And that is why I will always hate ARA types like PETA. How the fuck can you take away the one thing a man has left in this world, just to satisfy your own self righteous slacktivist agenda. These people are probably too lazy and too chicken shit to go anywhere where actual animal abuse occurs. They just picked an easy target, right before they go to Starbucks and sit on their fucking laptops all day, pretending they're actually doing some good in the world. They'll get theirs one day.


PETA is one of the worst organizations ever.  They actually kill more more animals then they rescue or help.

If those ARA are telling the truth (the not so homeless guy was using the dog as a begging tool), then I agree with what was done.

To me, the man didn't look like he was just pretending to be homeless.

And even if he really did "use" the dog for begging: that was hardly the primary or even the only reason he had the dog. Most homeless people are extremely attached to their dogs, if only because it's the only loyal friend they have and doesn't look down on them for being homeless.

And even if one considers it immoral to use animals for commercial reasons: With that motivation in mind, wouldn't it be much more effective then to break into, say, an advertising studio that uses cute animals in TV commercials? Well, they didn't do that, probably because they were very well aware that they might get charged and face legal consequences. A homeless man is a much easier victim, he wouldn't possibly take a lawyer and bring these animal rights activists to court.

If he's actually homeless, then yeah, I agree with you. But assumptions...

Also, I very much doubt they did that just because that guy could've been using the dog for "commercial reasons". I think it has to do more with the treatment of the animal and if he's being left without food and water for several hours, unnecesarily, if the guy was indeed a faker.

Then, again:
