Cosmetic Animal Research is Disastrous
Using animal testing for medical purposes is a good thing, as sacrifices must be made for the greater good of our health and that of other animals. When it comes to cosmetics, it really makes me wonder... why? Why mutilate for mere fashion, if the results aren't even used? There is the question of safety tests, however, and those seem to be needed for things like mosquito spray. These safety tests should do less harm than they had previously done, a goal PETA successfully fought for in the past.
Humans Certainly Aren't Carnivorous
Carnivores are animals that only eat meat, like tigers and sharks. Observing our anatomy reveals we certainly aren't obligate carnivores. In fact, we lean towards being frugivores like any fellow great ape. This much suffering and pollution for a food the well-to-do don't even need thanks to artificial supplements is a crime.
Vegetarians Have It Backwards
Vegetarians believe meat (the flesh of animals) is crueler than parasitic products (eggs, milk, lard, honey, gelatin, etc). In fact, it's vice versa. Milk and eggs lead to much pain to the poor girls made to produce them, and that's not even going into the unwanted offspring. Newborn male chicks are ground alive, and the people behind this have the gall to call it euthanasia. Not sure how badly bees feel about the honey they make being snagged by a mysterious paw. Gelatin and lard are also from otherwise unappetizing areas of the carcass.
Circuses Are Hell
What circuses do to force elephants to pull off tricks they can't do in the wild is disgusting. Elephant feet often deform from the unnatural circumstances and surfaces. Circuses like Cirque Du Solei are much better than animal-reliant ones. I think PETA are completely in the right about circuses.
And those were the good points of PETA.
