Animal Collective Speak Up for Seals

[colbent]

I like seals and I like Animal Collective, but I hate PETA

[cburns1391]

GEOLOGIST!

[ZOMGKELP]

I don't think Animal Collective could possibly be any more awesome.

[Danigirl164]

why do they do that to the seals its not fair

[TheDivineAberration]

Oh god... Animal Collective... support peta?!

[emericanskatermatt]

@TheDivineAberration know they support animals. they're working with peta, an organization that.. supports animals

[TheDivineAberration]

@emericanskatermatt PETA, being such horrible hypocritical murderers. Dig abit deeper into what PETA are truely about. You'll be surprised.

[emericanskatermatt]

@TheDivineAberration alright i will. can't say much til i've looked in to it. otherwise there is ignorance in what i say and i don't want that

[lorrding]

but... who's gonna club our seals if Canada has to stop it? There's a reason you know

[muppetspuppets]

I support you 100% peta

[middleway1000]

While I know many compassionate folks who agree with some of their basic goals, PETA act like the fundamentalist evangelicals of the environmental movement. A basic issue--treat animals humanely--is misrepresented, filtered through a great marketing scheme and becomes propaganda which distracts people who do care from more urgent issues and alienates those who dont care (yet) by casting a shadow of irrationality and extremism over everyone who is advocating to help animals and the environment

[middleway1000]

Hey twopoint0, Im actually talking about exactly the opposite. Id like to see everyone have more compassion for humans and animals alike and for everyone to start taking serious action over the environment. Im as disheartened by comments like the sealer getting a good hit as I am by PETAs simplistic spin-doctoring. This is not a simple two-sided issue, in spite of what theyd have you think, and that we should be very very suspicious of anyone or any group who says that it is.

[wyliesong]

Middleway1000 said it all, "rhetoric over reason."

PETA was obviously going for shock value. Why else would they actually show a seal being beaten to death?

[pancakesforone]

This is exactly why, as an Animal Collective die-hard, I make a point of knowing as little about their personal lives as possible... because they are stupid.

[gorkysire]

That guy really got a good hit at 1:10

[salscorner30]

the image of a brained seal totally coulda worked on noah's person pitch tour

[middleway1000]

There's a much larger and more complex ethical gray area around this issue than PETA would like you to believe.

In the meantime, animals go extinct at a nauseating rate all over the world while they scream themselves hoarse about a regulated, humane hunt of a free range animal who is listed at the very lowest point of the IUCN conservation status scale. It's rhetoric over reason.

[thebigpaul666]

so this gonna make bourgeois fuckers to care about animals. good

[positivelywacky]

nonononon onononono no no no no the one band i hoped wouldn't get sucked into a peta campaign no no nononononon no no no non o

[twopoint0]

So, caring about animals and working to stop cruelty is bad to you? Get off of your high-horse.

[tonybordeaux]

But if they don't club the seals, how will they get the fur so nice?

[roxonogueira]

dude.. you don't get to joke about it...not cool

[thebigpaul666]

you are shit

[HighVoltage135]

ADOBE SLABS FOR MAH SEALS

[ArthurFlemmingsJr]

YOU DON'T CARE FOR FANCY THINGS?

[Massivecarcrash]

[Malchickiwick17]

I love Animal Collective, and I've always been very strongly against clubbing seals but I really wish they hadn't done this under Peta....
