Ozzy Man Reviews: PETA vs STEVE IRWIN

[@shawnyfin]

As far as I understand, Steve-o Irwin brought awareness of animal life. He became a national treasure. We loved him - we still love him. I actually have an action figure of him (Night Rescue) still in the package. PETA's angle has always been to segregate us from wildlife or hypocritically send the message of animals being victims - Irwin saved many animals. So fuck PETA.. Steve's heart was always in the right place and I will always respect him and his work. "Have a look at this little beauty!!" 💛🐍🐊🐢🇦🇺

[@SenderBudYerGood]

Yeah fuck PETA they're DANGER DANGER DANGER!!!!!!! lol

To go after a DEAD man who dedicated his life to animals and people learning about animals is all kinds of low. Irwin was a god damn Legend. People learned more about animals from him than anyone else...and it looks like his son might be willing to be as crazy as he was lol. I love it. He's also the spitting image of his father holy crap. Sooo in a weird way its like Steve never left us. :,)

[@DanBennettUltra]

Official statistics released by Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) through freedom of information requests, PETA's shelter killed 94.8% of all animals they took in from 2007 to 2011 - a total of over 10,300 animals. According to the article I read PETA employees kill 84% of animals in their custody within 24 hours, clearly making no effort whatsoever to find any solution but the slaughter of mostly healthy pets. PETA are evil hypocrites.

[@shawnyfin]

I learned more about respecting animals from Steve-o than I did PETA, the wanks!

[@MJRSA9404]

@Sandcastle • PETA member spotted

[@DanBennettUltra]

@Sandcastle • oh yeah, I'm not a fucking idiot, I know that all shelters put down healthy animals. But apparently no other shelter in Virginia had a rate above 70% during the same time period. They compared 9 other shelters in Virginia to PETA's: only 2 of them had a rate above 50%. A newer article mentions PETA's 2014 rate is 81% and references that "In some prior years, that rate has risen above 90 percent." Seriously, it's not hard to find this stuff online, so don't just accuse me of bullshit because you don't like what I'm saying.

I once watched Steve Irwin crying over a small lizard he found on the side of the road while traveling to do his show. The lizard was burned in a brush fire and was dying. It is still one of the most powerful things iv ever saw on television. Anyone that says Steve Irwin did not completely love and respect ALL animals, be it in the wild or in captivity has no idea what they are talking about. RIP Steve, we miss you.

PETA really doesn’t know wtf it’s talking about. Steve Irwin did handle animals a lot, but the benefits of making people care are so great, it’s a negligible sacrifice in comparison.

@Nick Fletcher. i'm no wildlife expert, but there are critically endangered animals that if not for the efforts of wildlife preserves would've been hunted to extinction by poachers years ago, the northern white rhino being the most well known of these. although with the last male northern white rhino passing away last year, the species will go extinct once the last 2 remaining females pass away

He inspired many modern zoologists and environmentalists to work with animals as kids. He had many captive breeding programs which helped save species all over the world. What did PETA do: 1. Steal kids pet bunnies to kill because "they would rather be dead than in a household" 2. Freeze and kills hundreds or even thousands of dogs and cats and try to cover it up. 3.

They don't. I talked to a board member once when we were both at a conference. Everyone was at the pre-conference mixer and he commented on my leather pants so of course I sat right next to him and challenged him on PETA killing 90+% of the animals in his shelter. He bet me $5000 to the charity of my choice that I could not prove it with a mainstream source. We then got to talking about PETA's stunts. They are under the mistaken impression that there's no such thing as bad press. They do the stunts to fundraise and access hollywood and DC. I told him that every single one of my friends want absolutely nothing to do with PETA because it's such a fake org. When I got home, I emailed the article from the local paper that blew the cover off their slaughterhouse. He admitted that I proved it. No, the charity of my choice did NOT get that $5000.

Like you said I don't think we should discount the benefits of getting people interested in conservation even if it means that some animals will be exploited to accomplish this.

Gilles DesRosiers PETA and nearly everyone else today (on a lesser degree) confuse humans with animals. There is no harrasing or "exploiting" animals in a somehow similar sense as with people. Not at all. Whatever complex behaviour we evolved to socialize and put our emotions into, these social mechanisms are for people and we're not even sure how to handle that properly. Animals get eaten alive and are played with for fun by other animals They have no consciousness for the most part and there's nothing evil about animals killing another animal, that's nature - It's killed and be killed out there and we come with our "harrassing" and "Exploiting" when someone's holding an animal for EDUCATION. Everyone's a victim, even a fucking snake - yeah, stop celebrating the guy that has the balls to jump on a FUCKING CROCODILE, focus on the poor exploited and harrassed crocodile.

I'm in VA (the state they're based in) and I've dealt with them first hand.

While I find you undoubtedly one of the funniest and most entertaining people on all of KZbin, this segment is another big reason I am an avid fan, Ozzy Man. Your level-headed, nuanced approach to various subjects is in short supply these days and it is incredibly refreshing and impressive. PETA is a prime example of initial good intentions and activism that shits in its own bed. Their early work against laboratory animal testing, crafting the Animal Welfare Act, bringing awareness and positive change to the abuse of animals in film, etc. was excellent and commendable. But then, for whatever reasons, they began devolving into a fanatical organization that lost all sense and perspective. Keep up the great work, you lovely bastard; really looking forward to seeing you and Mozza returning on Catch Up.

Do you know why? its because fights dissapear with time and someone who has a "cause" will look for it, thats why feminism once was about womens rights and is todoy about just pandering to women and shitty feelings, while tottaly ignoring the other gender.

[@zain4019]

Bluberry Feminism is very relevant today, if more nuanced than before. Not to say that everything that is promoted is right, but to say that societal prejudice doesn’t exist is false. That’s what feminism is about now- the deeper and more intricate workings of society, the messages children are given and the things they are taught about themselves, their bodies and their possibilities. As a guy, I can very much see why feminism is important.

[@Danovio]

Feminism is not relevant today, you dont have to be a feminist to belive in equality or human rights. Feminists ignore the male gender, infact they keep speaking of males as if they are potential rapeists just for being males. Great way of makeing little male children grow up hateing themselves. Strange how femnists are all up in arms when a man kills his wife, but when a woman kills her three children and herself, SILENCE!! Strange how they want equality but they dont want to be accountable as men. Ohh so a man raped a 14 year old with his wife, he gets 6 years but she gets 1 year, where were the outrage then? No fuck todays feminism, these feminists talk about how men do this and that, yet they dont have the balls to protest in areas that are being controlled by islamic beliefs.

I believe you do as well, but you’re conflating feminism with a more radical ideology. Isolated incidents are not indicators of the general view of society- extreme things from all groups take place from all sides of the political spectrum. We all deserve love. All of us.

PETA needs to get fucked. The double chinned flabby cunts need to remember what Steve Irwin said about people being more interested in and curious about the animal world when you get them excited about and emotionally invested in them. Cause obviously rn very few if any people give actual fucks about animals these days. Most people are paying attention to Kim Jong Un or Trump or other political things while we loose over a few thousand species of multicellular organisms every day. Every marine and tropical species we lose is another medical breakthrough forever removed from our grasp. It’s also another imbalance added to the food chains of the world. All because after Steve Irwin died it became harder to do what Steve Irwin wanted which was to get people interested and curious and emotionally invested in the animals that we share the earth with. Fucking PETA forgot about that. They totally forgot about that. Steve Irwin was a huge friend for animals and through Irwin there was a lot of potential cause people listened and paid attention and enjoyed watching on TV around the world and learning. Now that he’s dead, not so much, yet here’s PETA actually deciding to make an enemy of Steve Irwin’s Legacy. Get fucked PETA cause PETA’s being a Backstabber.

Speaking as calmly and as non-hostilely as possible: Even *IF* we accept the idea that having animals as entertainers is wrong, let us also keep in mind what the Irwins were doing. They were showing off these animals to bring attention to the plights of their species. The closest human equivalent would be going off to an endangered part of the rainforest where there's a tribal culture and performing a documentary with them and interacting with them. Yes, it may be wrong to interfere with these people's daily lives, but it's a minor annoyance as compared to the danger bearing down on them. What they did was raise money to ensure that more animals in the wild can stay in the wild. So, their goal and achievements (lest we forget that the Irwins are actually successful) are in parallel with the requests that PETA *claims* to support. The Irwins are financially successful, yes, but they used that wealth to expand their zoo and related conservation efforts, not roll around in a Rolls Royce like a bond villain. Now, speaking less calmly: Fuck. You. PETA.

[@pommiebears]

Eric Ellis I agree, and I absolutely love Robert. Mind you, he is the spitting image of Steve.....and my 22 year old son, funnily enough. Lol. He really looks like him. 😂

[@IlCapocuocoDiMetallo]

I just discovered this particular video and I have to say I'm genuinely impressed. This IS in fact a carefully considered and well considered response to an emotive and inflammatory tweet. well said, and I totally agree

[@Jr-qo4ls]

Agreed. Ozzy'scomments could serve an example for most folks these days on how to politely disagree with someone of a differing opinion.

[@merfishsandwich691]

Steve Irwin is a world treasure. I still get bleary eyes when I think about the world without him. I'm thankful we have a decade of television and film to remember him and his work. RIP Stevo.

It is harrasment to criticize someone who’s dead therefore cannot be there to defend themselves. How can you study something with just obeserving it? Change my mind. Weather and things untouchable not included.

[@ozzymanreviews]

I am Benzen hearting this coz it’s a solid discussion point. I’ll bloody ruminate.

I study my neighbour when she is in the shower, i learned the last time that touching was not a good observation technique and may result in legal difficulties.

[@dan7564]

You're right, we should stop criticising Hitler, he's not alive to defend himself xD But seriously, fuck peta.

[@MacTac141]

Alucard Literally what I thought😂 but ya fuck PETA

[@jacksonsanchez4941]

Hitler is dead but we still fuckin criticize him lol (this is a joke I’m not being serious lol)

[@KnightKD]

This is why no one takes PETA seriously

[@oapeleftherotisaftistisepo9540]

That and the 99.6 percent kill rate for all the animals they rescue.

[@richardkim2711]

I'll take peta seriously. Not as a good organization, no far from that lol. I'll take them seriously as in that i take them as a threat who'd probably be the biggest threat towards animal extinction next to poachers

[@Mrtfarrugia]

PETA is just mad people like Steve better.

[@410colepyro3]

Steve Erwin was a wonderful man who wanted to connect people with the wildlife outside, hes saved countless animals. He is a wonderful man that would never be forgotten

[@spudpud-T67]

What about all the oxygen that peta consume when it would be better used by endangered animals.

[@Loco11b]

Lmao! ☝ 100%

[@BigStickyNugs]

hah!

[@rosswithers2003]

BRILLIANT!

[@ashleyscoble9023]

Fucking good point 😂

[@5H4D0W-TP]

*Checkmate PETA!*

[@uttanutta2318]

Steve Irwin well known for being a... *Legend and Champion of Animals. PETA well known for being???? *Wanka's and Tosspots.

[@sasbetasquadron873]

Ooh... you forgot that one where they make their cats and dogs be vegetarian...

[@yojoelay]

Anyone who has ever been to Australia Zoo would have dismissed PETA's criticisms outright after only a few steps inside the gate.

[@Unbreakable64]

Steveo was the coolest guy on animal planet! I was a kid when he passed away, and was one of the worst days of my childhood. I wished that they would have made a National Steve Irwin day forever ago, still wish they would, he was nothing less than a hero and inspiration to everyone who wanted to go after their dreams!
