Just because the offending chemical has been found in SOME chicken flesh does not mean it is found in ALL chicken flesh, too.

It's pathological, almost.

Roasted eagle might have a more favorable outcome.

if all the males are sporting little dicks. Those little swimmers are going to die out just trying to make the trip.

We tried to warn you, and now look.

too late now.

And most of them are quite obscene.

I mean, "sea kittens" instead of fish?

Comparing eating meat to the Holocaust?

And now this.

Anyone who belongs to PETA or supports them is being screwed over big time, or is simply stupid.

I am neither stupid nor screwed. The center for consumer freedom is working overtime to demonize an organization that works tirelessly to expose the well-concealed horrors of animal exploitation industries.

All they do is shock to gain attention. After awhile, the message "Look at me! I'm an attention whore!" gets old as it drowns out everything else.

If you want to be a vegetarian, be my guest. My son and his wife are vegan at home and vegetarian abroad, making it easy to have them over.

If you want to advocate for humane treatment of animals of every description, please have at it. The Humane Society and the ASPCA in the US need all the help they can get.

But PETA? Please.

I do not agree with Peta's pr philosophy that any pr is good pr. However, I do know that if it were not for the antics, they would receive no attention. I have been a member for a very long time and I keep up with all their work. PETA does most of its work behind the scenes. Ever hear of Santa Cruz biotechnology, its dozens of awa violations and the sudden disappearance of its entire (several thousand) animal inventory? No ? Why? Because no one covers it. PETA is working with universities to try to implement alternatives to the antibodies provided by Santa Cruz. It is also trying to make the usda do its administrative duties when it comes to holding this company accountable.

This is just one recent example; there are so many more. Please go to peta's website and read about its investigations. Once you do that I want you to get back to me and tell how or why I should not care. Thanks.

If you want to support animals donate to the Humane Society, or ASPCA.

PETA == People Eating Tasty Animals.

Fuck PETA!

How can I not be convinced? You have a dog in this fight, it seems. Hence the venom.

They have zero credibility.

Plus, they go on record for the end of animal pets.

And making ice cream from human milk! What's that called? Nipple Ripple?

And they have associated with groups like animal liberation front which was arrested by the FBI.

My dog (so to speak) in this fight is that I despise ideological groups who have no ethics and make shit up merely to serve that ideology.

Again. Fuck PETA!!

PETA == People Eating Tasty Animals.

Go to the investigation page of the PETA website. Then tell me which campaigns are not legitimate.
And you are outraged why? What industry do you represent?
PETA is not alf, by the way.

(Which means that it does not rise to the level of a karass -- check your copy of the Books of Bokonon.)

My best to you.

OMG, the sky really is falling!

the chicken lovers of the world

I'm assuming theirs is long enough that they can go F*%# themselves.

Well played, indeed.

That made mine go limp. Changed my life when I stopped eating soy.

So eat your chicken and mitigate.

I am almost ashamed to have typed that.

Otherwise hope this helps for the worried.

I dislike their attitude toward pets. Factory work can be good but mostly they tend to be over the top.

They are against breeding and pro spay/neuter. They are blamed for cleaning up the disposable pet mess people leave behind.

when they used to free animals from farm that were not bred to survive in the wild because death was better than slavery? there was lot of crazy in the 80's and 90's. I have not heard it changed. the attitude that pets were better off dead than in slavery used to get to me.

That was alf. And it it pure propaganda by the center for consumer freedom people, the Richard Berman group who is pushing that crap. It's a pr group made up of people who benefit from animal exploitation. Most of these posts have Berman written all over them. He's an anti animal, anti environmental, pro industry whore.

Most reasonable have made up their minds and the PR groups are simply preaching to the choir.

I used to be a member but I got tired of their stupid antics that had people talking about everything but the fucking issue they were trying to make them aware of.

I grew up eating meat, going to the zoo, dating hunters and using products without considering how they were produced. My sister brought a PETA magazine home from college and I educated myself. I learned that humane slaughter was a myth, that animals are beaten and tortured in their transition from sentient being to carbon monoxide laden slabs on styrofoam. I learned zoos bred animals for a constant supply of crowd-pleasing babies, then sold older, excess animals to horrible roadside zoos or canned hunts where they were nothing more than tame sitting ducks. I learned state game commissions purposely manipulated populations for a constant supply of prey, sometimes killing predators who dared compete with hunters. I learned cosmetics and household products companies tested products on animals for nothing more than liability defense and that animal tests didn't protect humans from anything. I learned male chicks from laying hens were shredded and male calves born to dairy cows stuffed in crates to suffer horribly for tender anemic white flesh.
I compare my animal rights epiphany to my political awakening. I received a history degree knowing very little about the horrors perpetrated by my own country. The Dulles brothers and Kissinger were discussed only in glowing terms. I could not depend on professors or media to expose the truth, I had to try to figure things out for myself.

I urge anyone who cares about animals to look at what PETA does behind the scenes. Go to its website and read about its investigations. Accomplishments are never discussed in mainstream media; only the absurdities are given attention ( I disagree with Peta's PR techniques). Recently, for instance, PETA stopped ridiculous nih funded experiments on baby monkeys where said monkeys were taken from their mothers and isolated to induce stress. This went on for 30 years. It was a boondoggle that finally ended last December.

Chimp research is ending, circuses are eliminating elephant acts, sea world is ending whale breeding....none of this would have been possible without the hard work of those who want to see animals live their lives with dignity.

I have said my piece. If you want Peta's involvement in any one campaign just go to the website.

I call organizations I dislike a cult too. As doing so requires zero thought, and leaves a frothy aftertaste as well. Win-win!

Heck, we doubtless will even attempt to rationalize our inaccurate labeling as being somehow clever, trendy and cutting-edge rather than accepting it as an illustration for an undisciplined or irrational mind.

This explains so much

It's the plastic, not the chicken.

What do PETA member eat to make them such big dicks?

Certainly reasonable arguments can be made for reducing or elimination our consumption of meat, but this is not one of them.

If there are phthalates in chicken flesh then it's likely that there are phthalates in other places, maybe even in fruits and vegetables, so the solution is to remove phthalates from our environment.

Interesting to see so many climate change deniers here though. "I luv chiken!! Eat it all the time!"

Or maybe not deniers, just don't care. But you'll see them in the threads about it. We all have some hypocrisy I guess, myself included.

about the welfare of chickens, and people who care about the size of their kid's dick. If you can't convince them one way, get them the other...

Are they still throwing out tons of dead cats behind their buildings?

There has to be a "chicken crossing the road" joke in here too but I'm too tired to work it out.

What bothered her was "... and don't take all night!"

What about the breast cancer and man-boobs? I thought phtalates are best known for hormone disruption above the belt..?

that effect. It's chicken get chrissakes.
