Why is being anti-PETA "unreasonable"?

When your organization's public tax records indicate they give money to convicted (and confessed, and caught on tape) fire bombers, I'd say speaking against them is pretty darn reasonable.

Even ignoring that. Even ignoring their "no kill shelters" that have 98 percent and higher kill rates.

It's just that Peta is nothing but a group of ineffectual attention whores that does more damage to the concept of treating animals ethically with it's actions.

I remember when I was in college, in 99 or so, there was a story of some Peta antics in Australia. It seems that a group of Peta activists had stormed an ambassadors residence. To protest against "the murder of termites." While the place was being fumigated. With no protective gear. A number of them were hospitalized.

Being anti-PETA may or may not be reasonable. Starting an anti-PETA movement on a gaming forum is completely unreasonable.

This simply isn't the place to discuss it.

What Des said.

There are so many places to discuss PETA; a gaming board, not really appropriate.

I see that point, but I find it curious that we have threads that also seem like they are in the wrong place. Most of them are not locked. (I'm not sure what Japanese babies have to do with "comic culture".) :P

Some topics might be fun to discuss with the gaming community that don't necessarily fit under any topic. These certainly include subjects that don't have anything to do with actual gaming or gaming culture. I understand where you're coming from, but they have to draw the line somewhere.

I guess I agree with all of you. lol
I think I just saw the words unreasonable and interpreted it the wrong way.

They also left it up for awhile. When things look like they're going to get a little bit too antagonistic, however, they do lock things up. Not sure how kindly they'll take to you posting this here, though. A lock is a lock after all.

Though who knows, we have Hammy back... they're letting a lot of things slide!

Yeah...I guess. I don't mean to be antagonistic. So...sorry devs!

Let's not be unreasonable and start an anti-Peta movement on these forums. Cows are not mascot material anyway.
I disagree with Avatea.

The South Park Cows also disagree.

Some people like cows a little too much.

And I'm sure PETA will rally against this too.


I've already forgotten about most of you

Which is, of course, one of the signs of the coming apocalypse. I think PETA's new slogan is, "We put the Hip in hypocrisy."
