PETA in generals, has had a positive effect in society

"I believe there is always a chance to learn a new profitable skill. " So for the rural society in China its better that they just ditch the job which has supported their families for years? Society is based around humans not animals and in Society shouldn't peoples livelihoods come before ethical treatment? "The source from the website that "backs up" their stats is the same source I gave. " Yes but the fact is what you were pointing to were animals given back to their owners not adoptable animals. "The numbers do not support that. " It was shown in my source the numbers do support that remember like I have said before its adoptable animals not the ones taken by their owners. Peta call their shelters 'true safe haven for lost, injured, abused, and unwanted animals ' surely there contempt for the animals lives they look after shows that they are hypocritical another reason why they are negative towards society. [1] "But it is impossible to tell what dogs were thrown on to the street and what dogs ran away. " Name tags, Microchips and owners coming to claim their dogs. There is a holding period which Shelters have such as 6 days in California [2]. When talking about adoptable animals it is meant after the animals that have name tags,microchips and gone through a holding period. "Since when was it PETA's fault that people aren't adopting animals from them. Many people go to local shelters before going to PETA." There are many no-kill shelters who are smaller and well less known that PETA most people will not of heard about for example Seal Beach Animal Care Center [3] or project purr![4] Yet they don't put any animals down and still manage to find homes even while being less well know than PETA! "Again, the data simply doesn't support this. " The data does support this and I'll give you several links showing that PETA kills at least 97% of adoptable animals [5][6][7][8]. Even if this is not true they surely kill animals while the no-kill shelters kill none and instead provide a good Shelter for animals. Which one is more ethical giving shelter to an animal or putting it down because you don't want to pay to shelter the animal? "PETA hasn't just gotten celebrites to stop using fur, they've got companies to stop using it. As i've stated before, this hurts the fur trade. " None of which matters when there are companies out there which take their places! If people don't think its wrong then they will just buy it from another company. Its not hurting the fur trade at all it merely means the fur is being monopolized. PETA throughout this debate have been proven bad for Society in general Ethical treatment for animals is only a small part of society and even at that they failed! Lets look at the facts without animal testing we would not have many of the treatments for cancer we would be in a society 50 years in the past. PETA if they had their way would have no testing on animals and that would mean that future medicines would be hard to test unless tested on the humans in society leading to deaths of many important figures in society! Any reasonable person would see this is a negative in society. Fur is still a thriving business with many in poverty like situations having fur as an important income. Without that needless people could die in places such as China where there is no benefits for the unemployed. Again any reasonable person would see this is a negative towards society. Through this whole debate I have proven that PETA does not have any positive impact in general over society and even that its own moral ethical treatment for animals is flawed. PETA may stand for the people for ethical treatment of animals but maybe they should consider calling themselves Pretend Ethics Totally Abused. Finally Society is about humans but when PETA's leader Newkirk says that "the world would be a better place without people."[9] Then it seems that PETA is against society and instead would prefer the destruction of Society this surely proves that PETA once and for all is bad for Society Thank You for the open and great debate. 1.http://www.peta.org... 2.http://www.examiner.com... 3.http://www.sbacc.org... 4.http://www.projectpurr.org... 5.http://www.dogpolitics.com... 6.http://latimesblogs.latimes.com... 7.http://www.doggienews.com... 8.http://www.itchmo.com... 9.http://www.sfgate.com...
