What's that got to do with trying to traumatize kids with gruesome posters? AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2013 #1

Are they traumatized? LittleBlue Nov 2013 #3

An honest question would be whether a PETA person made an effort to do so. AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2013 #8

Okay, but I'm trying to make the point LittleBlue Nov 2013 #11

Why should they be prevented? Because it wouldn't be effective for change. kcr Nov 2013 #13

Of course they're going to get upset LittleBlue Nov 2013 #14

Wait for evidence of traumatizing? kcr Nov 2013 #16

Or just making baseless assumptions LittleBlue Nov 2013 #21

Baseless assumptions? kcr Nov 2013 #36

You know what's worse than gruesome posters? athena Nov 2013 #57

Ah, someone who engaged in binary thinking. Post gruesome posters for kids OR feed them chicken. AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2013 #68

What do you do to stop animal abuse? SoLeftIAmRight Nov 2013 #82

The same as traumatizing kids with video games and movies of an equal or greater content of violence LanternWaste Nov 2013 #75

I think it's a shame PETA is so awful at raising awareness. kcr Nov 2013 #2

"traumatizing children" is propaganda. It's not happening. There is no proog of it. cui bono Nov 2013 #23

I've seen young children "traumatized" by Barney and Santa Claus. Some kids cry easy. nt Electric Monk Nov 2013 #26

Well, that's the point. kcr Nov 2013 #45

There's no proof that they've ever done this? n/t kcr Nov 2013 #29

like the "environmentalist" in Promised Land dionysus Nov 2013 #39

PETA cares more about getting attention for their shit than bringing awareness to these type of JI7 Nov 2013 #17

Peta has done a lot of good for animals Sunlei Nov 2013 #18

That doesn't seem to be something that would be attainable Arcanetrance Nov 2013 #32

I'm against it in one way for example I really believe people who adopt pets need to be vetted Arcanetrance Nov 2013 #60

That is called responsible pet ownership tabbycat31 Nov 2013 #72

Yeah I guess I should say I'm against irresponsible pet ownership Arcanetrance Nov 2013 #77
