    These accusations don't even remotely pass the BS test. For the second time today.....


    USE SOME JUDGMENT, PEOPLE!

    I heard of this before.

    I like m & m's but have not had any for months.

    I'll try and not use any other of those products.

    oh sorry, i didnt realise animal testing didnt have a place on pet talk. + PETA arent insane as so many people seem to believe and i would like to ask that if you dont believe in what they are saying please do not post. even if it is fake, we all know animal testing like this actually does happen.
    i would appreciate that there are no more obselete posts, i am not attempting to flame anyone here, nor do i wish for it to be done to me, im merely trying to raise awareness of these horrors. if you think its BS, im not going to try and change your mind.

    thank you so much for the sig ellie! (whisk_luva)

    This is a public forum and everyone is allowed to voice their opinion. If you want one sided views, then you might not want to post too many things here.

    Snopes doesn't have anything on this so I don't know if it's valid or not. Those PETA people can be quite over the board sometimes. I agree with their cause but not their actions, a lot of the time.

    I can't seem to find any links to prove that it's true. Just accusations.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Peta lost all credibility to me when they targeted my daughter who was 12 at the time and showed her graphic pictures, luckily my daughter didn't look but her friend threw up.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I have been frosted!

    PeTA doesn't want any animals in human hands, including domestics. Domestics should go extinct and all others be free. That's their ultimate goal, that's their cause.

    HSUS is the same way they just wear a nicer suit(Image) for the public
    There is an enormous difference between animal “welfare” organizations, which work for the humane treatment of animals, and animal “rights” organizations, which aim to completely end the use and ownership of animals. The former have been around for centuries; the latter emerged in the 1980s, with the rise of the radical People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

    In 1980, HSUS officially began to change its focus from animal welfare to animal rights. After a vote was taken at the group’s San Francisco national conference, it was formally resolved that HSUS would “pursue on all fronts … the clear articulation and establishment of the rights of all animals … within the full range of American life and culture.”

    The group completed its animal-rights transformation during the 1990s, changing its personnel in the process. HSUS assimilated dozens of staffers from PETA and other animal-rights groups, even employing John “J.P.” Goodwin, a former Animal Liberation Front member and spokesman with a lengthy arrest record and a history of promoting arson to accomplish animal liberation.

    My thoughts precisely. On the whole, I agree with what they campaign for, but not how they campaign. I think, though, that the reason they have become so volatile is because peaceful protest has not worked for the animal rights cause in the past - your average person just doesn't want to know. I don't see a problem with showing young people graphic images of abused animals, unless that particular person is proved mentally unstable or very easily upset. I do have a problem with something, though, that actually harms another person or creature, something which PETA sadly seem to do often.

    And I do agree with lizbud that it seems the cannons are out as soon as PETA is mentioned. -Pickle- is from the UK like me, and PETA don't bring quite so many of their more devious and dreadful plans across the pond, so over here they're seen as more moderate than extremists. I can understand why she would not instantly discredit them. And she is right - in some way or another this abuse does go on, all over the world, for medical or cosmetic purposes. At least this article raises some degree of awareness, albeit by more drastic and sour means.

    I read that the Taliban is made up of a great group of guys who treat women especially well. If you don't believe in what they are saying please do not post.

    Sound silly? Of course!

    Diluted paint....I mean that stuff doesn't even make sense. And you will notice it says "Mars is paying for..." not "Mars is doing"...because that makes it harder to prove/disprove.

    There are enough real horrors in this world to fuss about and try and right. To say boycott this company because others may be doing bad things is...well again...silly... Even you admit it might be fake.

    But boycott Snickers???? Over something that doesn't pass the taste test???

    Not going to happen....

    Posting something like this without proof is just irresponsible, thousands of people have jobs at mars, inc. Think about them this holiday season.
