Greenpeace International

An utterly cynical fundraising operation that has no more sincerity than a mobbed up loanshark. Their campaigns are designed around "saving" attractive animals, some of which aren't even threatened, while ignoring unattractive, unmarketable creatures that are genuinely at risk. They are also bullies, frequently targetting small communities or less sophisticated groups by bringing the full weight of their media savvy down on them. They are a bunch of cappacino sucking, concrete condo dwelling city slickers and a disgrace to the environmental movement.

I wonder if the Newfies are all done clubbing the baby seals this year?

They are standing up for what they believe in and they take a bad image for that. People are against but you have the Japanese killing thousands of whales for "scienific research." They're trying to make some good in this world and sometimes it takes extreme actions to get people that are ignorant to the fact of what is actually going on in the world to realize what distruction is happening.

The far-right hates Greenpeace because they can't stand anyone stealing their thunder by being as extreme as they are. Greenpeace may be hypocritical at times, but they have more guts than the money-grubbing, big-business worshipping, shortsighted, selfish little Republican robots will ever have on their best day. Go club a baby seal, cowards.

Well, that was a funtastic rant. They do some good things here and there, but their extremist image prevents many like myself from lending any kind of support to their cause. Still, I gave them three stars, which I'm sure will leave the ranters grasping at straws when they consider that I am a little Republican robot! P.S. I have never clubbed a baby seal.

Start offering solutions besides finding problems.

Radical, tree hugging, animal lover freaks. Really, if you love animals and nature so much, go live with them and leave the rest of us sane people alone to live in peace without your insitent whining. I do think that we should try to keep our air clean but when a farmer is fined $800,000 for building on a spot designated as a habitat for an endangered FLY, that's just going too far. That's a true story and it's a result of Greenpeace whining. Animals are for eating, not for saving. I mean really people.

Greenpeace International is a very radical organization and will never get a cent of my money. They go way beyond the boundries.

They may have a good cause but their so caught up in being fanatics that no one listens to them. And THAT'S why I like to drive my SUV right in front of their buildings.

One of the other comments here says that humans suck and animals rule. Thats the kind of comment that makes me shake my head in wonder. Humans ARE animals. When the tree huggers and whale humpers try to distance us from nature is when the earth gets screwed up. If you want to understand nature, live like nature. Be part of the predator/prey cycle, grow your own food, be a hunter/gatherer like ALL OTHER ANIMALS. These guys are whack jobs just like PETA.

This is the thing... I do think we we should have clean air. I think Humans do need to take care of the environment as best we can. However, Greenpeace International is #2 on my list for annoying orgainizations list. (Only behind the ACLU) I think cities are more beutiful than a wetland. I think that animals are here for us to eat, the kind that is normal to eat anyway not like mice, that's gross, anyway I think sometimes paving a road over an animals habitat to cut a commute can help the environment (see the Legacy Highway debate that's going on in Utah right now), because cars won't pollute the air as much. So if all you tree huggers and whale humpers love trees and animals so much, you can go live with them, and then you can leave us alone! YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!

They're got the right general idea, i.e., that we have to be the stewards of the environment, that we have a responsibility to the earth that supports us and to furture generations who will inherit this world, that we owe something to nature, that animal species are to be valued, not written off as some lower forms of the Christian Order. However, this is a politically maladroit lot, whose misguided and idiotic support of emptysuit birdbath Ralph Nader in 2000 essentially handed that drooling turd from Texas a free pass to the Oval Office.

Fu<king Fanatics!

Not all but alot of there higher members are treelovin Osama Binladens'. Eco-terrorists they balance out the extreme right wing racist groups. If they went about there goals in a peacful, rational and don't block streets because a person might be trying to feed their kids by working at a factory. They make things more difficult for normal people or kill them when they put a nail in a tree and it flings out and kills a logger. Get a real job or go into politics, but stop being an enviormental NAZI

A leftwing organization more a kin to an out of control animal.A disgrace to the call this a charity organization.

nutcases

Why don't all you environmentalists go hug a tree.

Humans suck, animals rule. Is the law of the earth, just look at us. The fact that we need a Greepeace, to make it right for all the things we screwed up, just speaks for it selves. That´s about it, I guess. By the way, don´t you dare to rate this not helpful!

All these low ratings show me that humans, once again care more about their own scrawny (or fat) asses then about animals. They were here first, they didn't decide that humans would put them in cages, have them instinct, polute the planet with oil leaks, cars and air planes. They did not give humans the right to drug them, use them for 'our' own personal gain against deseases that would decrease the overpopulation of the world. Humans suck, animals rule. Give them back what's rightfully theirs... a clean enviorment. And that is where this organisation comes in. If they weren't out there making an effort, who would?

For a moment in High School (my uninformed, naive self) started receiving information on GreenPeace..Thought it was pretty cool, put the sticker on my notebook maybe even sent in money..can't remember. However, as I learned more about this group I learned it is led by extremists who really have more of an interest in politics than the environment. Instead of trying to educate and inform..they are clouding the truth and continue to rant about things they do not truly know about. I do feel strongly about the preservation of our environment..however we need to find a middle ground, Greenpeace distorts facts and simply lies. Choose your support of environmental causes carefully..start locally if you are passionate..don't simply jump on the Greenpeace bandwagon.

I am sorry if this upsets anyone, but I believe that if it weren't for some pharmaceutical companies testing thier drugs on animals, several lives would be lost. I don't see anyone else volunteering thier bodies for these experiments. I think that going on to someones property and banging pots to chase away the wildlife is disgraceful. I feel that that is trespassing also. You should be ashamed of yourselves for doing it. Have you ever had your family in your car, going 65mph down the highway and hit a deer? Hmmmmm.. it is not a pleasent scene. I will tell you that I have done it.. twice! In the state of Kansas, the deer hunter w/ a bow has about a month to hunt deer. The hunter w/ a rifle has 2 wks. That is it. I think it should be a two month deal. Why? Well, the deer are sooooo over populated here and there are more people that have deer accidents then any other accident in the state of Kansas. And now they are allowing rehibilitated Elk (which are twice the size of white tail deer... Read more

It's a tribute to their marketing prowess that this group still commands respect from so many. The bankrupt morals of the group were recently exposed when they refused to criticize the acts of terrorism (oh yeah, they call it "eco-terrorism") done on behalf of "Earth Liberation Front". It was also remarkable that their original founder accused the group under its current leadership of being intellectually dishonest in making their claims about disappearing rain forest. The truth is that the lefties who hate capitalism and America had the rug pulled out from under them when communism collapsed so now they hide under the environmentalist cloak. This is why there's never a rational discusion of the science of global warming; it must be taken on FAITH that this is a crisis that demands the end of free markets, etc. It's a shame that the well-meaning people who support Greenpeace do not take the time to learn about free-market environmentalism, which explores ways of being good stewards...
