'Your mommy kills animals'
PETA activists to give fliers to kids whose moms wear fur

Animal-rights activists across the nation are planning to single out children who are unlucky enough to have mothers who wear fur by giving them fliers at performances of "The Nutcracker" ballet saying, "Your Mommy Kills Animals."
The fliers feature a woman stabbing a terrified rabbit in the belly with a bloody knife, reports the Boston Herald. Text on the pamphlets urges kids to "ask your mommy how many dead animals she killed to make her fur clothes."
"Children can't look up to a mom in a battered-raccoon hat or a crushed coyote collar,'' Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, told the paper. "Maybe when they're confronted by their own children's hurt looks, fur-wearers' cold hearts will melt.''
According to the report, the fliers even urge children to protect their pets from mom: "The sooner she stops wearing fur, the sooner the animals will be safe. Until then, keep your doggie or kitty friends away from mommy – she's an animal killer.''
Child psychologist Dr. Carolyn Newberger decried the tactic.
"It's using children in the worst possible way,'' she told the Herald. "If (the activists) want to legitimately work to protect animals from destruction for fashion, they have every right to. But to do so by targeting children and making them feel their mothers are murderers is absolutely unconscionable.''
According to PETA national coordinator Lisa Franzetta, activists will descend on Christmas performances of "The Nutcracker" in as many as 20 cities across the U.S.
The paper says Franzetta acknowledged the anti-fur campaign might spark a backlash.
"It's definitely provocative; I will give you that,'' she said.
I'm sure that she'd correct them by telling that daddy kills the animals; mommy sews the pelts.
Excellent!
The other thing that we need to do is teach our kids to hunt at a young age. That way, they can respond, "Mommy doesn't kill the animals. Daddy loads the gun and I kill the animals. Mommy just sews the pelts."
Some years ago, I was witness to an occurrence of peta wackos throwing dye on a lady's full length mink. The lady turned to the wacko and genuinely thanked her for ruining her fur. The wacko was taken aback and said that the lady was crazy. The lady calmly explained that the fur was 6 years old and not the current fashion, so because the wacko had ruined the fur, she would now be able to replace it at no cost, under her insurance, with a new, more stylish fur. As she walked away, she pointed out to the wackos, that by ruining her fur, they had just contributed to the deaths of about 40 to 60 cute little minks, that would make up her new replacement fur.
It was the commotion that arose at that moment that got my attention and made me and others nearby, ask what was going on? When she explained it to the group around me, we laughed so hard that it brought several of us to tears. Appropriately, that laughter was the last thing that the peta wackos heard as the cops carted them off.
My son would reply, "So does Daddy and so do I!"

Thus the result:
Mom would look awfully silly trying to wear a fur coat made out of live animals, wouldn't she? They never stay in one place, they leave little gifts everywhere, and the insurance issues that would result when those mink started biting the crap out of innocent bystanders would have to be seen to be believed.
Nope, the dead ones are much better.
"And my Daddy beats up hippies."
I was once asked if I actually had a gun at home by a clueless yuppie at work (when he found out I was a hunter).
I told him "shucks, I don't have A gun at home. I have enough guns at home to overthrow your average small Central American country...
Good call! I would have done the same. But for some reason, the PETA-nuts always give me a wide berth. Must be all the black leather, death-metal T-shirts, and NRA pin on my lapel.
