I don't Support People who Support PETA

I never understood those people who dedicate themselves to the principles of the organization PETA. Normally I wouldn't judge things that I don't understand, but I understand enough to not like them or support anything that they stand for. However, I am ALL about protecting cute little puppies and kittens from the evils of the world. I have a dog myself, and I'm so sick of people asking me how I could have a dog and claim to love her if I don't support PETA. I get it ALL the time. PETA is an organization that flat-out discriminates. I just think it's so entertaining that these people spend their lives protecting the animals who would eat them up in 30 seconds if given a chance.

But first thing's first: I don't support anyone or anything that creates fragmentation of separation. I don't care what the color of your skin is, or what your sexuality is, so why should I support an organization that cares about what you wear? I LOVE fur. I think it's so beautiful, luxurious, and cozy. One day I will own something (or walk over something in my house on a daily basis) that has some sort of animal skin on it. I just don't care, and I'm so happy to be living in a country where I can say I don't care. But the sucky part is, PETA cares that I have that right and they're trying to take it away. They even go as far as assaulting people on the street who support people who wear fur. Fashion designers get torn apart if they use fur, and models and regular citizens randomly get red paint or flour thrown on them for wearing it.

Is that right? PETA is spending so much time trying to "educate" (and I use that term VERY loosely) people to do the right thing, but then the next minute they are contradicting what they stand for by violating a person's rights. You don't throw something on anyone or invade their personal space because of a choice they made; that's like throwing a stack of Bibles on a random gay person who is walking down the street, or throwing bags full of bagels on a Jewish person for being Jewish. Are we allowed to do those things if we wanted to? We probably could do them, and there are people who do (unfortunately), but more often than not, they would get in trouble. So then why doesn't PETA get in trouble for doing the same thing? Why are these laws only useful toward some and not others?

PETA is an organization that is trying to get Ben & Jerry's to use HUMAN MILK in their ice cream because they don't think it's fair for people to use cows for their milk. NEWS fucking FLASH people: cows supplying milk is NATURAL; it's a natural instinct for them, it's what their biologically born to do. There's a reason why dairy milk is A LOT healthier for humans than human milk, and there's a reason why they are below us on the chain. It's.just.common.sense.

It may not be a natural thing to be wearing the skin of the animal, and they can very well demonstrate their beliefs to the world on why they think it's wrong, etc., but you do NOT assault someone for not believing in something you don't. PETA doing things like that then makes it OK for people in the Middle-East to kill eachother over choice of religion, it makes it okay for hate-crimes to happen, etc. And why does it make it okay? Because it all comes down to the final reasoning of why it's happening: for not believing in or agreeing on the same thing.

I guess I'll risk having red paint thrown on me one day when I'm walking around Manhattan wearing something that was once worn by an animal (which, by the way, centuries ago was the norm because it helped people to stay warm).

So to anyone who supports PETA, I'd like to invite you all to my house for a nice, cozy roasted beef dinner with the dresscode being LEATHER ONLY.
