WHAT ARTISTS ARE INVOLVED WITH PETA?

Many artists these days believe that animals don't deserve to be eaten and not be worn. Many of them have been on the cover of PETA magazines and have said that they will rather go naked.

For example, Tommy Lee declared "Ink, not mink", in the new ad for PETA. He says, "Be comfortable in your own skin and let the animals keep their." Tommy Lee learned about PETA from a longtime friend, Pamela Anderson, another famous artist. Another famous artist involved with PETA is Eva Mendes, she says that she'd rather get naked than wear fur. Therefore, she posed nude for PETA's ani-fur campaign. http://www.furisdead.com/feat_eva_mendes.asp Eva says that she knows how animals are mistreated in fur farms and she doesn't feel like wearing a dead animal over her body.

Many artists these days do wear fur just to look "fresh" but how can somebody look fresh with a dead animal over their body. But on the other hand many artists have different opinions about animals and have joined PETA and many people have changed their mind with the help of these artists. Its like if somebody who's big does something big the smaller big also wants to do the big thing.

GOVERNMENT WITH PETA

GOVERNMENT WITH PETA

If the government actually put attention to PETA maybe people would change their point of views. The government can allow PETA members to protest and show videos on TV how these animals are treated. But instead the government is too busy with the war and spending billions of dollars on the war.

There's a group called NAIA, National Animal Interest Alliance is calling upon the government to revoke the tax-exempt status of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) because of its support for individuals and organizations that engage in illegal activities and violence. http://www.the-aps.org/pa/action/news/peta.htm

In most countries the government requires some animal based toxicity testing as a condition for the importation or sale of pesticides, industrial chemicals, drugs and vaccines, genetically manipulated foods, and some consumer products. http://www.peta.org/MC/factsheet_display.asp?ID=125 Also animals in the U.S. are being injected with substances like Botox until they become paralyzed and suffocate, even though there are modern, non-animal methods to test the deadly neurotoxin. The government has failed to take action to approve these humane methods.

PETA is pressuring world governments, both individually and through international consortia such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the International Conference on Harmonization, to take steps to reduce their reliance on animal testing by becoming more involved in the development and use of sophisticated non-animal test methods. Also PETA makes activities, that are supposedly "violent", but if they don't make up these activities they won't be heard.

Many people do activities so the government can do something about it and so far nothing is being accomplished. Therefore, PETA would not give up and still be "violent" until the government can pay attention.

SHOULD PETA EXIST

SHOULD PETA EXIST

YES PETA should exist because if PETA didn't exist many humans won't realize whats going on. PETA should exist because if PETA gets enough supporters many things can get accomplished.

For example, one of the most famous brands in the world like GUCCI, were killing baby seals for their fur.http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/gucci_fur Innocent baby seals were used for boots and from the help of many members of PETA GUCCI has agreed to stop selling seal fur. Thousands of other wounded pups (estimates range from 15,000 to 150,000 per year) manage to escape the hunters but die later of their injuries or drown after falling off the ice (pups younger than about 5 weeks cannot swim). The seals are hunted chiefly for their pelts, which are exported to Norway, Finland, Hong Kong, Turkey, Russia, and other countries, where they are used to make expensive designer-label coats and accessories. Among the major vendors of these products are the Italian fashion-wear companies Gucci, Prada, and Versace.

PETA is an important group because many humans in the world need to realize how important they are and they have the same feelings as us humans. Its very brutal and unbelievable how humans treat animals this way. PETA has accomplished many goals and they are in the future witht the support from 1.8 million members.
