PETA's Save the Whales campaign

All I know is that if a billboard has the ability to make you feel better or worse about yourself, you've got MUCH bigger issues on your plate than being overweight.0

Buddies of mine and I started our own PETA group - Peope Eating Tasty Animals. Responsible hunters getting together once a year. Only meat allowed are those hunted.
4th year now and growing. So popular that it is invitation only.
Cheers

Like it or not there is a food chain. Seals eat fish and whales eat seals.
Seals are wonderful creatures but should we keep the whales from eating them?
My dog of 16 years slept in my bed, and I still cry everytime I think of her.
But put her and you in a burning house, and I will save you before her.
Why? Because she is an animal. I love her but you have more value in my heart because you are human.
Now back to the bill board.....................I wonder where they got that before picture of me to post??
I thought that was me on the billboard not you:laugh: :laugh:
I am a vegetarian, for medical reasons not ethical. The rest of my family eat meat. I have 8 cats and 2 dogs. I love my animals. I love meat but it makes me sick, so I don't eat it. PETA are extremist and I pay little attention to what they say because of that reason. ASPCA showing those commercials with Sarah McGlauglin (sp) and her dog make me cry every time, THAT'S why I support them over PETA. I have compassion for them. PETA just scares me. Something about people screaming and yelling and being offensive doesn't do it for me. HMMM wonder why? Makes me think if they are trying so hard, maybe they themselves have something to hide.0 -

There are also many large animals that thrive on an all plant diet. We are not made to hunt for our food. We don't have fangs or huge claws or the ability to digest raw meat comfortably. We have adapted to survive on whatever is available during hard times. But now we are mass producing animals for consumption when there are fresh foods available. There is no need to produce animals purely for consumption so why should we? It's simply greed.0 -

It certainly doesn't. But if you are trying to turn my head yelling FAT *kitten* will work-but will it change my way of thinking??
Isn't the idea to help us understand and make better choices?
IDK....maybe I am missing something here.0 -

Thats where we differ.
Put my dogs and some random stranger in a burning building and its my critters who I'm getting out of there first, then I'll go back and check on the human who can be expected (more often than not) to take care of himself/herself.
As humans, it is our job to take care of these "lesser creatures". To look over them, protect them, be their shepherds.0 -
Funny - I thought it was me!!!:laugh:

Incisors are for tearing.

I am well equipped to eat meat.0 -

who needs tv when you've got threads like these? :laugh:
I love animals too... they're delicious! But seriously - I love my dog, even though I feed her kibble she does get to sleep at the foot of my bed. However, if her and my kids were in a burning house, I'd grab the kids first and hope for the best w/ my pup.... so I second (or third?) People First.
end of my completely irrelevant post. :happy:0 -
This thread makes me want to try whale meat.

Like I said. I am not arguing about what you eat..........I am discussing whether you will convince me to STOP eating it by posting a billboard calling me a whale because I eat meat.0 -

PETA is about getting the information out there in whatever fashion they deem appropriate. Feelings are of no concern to PETA - atleast not those of other humans.
Most PETA supporters are whackjobs who believe riding a horse is evil...0 -

And you will be using your opposable thumbs to hold the knife and fork you use to cut it up.

Here's my thought - if we all became vegetarians there would be a shortage on wheat or corn or something else.....just saying...we can all agree to disagree about the topic!0

The meaning behind the billboard is not "Hey! You eat meat! That totally makes you a fatty!"
its more "lose weight by going vegetarian", in a not so sugarcoated way.0 -

Not so much hun. Do some research there.0 -
I think the only ones who take it nicely are those who don't eat meat.0

Ok, then again I question why you and other vegetarians are on this or any weightloss site? Eating meat doesn't make you fat. Eating too much of any food and not exercising makes us fat.0 -

I agree. I was actually at my highest weight when I was a vegatarian (and for a while there vegan)0 -

Yes, the billboard is ridiculous. Its PETA, for crying outloud. They put naked women in body paint on the street... Its all for shock value. It gets them noticed
If they put a piglet with big round eyes on the billboard promoting vegetarianism, how many would notice?
My beef (pardon the pun) was with the first statement I quoted in my original reply0 -

Its not a myth. Plenty of people go vegetarian and lose weight. It all depends on what you're stuffing in your mouth. If you cut out meat, but replace it with a bag of potato chips a day, yeah, you're gonna gain weight.0 -

mmmmmmmmmmmm Adorable (teehee)0 -

Baby first, then puppy. Babies are less self sufficient than a puppy at pretty much any age. Human children are born the most defenseless of all creatures, more or less.
And if we're gonna play that game, I'll just take puppy and baby at the same time. I'm a strong girl
