NORFOLK, VA—In a new campaign featuring several graphic images of the animals falling from 30,000 feet in the sky, People For Ethical Treatment Of Animals released an ad Thursday that seemed to imply that throwing horses out of planes was a common practice. “How do you think he feels about your in-flight entertainment?” said the ad, which heavily suggested that the ritual of hurling horses from commercial airlines and watching them fall to the ground and die occurred fairly regularly, if not daily. “Hey, Chris Pratt, would you do this to your dog? What if Seabiscuit pushed you out of a plane? It’s not just humans who deserve parachutes. When it comes to throwing horses out of airplanes, just say ‘neigh.’” At press time, PETA released a follow-up ad implying that horses being thrown from planes was also making humans obese and impotent.
There’s no evidence one way or the other, so clearly the rational thing is to assume the worst about the organization
On an unrelated note, I’ve never seen you say you don’t hate gay people, so I’ll just start letting people know that [email protected] is a massive homophobe
As you’ve demonstrated, there being no evidence for the claim isn’t a good reason not to believe it!
You’re still mindlessly defending a horrible organization that has actually set animal rights back by being horrible.
For fuck’s sake, they Still claim that milk causes autism.
Ad hominin attacks won’t change the facts here.
As to their policy on pets, they’ve compared owning pets to owning slaves. Which leads to this shit.
Here are more accusations of them stealing pets and falsifying records, to go with the above link where they provably killed adoptable animals and falsified records.
I like how you linked to a news story about two people being charged, but not the news story about those charges being dropped. Dumping the bodies in the trash is awful. They should have put them in a freezer and had them buried when possible like most shelters do.
Again, I’ve worked at a no-kill shelter before. I’ve been forced to take care of cats that I WISH we had PETA around to put out of their misery. It does not bother me in the slightest that they euthanize animals.
I encourage you to read the following text from the second link you posted
Now, here’s an interesting page suggesting that maybe Troje isn’t being entirely honest, and is in fact being, at least in part, provably dishonest in her allegations. If she’s willing to lie about the scale of PETA’s spay/neuter operations, which she did, what else might she be lying about? This page contains the “Speaking Out About PETA” blog that that archived page references
I think it’s interesting that within two years, the events of the year 2000 managed to change so very much. It sounds a bit more like a disgruntled ex-employee than a whistleblower to me.
Please, find me a single dog that PETA has kidnapped and euthanized without permission, whose name was not Maya. Until you find one, stop spreading CCF propaganda.
Edit: also, what ad hominem? The homophobe thing was an attempt to show you that allegations without receipts shouldn’t necessarily be taken seriously. That’s not ad hominem, stupid. And neither was that.
