What would we do without PETA?

PETA = Pretty women Eating Tasty Animals

[mnehring]

To me, being a vegetarian means saying yes to things, like eating meat.

In related news, Sarah splashed some blood on a new bearskin rug she collected in Alaska, (but promptly wiped it off her forehead and finished gutting the grizzly anyway.)

why can't PETA see the glass as half-full? i mean, those models obviously don't eat anything besides lettuce and cigarettes. so PETA should be happy about that.

so they wear fur coats. big deal. i wonder if those PETA freaks wear anything leather...

I just need two more coyote pelts for my wife to make my coat. Had deer steak last night, and deer bow season just opened, and I have a buck and doe tag for deer gun season. I’m also spotting moose for my neighbor. Last weekend I sanded & prepped my muskrat and badger traps. I love it when the weather turns colder and the killing season begins. PETA no longer solicits donations from me, go figure.

I’ve always wanted to see Peta throw paint on a biker in leather but they never have done it. *sigh*

Fur is Murder
Abortion is a Choice

[Salamander]

Yo, peta!

Over here!

Lotsa meat-eating and animal skins going on over here!

Protest! Protest!

{{{{crickets}}}}

Huh.

Thought so.

[PrairieRoot]

Upon reflection, we could be taking this protest wrong. Since PETA is protesting the runway action it may not be animal fur they’re protesting, I mean...well...uh those skirts the models wear are pretty short.

[Smokin' Joe]

Dump fur? Man, that can conjur up a nasty image or two...cling-ons and all that...

[doodad]

Funny observation I made once and told my wife who exclaimed, “you’re right.”

When shopping at whole foods (paycheck), the sullen hippie girls all work in vege or misc section. The happy and friendly girls are all in charcuterie and cheese.

I was at a hot sauce convention in Fort Worth yesterday. I saw a young couple and the girl was wearing a T-shirt that read “MEAT IS MURDER.” I was about to be disgusted when I then read the subtext which said “tasty, tasty murder.” I cracked up and then told her I liked her shirt. She later entered the jalapeno eating contest.

[Southack]

PETA gets sent to any fashion show where the models look like women instead of starved young boys.

Go figure...

I don't agree with PETA's tactics. In fact I don't agree with anything PETA does. I eat meat. Humans need a certain amount of meat. But we don't need fur coats. There are man-made fabrics and insulations that are cheaper, lighter and just as warm as fur. OK, so they're not as chic or gorgeous, but that's just too bad.

Every pelt represents a once-living, feeling creature. The fur on its back was designed by its Creator to keep it warm and provide protection. Animals have nothing but what they are born with. We have so much, they have so little, and yet we take it anyway, arrogantly assuming it's all for the taking.

Some facts about the international fur industry:

• Ranch-raised foxes are kept in cages only 2.5 feet square (minks in cages 1-foot-by-3-feet), with up to four animals per cage.
  
• Animals can languish in traps for days. Up to 1 out of every 4 trapped animals escapes by chewing off his or her own feet, only to die later from blood loss, fever, gangrene, or predation.
  
• Every year, thousands of dogs, cats, raptors, and other so-called "trash" animals are crippled or killed by traps.
  
• To kill the animals without damaging their fur, trappers usually strangle, beat, or stomp them to death. Animals on fur farms may be gassed, electrocuted, poisoned with strychnine, or have their necks snapped. These methods are not 100 percent effective and some animals "wake up" while being skinned.
