the breed was not created for guard use at all. In fact, the pit bull is ill-suited as a guard dog--you said yourself that a proper guard dog such as a German Sheperd will back off on command. That is what a properly bred guard dog is supposed to do.

my aunt has a full pitbull.

aside from trying to assert dominance over my grandma's labrador, she's the sweetest dog ever.
although she's built like a fucking tank. Pitbulls have nothing but solid muscle, and when she smothers you, she's pretty damn heavy.
case in point, not all pitbulls are bad. it depends on how they're raised and at what age.

First of all, I would like to say fuck you all. Now I want a fucking gyro and the closest place around here to get one is 45 minutes away and I'm at work. Fuck PETA for making that anon post pitas and then making me want a gyro and some awesome hummus from that Lebanese place. It's so fucking good, the hummus. I could eat a bowl of it with a spoon. It's gooey and hummus-y, but it has a subtle spicy hint that gives me a fucking boner when I put it in my mouth. Oh shit I want some so bad. The gyros are perfectly balanced between beef and lamb, and perfectly spiced, especially when I dip them in that fucking awesome hummus.

Seriously, fuck them and fuck you guys.
