Something to keep in mind enlight of the trolling by PeTA2.

[Hafsa226]

I saw her pictures, and she looks nice, actually. I just feel so bad that she had to come here and be so cruel. I mean, it's obvious that she is fat, and she should understand that we just want to lose weight too, and take good care of ourselves. She should not have called us "old fat adults" or whatever. We have enough pressure, and based on what Aurora got from her profile before it disappeared was that she hates her body and mean people.

I was a veggie, and I did it to try to lose weight, and gained it. I understand what she's going thru.

I wish I could give her a hug or something. We are here to support each other in our weight loss goals. This is what we have in common. I see people from different religions, backgrounds, jobs, political ofiliations..etc... and we here respect those differences.

Superturtle, (if you're out there) you can come here and post, and we can support you, too.

Sounds like a bunch of kids ringing your doorbell and giggling while they run away. I've lurked on PETA sites a few times and they are scarier than a horror movie. Mostly they sound like brain-washed teenagers who believe anything they are told by the higher-ups at PETA. Mostly if you jut ignore them they will go away. They say they are glad they made us "mad". Mostly us old fat adults are just amused. I totally agree that April 1 was a bad choice to post on our board. LOL

I don't know how many arguements I have gotten into with Peta, at my college me and some buds were hangin out and they came to protest our BBQ a big ole hog on a spit man it was delicious, but they came over and started their chants or what ever you call it. We were off campus across the street, which wasn't to smart considering it was Bow season and all of us where hunters. My bud opened the garage to reveal several deer carcases hanging from the rafters cooling... oh they went beserk, throwing stuff and then started to cross the street at us. We then got out baseball bats, Some of us got our bows, and my two cop buddies that were there pulled out there side arms and lowered them to the ground. We called for the city police before it got too outta hand... Its fun to make them mad! I don't have a problem with veggies or vegan but when radical Ideas cross the threshold of my rights then we have a major problem... :guns


well what I always say, save animals the cruetly and do away with PETA. my most favorite thing about PETA is they spend 1% of their budget on animals, wow!

I belong to numerous hunter group determined to persever wildlife and conservation. And Im active in it I have my Conservation law enforcement AS degree and working on my Law enforcement BS degree.

Maybe they are right we shouldn't kill animals, we should just target them! But lets keep one around for laughs...

I know Peta thinks they mean well. Those kids think they are making a difference.

While I don't share their misconceptions and questionable practices, I do applaud youth for doing something other than playing HALO2 and being apathetic.

I don't in any way condone what the poster did here yesterday, and I hope she will resort to perhaps more pragmatic use of her time than spamming a website filled with people who've been extremely successful at this way of eating in an omnivorous fashion.

As well, many of us consciously oppose animal cruelty and support organic and humane ranching and farming practices through consumption of organic foods and grass-fed beef.

There is a happy medium to be had, but at the same time, sometimes it takes extremists to get things noticed, and she got noticed. She didn't make a difference, but she thinks she did.

Maybe that's all she needs right now.

I was looking through the PETA message board yesterday, because my friend and I always do things, even though we aren't vegan..but whatever, some of the stuff is funny. Anyway, then I saw the atkins post and got really mad. So i did a search on the board, you have to see how many people hated atkins over there. And they know absolutely nothing about it. They just hate it because we eat meat. So I started a little post over there, but I think i'm going to get attacked for saying Im on it.

[IKrystal IKlear]

Oh, Lindsey is very p.o'd. After super turtle made her little post here, everyone over there congratulated her. So after my post, theres a administration post over there, telling all vegans to get Atkins people to go vegan. If they already started a webpage about Atkins, it's never good. Most likely in the next week, this board is going to be attacked by this kids. They're crazy.

Lindsay, I have to pat you on the back for not doing there what Super Turtle did here.

You didn't resort to personal insults.
You didn't start spamming the board with multiple posts.
You didn't admit in one of your posts that you liked being a troll and spamming this board. (BTW, if anyone from PETA2 is reading this post and wants proof what your board member did here, feel free to contact the administrators of this board for a copy of the threads she posted. So you all can be really proud of the disrespectful behavior of someone who allegedly likes living things.)

As I wrote earlier, I was a vegetarian/vegan but I wasn't one for philosophical reasons. I was one for health reasons. I did have some rather extremist acquaintances and when they found out I had to take prescription medications for my asthma and allergies, they told me it's better that I suffer with asthma then it is for an animal to be tested on for me. Their (lack of) value on human life is really eye-opening.

[2big4mysize]

they award points for posting that stuff oh my oh my

[not2late]

Yeah, you saw that too 2Big. I saw in their college forum you can get a free PETA t-shirt if you do some activism stuff. Whatever...

[2big4mysize]

Tom got a SPAMMER's website taken down back in 2003 when he contacted their host site. Seems they didn't allow thier resources used for spamming. Did y'all contact the host site for the Peta2 site?
