Another classic case of blaming the victim.

Where's the outrage over the criminal who trains dogs to attack and put themselves in harm's way? Why is no one upset that the dogs weren't first asked whether they sympathize with Batman on some deeper level? What about all the dogs in Gotham City who have opinions on this? Why has no one polled them?

Irresponsible journalism to say the least.

Yes, sar, precisely. Also, isn't Batman half bat
half man?

So it's more or less as if Peta got mad at the Discovery Channel when they have the wild kingdom type shows.

Peta: Stop Animal on Animal Cruelity.

Peta should really look into Wiley Coyote. He tries to do some very mean things to Roadrunner.

They can track down Wiley by checking with the Acme company. They can probably get his address and phone number from his checks. Or his credit card info.

That should keep them busy.

I can't believe it hasn't been painfully obvious to PETA, Whitney (I assume?), and me that the guy is half freakin bat. How did we not think of that!! hahaha….

Meanwhile, yeah, Hellboy is a cat lady but have you seen what he does to every other living creature??

You know they can't go after Wile E. Coyote — ACME supplies PETA with all the black circles they throw onto brick walls.

Oh right, sar. That would present a great conflict of interest.

So how about Sylvester the Cat? He is forever trying to eat that bird. Then he goes after that mouse.

This has got to be stopped by PETA.

Ummm….since when is Batman half bat?

PETA ought to just take down Loony Tunes and Disney altogether. Irresponsible cartoon portrayal of animals. Scooby Doo obviously is handicapped in some way, yet he is endlessly mocked for saying "rut roh" instead of "uh oh."

Mickey Mouse's ears are way too big. I've been told by the mouse in my pocket that mice are quite literally afraid to be seen in public, for fear of angry mobs making derogatory comments about their ears. Have you seen an actual mouse's ear? Rather proportionally shaped. Yet Disney keeps perpetuating this "big ear" stereotype.

And don't get me started on Bugs Bunny, that racist rabbit. "'What's up' doc?" Why is he mocking urban speak? Couldn't he just say "How are you doing, doctor?"–it would be much more racially sensitive. And "doc"? Clearly some sort of derisive comment about the low percentages of African Americans in medical school.

When does it end, people?

When?

i'm not well versed in batman lore, but i thought he was scared of bats as a child, and so became a "batman" since bats were what he feared most and he wanted all the wankers in Gotham to fear him.

I'd like to send in a second wave of angry ferrets taped together to target PETA. I'm going to sew them some really cute jackets that say, SUCK IT PETA. And I'm going to give them tiny little switchblades.

His outer half is bat.

PETA HATES ANIMALS THAT ARE CARTOONLY ABLED.

Yeah jujubees. That will do it. Angry Ferrets for PETA!

I was thinking: let Peta members get attacted by some raccoons and then we'll see how big they are.

I almost got attacted by two HUGE raccoons. They don't play.

I thought I was dealing with one, and the other one was trying to sneak attack me from behind.

They just tear up the cats. One of my cats got her whole back side area TORE UP. It took MONTHS to heal her.

stupid fucking tree hunging togu farting faggots. im gonna go kill all the animals i want. quit being fuckin pussys

I feel the need to sing "Maxwell's Silver Hammer!"

I don't think it would be in good taste for me to sing on multiple threads. I'll go ahead and calm down.

Somebody, get me some chamomile tea. Stat.

Well. I guess it should have been "Batwoman" dressed in skin tight pleather, knelt down on all fours, with much silicone enhanced cleavage bulging out everywhere, while being "dominated" by the pack. PETA would have been perfectly OK with that scenario; since it would only demean the "human female," and not any other specific species or gender in the animal kingdom.

… he doesnt beat the dogs. he just takes em out. and how the fuck would batman know ahead of time the fucker had dogs. i know he saw them on the sonar n shit. he even tried to proof his suit from dogbites. and it was in like 2 scenes… i dont see some black power group complaining about joker's pencil magic trick… and im sure if those nice big dogs attacked you mr PETA, youd defend yourself. or would you try to fucking pet them and give them scooby snacks.

are the snacks fda approved and organic?

I think PETA should know about this game over at Chuck E Cheese Restaurant.

It's called Whack-a-Mole.

All these moles pop up at different times and you try to wack them on the head with a mallot. (provided)If you wack the mole's head before it goes back into the hole, you win points.

Well. It's not as easy as it sounds. Do you know I must have sunk about 15 dollars worth of quarters into this damn game before the pizza came?

Yes, PETA, What about Whack-a-Mole?

I think PETA are to be applaude for trying to protect animals by stopping them being unecessarily & cruelly exploited.
If any of you lovely ladies & gorgeous girls really want to help a dumb animal then may I suggest you send me a shot of your panties to percystilton@googlemail.com.
Keep it clean, cotton crotch is my favorite flavour. JuJubees can send me her shot of her crotch clad in her oldmans Y-fronts cos I know she hates panties. you can be assured i am doing this to help raise my awareness. please give generously

Percy you perv,I am a lifelong member of PETA so I have sent you a nice clean pic of me nicks to help raise your awareness but I think you have posted the wrong address cos the pics have been returned. I think I should have included a dot, is your e-mail percy.stilton@googlemail.com?

So…when I saw the movie, I did the same thing. "Did Batman just throw a puppy?", I cried. Cue obligatory eye roll from the boyfriend.

But seriously, of course the animals weren't harmed, and of course it was in self defense in the scenes, but my question remains, Why? It was not at all relevant to the plot (Why are there randomly dogs in the parking garage at the beginning, and then only come back with the Joker in the building at the very end? Oh right, spoiler alert). If it had been relevant to the plot–say, The Joker has a dog fighting ring that actually springs up in the storyline–Batman can throw all the dogs he wants into walls. But it was just so unnecessary. WTF Bale.

Hold the phone…PETA has a list of Top 10 Animal Friendly Superheroes? Too much time on their hands perhaps?

i am a vegetarian and all for animal rights but i DONT SUPPORT PETA for exactly shit like this. They are all out of their f-ing minds and act like nazis. They're the reason people think all vegetarians/vegans are militant psychos who put thmeselves on a pedastal which is NOT true for all of us.

Has PETA looked into Bart and Lisa Simpson? They are big fans of Itchy and Scratchy who do unthinkable things to cats and mice.

What about He-Man? He rides around on a giant tiger! Forcing it into slave labor.

That was actually one of my first thoughts after the movie, I feel sorry for those poor dogs! It's not like they're saying HE is a bad person, and they're right to be upset it very justifiable in my opinion!

This is rich coming from an organization that has killed more animals that it's helped. Whose founder is on record as saying all pit bulls should be exterminated. Public records tell us that PETA has killed more than 5 animals EVERY DAY since July 1998.

People need to be aware of what it is they really do and stop supporting them. Donate to your local Humane Society, shelter or rescue. The money will be put to far better use.

Chelsea: mm have you ever heard about digital effect technology? I am sure at the end of movie there's a line with "no animals were harmed during the making of these movie"
I dont think the movie maker would sacrificed some great dogs only for some dark scenes like that, so I believe that it wasnt real.
thats it..the lines shows that PETA is simply unaware of how dumb they sound.

Yes, PeTA is so concerned about dogs they actively support the extinction of the domestic dog. F'ing retards. GOD I HATE PETA.

these comments are HILARIOUS! I'm so glad so many of you recognize how dumb PETA are. I love animals and am for animal rights, but cannot get behind these extremist fools. Everything they say and do is stupid and it makes all animal lovers look like jackasses. They are such a disgrace to the cause. How do naked celebrities educated you on animal rights? hellooo, it just gives you something to jack off to after you eat your KFC. And for the record, a number of the animals that are being mistreated in their expose videos are being mistreated by their own camerapeople to get the footage they want (this info from a friend that worked for a circus and watched as PETA threw shit at the elephants to get them riled up).
And Trevorsmom is dead on, there are far better places to donate your money. I for one love the North Shore Animal League (nsalamerica.org)
that's my $.02!

Wow! What did PETA have to say about "Wanted"? *Spoiler Alert* How many rats did he blow up to get at the bad guys? Or do rats not count?

Suck it PETA. Suck it long and suck it hard.

JuJu, I hope you are planning to teach those ferrets some dance moves from West Side Story. At the vary least, teach them to snap their fingers and walk in formation.

The Ferrets are in gear
Our cylinders are clickin'
PETA'll steer clear
'Cause every PETA's
A lousy chicken!
Here come the Ferrets like a bat outta hell
Someone gets in our way, someone don't feel so well!
Here come the Ferrets!
(jazz paws)

Lol, Marishka. I thought the same thing when I was watching Wanted. Funny that we didn't hear about them having a hissy fit over that.

This cracks me up. I thought the same thing when I watched Wanted and must admit I probably will not be happy to see puppies being thrown about, but if it was in self-defense…

PETA NEEDS TO DISBAN AND GO FUCK SOME GOATS. SEXUALLY OPPRESSED FREAKS… GOD I HATE THEM

What about juggling puppies. Is that ok so long as I don't throw them after? I'm sure they really throw puppies in movies. Please, they pretend kill people in movies and have pretend sex. No puppies are being chucked around. ACTING!!!!!!

jazz paws!

i prefer spirit paws, myself.

what about pencil rights? i think every pencil has a god given right not to be thrust into somebody's eyesocket.

Keebler:

We regret to inform you that we will not be sucking it, as we avoid all meat products.

Please allow 6-8 weeks for a nonsensical revenge plot to be carried out against you.

AND THIS IS WHY I STOPPED BEING A VEGETARIAN PETA IS A CRAZY ORG.

Wait… PETA has an Animal Friendly Superhero List? OMFG… Animals are better off without these dumb bitches "looking after" them.

Where was PETA when Resident Evil was released? What about us zombie dogs? Does no one care about us? Don't the producers of RE know about zombie dog treats? Zombie dogs are completely misunderstood.

Screw PETA and their zombiedogphobia.

Yeah and where was PETA when a dog gets shot in "No Country For Old Men"? PETA are idiots who only target movies and celebrities because they want publicity, they're pathetic.

O my fucking god! PETA needs to get the fuck over themselves already and shut the fuck up! It's a goddamn movie, the odds of those dogs actually being harmed during the making of the film is are slim to none so I don't see the problem with that movie, which by the way was FUCKING AMAZING. So let me ask a question to the PETA freaks out there… If I was walking down the street and some giant rottweilers came after me, do I just let them tear me to pieces or do I fight back, even if that means hitting them with some heavy objects? I by no means are for the unethical treatment of animals, but a) this is a movie. A MOVIE. Not real. and b) it was acted out in self defense. YOU PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT FIND ANYTHING AND ANYONE TO BITCH ABOUT. GET A FUCKING LIFE. Just because they are bitching about this nonsense I'm going to go and see that movie again for a 3rd time, maybe even a 4th just to bring its box office numbers even higher. Seriously PETA, fuck you. You're not changing the world, you're just annoying and pissing everyone off. Celebrities will still wear fur and leather, car companies will still have leather interior, and you of course will always be bitching. Nobody gives a rats ass about you. I agree with what you guys believe in as far as animal cruelty goes, but you can't change everyone or the world. You're more annoying than anything. So shut the fuck up for once. Please. This was just a little too far- IT'S A MOVIE. A FRIGGIN MOVIE. GET THE FUCK OVER IT. IT'S HOLLYWOOD, and IT'S FAKE. Cry a fucking river and drown in it.

Oh yea, I WAS a vegetarian for 7 years. Than I ate bacon. It was delicious. And even when I was a vegetarian, PETA still pissed me off. See PETA? Even YOU piss off vegetarians…

Bring it on Sar. I've barricaded my doors and windows with kittens. Say hello to the bad guy!

Zombie dog, I feel for ya. (thumps fist to chest)

Ok I see where your going PETA and a small part of me see what you are saying… Even if it is in a movie and in no GOD DAMN way reflects real life. But what about the mob and the joker. They got the Dogs they trained them to hate men in black. The bad guys raised these animals and made them mean so are you going to over look that? Why? Yes Batman kicked a few dogs but if i recall he was trying to save a few people too. The same people that probably have dogs and pets at home and if they had died who would have feed them? So those dogs could have ended up on the street doing whatever they needed to do to survive in a harsh Gotham. Maybe that is how the joker got those dogs… We may never know because in the MOVIE Batman the comic book hero killed 1 or 2.

Stop it… Just Stop it . 1) he didn't really hit the dog 2) it was mauling him

Id love peta to tell a little boy that was attacked by a dog that he was wrong.

Doesnt PETA stand for People Eating Tasty Animals?
Hmmm me thinks the looney brigade have reached new ways to ponder their retardeness

snarla, that was great! "gives you something to jack off to after you eat your KFC.."

:-)

I still haven't been able to eat tuna salad since I saw that picture of Pam Anderson in that lettuce bikini. I say that on every PETA post.
I am trying to heal.

What about Elmer Fudd, PETA? I really think that we should scrutinize Elmer and Yosemite Sam.

I have been doing RESEARCH this morning. It just LOOKED like I was watching cartoons. I was working, you see, not lazing around.

Mmmmm, tasty animals. I just had one breaded with mozarella on spagetti with sauce.

Does PETA only care about "cute" animals. It seems a little ridiculous that they are reduced to complaining about FAKE violence against animals. Isn't there REAL violence against animals? Actually, aren't there people STARVING in the world? Priorities, just saying.

People Eating Tasty Animals, there are so many tasty ones.

i love this discussion, oh how ridiculous PETA is. i wonder what the author of that letter would do when a pitbull attacked her. i don't know about her but i would kick that f-er till it left me alone, and i love dogs.

your all f***ing stupid Manbat is the one who is half bat. batman simply saw a bat and took that as a sign to use that to bring justice in that form after his parents died.

I actually watched all the credits to The Dark Knight and at the end, it said "No animals were harmed in the making of this film" and it was authorized by some company or another. Obviously the journalist didn't bother to mention that. But instead "peanut-butter snacks?!?" wtf is that?

They were relevant to the film because they were watch dogs. You know, like the guy said. And Joker wouldn't have known Batman was around if it hadn't been for the dogs warning him. And he didn't kick a "puppy," it was a full-grown rottweiler. You know, with sharp teeth and a powerful bite.

On topic, PETA sucks. This is actually the 2nd PETA-related topic I've gotten today, but the other one is even more sick and shows that they seem to hate people who work for them!

http://www.cynical-c.com/?p=10706

Maybe the scene should have had batman beat up bunnies instead

LOL@Peta

I would intensely enjoy seeing the Batman deflect giant angry dogs with peanut butter treats. He could shoot them out of his little blade dispenser.

Could they be batshaped? XD

Uhm.. first of all… it's a movie. It's made up. Not real. The animals weren't really harmed.

And PETA is also that group who spends millions of dollars a year to have people abuse animals just so they can take video of it.

Honestly, if anything, people should be trying to shut down PETA, not a fictitious super hero.

Even if it's a fake movie, it's the thought that Batman hurts animals.

But I could seriously laugh at that.

Deflecting Devices = fists

yea but both the dogs run away unharmed in the movie and they should b more angry at the fact that a criminal trained probably by beating the dogs and puts them in harm's way.

@queencrone

batman isn't half-man half-bat. he uses the bats that he was afraid of as a child as an icon to culture the fear in his enemies.

could someone please tell PETA that there is an actual issue of batman where he takes a bullet for a cat?

i don't see any peta hippies taking bullets for stray cats.

I like Vegetarians. They taste yummy.

42 and 43, combo commie.

i'm cracking up.

I don't care about what appears to be happening on the screen, as long as animals were not hurt in real life just to make a movie:
http://www.americanhumane.org/.....me=pa_film

How utterly nonsensical. I'm going to be kicking a dog just for PETA. Wait, I like dogs. I'll settle for kicking a member of PETA.

"Wow. Utterly insignificant," I thought, as I signaled to the waiter to bring me my steak and eggs. For I was a happy omnivore, the way God and natural selection made me, and I didn't hold with that vegan bullshit. "Garcon," I called out as the waiter approached, "you cats got any lobster?"

"Yes sir," he replied. "The freshest live Maine lobster."

"Excellent. Bring me one with my steak. I'm having surf and turf for brekkies. And you know what else," I added, my erection swelling at the very thought, "boil it live right here at the table. I wanna hear that bitch whistle before I chow down."

That's right. For every news story I read about PETA's insignificant fascism, I'm going to commit a completely legal act of animal cruelty. My diet will consist of veal, live octopus, and kittens. I urge everyone else to do the same.

During "I Am Legend" I cried when the doggy died. Then I thought "What the f— is wrong with me?? 6 billion people died in Act One and I didn't even BLINK!"

But they weren't fluffy, so stuff 'em.

FUCK PETA! LIL BITCHES!

IT IS JUST A MOVIE.

let it go.

check this..

Batman emulates what? That's right children, a Bat. So if you REALLY think about it, it wasn't a man verse the dogs, it was a Bat vs the Dogs. Animal on animal crime, NOT human on animal crimes.

There. it's settled. STFU PETA

It's kind of funny. You never hear about PETA members throwing red paint on the Hell's Angels and they wear black leather all the time. They spend all their time throwing paint on rich old ladies in fur unable to defend themselves. It backfires, too: guess what, PETA? They just buy a new fur coat!

"your all f***ing stupid Manbat is the one who is half bat. "

This is the funniest line I have read all day, without a doubt.

You know what's funny? the lady in charge of PETA has been seen eating meat and wearing leather & fur, then she says whats important is the "message", not what she's doing…lmfao

Never mind the fact that it's complete fiction, but PETA even omits the fact that Mr. Bale is an outspoken vegetarian and animal rights activist. I have no problem with his stance,and may agree with him on a few points, but I digress. PETA is just pure unadulterated hypocrisy and blind rage that they can't even see beyond black and white. I bet you if there was a 50 car pileup that maimed or killed many, they'd protest that the poor skunk that ran across the road was a victim of vehicular homicide and hit and run.

PETA can suck it.
Anyone who has been a victim of a dog attack will tell you that going, "Shoo puppy, go home!" will do no good.

Well Why not go after the Resident Evil Franchise as well? I mean come on Zombie Doberman (dogs)That got shot and then Blown up by a Gas Range and lets not forget about those poor helpless little Crows that got Blasted with a Flame thrower! I mean they should
stop every idea of animals in movies!

Lest not Forget About The movie Snow Dogs, Poor little cute puppies frozen have to death so Disney can make another kid flick.

Stupid PETA Grow up, live things you don't understand to the real people.

It was actually pertinent to the plot though, the gangsters in the beginning of the movie trained those dogs to hunt Batman (in particular) and Joker took over that specific mob boss' mafia, dogs included. Ultimately, it was to show how much he was up against, and one could venture to say that those dogs were representative of the corrupt people out to stop Batman from saving the citizens of Gotham (think about it: loving dogs that fall from grace due to their environment to kill a righteous vigilante for their own vices, i.e.: meat).

And there were a few good points brought up, I mean, why is there nobody saying how disgusted they are that somebody TRAINED THESE DOGS, only that Batman harmed them? And furthermore, this has been said countless times; he was defending himself, he didn't really think when he was suiting up, 'Okay, grappling hook… check, batrangs… check, peanutbutter snossages… check.' Ultimately, he was trying to save an entire city (animals included). If gangsters and thugs had overtaken the city, (and I'm trying to reach to the astronomically ridiculous PETA members), all the ducklings and bunnies in the parks would have died too.

Furthermore, I think it's disgusting how Peta belittles the lives of numerous individuals in that movie. I mean, countless people are killed and beaten in that movie, people are tortured and the Joker murders a woman to psychologically maim a man… Where are the angry (and albeit ridiculous) blog posts about that? Way to jump the gun PETA!!! Douchenozzles…

PETA People Eating Tasty Americans…
Support Cannibalism in the US…

PETA CAN EAT ME!!!

yeah, so batman is supposed to just carry around dog treats in case he is attacked, like that would ACTUALLY work… you bet. PETA is the most ridiculous bunch of retards there is. It's one thing to want to stop mistreatment of animals but to get upset over a scene in a movie, come on! And it's not like it was dogfighting or someone abusing an animal that might glorify or encourage the behavior, it was complete self defense. Let someone release some dogs on whoever wrote that article and see whether or not they just so happen to have some treats in their pocket and how well that works out for them. When it doesn't work, see how long it takes for that jackass to resort to self defense.

Peta is just a bunch of vegetarian…global warming causeing pansies. what about all the vegetarian life that got hurt huh.. yeah sure cry about the animals getting hurt what about plants whos gonna be there advocate hurt a few methane producing animals …waaaahhhh trample a ton of oxygen producing carbon dioxide sucking plants and its ok. they dont feel it well the ozone layer does. we are all at the mercy of peta and there plant hating specieist attitude. thank you Carlos Mencia for your inspiration and support

What about all the people that get fake beat up and fake killed in movies? You don't see a public outcry to stop that because (drumroll please) It. Is. Pretend. Outside from discovery channel shows and peta's own commercials, no people or animals intentionally get hurt in the making of shows or movies.

And even if an accident happens and someone or an animal gets hurt, they are taken care of and extra care is taken in the next cut to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Peta are the biggest group of idiots that exist in the world today and do an excellent job at one thing. Proving that people like themselves are what makes our society degrade at such an amazing rate.

For Every Animal you don't eat… I'm going to eat three.

The dogs were put in to keep the movie entertaining, no-one wants to see batman do the same things over and over, and the dogs were simply just a new way for the criminals to have some sort of "edge" on batman.

Yah, the next time batman get attacked by murderous dogs, he'll reach in his utility belt for some dog biscuits smeared with peanut butter- real "dark knight" of him…

ok peta its rant time!!!
1) its a movie its fake
2) it was not condoning animal cruelty
3) the NAACP isnt bitching about a black guy getting killed for a magic trick (lol)
4) if u get mauled by a dog u fight back!! i know!! i was attacked by a rotweiller and i broke its jaw kicking it
5) bale is an animal rights activist, even though he doesnt support PETA (this is probably why)
6) if u guys have enough time to put out ballots for a top 10 most animal friendly superhero list u have enough time to save at least 60 dogs from being bataranged to death

(no animals were harmed in the making of this rant… except the rotweiller)

PETA really doesn't give an issue a whole lot of clout with me. Especially not after I found out that they:

1. Kill off more rescued animals than the public pounds.
2. Have higher ups who use insuline derived from animals to regulate their diabetes.
3. Have made payments ("donations") to the legal fund of radical animal rights movement members who blow up labs and set fires.

I'm willing to bet non of the dogs in the movie actually came to any harm.

I can relate with PETA, it is wrong to mistreat animals, but at the same time, they need to realize that humans are at the top of the food chain.I personally love all animals, but a dogs natural instinct is just like a cat…. to go for the neck… if a dog comes at me with teeth showing , its going down…sorry Fido. Can PETA answer this one question…. if attacked by any animal…… humans being animals , what is the first thing any animal would do……defend itself…If anyone says different , they are lying….remember….humans are animals to…. we react with instinct…..not compassion.

Back a few years ago a bunch of PETA jerks gathered to protest a episode of SURVIVOR over the part of dressing a rat to eat they even had one member wearing a stupid rat costume and carrying a sign reading RATS HAVE RIGHTS just how stupid is PETA i mean the one BATMAN movie involving the penguins where these PETA jerks were whinning about using the birds in a part when as some were robots and some were real HEY A CHICKEN IS MORE INTELLEGENT THEN THESE PETA DIPWADS
