I have never dined at an abbey but I’ve read the meals are usually sparse. If the abbey doesn’t sell their chickens to another egg farmer I imagine these birds will be on the monks’ menu.

Another chapter in the continuing saga of the tyranny of the minority.

I’ll grill some dead cow for supper tonight and flip the bird at the spirit of PETA while I eat it.

May peta members have a happy and merry christmas NOT. There is a special place in Hell for these people.
To: A Strict Constructionist
They don’t have Christmas. They are pagans who worship animals. That’s the underlying problem. The Greens and Petas are returning to ancient paganism as Christendom falls apart. Speaking “figuratively,” they demand human sacrifice to their animal deities. The day may come when they have enough power to turn the figurative into the literal, but we’ll see.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is compassionate, effective, and accomplished. PETA is a bunch of communists or Marxists attempting to force their version of the world on the rest of us with vandalism and hypocrisy. I have nothing but contempt for PETA and their ilk. IMO, they certainly have stolen the limelight from a legitimate, responsible organization.

Why are these criminals locked up? At the very least why are they picked up and put in a psychiatric facility for evaluation and treatment.
They're obviously psychotic.

Why would anyone capitulate to these waterheads? As far as I know, none of the fast food establishments have suffered any substantial loss of business due to the activities of this cult. The same can be said about most of the other leftist organizations. They are only as important as the MSM decides they should be. And even that does not help their causes in most cases.
To: stickandrudder
peta is going around harassing Trappists on how unethical the monk’s lifestyle is, compound the absurdity by the monks giving in.

I understand why the monks would rather pray than be in court.
So I do not condemn them.
But the big stores that have been buying from them have lots of money and lawyers and they are crumbs for not defending the monks.
The monks should have to raise their hand, the stores should have come to their rescue.

If we do not wish to lose our freedom, we must learn to tolerate our
neighbor’s right to freedom even though he might express that freedom
in a manner we consider to be eccentric.

Actually they were kind of tired of the whole chicken thing anyway.

What’s more sincere than a animal tested, polio vaccinated punk Teenager in Leather boots and animal tested, beef bi-product make-up telling Monks to not sell eggs because it’s using animals?
Then they go home to their formerly a squirrel nest, woods framed home and eat their McNugget happy meal and watch “Nemo” while begging mommy to renew their PeTA membership so they can get some more stickers to paste onto stop signs.
To: stickandrudder
"While the monks are sad to give up work that has sustained them for many years, a hard and honorable work of which they are proud, the pressure from PETA has made it difficult for them to live their quiet life of prayer, work and sacred reading."
PETA: Go to hell.
