PETA

[Ghost Rider]

I dont support every thing PEDA does or says nor am i a member, but being board this morning, i reading another post and for the fun of it i jump on the PEDA site to check it out. I like to hunt and fish and eat them. They had some videos for cows being slautered. I know nothing about that kind of stuff or the way it is done. I did not want to post the link to the web page or the link to the video. So find it, watch it and post up. I did not make it through the whole video, i jump out and posted up on the subject to see what everyone eles thought about it.  Yes i like STEAK like every other man.

if you are going to eat it...hunt it. PETA are extremists. How do you think the human race got this far. If man didnt hunt in the beginning of time, we wouldnt be here.

Right  i do agree with you , did you see the video?

I didnt see that particular video but I've seen other PETA vids on youtube...they should focus more time on helping humans. I love animals, all kinds, and I think cruelty to animals is wrong, but those people are seriously crazy. I took my son to the circus a couple weeks ago and they were picketing and shouting " Your idiots!!! " to everyone going in to the circus. Thats not going to get across to anyone, imho.

i agree , i havent seen the video but knowing peta a group thatll do anything to get a point across it is impossible to know what kind of editing they could have done to make the proccess seem much more grusome than it really is

Thats just wrong in front of children...As a father i would be complelled to do some fighting due to the fact  i know their using some other words.

One of the biggest problems that the majority of modern day American suffers from is that they have become totally insulated form the reality of human existence. By that, I mean they have lost touch, as how to survive of the land be it how to grow your own food crops or raise animals as livestock. I'm 57 now and I grew up in the deep southern part of Arkansas where you learned from an early age what "life" and "survival" was all about. While one of my grand fathers, raised cattle in addition to his "oil patch" job the other farmed vegetables to feed family. Today people have lost touch with how hard that is. If you want to eat meat you kill animals and that is not as clean and sterile as we often would like to think of it. As a child, I had to help kill and butcher cattle as that was part of family life in order to later eat that steak, and we ground our own hamburger. Today the average American walks into an air-conditioned supermarket to pick out a bright wrapped package of meat without a thought of what it takes to get that package there. Once upon a time children grew up first helping remove stones out of a mule pulled plow like my grandfathers and later to use that same plow. The majority of Americans alive today forget that air-conditioning, dishwashers, and even indoor toilets were not common as recently as when my generation were children in many parts of this nation. Life like war is not always pretty or clean and there are those that choose alternatives. Animals should be treated as humanly as possible and those that do not do so should be prosecuted. However, as long as animals are used as food it will never be pretty. I chose to be a Vegan for several years (when I was younger) however that is a personal choice and one I believe no one has the right to try to force upon others as most of the animal rights groups do. From my first hand experience with such groups I have personally found they put more emphasis on their organizations, the idea of animals, animals and human life mostly in that order. Check and see how much money these groups actually put toward animal welfare especially wildlife as compared to the people these fanatics attack claiming they (hunters, fishermen, even ranchers) spend toward actual programs that physically benefit the animals and not videos and propaganda designed to elicit donations. Let PETA "PUT THEIR MONEY WHER THEIR MOUTH IS" if they can spare the time from slaughtering pets from Vets they told they would find homes for the pets only to kill the pets as soon as they got them to their vans.
