30 Days on FX

Next 30 Days (June 17 on FX) looks pretty cool:



My only gripe is that the "vegan animal rights" family he moves in with is like, super PETA. The woman WORKS for PETA.

I hope this doesn't make us look wimpy.

ALSO: Is PETA against pets? What if you rescue an animal from a kill shelter? Would they rather the animal die and be processed into pet food or what?

[matt_nothing]

PETA does take animals from kill (and no-kill) shelters and euthanize them. From my understanding, their philosophy is basically "better they die peacefully than run the risk of being adopted to an abusive family."

#1 reason PETA sucks, IMO

[tanukisuit]

That's totally ridiculous. What right do they have to do that?

[v3g4n]

Weird. I'd never heard of that.

There's a pretty good wikipedia write up.

#1 among so many...

does ANYONE like peta? (besides the people who work for them, i guess, and who knows who they are...)

[metonyms]

See also.

I thought it was an incident of some PETA people in a van killing like 10 of them and getting caught! Agh. This makes me hate PETA2 soo so much more.

I'm not sure how much I really buy that website, though. It's put out by the center for consumer freedom, which has strong ties to the animal slaughter industry.

[metonyms]

No kidding? I've seen it passed around pretty widely.

[la_jolie_vie]

Me too, and I'm not the biggest fan of peta, trust me... but I don't know if I can completely buy that they're as evil as that site makes them appear because of the CCF's interests.

[soiamme]

well, but they haven't made any of this up either. yes, their motives are more than questionable, but you can find these sources elsewhere (that's why I usually don't link to the website directly when I actually go into peta arguments...)

[matt_nothing]

exactly - from what I've heard CCF's *numbers* when referring to PETA killings are spot-on, as they got those numbers directly from PETA's own paperwork.

have you seen Your Mommy Kills Animals? the guy from CCF that they interview throughout the movie is SUCH A DOUCHE
