THIS is what i mean when I say animal rights groups are absolute garbage that waste time, resources and money, all whilst doing nothing for animal’s welfare. 

peta have ruined a person’s life and career over a fucking photo. This is what peta does with it’s donated money and resources. This is what you’re supporting when you support animal rights groups.

This is such an ignorant and dense statement. You want to slam animal rights groups? By all means, target PETA. Call them out all you want. But the VAST majority of animal rights groups fight tooth and nail for animals to have some semblance of respect and not be treated as tools and products in a world that sees nothing past the price tag. I can tell you know nothing of animal rights organizations by the generalized anger you’re displacing about PETA. Don’t disrespect the hard work animal rights activists do through rescue, sanctuaries, law, politics, and public awareness

Rescues, sanctuaries, law advocates, etc is the work of animal WELFARE groups. Animal rights groups (ELF, PETA, ALF, HSUS, protection for furbearers, mercy for animals, and even greenpeace) are classified as domestic terrorists. 

Maybe if they did some good you could defend this, but the issue is most of these groups have charges of falsifying footage and criminal cruelty to stage the “awareness” videos they produce. 

Your local humane society, and animal welfare organizations are the ones on the ground rescuing animals. 

HSUS is facing fraud and racketeering charges relating mostly to taking hundreds of thousands in donations to help victims of Katrina. Not a single cent they can account for helped any animal and worse they interfered with real rescue groups and put them in danger.

 Mercy for Animals is under heavy suspicion of having staged the famous skinned alive tanuki video. A lot of their claims and even the footage which they did release (over an hour of cut footage was withheld even with court orders for it) contradicts their story. 

1. the man has no clue what he is doing and has obviously never done this before 
2. he is in street clothes not a butcher outfit like a man nearby 
3. onlookers are confused asking in the local dialect why he is trying to skin it alive and commenting how abnormal that is which has been translated by native speakers 
4. look at the pile. Why is it the ONLY bloody animal in the pile? Because it’s the only one that was skinned alive. The rest are bloodless which is how skinning a dead animal is. 
5. it is more difficult, dangerous and results in a lower value fur… there is no rational reason someone would do more work for less pay. 

PETA has been caught using clips from court confirmed staged films where criminal cruelty charges were laid as well as misleading about the origins of real cruelty claiming footage shot at a fox urine/musk farm of foxes with injuries to the bone is a “normal fur farm”. 

The real situation was these were animals seized from a farm that had been shut down for cruelty before peta arrived and shot their footage before the vet arrived to humanely euthanize the animals via lethal injection.

 Protector for Furbearers has criminal charges for catching coyotes and setting them loose in a small pen filled with barbaric traps that are never really used and filmed them suffering for hours in their completely staged film They Take So Long to Die. 

How about Arctik films who has criminal charges and a signed statement from the man who clubbed a baby seal and skinned it alive was paid to do so by animal rights groups. The footage is still used by PETA and HSUS. 

ALF has caused massive environmental damage mass releasing captive mink from fur farms into the wild. The release mink died slowly from hunger and many were run over. Those that survived? Decimated the populations of many species and may have caused the extinction of a bird. 

Animal welfare is good- animal rights groups are bad. 

Ps I’m an ex-member of animal rights groups for a reason. They hurt way more animals and people than they do any good. 

PETA uses donations to 

1. buy freezers to store the majority of the animals they take in and immediately kill 
2. to make falsified ads and try bully kids into being vegan 
3. pay bail on those who fire bomb labs- with people inside.
   You may not agree with animal testing but killing or harming someone who is just doing their job and maybe the only way they can make ends meet? Try justify that to their families.

Thanks @lilrabbitssong. I really really good break down on the difference between animal rights and animal welfare groups and why it’s important to know that difference.
