British government employees have way too much time on their hands and free access to hallucinatory medications.

This is satire from The Onion right? I can't imagine they'd be that stupid in the U.K.

It is fitting and correct that peta and it's supporters should want to extend these "humanitarian rights" to other members of their family groups. How can you be so cruel as too disallow them free discourse and association with their ilk.

This is the type of legislation for which "sunshine laws" were enacted. The proponents should be placed under a magnifying lens, in order to discern their true intent. Yes! Let the light shine upon them.

And if? They find a saucer of beer to slake their thirst, perhaps a little shaker of salt will add a tang to their squirming.

Have the surviving members of the Monty Python team executed a coup d'etat over there or something?

No, they can't have. This is way beyond silly.

Then surely this would apply to a fetus...

A spokesman for Peta... has welcomed the proposals, saying: "Compassion must be extended to all living beings. Stamping on a slug sets an example to children that 'might makes right'."

There they go again, imanentizing the eschaton....

If insects and molluscs are to be afforded the law's protection, there will be little argument for excluding bivalves. How prophetic were the words of the philosopher Bertrand Russell, who so long ago warned that: "Animal rights, taken to their logical conclusion, mean votes for oysters."

Of course those rights must be extended to bivalves! After all, when you shuck an oyster, you're breaking into its home to eat it! How's that for a personal rights violation!

First off, I utterly and completely reject the argument that dying of beer is "painful."

Even I know while there are such things as legal fleas, there is no such thing as a flea lunch.

(So how do they network? You tell me.)
