It’s not mercy killing when the animals weren’t suffering and weren’t voluntarily given up. It’s murder for the sake of their agenda.

Your beef with PETA is that they euthanize sick animals when shelters can’t afford to?

So PETA doesn’t euthanize sick animals?

>PETA euthanizes healthy animals as well
>you think PETA doesn’t euthanize sick animals?There isn’t a single thing I can say to convince someone who isn’t arguing in good faith.

Am I arguing or using the Socratic method?
Have you always felt the Socratic method is bad faith, or just when you already have a strong opinion?

Euthanasia as in animals, no matter the quality of life, adoptability, and years left, are put down by the thousands because they’re inconvenient to keep alive and get adopted while PETA preaches that killing animals is wrong. Also, did you read the bit about them kidnapping animals from kids and old people?
Plus they’re cowards without the courage of their convictions. When I was growing up their protests included throwing red paint on people in fur but they wouldn’t do it to someone in biker leathers. One got them shunned and laughed at, the other would get them killed like the animals they stole.
TL;DR their whole schtick is to either destroy others’ property or steal loved members of families who have fur while killing many more animals than they save.

How many family pets have they kidnapped in total?
pivot_root@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Consider that any number more than “zero” pets kidnapped and killed by a private entity is too many.
WamGams@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
So is the number 1 time, 5 times? What is the situation?

How many are you comfortable with?
WamGams@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
I am just asking the total number that you are aware of?
Is it just 1? Is it 5? Is it 8 million?
