We merely share the planet with a whole host of other living breathing beings that are just like us in that they too are capable of suffering. African Americans were AND continue to be oppressed in a variety of ways. Same with Native Americans, Women, Homosexuals and too many other groups of individuals around the world to list here. Don't get pissed off at the messenger, get pissed off at the oppressor AND do something to stop them. PETA is just a messenger, trying to get the word out (in cRaZy ways) that billions of animals around the world are being oppressed. That they are seen as "lessor" beings and thusly used for food, clothing, entertainment, and experimentation. Once enough people like you and I get this message AND do something to stop the animal oppressors, the needless suffering placed upon them will will be stopped. I believe, if we all were to stop the senseless arguing about who is being oppressed the most AND banded together to take the power away from the oppressors, we'd finally once and for all stop the widespread oppression that has been plaguing human as well as non-humankind for good. Moreover, why would anyone care if they're compared to an animal? Is it because of some pathetic idea of a hierarchy? You know, the one created about 10,000 years ago where there's some old white dude with a beard on the top rung of a ladder looking down upon all he other groups sitting on their individual little rungs. Pathetic! Isn't it this kind of thinking that was the genesis for oppression in the first place? Please, let's get over ourselves, get along, get together, and fight together until all the power is equally distributed. Just my thoughts, thanks for listening :-) We are not the only living creatures on the planet!

But it's a pretty good bet that if you don't like being caged, having your nose (beak) cut off, being fed your own feces and being crammed into a tiny space with dozens of others then an animal probably won't like it either.

People join PETA because it's trendy. It's seen as a safe-but-"edgy" group, and once the Hollywood types join in the "fight" -- others are sure to follow, no matter what color they may be. To me, comparing the way chickens on a farm are treated to slavery is beyond absurd and only shows how convoluted people can be. Easy. People join PETA because it’s trendy.
