What are some pro animal websites besides PETA?

Question

i was a strong sopporter of peta and know im confused because ive heard a lot of bad about it.

Answer 1

PETA is a horrible organization I would never support them. The organization disgusts me.

They say they have the best interest of the animals in mind, but I don't believe it. Although I have no proof of it, I would suspect that many of their "under-cover videos" are even staged, which is sad.

PETA kills animals: http://www.petakillsanimals.com/

They also have the goal of making all domestic animals extinct. They don't want people to have pets. Or service dogs. Etc.

Some suggested reading about PETA:

I also could never NEVER support a group that intentionally inflicts psychological damage to children and tries to get to the parents by USING the children and attempting to make the children fearful of their own parents. They have handed out the following comics to children:

You Mommy Kills Animals - http://www.furisdead.com/feat-momfur.asp

Your Daddy Kills Animals - http://www.fishinghurts.com/feat-newcomi...

I don't have all the information handy, but at one point a year or so ago, I decided to read through the PETA site. What I found was a wealth of mis-information and information skewed to support their "cause".

Here's a video that shows their hypocrisies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9ijLulwU...

(Disclaimer: the guys narrating the video use some strong language, if that offends you, don't watch it.)

In short, they are a destructive group that go about things completely the wrong way. They "protest" by interfering with others in ways that should not be done.

* They disrupted VS fashion show a couple years ago: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/11/1...

* Although they have discontinued the practice, they used to attack people with spray-paint that were wearing fur coats. (Their website now says "if you have a fur coat, donate it to a homeless person.")

(There are numerous other examples, you can do a search on the internet and find them.)

I love animals. I love my pets. Which is why I believe in animal WELFARE, not animal rights.

Many people that think they believe in animal rights actually believe in animal welfare.

While they seem like the same thing on the surface, when you look at what both philosophies are about, there's a *huge* difference between the two.

Animal welfare: treat animals humanely.

Animal rights: extinction of domestic animals.

Animal welfare organizations are those like the ASPCA (http://www.aspca.org/ ) and your local animal shelters.  And they actually *do things* to help the animals. They get down and dirty out of the limelight; while PETA just has people strut around nearly-naked protesting in front of KFC for media attention.

Answer 2

People love to hate on PETA, and certainly PETA has said some things meant to make a stir.  But they are a very large and well organized group of animal rights activists.  I don't agree with everything they say, but their faults are exaggerated greatly.

Answer 3

PeTA kills more than 90% of the animals they "rescue", and want the end of pet ownership and even good zoos.
