PETA
you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?
you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, statingĀ ā We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldnāt do as much workā?
you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?
you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?
you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?
you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasnāt even real?
you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?
Because I remember. I remember everything.Ā
And Iām gonna make sure everyone else remembers too.Ā
Why would they kill pit bulls theyāre sweeties
Because PETA does not care about animals. they do not care that these dogs live and breathe and feel and want love like every other dog. they do not care about the history of human/dog bonding and co-evolution, they do not care that dogs and human beings have relied on each other for millennia, they do not care that its cruel and morally repugnant to put down an animal just because you can, they do not care about animals.Ā
PETA cares about money and publicity, its a corporation run by a psychopath who is afraid of pitts as it states in the link: she was apparently bit by one, and now she hates them.Ā
PETA doesnāt give a rats ass about animals. They just want to kill and make money off of idiots who fall of their spiel.
Some celebs support them
ah cāmon, dear-tumb1r, I think youāre being a bit harsh. I mean, okay, PETAās done some questionable things, but itās not like theyāve also
-spread false information about milk causing autism based on outdated bullshit information
-used holocaust imagery to compare the meat industry to concentration camps (no pictures)
-used a young manās brutal death as a way to say āyeah thatās awful but it happens to animals every day and nobody cares about thatā (tw: no pictures but the way the guy died is described and it is really horrible)
-dressed up in KKK robes and protested outside of the Westminister Dog Show to protest breeding/pure bred dogs (tw: racism)
-offered to pay the water bill for literally the poorest neighborhood in Detroit if and only if they all went vegan for a month (tw: self-righteous shitheads)
-and they definitely didnāt have two of their workers accept perfectly healthy animals from an animal hospital, with the implication that they would give them good homes, clarify that these animals were all healthy and well-tempered, and then euthanized them all in the back of a kill-van before dumping their dead bodies behind a grocery store (tw: PICTURES OF DEAD ANIMALS, animal death)
-and they totally didnāt get off pretty much scot-free for it because PETA has loads of money and lawyers to defend themselves, which coincidentally might be why the Cerate family hasnāt seen justice for their kidnapped and murdered dog, Maya. (tw: animal death)
Nah. PETAās not that bad.
(/the heaviest of all my fucking sarcasm, I am salty as a fucking winter road, lord do I fucking hate PETA)
Did you think i was fucking joking, PETA?
I will make sure everyone fucking remembers what youāve done.Ā
Bringing it back, because itās charity season and people need to know NOT to give charity to these fuckers.Ā
Itās like watching a car repeatedly drive straight into a wall. Itās unexplainable, it looks like it hurts a lot, but ultimately it ends up being darkly, ironically funny.
omg yes. Itās funny but terrible
EDIT: Also, be sure to check out the salty comments from Americans who canāt stand this totally harmless satire
Watch: Leonardo DiCaprio calls to end climate change in Oscar acceptance speech.
He worked like 20 something years to win an award and when he finally did he used his 30 second speech to talk about the environment. Fuck yes.
Over the last few years, DiCaprio has steadily donated his celebrity - and at least $30m in funding according to his foundation - to help advance the United Nations climate negotiations, protect coral reefs and tigers, to stop overfishing, to create marine reserves in the Pacific,Ā and spread public awareness about the dangers of climate change. (from How Leonardo DiCaprio became one of the worldās top climate change champions)

The demand for an ever-replenishing supply of cheap āfast fashionā has been a race to the bottom, in which factories outsource to the lowest bidders, resulting in human rights violations for the workers and unregulated pollution of the environment. In fact, fashion is the second-highest polluting industry behind oil.
āWho made your clothes? A āSlow Fashionā revolution risesā

Before I start this little spiel, I need you all to know: Iām not hating on people who donāt vaccinate their kids, and while I know for a fact BASED ON facts that vaccines donāt cause autism or other ādefectsā, Iām all for continuing research to make them even better and safer.
But you know what really, really scares me about the anti-vax movement? As a future Public Health Professional, the thing that scares me most about this is the fact that our cultural mindset has become so CHILL about vaccine-preventable/āchildhoodā diseases that there is even room for such a movement. Let me explain.
Do yāall know what an R0 is? The R-naught, as it is called, is the basic reproduction rate of a disease. It tells you how many new infections can come from one existing infection. For example, an R-naught of 3 (R3) means that, on average, one sick person will infect three other people. Every disease has an R-naught, some greater and some lesser.
Do you remember when everyone was freaking out about Ebola? Everyone was terrified of catching it, because itās SOOOOO contagious and deadly, right? Ebola has an R-naught of 2. Thatās it. R2. One person with Ebola, on average, will get 2 more people sick. And we were freaking out about that.
Well guess what? Measles is the most contagious disease known to mankind, and it has an R-naught of 18. 18. One person with measles will give it to 18 new people, and those people will give it to 18 new people EACH, and so on. Thatās what happened with the Disneyland outbreak; itās so ridiculously contagious that just ONE sick child was enough to start an epidemic.
And yet very few people are as scared of measles as they are of Ebola. Why is that? One reason could be the nature of the disease, sure; Ebola is terrifying in its progression and symptoms. But I would suggest that a major reason is that measles has been so well-contained by vaccination that people no longer fear it. Itās not a part of every-day life anymore; this disease is no big deal because nobody gets it, because so many people are vaccinated against it. Letās put this another way.
What are the diseases that scare everyone the most: Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and SARS are pretty high on the list of terror diseases. But letās look at the R0s, shall we: Ebola-R2. HIV/AIDS-R5. SARS-R5.Ā
Now letās look at diseases that people are voluntarily rejecting vaccinations against: Measles, Pertussis, and Diphtheria are the major ones. Their R0s? Measles-R18. Pertussis-R17. Diptheria-R7.
Everyone focuses on the former set of diseasesā rightly so, I supposeā because theyāre more dangerous at the present time. What makes them more dangerous? Not their R0; itās the fact that there is no viable treatment, and NO VACCINE. Seriously, thatās why the medical community is worried about them. Thereās no way to treat or PREVENT their spread biologically. Well guess what? Thereās no viable treatment for Measles or Pertussis, and only limited treatment options for Diphtheria. Thatās why the medical community doesnāt focus on them as much, because we can prevent them at the biological level, safely and effectively.
But now that the Anti-Vax movement has taken hold so firmly, the medical community is now being forced to once more worry about diseases it had almost eradicated. And not only that, itās endangering herd immunity for the people who canāt receive their own vaccines due to compromised immune systems. Iām allergic to eggs, so I canāt receive the flu shot, but Iām also asthmatic so I canāt get the inhaled vaccine. I rely entirely on the people I associate with to keep me safe from the flu by getting their yearly shot. This made public school a living nightmare, because almost NOBODY got their shot. They caught it, and while it didnāt affect them TOO terribly because they were generally healthy, when I caught it, it was very dangerous because of my asthma. And then thereās that time when I caught the flu, and then right after because of my weakened immune system, I caught Whooping Cough from someone who hadnāt been vaccinated. I HAD been vaccinated, but my body was so fatigued from the flu that it couldnāt keep up with immune demands. And so I caught it.
Have you ever had Pertussis (whooping cough)? Itās hard enough on someone with full lung capacity; it can break ribs, it makes you cough so hard. You cough until there is literally no air in your lungs, and you have to inhale so forcefully it makes the āwhoopingā sound that gives it the name. Itās painful beyond belief, and it can last for weeks. Some people will survive it. But add that to asthma, or to a young child, or to an elderly person, and you are looking at either permanent damage or death, no exceptions. When I had it, I was about 6 years old, and asthmatic; I spent 81 hours awake because the coughing was so violent I physically couldnāt sleep. I tore abdominal muscles. I vomited during coughing fits and aspirated the vomit. I was actively dying. The doctors could barely suppress the cough enough for me to breathe at all. My inhaler wasnāt helping, none of the cough syrups or breathing treatments were helping; I was getting pneumonia on top of the virus. It was Hell. I was LUCKY that I didnāt die.
Who would wish that on their child? Nobody, I hope. And if you KNEW you could keep your child from ever experiencing that, wouldnāt you do whatever it took to ensure their safety?
Or would you look at the safeguard and say, āNah. Iāll take my chances with my childās life.ā?
That is what the anti-vax movement is doing. Perhaps not purposefully, but thatās the end result. These arenāt just names on syringes designed to make a child cry; the diseases are real, and real threats to health and life, and the vaccines are how you prevent them. Yet we are so far removed from the impact and effects of these diseases BECAUSE of the peace brought to us BY vaccines that people now feel no qualm about refusing vaccines.
Thatās what scares me about the anti-vax movement; people have become so complacent that they no longer worry about these very real, very deadly diseases. Theyād rather risk their childās life than get a shot? The side effects of vaccines are unproven (nonexistent), but the efficacy of vaccines are very much proven.
When the pertussis vaccine first came out, people jumped on it right away. They were so grateful to have it, and for a while everything was smooth sailing, and whooping cough was on the decline. Then, in the 70s, some groups started claiming the pertussis vaccine was causing brain injury in young children. Less than 50 in 15 million cases were reported, but it was enough to scare people away from the vaccine. And children began dying again. It was later discovered that it was NOT the vaccine, but the result of infantile epilepsy, that caused the brain damage. People began once more vaccinating their children, but not before hundreds if not thousands had died.
And thatās whatās happening now. A falsified claim scared just enough people that time-tested, lab-tested, fully-proven, totally safe vaccines are being rejected, and weāre already starting to pay with lives. And Iām scared itās going to get worse. People donāt really grasp the full import of these diseases and the necessity of the vaccines until they have experienced the disease. Iām scared that itās going to come down to new epidemics before people will realize the mistake of not vaccinating.
Right now weāre still in the semi-safe zone. Enough of the population is immunized that we could probably keep most pandemics of these diseases at bay. But if this movement keeps gaining momentum, there might come a day when measles and pertussis could once again destroy thousands of people yearly. Imagine if some terrorist group weaponized Ebola and used it against this country; so many people would die, because we have no vaccine for it, no way to prevent it. That is what could happen with diseases like mumps, rubella, measles, pertussis, Diphtheria, and polio. Except it wouldnāt be terrorists using a disease as a weapon; it would be some kid in your childās class, or your neighbor across the street, or the guy who delivers the mail to your office. Thatās how life used to be, and if someone from the pre-vaccine era could see us now, theyād weep for joy at the idea that we can prevent these horrific diseases; and then theyād weep in sorrow at the idea that people are voluntarily turning down that safeguard.
Itās true, vaccines arenāt always 100% effective; I was immunized, but still got Whooping Cough (lowered immune function, if you recall). But you know who didnāt get it? My baby sister. My big sister. My cousins. My mother and father. My classmates, the other kids at my doctorās office. The nurses at the hospital. The pharmacy workers. Their children. The kids my mom taught at school. All those people were safe because of vaccines. And you know what else? When I was in India, I was exposed to polio. Didnāt get it. Know why? I was vaccinated. I was exposed to chicken pox in 5th grade. One unvaccinated kid got it, and the other 4 kids in our class who werenāt vaccinated got it. But you know who didnāt? The rest of us who WERE vaccinated.
Vaccination may not be perfect, and the only way we will improve them is by continuing research. But the fact remains that as they are now, vaccines cause no lasting side effects (injection site pain goes away), and are extremely effective at preventing dangerous, painful, debilitating, often deadly diseases. Letās keep researching, yes, but in the mean time, PLEASE vaccinate. Itās not worth your life, or your childās, or anyone elseās. Vaccines save lives, not destroy them.
Just a reminder for flu season, and with everyone going back to school. Vaccines are safe, effective, and vaccination saves lives. Go get your boosters if you havenāt yet or arenāt sure if youāre behind; itās a day or two of arm discomfort in exchange for your life. Thatās a pretty safe bet to me.
And please
Remember that not everyone can get vaccinations, and are depending on you to keep herd immunity so they can go to the grocery store. Like the person in chemo, getting a Coke at Safeway at two in the morning.
Iām from Newfoundland and a child of older parents so my mother can remember when most of these diseases were not available or outright didnāt exist. Believe me, itās a FUN MOMENT to listen to your mother describing houses in her town with a big quarantine sign on the front because of whatever disease someone in their family contracted. She talks about families who lost multiple children to these diseases. One story thatās stuck with me was a family under quarantine with diphtheria; they had to pass their dead children through a window to the people outside. They couldnāt even attend the funerals because they couldnāt leave the house.
She remembers this. Itās not a story in a history book. Itās something she remembers watching. You bet your ass I had every vaccination she could give me. I did manage to catch the chicken pox before I could be vaccinated for it, but other than that?
I got my damn shots. I donāt have kids. I donāt have plans for children, but if I did?
They would be too. Because I try to picture what it mustāve been like for parents to watch their child stop breathing, then have to wrap that little one up in sheets and PASS THEM THROUGH A FUCKING WINDOW and not even have the chance to go to the funeral and say goodbye.
This is not a āmaybe this will happenā. This is aĀ āit already hasā. Itās happened more than once and will again if the antivax movement has anything to say about it.
This is what we need. More reminders of how horrible diseases were for communities before vaccines, more stories about how they impact families, not more statistics and yelling at parents who are trying to pick whatās right for their kids.
They are choosing not to vaccinate, not because they are āstupidā or ādelusional,ā but because the risks of the diseases arenāt real to them, not like the risks of vaccination are. And those risks may be very tiny indeedābut they can understand them; the risks of the disease are so removed, and so often couched in weird āwell, I donāt care if your kid dies, but I donāt want your kid infecting mineā language⦠thatās not likely to convince anyone.
I think everyone who swallows the anti-vax bullshit should be forced to take a thorough tour of older cemetery and look at every single childās grave. There will be a LOT of childrenās graves. Children died like flies before vaccines were widespread, because theyāre very vulnerable to communicable diseases. Make them look at every single teeny weeny little grave with the dates very close together, and make sure they know exactly what that child died of. If itās a decent-sized urban cemetery, this could take several days to a week. Make them do it, make them hear it. Those risks were very real within living memory. I know I bang on about how important it is to know history. This is a case where lack of understanding of history - and inability to empathize with people just like us who lived just a few decades ago - actually KILLS. Because these parents are too young to personally remember mass deaths from diseases that have largely been controlled BY VACCINES, they think the threat is gone. If they donāt care about history at all, they might not know that it even existed. (Even though thatās the REASON why historical āaverage life spansā are so low. Do you really think that in the 17th century, adults usually dropped dead at 35? Of course they didnāt. The reason the average life expectancy was so low is because the child mortality rate was so high. If you made it to 30 back then, you had a pretty good chance of making it to 70. The problem was that so many people never made it even to 10. Why? CHILDHOOD DISEASES, thatās why.) The handful of decades itās been kept at bay are not even a blink of an eye in historical terms. Vaccines are what holds that threat at bay. It is not gone. Itās not even close to gone. Itās waiting for relaxation of vigilance.
Man, this is so important. I got whooping cough at 17, broke my ribs, had high fever for weeks, and then passed it to my unsuspecting mom; my mom who worked with infant children. It could have turned real ugly. And the thing is, I and my classmates caught it from a public pool. Iām afraid to think how many kids got it there. Please vax your kids

PETA Is A Joke
Iām sorry, but this is so fucking stupid. PETA is claiming that this is what a sheep looks like after it has been sheared. In case you were wondering, this is what a sheep ACTUALLY looks like after it has been sheared:
And that isnāt some ābest caseā scenario, believe me, I live in a place that has more sheep than people, and all sheared sheep look like that. It does not hurt the animal at all, aside from perhaps the odd slip with the shears resulting in a minor graze. In fact, shearing sheep is necessary for their wellbeing, because domesticated sheep do not shed their wool like a non domesticated sheep would, which can to them looking like this:
This is Shrek, yes, that is actually his name, notice how you canāt see his legs or face? Thatās not good. He is a sheep who escaped his field and went wandering for six years, resulting in a sixty pound fleece. This is actually dangerous because it can cause overheating and if they get on their back the weight stops them from getting up again, they can die from this. PETA really cares about money and attention more than animals.
So yeah, fuck PETA, buy woolā¦and while youāre at it buy some goddamn honey because the bees need the help.
After Shrek was sheared:
