I hate the PETA
To start off, I don’t hate animals, but I think we are better. No wait, correct that mistake, I know we are better. We are smarter than them and on top of the food chain. So, what does that give us the right to do? The least we can do is kill animals for food. But what does the PETA want us to do? Stop that, destroy all fast food restaurants, slaughter houses, farms, and become vegetarians!

As a dog breeder and trainer, I have learned to dislike PETA. Some of their stances are really over the top. However, I do believe that animals do have some rights; protection from cruelty, habitat preservation, etc..
I personally think he qualifies as a fundie for why he hates PETA. That whole "Top of the foodchain" thing just reeks of "Man has dominion over the Earth".

...on top of the food chain.
"The least we can do is kill animals for food. But what does the PETA want us to do? Stop that, destroy all fast food restaurants, slaughter houses, farms, and become vegetarians!"
Okay, PETA sucks, vegetarians suck, EmperorDragon sucks and, oh yeah, sean hannity sucks. And by the way, fast food burgers don't contain animal meat. It's mostly insect parts, styrofoam and motor oil.
Food chain. So, I guess people don't putrefy, nor do they perish from parasites, pathogens, or predation.
Oh, and for the record, I'm a member of PETA. People for the Eating of Tasty Animals.
Top of the food chain? I have neighbours who have DOGS that would show you otherwise, if the dogs weren't so lazy in this heat.
We're not at the top of the food chain, bub; it is a loop, and we just occupy one of the links in it.
I dislike PETA.
PETA has many of the right ideas but sadly, a lot of the wrong ways to go about them. I agree with them on many points, but there's much better ways they could help animals than tossing red paint on fur coats or trying to get the town of Fishkill, New York to change its name. These sorts of actions just make ALL animal rights activists look crazy. That and they start with battles they just can't win - why not compaign for more humane slaughter methods and free range livestock first? People are never going to stop eating meat, and the battles we can actually WIN, with luck, should come first. Sheesh. Some things PETA does may be crazy, but don't hold it against all people who advocate animal rights and welfare.
Other than the fact that the post was shittily written, I don't disagree in principle with anything this dude said. I have a few problems with "top of the food chain," but what I think he's going for is the idea that humans have evolved into omnivores.
I'm smarter than you. Ergo....?
I'm not a fan of PETA at all, but seriously...
"The least we can do is kill animals for food."
Did everybody miss that line or something? He makes it sound like we're doing animals a favor by killing them.
I can't say I support PETA, but by no means do I believe that man has more dominion over the earth than any other animal. We're just like the rest of them just with fancier tools and language. I however find the anti-pet stance of PETA to be rather appalling, animals bred to be pets wouldn't be able to survive in teh wild, it's simply not feasible. I do advocate a vegetarian lifestyle as a cheaper alternative to meat as it's much easier to maintain a garden than it is a livestock farm. But I don't buy into all the save the animals bullcrap, we're no better than them, but that doesn't mean that they're any better than us. I see them as equal but different, I will eat meat if I want to since that is how the species has evolved over the years, we are simply designed to have an omnivorous diet. I can't say I support fast food as I find that the globalization of it is appalling and the food is of lower quality than homemade or regular restaurant although as a rushed option it is sometimes necessary. I also find that the factory farming and slaughterhouses do go a bit too far, but once again, a necessary implement in order to feed the masses.
He's right that PETA is nuts, however I do believe that while we may raise animals for food, we have a moral responsibility to make their lives and deaths as comfortable and pleasant as possible, and the current system definitely doesn't do that.
Okay, while I think PETA is a bunch of wingnuts, please, go explain to that lion over there how high on the food chain you are.
I agree with him about PETA...they are obnoxious and I do like meat! However, animals still deserve respect. I believe that if you kill it, you (or your pet) should eat it. Fur shouldn't be used just to serve one's own vanity. We're food to other animals too...just like some others on here have said, equal but different.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
