Gosh, I hope the new hurricane does not wipe PETA headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia off the map and into the ocean view that glob of concrete obstructs. I would say a word for the animals in the PETA HQ , but there aren't any are there?
That's a rather rotten thing to say. Even if you hate PETA with a vengence, there are a lot of innocent people and families that live in that area. And yes, there are quite a lot of animals at PETA HQ, especially cats, and in addition the workers often bring their pets to work with them.

Exactly what I was thinking

I must again..do you ever think about anything besides PETA? Do you have anything more to think about? If you stopped thinking about PETA could you even find anything to fill the big gaping void left by it?

PETA's 25th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards Show was a tremendous success that saw caring individuals from around the globe gather on a beautiful Hollywood night to celebrate PETA's 25 years of groundbreaking work for animals. More than 2,000 PETA supporters filled Paramount Studios' "New York Street" back lot for the celebration that featured top-notch entertainment and the country's best vegan cuisine.
Hosted by comedian Fred Willard and longtime PETA pal Pamela Anderson, the gala paid tribute to outstanding activists and celebrities who have worked hard to promote the rights of animals through PETA campaigns. PETA Humanitarian Awards were presented to Casey Affleck (his award was accepted by Joaquin Phoenix), Marc Bouwer, Lauren Shuler Donner and Richard Donner, John Feldmann, Heather Mills McCartney, Moby, Martina Navratilova, Ravi Shankar, P!nk, and Persia White. Special honorees Alec Baldwin and Morrissey received the Linda McCartney Memorial Award, which was established in 1999 in honor of Linda McCartney, who was a longtime animal rights activist and supporter of PETA. Additionally, the Nanci Alexander Activist Award was presented to Nathan Runkle, the Matthew Eyton Activist Award was presented to Dr. Steven Gross, and PETA Activist Awards were presented to graphic designers Hilly Beavan and Anthony Lawrence, who have shaped the look of PETA's iconic ad campaigns for more than two decades, and attorney Philip J. Hirschkop, who has led PETA to victory in many of its groundbreaking court cases on behalf of animals.
Also in attendance were PETA friends Jamie Lee Curtis, Roselyn Sanchez, Sean Astin, Alyssa Milano, Swoosie Kurtz, Jillian Barbarie, and Esai Morales.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, items from Pamela Anderson, John McEnroe, Stella McCartney, and others were sold in a silent auction to benefit PETA's Animal Emergency Fund, which supports PETA's aggressive work with local media outlets to advise residents not to abandon their animals during natural disasters and to provide them with vital information to keep their companion animals safe during storms. Among the items auctioned off for the Fund were a walk-on part on Anderson's TV show, Stacked, autographed tennis rackets from McEnroe and Martina Navratilova, and cruelty-free items from McCartney's fashion collection.
You know... I'm starting to wonder if Wolfgar really works for PETA, and is using reverse psychology to get us to join or something.
On a serious note, perhaps all the PETA bashing thread can be merged or something? Or just kept in one thread? PETA seems to be taking over the boards, and it's not even a large part of vegetarianism.

Me too. I don't even like PETA but Wolfar makes me want to go out and get a membership card.
I'm already a member. I just roll my eyes at this guy.

Kiz: I also think so. I mention it on another thread. Personally, my interest in PETA (coming from a country where there is no branch of it) was sparked particularly by his posts and I've already ordered some merchandise from them. And I've spoken to people about it and some of their campaigns have given me some ideas for campaigns here in Switzerland (although the Swiss are not known for virulent campaigning - they are very SLEEPY). So he's doing some great free propaganda for them.
Keep up the good work, Wolfgar! You rock!!!!
I thought the idea was for VeggieBoards to be a community, not for haters to spread their bile... :confused:

Did the media cover the event? We have PETA saying it was a grand success, and one member saying it was a flop and that no celebrities showed up. So I'd like to read what a unbiased source had to say about the event.
Wolfgar got his coverage in a press release issued by CCF, which is unsurprising. Also unsurprising is the lack of papers that picked up the press release for news coverage. In addition to being a weekend, I think that few papers rely on CCF as a source for their news. One good thing we can say about the mainstream media, I suppose. Is it too difficult to believe that Wolfgar might be involved with CCF in some way?

I have suspected this as well. Imo, it seems reasonable where on the other hand hysterical hatred towards peta is not.

Well, I just watched a video with footage from Saturday's gala, and all of the celebrities scheduled to show up were there presenting and everything. It looked like a huge success. But..whatever Wolfgar, you were there, not me.

I forgot about that.
Also, whenever I've made statements that he is involved with the likes of CCF he doesn't deny it.
I don't like to assume or even infer (about the CCF anyway). So Wolfgar, are you? yea or nay?

Oh I hadn't seen that post Sevenseas. Seems strange that the CCF would hire someone like that though.

Explain this once more:
1. An 86% euthanization rate.(per Va. state documents)
2. Ahoskie,NC(just under 100 domestic animals found in dumpster per affiant's
search warrant)
3. paying for criminal defense of Coronado, et al (per IRS filings)
4.the ALF ties per the IRS tax filings
Now, you will understand why we are a little aggravated with PETA. They are terrorist, criminal supporting hypocrites led by a Brit. Get over it if they are being attacked, they attack , it is called just desserts.
When hunting monsters becareful not to become a monster. And when you look into the abyss remember the abyss is also looking into you.
Why do you need us to explain it once more?
1. the vast majority of animals they rescue are in such dire states of health that euthanization is the only humane option left.
2. peta employees acted against peta policy without approval. it has nothing to do with peta. it's ignorant to keep bringing up something that doesn't have anything to do with peta.
3. this was a mistake on peta's behalf and they have since cut ties with direct action groups. their reasoning was that they wanted a fair trial and press exposure for animal rights.
4. you repeated #3.
Now, can we move on.

I think that Wolfgar is dangerous. I am very familiar with the SOA(School of the Americas) I beleieve he is alluding to in his post.
Look, the former killers now target what they perceive as left wing commie types when they are the NAZIS.
This guy makes me mad.
Look here and read what these "Americans" have done to innocent people.
It will not let me post but look up, school of the americas watch. I think I will drive to Ft. Benning in November Wolfgar.
Nay, not affiliated with the CCF in anyway , but rather a former instructor at the SOA so, I think if you figure that out you will see that you would do much better with the CCF. I do not recall seeing them in other countries. LOL
I'm sorry if I'm slow but what is the SOA? And if you are not affiliated with CCF then what organizations were you referring to when you said you guys were infiltrating peta?
And I have at least 30 operatives like trained. Care to see an example. Look at the ALF board on Friday. LOL
I don't think you have 30 operatives waiting to do what ever to peta because you don't like the fact that they euthinize animals. That is not reasonable. Why not share your true intentions? You don't care about the slew of other orgs that torture and kill...like CCF. Can you please tell me why that is? I've asked you this question many times but you always blow it off.
Just a group of real Americans ready to kick Ingrid's psycho derrrier off the hill at Yorktown like our forefathers did hers.
Who are your forefathers?
Just got home, the land of trees and woods, mnot concrete cesspool with power outages. The gala was a flop, and that is a primary source. I noticed Gaya ,the ardent PETA huckleberry is posting their press releases, I think they are as biased as the CCF's.
Of course peta is biased. Everyone is biased including you lol.
eta: i just noticed the SOA post so no need to answer that question wolfgar

Well said. I don't think he'll get it or care though. He's like one of the string-pull Ken-dolls that can only say like 5 or 6 things over and over again.

Mr. Pot? Mr. Kettle is on line one again, would you like me to forward him to you?

wolfgar if you are referring to the school of the americas as your identity then you have obviously been lying on this board. A Buddhist could not be a member of such an organization (which seems to have been shut down). I understand though why you seem to be so irrational and i truly hope you seek help. Why don't you give Buddhism a try for real?
The United States Army School of the Americas, located at Fort Benning, adjacent to Columbus, Georgia, trains commissioned and non-commissioned officers from Latin American militaries. Many of its graduates have returned to their home countries and committed such atrocities as rapes, disappearances, torture, and assassination; they have organized death squads and paramilitaries to counter insurgencies and maintain power. The SOA is accused of including torture in its curriculum, an accusation its defenders deny, although such a torture manual released to the public in 1991. The "Hall of Fame" at the SOA includes dictators and human rights abusers, and a number of guest instructors were invited to the school's faculty after they had committed atrocities

Thanks for the info Vahumaniac... I was going to look up SOA but didn't get around to it. How ironic that Wolfgar (aka BrokenRecord)'s supposedly biggest peeve with PETA is that they're connected to extremist direct-action groups, yet he himself is bragging about his involvement in a conservative extremist direct-action group.
