Prohosters/Ted Hickman case response from PETA.
 

Thank you for contacting Peta regarding alleged animal abuse by Ted Hickman, CEO of Prohosters. We have been in contact with Loudoun County Animal Control, and they are actively pursuing cruelty charges with the Commonwealth Attorney for what appears to be a violation of Virginia?s anti-cruelty statutes.

Thank you for your compassion for the animals.

sweet :glugglug

hahahaha nice

lol shit this is crazy...nice to see how much power a forum has...

ugh, PETA. i wish you guys didn't drag PETA into this. they are insane media whores. attention only makes them worse. :(

Does that make you feel like a hero?

Nice Job :thumbsup

I guess this should make Ted "re-think" is below comment then:

"4. If you want to insult me and say things about me being an animal abuser, I can take it. I did not abuse my cat nor do I care about your opinion. You may call any agency or whatever you deem neccessary and they will all say the same thing."

'Cause it looks like they're not all saying the same thing. lol

*edited for typo*

Yes.

Atleast least give the cat to someone who isn't going to throw it across the fucking room. Takes a sick person to do that but a even sicker person to tape it. I hope this fat albino get's whats coming :321GFY

I wonder if they spin it...
He abuses cats or whatever...
because he degrads women by hosting such and such sites and blah blah blah

I don't like abusing animals not cool at all...
but PETA are....yeah...

Narcs used to be outcasts...now they're heroes....welcome to 2003.

:(

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Excellent! :thumbsup Cat's everywhere meow for you! Hehe :)

Excellent.

Bringing an extreme special interest group into the porn industry.

Whoopee.

Now, since we're reporting video clips to agencies, I wonder what else I can dig up around here...

PETA would view not petting your cat enough as animal cruelty. That's the same as sending Jesse Jackson a letter saying you weren't hired because you are black, despite the fact that you have a 6th grade education. It will always get the response you're looking for.

Not that I am condoning his actions, just saying PETA will ALWAYS tell you what you want to hear in these cases.

I can't stand peta...

Ted is not having a good week:1orglaugh

WTG :thumbsup I'm glad you got a response and hope it goes further.

I've been a vegetarian for the past 15 years, and I've been involved in the animal rights movement.

Bringing PETA in to stir things around in a politically endangered industry is contemptuous of both what PETA tries to do, and of porn, the hand that feeds you. One of the few political angles porn has going for it is that sex is itself violence neutral, perhaps even violence inhibiting.

I mean sure, it's funny. But it's not a funny enough prank to be worth it.

One of the more detestable things about people who are self-righteous is that they're generally cowards of convenience and proximity- they never actually do anything difficult or go very far out of their way to create justice. They are more likely to spend enormous repetitive energy berating their spouse to vote a certain way than they are to speak in front of a crowd of 100 receptive people who've never heard the issues.

RAT

Hahaha, is this for real? I love it.

hahahaha excellent.

This post doesn't make a lot of sense. PETA claims to stand up for the rights of animals. "Ethical treatment" is built right into their name. Clearly, most of us don't consider flipping a cat in the air and allowing to land on its head to be "ethical" treatment. How is alerting PETA and allowing them to take action contemptuous of PETA or our industry? What, in order to keep out of the spotlight we should just lay low and keep our mouths shut? If we knew of a webmaster who was abusing his child, we would report him, as well. In the very next paragraph, you have the nerve to rail against "cowards" and yet in the first paragraph, you seem to be telling us to keep quiet and not draw attention to ourselves. When it comes down to it, what harm have we done PETA and what harm can they do us? Do you really think PETA has the time, energy or funding to shut down the entire adult internet industry because one fat punk hurt his cat?

As to porn's political angle, I don't see what you seem to see. I haven't noticed porn going for a "violence neutral" stance. Many of the major paysites revolve around "tricking" women into having sex or fucking them extra hard, choking them on cum, blah, blah, blah. I don't see see this new-age kinder gentler porn attitude you are talking about. The only political angle I see in the porn industry is "it's none of your business what I look at."

Cool that he may get shit for that, but too bad you had to go through PETA. I was close to shit kicking one of those skinny little cocksucker vegitarians when he told my kid and his classmates not to drink milk. If I could have gotten one of them away from the view of the kids, I would've dropped him for sure.

fluffy tastes like chicken

i'm sorry but flinging your cat around in the air and letting it land on its head is abuse. guy's an idiot.

when i was a kid, no matter how bad whatever me or my brother did was, the one that tattled always got in the most shit for being a fucking RAT.

so we should sit back and let this moron fling cats around in the air? fuck that, i'm glad someone reported him.

i'm not saying it's right, i'm not saying the guys not a uber-dork (he definately appears to be), but i am saying, a rat is a rat

I Like Cats.

But Peta Was The Wrong Way To Go. I Could Call Peta And Tell Them My Neighbor Doesn't Put Boots On His Dog To Let Him Out To Piss In The Rain And They Would Look Into It.

It's Good They Called The Local Authorities But I Doubt Anything Is Done.

And I Agree With XRoach, Growing Up The Rat Always Got More Shit, Lol.

I don't want to side with Prohosters guy and I don't want you tree hugging hippies to jump on me for this... The cat flinger has no sense of decency in him, but couldn't his defense be...

"I was testing if cats really did have nine lives?"

or as the old adage goes,

"a cat always lands on his feet"

i think a better solution would be to grab that fool by his ankles and flip him upside down and see how he likes it.. eye for an eye and all that

There goes spam trader again with his caps lock first letters :1orglaugh

Not sure which is more ridiculous, that it went this far or that people have convinced themselves something positive will come of this.

thats just stupid child shit. if no one reported things like this, there would be more idiots abusing animals.

do you think the animal is gonna pick up the phone and call?

Holy God, stocktrader - are you trying to create the world's biggest acronym?

there are bigger fish to fry.

this isn't really an issue of animal cruelty, it's an issue of lashing out at an idiot. of course he set himself up, but i doubt anyone would be calling peta if he was a respected member of this community.

you guys remind me of the guys trying to burn the witch in Monty Pythons Holy Grail.

'but she looks like one!'

bonsaikitten is fake.

hahaha

nice lol

that's good news

No it's not and neither is the easter bunny :p

'she turned me into a newt!'
'a newt?'
'well.. i got better..'

The empty booth here in Las Vegas is the interesting effect of the threads on GFY. The fact they did not show up is most amazing and probably smart.

Isn't PETA the organization that encourages their members to assault people wearing fur coats with red paint, commit arson, vandalism, dump manure in public streets, throw urine at people, trespass, steal, etc.

I shit on PETA and their hypocrisy.

It's one of those radical organizations. You know... like those radical religious groups that everyone hates.

Hate them until you can use them, ahaha.

its all good, just dont send PETA to my door for eating pussies

If there is one thing I hate worse than a cat tosser, it's a snitch.
