Glass Smashed, Red Paint Left On Windows, Sidewalk
Posted: 5:05 p.m. EDT July 11, 2002
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- The fur is fake, but the damage is real enough.
Charlene Rosen, owner of Mr. Charles Shop, in State College, Pa., says anti-fur activists smashed her glass doors. She says another attack left red paint on her shop windows and sidewalk.
E-mail to a college newspaper claims the Animal Liberation Front is responsible. But Rosen says the vandals can't tell real fur from fake. She has a denim jacket in her shop window with a phony fur collar.
She says she doesn't carry real fur products. Rosen says "If they're stupid enough not to know real from fake, we've got a real problem in our society."
Nothing funny about it. These wack-jobs are dead serious and have engaged in everything from vandalism to terrorism. Check out their Web site for details.

SOURCE: People for the Ethical Treatment of AnimalsPoll Shows 'White Men Don't Care'
Hispanics, Blacks, and White Women Care About Vegetarian Eating, The Environment, Farmed Animals, Says Zogby Poll
NORFOLK, Va., June 27 /PRNewswire/ -- If (white) men are from Mars, then Martians, according to a Zogby International poll released today, have shockingly little compassion for nonhuman life forms.
The poll, conducted by Zogby International for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), reveals the following:
- Sixty-four percent of Hispanics, 64 percent of white women, and 60 percent of blacks "sometimes," "often," or "always" eat vegetarian meals. Only 50 percent of white men eat this way.
- Sixty-three percent of white men said that the knowledge that male animals on farms are castrated without painkillers has no effect on their food choices, while white women and minorities overwhelmingly support legislation to ban such practices. Seventy-one percent of white women, 62 percent of blacks, and a whopping 78 percent of Hispanics support such legislation.
- Sixty-two percent of blacks, 62 percent of Hispanics, and 55 percent of white women said that they were more likely to stop drinking milk after hearing that male dairy calves are sold to the veal industry. In contrast, only 31 percent of white men were moved by this revelation.
- Sixty-two percent of Hispanics support a tax on meat to help keep down health-care costs incurred because of diseases linked like high blood pressure, cancer, heart attack and stroke that are related to meat consumption, compared with 38 percent of whites and 50 percent of blacks.
"Even hearing that animals on farms are castrated without painkillers was not enough to get an 'ouch' out of my fellow white males," says PETA's Director of Vegan Outreach Bruce Friedrich. "With Americans of a variety of cultural backgrounds favoring stronger measures to protect animals, it's time for the 'good ol' white boys' to get with the times and start showing that they care about more than just themselves."
The poll targeted equal numbers of whites, African-Americans, and Hispanics, with data broken down according to age, religion, gender, geographic region, and income.

Now I don't know about anyone else...but, yes, I have known a few white women who were vegetarians, but I have NEVER met one black or Spanish-speaking vegetarian, male or female...not to say that there aren't any, but it sure looks to me like these statistics must be skewed to make these poor white males (who can't jump or anything) look bad again.
Of course! The Nauga was a very dangerous animal. Its hide was used to cover car seats, furniture, etc.
Speaking of which, I remember visiting a cafe somewhere in northern Arkansas many years ago (before I moved here) that had Nauga hides on the wall as decorations.
True story! Talk about a sense of humor! =o)
Makes me wonder about ol' Bruce's fellow white males he hangs around with.
Moron(s) #2 & #4, well I have to compliment them on their beautiful stiletto pumps, hmm, wonder if it genuine Italian leather?
And finally moron(s) #3 ...All I can say is, when humans are born with sneakers on, I'll join their human race...
Thanks for the laugh. :)
