It's not intended to change minds or win hearts.

It's a fund raiser, nothing more.

Vernal, Utah is as redneck as the West can be. I don't see them winning anyone over out there--nor raising any scratch--not with a "Payback is Hell" message.

piss off a bunch of redneck fuckers that they can't stand.

before the glue even dries. PETA will waste $5000 on a sign that no one will be able to read because the rednecks will blow it to kingdom come.

I heard they were dangerous. That hunter could have ducked into the trees, but maybe it was not to be.

As for PETA, they will do anything for free publicity.

Apparently you didn't read the OP. The guy got gored in the neck from the elk's antler while rolling it over after he shot and killed it.

Something tells me you don't spend much time in the woods.

And went camping since I was a little kid. I chose the neighborhood where I live now because of the strip of public land that's all woods with a spring fed large creek... just got back from trampling through there in the pouring rain with the dog. My dad and my four older brothers were/are all woodmen, and growing up I bathed and washed clothes in a river of mountain cap runoff in NH every summer through high school, did white water body surfing, dove off a cliff into Lake Chicorua, spent a week sleeping in an igloo we built in the front yard, shot at trees with my brother's bow and arrows, learned rock climbing from the same brother and still go hiking with him and another brother. The only thing I haven't done in the woods is hunting since my father instilled in me a love of wild creatures including the most disagreeable ones. Oh yes, I've also shit and pissed in the woods more times than I can count, can make a fire with a spark even in the rain as well as make a smokeless fire. Something tells me you're just making shit up that you'd like to believe for your own convenience.

I didn't bother watching the video in the OP because I've seen it before and it had nothing at all to do with the story. Something tells me that you didn't think it was pertinent to mention that your comments were about the video rather than the story the OP was about. And instead of just mentioning your were talking about the video and apologizing for misleading comments that I'm hardly the only one that found misleading you decided to get all snide and personally insulting with making convenience based comments that have nothing to do with reality.

And now I'm off to set the mouse free that just got caught in my live trap.

there ya' go

Wouldn't that be a better group of "payback heroes" for PETA?

it sounds like a stupid idea... stick with the naked women ads PETA!

Usually, when you get someone back you have the satisfaction of seeing them suffer.

I feel like they're using women's bodies to promote their own agenda.

And yeah, I don't understand the point of this ad either.

...while pretending that they're doing it "all for the animals."

And they know that there are plenty of horndogs who will ONLY stop and look at a PETA activity for 10 seconds IF there are some bare breasts.

I think it cheapens their message, which is pretty wacky to begin with.

same here....

With picketing funerals. PeTA has sucked for a long time, but this is pretty reprehensible.

They have absolutely no class.

Nothing they do surprises me.

Because hard to defend oneself if already dead.

Apparently, no one in the organization ever says, "Wait a minute. Is this REALLY the best use of our time, money and energy?"

If they wanted, they could do a lot of good on issues such as humane treatment of farm animals and limits on laboratory experiments on animals.

Instead, everything they do makes me shake my head at their batshit insanity.

again next week in the discussion about how sign companies denied them a venue.

Final score:

Words written/said about PETA = ~2,500,000
Total cost to PETA = ~ $0.00

They can only be described as asshats. Classless asshats.

Elk tastes delicious. Deer are great. I love the taste of duck.

When I was a kid most of the meat I ate was fish my dad caught.

My dad was never big on hunting, but we had relatives who were, and they shared.

And there were often farm animals in our freezer I'd seen alive. Sheep. Pigs. Cows.

My dad's grandparents were California dairy, my moms family was wild west cattle ranching. (My mom's cousin still owns the original family homestead along with the BLM grazing permits).

I've been hunting. I didn't like it. I've been fishing, oh my how I've been fishing, but that's what many in my family do.

Look, if I'm visiting family, I'm going to be eating animals. Last time a mess of my siblings and I got together we were eating mussels we'd gathered off a shipwreck at an extremely low tide. They were good too!

My wife is a vegetarian. I have a brother whose wife is a vegetarian too.

I don't eat meat often. I'm mostly a rice-and-bean person.

But I'm never going to go PETA on anyone. Meat has been part of the human diet for as long as there have been humans.

We also have three dogs who we try to feed as "ethically" as we can afford to. I don't expect dogs to be vegetarians either.

I did not make her a vegetarian. She does not like meat. I have tried to feed her meat-based dog food, but she will not eat it. She only wants what I am eating, which is definitely not meat. She prefers eggs and cheese.

I'd never scold them for that. It's what dogs do.

We had an elderly pig hunting dog we adopted from the animal shelter. She's passed on now. I miss her.

She got two good hunts in during her retirement with us but she never did understand why we didn't shoot the pigs she caught.

First pig, first problem, was I was holding a rake, not a gun...

The second story is just as funny but I wasn't there, it was my kid.

That was a dog who loved to hunt.

Our current old lady and very domestic dog is content to eat whatever we eat, but she's also happy with the two Pleistocene dog's meatier foods. I'll buy tripe and liver and other things that would otherwise end up as "meat by-product" in cheap dog food, throw it in with their dry food and it makes them happy. Let the people buying the ground beef and steaks bear the moral burden of killing the cow or steer.

While DU continues to swing and miss (as usual on these, sorry but it is true), the clicks go on.

What else you need?

That's all.

I was working at a food coop in the 80's and the PETA people came into the store and started hanging posters of animals being slaughtered. This didn't go over well at the next Board meeting.

I love it when critters get them some payback!

I would like to see this PETA advert go national.

you see how one billboard generates a ton of FREE press? I bet peta sends out a bunch of press releases to point out that one billboard.

kindof the way republicans point out one tiny crazy statement from a nutter like rush or palin.
