A perfectly good description of Peta and other groups.
I suppose it is possible to be a:
--barking moonbat conservative
--barking moonbat libertarian
--barking moonbat animal rightist
the possiblity are endless.

There's a reason I call such people Blissninny PseudoLiberals [BPL's].
Namely, LIBERAL is about FREEDOM.
Leftists are not liberals.

one of my friends was in a college class where some extremist vegans brought in a video showing the inhumane ways that cows were slaughtered. and then proceeded to hand out tofu to everyone. well, they were not happy and complained to the teacher. so the prof, being a person who likes to see conflict and wanted to see my friend get ganged up on while showing a rebuttal (the class was 90% vegetarians), allowed them to. so they showed how stupid it is to kill a living creature that has a mouth, eyes, tongue, stomach, and other "body" parts while you kill other creatures too. in fact, they first asked the question to the first presenters if "eating an organism that was once alive is wrong". they said yes. so he asked them what they ate. and they responded with fruits and veggies. "so you mean organisms that breathe, reproduce, help keep the co2 levels down, and provide shelter for some of the animal kingdom?" then they proceeded to show just what happens to veggies when you make a salad with great voice over commentary and handed out big macs to everybody. three girls puked in the class. the prof tried to have them expelled, but was forced to give them an a because the dean of the college said to grade it, you let them do it. tell that to peta. in fact, lets start petfav (people for the ethical treatment of fruits and veggies) and eat only meat. make peta real mad at that.
"That's one thing the leadership of PETA has in common with their precious salamanders: an inability to think."

PETA, Greenpeace, NOW, etc....they all exist for ONLY one purpose. To bring in buckets of money that keeps the organizers from having to actually work for a living. It is just another old fashioned scam folks. Some folks do it with militias, some with TV preaching, some with animal rights, some with .... well you get the picture.
PETA is run by people who make pretty darned nice livings off of the donations that are sent in. So that is why PETA is in existence. In fact the vvery last thing that PETA really want is for people to start treating animals the way they preach - because then they would have to find another source of income.
Why do people send in money to PETA and join the rallies and such? To paraphrase PT Barnum ..There's a PETA member born every minute..almost everyone who has enough income and spare time on their hands is looking for a cause to join. PETA is just one of many out there for the PT Barnum types.

I don't think Petaphiles have really reasoned what
achieving their goals would accomplish. All livestock would have to be humanely euthanized so as to spare them the horrors of serving mankind. I suppose the same would go for cats and dogs too. What would be left?
Perhaps the criminals, the mentally unfit, gays, Jews?
These people are seriously disturbed. The sad thing is they seem to be quite well organized and profitable. I don't think they will just go away. Good advice to find out what makes them tick.

It's pretty clear, though the logic of it is debatable. He's saying that the PETA folks would first eliminate the raising, killing, skinning and eating of cattle, cats, dogs, etc.
THEN they would (he says) have to support euthanizing all those animals (I don't see how we make that leap--why would PETA be in favor of that, exactly?)
THEN once they've accepted euthanizing all those animals (and because they think animals are on par with humans) they'll be fine with killing off undesirable humans--and in the past, that has meant criminals, the mentally ill, and Jews, among others. He's not equating Jews with anybody; he's citing Jews as an example of a group of "undesirables" who might get eliminated.
I don't get that, frankly. We practice humane euthanasia of pets now (and we kill cattle, like, a whole bunch) and that hasn't yet led to an acceptance of killing off undesirable humans yet.
But to accuse him of anti-semitism over it is looking pretty hard for offense.

I'm guessing he was trying to make some Nazi connection, which definitely fell through. Probably something along the lines, that if we start euthanizing all the unneeded animals, why not the people?
However, PETA's goal of eliminating the practice of animals raised for their meat, all hunting, etc, will backfire on them. Farmers aren't going to pay to keep the animals alive, they aren't going to make any money off them. They are going to kill them off, or let them loose. If they let them loose, the same thing is going to happen to them as the hunted animals. Uncontrolled, animals normally hunted, are going to overpopulate, and bring them selves to a much more horrible death. Starvation. That, and the number of car-animal collisions is going to go up. A lot of the time, the collision results in an injured animal, not a dead one. It will go off, and die from something like exposure, or starvation from its inability to get food or maintain its body heat. In short, the animals are going to start having much more horrible deaths, that the millisecond, or at most seconds of pain they are in when they are hit with that bullet.
I can agree with them that starvation is a natural death, and that a bullet isn't. However, I cannot follow their logic that somehow, a bullet is inhumane, and starvation is humane

To butcher
an old saying...
Personally, I had no problem when PETA tended to focus most of their energies on the pointless testing of cosmetics on animals, the confining of veal calves in crates and the like. Any more, they've gone Loony-Toons off the deep end.
I concur. Funny that, when I point this fact out out to the Granola-folks around Boulder, then get all mad and won't talk to me anymore.
we also have to look at what happened a few weeks ago. i will try to find it on the news to bring for you to see. two PETA workers were arrested for dumping the bodies of dead dogs in dumpsters. perhaps they do things to animals, then blame others to press their cause on us. if so, then we should hold them accountable, stop letting them get away with their scam, and protest the hell out of them at one of their rallies. and wait until they get violent and let the leo's handle that. wouldn't that be great. PETA idiots arrested, while gun carrying citizens excercising their contitutional rights don't get violent. what will the press have to say about that?
Mike Irwin already said it - I like my dog better than I do most people.
I've rarely met an obnoxious vegetarian. Most of the ones I do know don't get worked up about other people eating meat. For the ones who do get obnoxious I just tell them "Vegetables are not food. Vegetables are what food eats."
