Tastes like black people
Smile even though its breaking
PETA is remarkably adept at drawing attention to animal treatment.
Black people weren't bred in farms for mass-slavery, so I fail to see the comparison to the animals I eat.
animals are tastey good. and being omnivores that's kinda what we do.
why does PETA still exist.
to offend enough people that eventually, after being disgusted by how stupid they are, some people will stop and think about how they treat animals just a little bit more than they did before.
Actually i read somewhere that black people back then WERE farm bred to be sold...its in a book somewhere not endorsed by PETA or anything. I forget it was like..2-3 years ago since i read that but it stood out to me.
In any case i hope that they uphold their cause, however in many ways...much more...logical?
PETA's cause, from what it seems, is the same as any other collectivist ideals: that humans, having the ability of reason, ideals, and concepts of times and whatnot, are "animals, too", and have to apologize for being rational human beings - by putting ourselves on the same level of cows, dogs, pigs, and goats. In name, they seem to support the ethical treatment of animals - and really, who is pro-inhumane treatment? However, in practice, they are for the destruction of freedom on the basis of the ridiculous practice of "animal rights". That implies that animals have inalienable rights that we cannot infringe, which include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The right to life - we should sooner starve than kill a cow. Liberty - we should let the animals roam the streets, to be at their mercy, rather than domesticate them or otherwise protect ourselves from them. The pursuit of happiness - becuase although animals are unable to experience complex emotions such as what real happiness is, we must respect their right to do so, much in the same way I have the right to breathe underwater - if I ever gain the capacity to do so - and must be treated as if I can.
Sorry if I sound dogmatic, but this is bordering ridiculous.
of course PETA has ridiculous stances, but that's the point. It's easy to ignore a well-reasoned argument, but it's not easy to ignore a loudly proclaimed and ridiculous hyperbole. PETA wants people to think about what it means to treat animals in various ways. They feel that people thinking about animal treatment in any way whatsoever will be good for animal rights, and when they do something or say something ridiculous, a lot of people start thinking. Of course they say they are ridiculously dogmatic, and I'm sure some people are, but it's a conscious affectation.
I am pretty much only in agreement with them that no life is any more or less significant than another including different species. But yeah i agree pretty much that they go well beyond what they were intended to(i think). Extremists of PETA or the other side is not that great. Extremists in every way is bad actually.
That's wrong. Thats the most racist and animal crueltyI've ever seen. And for the topic. Yes they do. Animals earn respect...

I'msorry but there are more animal protection laws thantheir are child protection laws and wtf.
"Do animals need to be treated as Blacks." Bah screw them ..This is how the world view us. We're blacks and we could be worse ...we can be africans. IF the person was black who wrote this. He or she needs to hang themselves now.
Bad analogy thus bad article.
I do not think its a bad analogy because people back at the time really did think that way. Course you are fine to disagree.
Anyone who thinks this article is racist has obviously not understood its purpose. I partly agree with the article, but I just don't care enough to act differently.
This reminds me of when a famous Finnish guy said "Stockholm is like a pile of crap. It doesn't get better just because it gets bigger." and everyone got really upset because he called our capital city "a pile of crap". People are generally too stupid to understand similes and even though they are a really efficient way of getting one's point across, they should often be avoided due to the general inability to understand them.
