Barry McCockinner Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 PETA stopped being a serious organization at some point in the 90's. I think they just capitalize on cheap publicity now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnold's Forehead Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 We should just start removing words that may be offensive from the dictionary all together so that they may never get used again.

bla bla bla Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Doubt they are actually upset. Bringing something like this up just generates a ton of free publicity for them. If it gets changed, great, if not then free marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL should play their game and say they're "raising awareness". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETA is an awful organization and as an entity kills more animals than almost any other entity in the world. They do not spend their money on actual, tangible help such as supporting shelters, fostering and finding homes for animals. The majority of their budget is to sustain their own organization and publicity stunts. They trot out that oh, so wonderful argument that bring publicity to the problem is more helpful than ya, know, actually helping. It's a publicity organization that throws parties and gives bored socialites something the pretend they care about. So anytime PETA says anything, remember they literally kill animals then go around telling other people that saying the word horsecollar promote animal cruelty. Last I checked, killing something is pretty cruel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hex Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Actually, I would argue that if you change the name to 'every time you commit this penalty we have to slaughter a horse' the number of horse collar penalties would go down a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broad froze, i looked around. All the other PETA ladies were standing still, not handing out any flyers, and all the nearby parents were looking at me and smiling.

If they actually cared about the animals, wouldnt they be lobbying the NFL to not use leather balls? Instead they picked something stupid to complain about, figuring if there is any change, they can chalk it up as a win. All they care about is attention and fundraising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with any change of any size, PETA faces an uphill battle in this initiative. I'm a big supporter of the good and ethical treatment of animals. I'm married to an ethical vegetarian, and I live a mostly vegetarian life myself. I give money to help animals. But PETA does not speak for me. As often happens with a core good and descent idea, some people take it to a ridiculous extreme, and hurt their cause more than help their cause. PETA is a prime example of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Claw Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I completely support the ethical treatment of animals and I give a lot of money to animal rights orgs and volunteer at shelters and farms. I wish PETA would just go back to their old ways of spray painting fur coats as people walk down the street wearing them. Stuff like this is just silly and doesn’t move the needle. They’ve sadly become a pretty crappy organization under the guise of a hugely important issue facing our society. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
