Title: Peta strikes again! Post by: Johncarllos on 18 January 2009, 23:45:35 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wants to ban fishing, and rename fish "Sea Kittens"
This must be some elaborate hoax. http://www.peta.org/sea_kittens/index.asp Hilarious. Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: Lunchebox on 18 January 2009, 23:49:03 I saw this.
I already considered eating some popcorn shrimp/sushi in front of a Peta office. Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: ASR on 18 January 2009, 23:54:50 PETA has done so many absurd things in the past and this is hardly the craziest.
Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: ChaosVortex on 19 January 2009, 00:04:15 Sea Kittens are delicious.
Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: ASR on 19 January 2009, 01:19:02 Everyone needs to read the storybook thing on that site.
But yeah, I'm trying to remember some of the other things PETA's done that made me laugh. I remember posting them here, so maybe one of you guys remember. Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 19 January 2009, 01:19:42 hey guis save teh sea kittens its bad to eat fish >:((((
Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: preventerWIND on 19 January 2009, 03:34:11 Fish are stinky and dumb. And delicious. They're not even going extinct, so what the hell?

Posted on: 19 January 2009, 04:07:16 I had the urge to do this: http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/sea_kittens1/step1 Live Up to Your Word to Destroy the Evil Sea Kitten Populace Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: Winged Warrior on 19 January 2009, 08:53:36 ...
As The Cobert Report said... ...I'm just one step closer to eating Land Fish. Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: Mikero on 19 January 2009, 19:03:47 So many good things to say about PETA, so many bad things to say about PETA.
Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: Winged Warrior on 19 January 2009, 23:47:17 Remember that old saying:
You give a man a sea kitten, you feed him for a day... You teach a man to sea kitten, you feed him for a lifetime! Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: ASR on 20 January 2009, 00:16:48 Save the sea kittens... Save the world.

Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: ChaosVortex on 20 January 2009, 03:46:36 My favorite Bible story is about Jonah and the big sea kitten.
Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: Winged Warrior on 20 January 2009, 04:08:33 We all know that's just a Sea kitten story...
Anyone up for a game of "Go Sea Kitten"? Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: ChaosVortex on 20 January 2009, 04:26:46 No way. It's in the bible, so it must be true.
He got coughed up like a hairball. Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: preventerWIND on 20 January 2009, 05:08:59 There's a sea kitten doll maker. I named mine #####! (pronounced Peh-niz) (also, tuna is the #####) Title: Re: Save the Sea Kittens! Post by: White Shadow on 20 January 2009, 08:37:52 The floaties look like bling-bling.

Title: Peta strikes again! Post by: Johncarllos on 27 March 2009, 15:56:21 Peta strikes again!
http://www.peta.org/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8713 HAHAHAHA. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: ASR on 27 March 2009, 16:00:47 : PETA Poster We've always had Disney banned in our house (for obvious reasons) Hahahahaha. What? Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: AlexThePenguin on 27 March 2009, 16:05:14 Haha, PETA.
Why the hell did that kid even have access to a big, cast iron pan? Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Majikn on 27 March 2009, 16:45:20 He's a troll! Read the second page.
This is actually making people mad. Wow. "Seriously though, I'm sorry I offered sympathy to that flats guy. I hope he rots in hell and a thousand hamsters drop a thousand cast iron skillets on him. What a d-bag." Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 March 2009, 16:47:35
Yeah, it's not so obvious. It needs explaining. My dad did something like that. He's a big time christian freak, and hates anything related to witchcraft. He didn't like me watching Mickey Mouse put on a wizard's cap and have the brooms clean for him. He also didn't like me watching Power Rangers or even the 3 Stooges. Really, it's unnecessary. EDIT: lol, wut? EDIT2: Haha. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Johncarllos on 27 March 2009, 18:27:34 The responses he got even though he's a troll though.
It's so ridiculous there that I want to believe every person is troll that trolls other trolls. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 27 March 2009, 20:13:11 The post that made me facepalm myself so hard that my hand flew off was the one where the guy suggested to keep calling him a murderer so that he learns his lesson.
I really want to believe that he's kidding or trolling, I really do. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Mikero on 28 March 2009, 01:01:12 I'm glad he was a troll or whatever (I don't care to keep reading) because my post was going to simply be;
"Excuse me, why was there a hamster on the kitchen floor in the first place?" Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: ChaosVortex on 28 March 2009, 04:13:07 Because we live in the crappiest generation of (spoiled) idiots.
Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: ASR on 28 March 2009, 04:22:09 I think this generation is fine, it's just... it's also NOT fine, you know? It goes both ways, very much.
Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Mikero on 28 March 2009, 04:32:08 There's a divide. Because a lot of this generation is doing big things globally and actually pretty altruistic stuff. A lot of them are really into fixing this world.
And then there's a lot who are all about money money money girls girls cash cash... let the champagne splash. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Edgecrusher on 29 March 2009, 16:30:29 Trying to do big, altruistic things globally. By and large we really don't know enough about the environment to really know WHAT is going on; like global warming.
Also, PETA are idiots. Just because someone chooses to anthropomorphize an animal does not make them morally superior. If I evolved to eat nothing but nuts and berries, my teeth would reflect that. Fortunately for me, I have lots of teeth designed specifically for tearing into flesh, so as far as I'm concerned my dietary choices are justified. If you chose not to eat meat or be a vegan or whatever floats your boat, that's fine. I don't judge people for choices like that. I DO judge people when they feel the need to ##### with MY meal though. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Chron on 29 March 2009, 18:46:31 Well said.
There are some who think that from a scientific standpoint, the only reason why humans are as intelligent (arguable, heh) as they are today is because they meat. Mostly fish, I think, but still. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Fatso on 29 March 2009, 19:27:09 If I remember correctly, part of their argument is that to obtain meat, you not only have to outsmart other animals out for meat, especially things which would just as soon eat YOU, but eventually you have to learn how to kill for yourself.
Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Chron on 29 March 2009, 19:41:05 The way I heard it is that the proteins also help support higher brain functions, or at least brain size.
It's probably a combination, but in either case I think fish sort of solve it since they not only require some deal of intelligence to catch, but they are also very good for brain development. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Edgecrusher on 29 March 2009, 19:45:40 I think they should go and try this argument in any country where they're happy to have ANY food.
If you're fortunate enough to be able to chose your meals, you should probably just shut the ##### up. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Mikero on 30 March 2009, 01:32:25 Trying to do big, altruistic things globally. Well if I meant trying I'd have said trying. I've seen a lot of footage and read a lot of stuff about some really great things actually ARE going down. Not so much in America but whatever. Well said. Well yeah, protein. Just like evolving to use tools led to using fire led to cooking meat led to evolving further. The way I heard it is that the proteins also help support higher brain functions, or at least brain size. Nevermind, you got it :P If I remember correctly, part of their argument is that to obtain meat, you not only have to outsmart other animals out for meat, especially things which would just as soon eat YOU, but eventually you have to learn how to kill for yourself. I don't know. That could very well be true but it also seems like more of a made up reason just so people stop asking. It can also go into a chicken or egg scenario (it's egg, by the way) in that you wouldn't have to outsmart prey until you started eating meat, so if you can only do that BECAUSE you eat meat then how did you start eating meat in the first place blah blah blah wraparound blah. Also you'd have to outsmart things that would eat you whether you ate meat or not so I don't see how that's part of it, it's not like carnivores don't eat onmi or herbivores. Title: Re: Peta strikes again! Post by: Chron on 30 March 2009, 01:39:06 Yeah.
Well... I'm not sure carnivores eat other carnivores regularly outside of the sea. I've never heard different; probably because hunters know how to dodge other hunters a little better rather than any taste preference, I guess. Now carrion eaters... yeah, anything and everything. |
