Is PETA truly "Ethical"?

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, has been described as "the most successful radical organization in history". The thing that always stuck out to me is that they consider themselves both "radical" and "ethical", and it has to be hard to be both.

PETA spokeswoman and founder, Ingrid Newkirk, says that the organization stands for the total and complete liberation of all animals. This means the obvious, as in: No eating meat, no dairy, no consuming animal byproducts at all. However, it also means no circuses, no zoos, no lab testing, and NO PETS. I wonder how many PETA donors are aware of that last one? They're even opposed to seeing eye dogs for the blind. Blind bastards, taking advantage of those sweet dogs!

On one hand, PETA says they want to live in a paradise with dancing puppies and kittens and ponies, and that sounds great, right? However, they attempt to accomplish this through harassment, bullying, threatening, and by funding animal rights terrorists.

Notice the donation to the Earth Liberation Front, a known eco-terrorist group, infamous for starting fires and blowing up buildings.

I remember watching an Episode of the Penn and Teller show "Bullshit!" in which they talk about PETA. They mention, while showing their tax filings for the year of 2002, that they bought a huge walk-in freezer for $9,000. They then speak to an expert on freezers of that nature, and he says that there are only two reasons they could need a freezer that big. One, to store meat, which they'd never do. And two, to store cadavers.

One thing about PETA is they tend to get angry over places like "the pound" who have to euthanize animals for whom they cannot find homes. But look at this graph.

In the end, I love animals. But we have to understand, they are not people.

Genesis 1:26- " And God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'"

That means man is above the animals, but that also means that we are to see that they are not abused and mistreated.
