I heard a rumor recently that there is an individual who is a relatively high-ranking member of PETA who is an insulin-dependent diabetic (we get insulin from animals). I need to research this further, but I will definitely let you know what I find!

[DeviantConstrictors]

Here's the quote and source:

PETA Senior Vice President MaryBeth Sweetland on her use of insulin, which was tested on animals:

"I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic. Twice a day I take synthetically manufactured insulin that still contains some animal products -- and I have no qualms about it ... I'm not going to take the chance of killing myself by not taking insulin. I don't see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals."

--Glamour, January 1990

@DeviantConstrictors

Obtaining the information for it was cruel and barbaric.

Good thing is we don't have to do it again... EVER.

And again!!

So it doesn't make the person a hypocrite.

@zaxtor - Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PeTA is quoted as saying: "“Even if animal tests produced a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it."

So, the president of the organization is against animal derived cures and treatments for human diseases - yet Mary Beth Sweetland is allowed to remain a PeTA employee despite the fact that she uses an animal derived treatment for her disease. It's really as simple as that, and this: they're hypocrites.

Don't descriminate hsus

[Mitchman762]

You are right bout PETA but so wrong bout humane society. PETA kills over 10,000 animals every year. As humane eiuthinizes 1,000 year. Sorry bout don't descriminate jays cause they do a far better job and live up to what they believe in. As of PETA. They are a bunch of sinner and communests

Brilliant video, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to have someone talking reasonably and referencing research, not espousing rhetoric. I have been highly suspicious of PeTA since I heard of connections between them and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), before I never took notice of PeTA but the ALF are terrorists by any definition.

You're handling the comments in the same reasonable way, I rarely comment for want of being drawn into childish nonsensical arguments, had to this once though.

thanks for the video...i have been sharing it with friends, family, the media,and reptile forums.....thank you so much for explaining this the way you did i could never show someone whats going on the way you did in this video thanks again

Thank you for doing this video! I posted it to both FB and Twitter. I've never liked either of them. Some years ago I went with my friend to adopt a cat and she was denied for no reason. The woman told us 50% are automatically turned down. If they let the animals go to good homes they won't have any excuse for our money!

if you read on in the peta quote it stays about taking them off people who abuse them, and how some animals; though people think they are doing good. live a miserable life.
