‘Hunger Games’ Star Jennifer Lawrence: ‘Screw P.E.T.A.’. P.E.T.A.: It‘s the Animals That are ’Screwed’

As if some people needed another excuse to fawn over Hollywood’s latest phenom Jennifer Lawrence.
The star of the smash hit “The Hunger Games” is grabbing headlines yet again, but this time not for her acting, but for her comments about PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), the radical animal rights group.
In short, Lawrence doesn’t seem to be a big fan. In a recent interview in Rolling Stone, she summed up her thoughts in two words: “Screw PETA.”
Lawrence got candid when talking about a scene in her breakout movie “Winter’s Bone” where she is seen skinning a squirrel.
“I should say it wasn’t real, for PETA. But screw PETA,” she told the magazine.
PETA wasn’t too happy, and decided to attack the 21-year-old star’s age.
“She’s young and the plight of animals somehow hasn’t yet touched her heart. As Henry David Thoreau said, ‘The squirrel you kill in jest, dies in earnest,’” PETA’s Ingrid Newkirk told Gothamist. “We are told that this squirrel was hit by a car, but when people kill animals, it is the animals who are ‘screwed,’ not PETA, and one day I hope she will try to make up for any pain she might cause any animal who did nothing but try to eke out a humble existence in nature.”
The young actress spent a month in the backwoods preparing for “Winter’s Bone,” and she seems to have fallen in love at least somewhat with the lifestyle: she told Rolling Stone that once she‘s done with her next movie she’s “thinking about buying a house. And a big dog. And a shotgun.”

I used to hunt. I ate the meat. What is wrong with eating meat? I was an excellent shot and except for one time, I shot and the animal dropped and felt nothing.

Where does PETA think working horses go when they shut down racing venues, carriage rides, etc.? Horsie Nirvana? No, they go to the slaughter house, or they are abandoned to starve when their owners can no longer feed them because their business has been shut down. PETA does more harm to animals than Jeffrey Dahmer did. PETA isn’t about loving animals, its about hating people.

Haha, I am taking an American literature course at the moment and studying Thoreau. I am having the most terrible time interpreting what it is he is saying. I find that I Actually agree with much of what he says, same with Emerson, but I keep finding others interpreting what they say differently than I understand them. I wonder if it is them or I who is wrong. I could argue much about the sentiment they may have and the reasons for them having it. They speak of natural laws, and I would say that senseless killing may be in opposition to the spirit of life, but then again, there life cycles do continually go around and around. Even if it only a bacteria that benefits from the kill, we would not survive with out bacterias. While I do say that the person who acted out upon the senseless kill, or kill in jest, is really the only one who pays the price. But it is his price that he pays as his actions take away from his own spirit, not anybody else. As I had expressed in my one post in class, I believe it is arrogant of humans to believe they are so powerful they can “kill the planet”, for mother nature will only recycle us as she had the dinosaurs, and continue on. Who knows, what I do know is I will probably have my analytical post for class determined WRONG.. hehe but I Can’t help myself.

Look, I devote pretty much all the time I’m not at my job working with rescue groups and as your quotation marks around your description of PETA suggest, you probably agree that PETA is less about animals and more about using victimization as a political wedge for an entirely different agenda. PETA would prefer to kill an animal rather than domesticate it. That’s who they are.
The big problem and the one supported by some of the more upsetting comments here is that all rescues and animal support groups tend to get tossed into the same muck as PETA and the real work we do gets lost.

Posted on April 11, 2012 at 2:32pmTRUE conservatives see this world as a rare jewel that needs to be preserved. We are to be stewards – use the world’s resources as needed but do it with restraint, “conserving” it for our kids and grandkids. Isn’t it PETAful (couldn’t resist, sorry) that the collectivist icons of recent history – the USSR, those nations trapped behind the Iron Curtain, China, North Korea – and the poorest and “closest to nature” countries in Africa, have such abysmal environmental records. Through our industrial wealth and technological prowess, the US has been able to clean its air and water like few other countries. Yes, man as a herd can be stupid: the bison kills from trains in the 1800′s; hunting that drove species to extinction, but WE have learned, and, yes, some that initially cried the loudest were the tree-huggers. I will give them that well deserved credit, but the Gia worshipers today have gone off the deep end. They see mankind as a virus on mother earth that must be eliminated and controlled and, of course, THEY, the ENLIGHTENED ONES, are just the fools to do it. PETA and related groups are only using the emotional tug the left has so effectively used for years to rial up the “99%-ers” and others for the sole purpose of gaining and exerting power for power’s sake. Logic? There IS no logic, no time for transition. Look at the clean energy push: cut oil use cold-turkey with no established alternative. THAT nuts; THOSE are the fools driving us to destruction.

I respect your dietary choice.
The comments from the posters mostly reflect the reaction to the often arrogant and supercilious attitudes from vegetarians and particularly PETA supporters towards that those of us who are omnivores.
While I personally follow a live and let live philosophy regarding dietary choices, many of the PETA supporters do not. Years ago, while on an errand in a nearby city, I was confronted on a public sidewalk by several angry PETA supporters who were furious that I was wearing “leather” docksiders. Aside from their rudeness and obnoxious behavior, I ended up having the last laugh since my docksiders were 100% synthetic.
And regarding animal liberation, my two cats would like to say that while meals still are not served on their demand in this household, they enjoy the attention of three companions, have run of the house which they believe is their fiefdom. Trust me, their overall health and living conditions have improved tremendously since they both came in from the street a few years ago.

Posted on April 11, 2012 at 9:05amRemeber the old saying: Meat’s not meat until it is the pan”? PETA will starve to death because they don’t know how to get into the pan.
I have never met a hunter who isn’t very concerned with wounding a deer. We want clean kills. We don’t want our prey to suffer.

Posted on April 11, 2012 at 1:03pmIf you want to insure an animal never goes extinct, make it an acceptable food.
Are cows endangered? Chickens? Goats? No, because they are DELICIOUS!

Posted on April 11, 2012 at 8:58amI agree – SCREW PETA!! When is PETA going to be concerned for the plants they eat. Afterall, they are living things, too, just trying to “ekk out a humble existence in nature”.
Oh yeah, they’re plants and have no rights. But it is a living thing.
Just saying

Posted on April 11, 2012 at 5:44pmShe never had any theatrical/acting training. I think that her charm is in the fact that the roles fit her mindset, beside being a natural talent.

Posted on April 11, 2012 at 8:56amThe plight of animals doesn’t touch my heart. That humble existence in nature includes killing and eating other animals. And if they can swing it, those poor critters will kill and eat PETA. Makes me smile just thinking about it. Though it’s still not heart touching.

Posted on April 11, 2012 at 4:41pmUse a fermented pumpkin to get the squirrel drunk ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0so5er4X3dc ) and it would have a nice taste when stewed.
My cat kills squirrels for two reasons: A) a snack; B) they are very noisy when in a multitude and she is irritated by that chitter. You wouldn’t believe how they quiet down when one is caught! She leaves drunken squirrels to me, because she thinks that is the only state I can hunt them down. Which is considerate of her.
