Genesis: 1:29

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Genesis 9:2
After the flood;

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, and upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hands they are delivered.

Genesis 9:3

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.`

You can look at it this way too:

"...to you it shall be for meat": it shall be fed to animals for our meat.

"And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth...into your hands they are delivered": Nothing enjoys being bit to pieces so of course they are scared, but after all they were delivered into our hands.

"Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things": Every moving thing is meat for us, just like we were given the herb, we were given all things.

PETA didnt get to mine.
He's bugging me to go scouting now, for the coming hunting season

I never did like PETA that much. We've been eating animals for years, why should we stop now. At least we don't eat them ALIVE!

My kids, at age 5, have heard of PETA. They know they are, for the most part, extremist whack jobs. If they said something crazy to my daughter, she would probably tell them why they were wrong.

We are huge animal lovers and believe strongly in humane and loving treatment of them.

Well, there's one good thing, atleast PETA has'nt taken the route E.L.F
(Earth Liberation Front) or A.L.F (Animal Liberation Front), of serial arsony and actually occasionally hurting people, and threatening them.


But I do have to concur, the PETA people, for the most part, are certifiable whack jobs.

Put 5 of them in a cage with a hungry lion, than see how much they love animals.

(I'm in jest of course, please never ever do that, it's illegal.)

They may not do that personally, yet they do support and fund these groups.

They certainly are. I've heard many times from my girlfriend (who, as many of you know, works for NIH/NIAID at their Bethesda, MD campus) about PETA protestors being arrested by Federal police, and trying to resist arrest - even when they're being arrested for trespassing on Federal property, NOT protesting. In addition to their sick plots to poison the minds of children, their extreme views (you know, PETA considers owning a pet to be animal abuse) and their grotesque displays and ad campaigns, this is just the icing on the cake.

I know you're only kidding, but honestly, it might not be a bad idea. I've often jested with others using a similar line of reasoning, and though I'd never do it, it would still be a very telling display of the true feelings of an average PETA activist.

My opinion about PETA is that I can find no other pastime than People Eating Tasty Animals. I'll take that steak now please.

Some of the tactics PETA uses are just so contrary to what they profess to believe. I have two friends who show dogs. Their dogs are treated better than many children.

They cannot leave their dogs in crates unattended, because of the REAL threat of PETA letting them loose. What happens when dogs get loose? Many times they are hit and killed by cars. How wonderfully loving of a gesture. Lets seriously hurt/kill these animals.

Dogs cannot be left unattended at the campers, if they can get into the campers, they will turn them loose from there(breaking and entering no less)

People who do animal rescue, rehab and rehome animals are true animal lovers. PETA is on a mission to convert people to their way of thinking. I know another PETA member personally and she wants to see the destruction of all domestic cattle(yes, she wants them dead and gone, how loving) because they destroy the natural grazing land for other animals. I can't reconcile how that thought process is at all ethical treatment of cattle.

Is it only ethical treatment of non domestic animals??

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.`

Yes the bible does say that and its great I love meat

But, it dosn't say we should torture animals like people do.
The chinese cover dogs in foil them blow torch them alive.
I don't want some reject saying "well its for food" to me.

And no, I aren't some enviromentalist and I don't work for "PETA".
I don't like PETA too! As llpoolej said PETA aren't true animal lovers.
People who rescue animals are!

Also

Schooling in total needs to be reformed.

They paid a man, Coronado, over 45,000 to firebomb places. Then paid his dad 25,000 to keep the son from mentioning them in court.

Ping. Bump.

And you're wrong. PETA does not pay people to firebomb buildings. The firebombers always turn out to be member of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) or Earth Liberation Front (ELF). Coronado was never paid by PETA to firebomb buildings. They paid his legal defense fees. Your rationale sounds like Consumerfreedom.com propaganda.

You have to realize the average PETA-head does not go around preaching the animal-rights version of jihad. As with every other "special interest" group, the top brass are always New World Order scum. PETA prez Ingrid Newkirk has actually stated that she wants her corpse to be barbecued and eaten when she dies. Only someone in the New World Order mindset would wish something like that.
