Dear PETA,
It is with great interest I note that you continue to tap
dance on the grave of the widely respected animal and environmental conservationist
Steve Irwin and point out everything he did wrong so in this letter I am going
to be brutally honest and point out why I don’t respect People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals and why your behaviour on social media only serves to piss
off those you need to come on board and give you money.
Oh yeah, that’s right…money….the money people think is going
to go toward helping animals that need attention, love and care so I was very
surprised to find out when I looked it up that only 1% of the money you receive
is spent on actually acting on behalf of animals and working to save their lives.
The rest of the money appears to go on fundraisers and campaigns including a
boycotting a pet store that actively does more for animals than you do on a
smaller budget? How the hell does that work.
Just to let you know, I will be actively ensuring that there
are alternatives to you that use their money for actual animal care.
We also must confront that there’s the innocent healthy,
adoptable dogs and cats than you take to your “shelter” in Norfolk, Virginia to
kill and eventually dispose of the bodies in dumpsters or in the nearest
supermarket bin and hope to god that nobody sees you do it and don’t deny it
with your pap from your website, Nathan J Winograd, a man you guys tried to
sue, has all the gory evidence of PETA’s killing spree of new born kittens, puppies,
dogs and cats over the years, I sat there crying for those dogs and cats that
you murdered – is buying the chemicals to kill these perfectly healthy animals
apart of your budget? Why not spend some of that donor’s money on fostering
programs that allow dogs and cats to be cared for until a furever home can be
found for each dog and cat in PETA’s care rather than being put down 24 hours
after PETA receives them, okay?
But then again, why am I not surprised the kill rates are so
high when you believe no human should be allowed to have a pet/animal companion
and that you eventually want to ensure that dogs and cats are spayed/neutered
to the point where dogs and cats are a thing of the past. I want my children to
experience the love, joy and affection dogs and cats bring to people so I
really don’t understand why you want to take that away from me and future
generations.
Then there’s the issues with your rantings and ravings on
social media that actively talk down to your audience and I’m going beyond the
whole Steve Irwin grave tap dancing here, there’s the politically correct bullshit
like changing well known famous sayings that wouldn’t offend ANY animal to
demanding Australian rock band Hunters and Collectors change their name because
the name of a band that has been around since the early 80s is apparently
offensive to ducks, honestly it was probably at that point I should have
realized PETA had lost the plot. Also people lovingly refer to their animals as their pets not the rubbish you spouted on Twitter...yet again a waste of valuable time and money that could be spent finding homes for cats and kittens or stopping the Queensland Government's crocodile egg farming.
As for some of the nonsense on your website, a simple Google
search can debunk most of the stuff you claim eg: sheep shearing is cruel etc.
I mean please if you are going to write an article claiming something is wrong/cruel actually put facts not emotional touchy feely crap which ensures people are so
horrified they think they are helping these animals by giving you money but
they aren’t. Half the time I roll my eyes and call you Chicken Little
As for this whole vegan crusade you are on, you are not
going to convince people to go vegan with scaring people like you did on Australia
Day by roasting a fake dog in Sydney making children cry and revolting people who
may have supported you before. Nor are you going to convince people to go vegan
by making up bullshit like linking milk to autism or to white supremacy or
using a man in an adult diaper that just looks like you are ridiculing people
with incontinence issues. It’s laughable, you can’t force people to go with your
ideologies that need more research from reputable organisations especially
considering the alleged “vegan frappucinos” that Starbucks are going to be selling
have been found to not actually be vegan and that Starbucks has also been
caught out not doing enough to ensure the health and welfare of chickens.
If people want to go vegan, its up to them as individuals,
you can’t use shock tactics and publicity stunts to make people think going
vegan is a good idea.
I guess what I am saying is PETA needs to fundamentally
change, it needs to be a organisation that works for the welfare of the animals,
stop it with the shock tactics and the lame stunts that are borderline
embarrassing and use donors money to set up programs that do help animals.
Right now, when I look at organisations that call themselves
“animal lovers”, PETA will not get a cent from me, I know that out there are organisations like the RSPCA and Wildlife Warriors who ensure any money donated actually goes toward helping keep animals alive
and have a philosophy that isn’t extreme political correctness gone mad or robbing the future generations of having a dog or cat sleep in their lap.
Have a good day.
