Biden's breeder and PETA - Page 1

The Original Poster asked:
"Why doesn't PETA spend as much time trying to shut down the puppy mills & pet stores instead of worrying about decent breeders?"

Because PETA does not believe there is such a thing as a responsible breeder.  As far as PETA is concerned, there are no good breeders.  Here is what PETA has to say regarding responsible breeders:
http://www.peta.org/campaigns/ar-responsiblebreeders.asp"Producing more animals—either to make money or to obtain a certain "look" or characteristic—is also harmful to the animals who are produced by breeding. Dogs and cats don't care whether their physical appearance conforms to a judge's standards, yet they are the ones who suffer the consequences of humans' manipulation."

If you spend maybe 2 minutes perusing the PETA website,  you will discover PETA is actually 100% against ALL animals kept by man.  They see no difference between a cat or  dog rescued from a shelter and kept as a companion and a pig in a factory farm.  PETA feels both are examples of animal exploitation.  Of course PETA is a fucking slimeball hypocrite lowlife liar because they know damn well if they talk too much about their true goals, NOBODY will support them, so they lie and say they support those who adapt dogs and cats from shelters.

Here is PETA's stand on all "pets":
http://www.peta.org/campaigns/ar-petaonpets.asp "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. The international pastime of domesticating animals has created an overpopulation crisis; as a result, millions of unwanted animals are destroyed every year as "surplus." This selfish desire to possess animals and receive love from them causes immeasurable suffering, which results from manipulating their breeding, selling or giving them away casually, and depriving them of the opportunity to engage in their natural behavior. Their lives are restricted to human homes where they must obey commands and can only eat, drink, and even urinate when humans allow them to."

The celebrity idiots who jump on the PETA bandwagon and can't wait to be PETA spokespeople because they want to get a billboard don't bother to actually scratch the surface of the organization they champion.  I guess that wouldn't be glamours so they don't bother.  They sure do look like idiots petting their dogs and cats while at the same time talking about how they support PETA and all the good works it does.  Morons.

 

They are not ignorant masses - sorry.  They are more educated than most folks, and probably more educated than the average dog owner.  I have a Ph.D. and I once gave money to PETA.  They're like a lot of people -- sure of themselves, righteous about it, and while they begin somewhere very good they end up somewhere not so good.

I no longer give because I cannot get answers to questions I care about.  Their extremism is misguided and counterproductive -- and hurts individual animals they claim to care about.  But if you go onto a PETA forum you will see that it looks alot like our gsd forum.  Someone introduces a topic, a few people make decent clarifications, and soon everyone is singing the party song and wringing their hands.  It's just that it's a different song and different hands.

For the record, I think Biden and Obama should get to have whatever dog they want.
 

Nope, PETA is trendy, is supported by  celebrities and has some catchy ad campaigns.  Unfortunately too many people see any one of those reasons as  more than good enough and all the proof they need to jump up and also support PETA  because it makes them feel good.  This pretty much also explains why most everyone of those happy people are utterly shocked to find out  PETA believes owning  companion animals is akin to slavery.   Yep, ignorant pretty much sums up people who support an organization but don't bother to find out what exactly the organizations goals are and mission statement is. 

Obviously special interest forums are populated by like minded people.   As far as singing the party song and hand wringing, I don't see it, so I'll leave that to you.
