[Stay Frosty]

I support PETA. The People Eating Tasty Animals PETA……

 

[JackFlash]

PETAs missteps and faux pas greatly outnumber their wins, in the way that I don’t think they’ve ever actually won anything. Mascot and nickname changes are never going to happen...

 

[Cmarsh]

Bombers need to change their name. Can't have any suggestion that instruments of war are ok.

 

[windyhill]

PETA, **** off im busy.

 

[RUNVS]

I support the general idea of PETA but the actual organisation sucks and makes it harder to bring in laws to protect animals.

 

[Thrawn]

What branch of PETA? The US one is really bad.

Back in the day they infiltrated places that were breaking animal cruelty regs and as a result, made positive change.

They also campaign against inhumane animal traps, animals in circuses, declawing, factory farming, etc. Standard stuff that any animal rights org would chase anyway, but somewhere between their beginnings and the silly things we see now, they had a policy change. Probably too many extremists, not enough moderates.

 

[Toump Ass]

They're after clickbait and they got it.
A lot of people who care about animal welfare find PETA a bit of an embarrassment, myself included.
I think some of their campaigns are alright, this one is a bit of a wank.

 

[BobbyMorri]

I think this is their market strategy. Say something outrageous, and get clicks, which gets more donations and supporters.

I don't know how the last part works, but it must be somewhat successful as they keep trying to be in the news.

So, I do what I don't think they want. Don't give any notice of them

I saw something the other day about the council that controls East Fremantle's home ground - and in particular the ongoing redevelopment of same - demanding the club change its nickname from the Sharks, because it can be triggering for people who've been affected by shark attacks. I don't know if that proposal got up, or was just mooted by some radical weirdo councilor/ratepayer - there's some strange people down that way.

If I was them I would put a shark tank somewhere in the stadium. That you can see as you enter the place

Peta is all about headlines and nothing more. Also as they see pet ownership as slavery it's no wonder they euthanasia most of the animals in their shelter. Unlike other shelters that focus on rehoming animals and use euthanasia as a last resort.

They can put it in the attached skate park and the kids can do jumps over it.

Like Fonzie did

It is true that the various people responsible for bulldog breeding standards over the last 100 or so years have totally changed what was once a very athletic animal into somewhat of a disaster. When a large proportion of births require Caesarian, wrong reins have been pulled along the journey.

My "in-laws" would do beastily things to PETA. Particularly my mother in law.....

 

[WillHayward]

Honestly think the "mutts" is pretty awesome.

At the same time I thought the Aussie bulldog had bred deliberately to make a healthier breed than the British bulldog?

Do they know what the footys are made out of?
