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.

The Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front are the two biggest US terrorists groups. Both have done about $10 million worth of damage in my hometown over the last couple of years. They are lucky they haven't killed anybody yet with their tree spiking and their arson.

The Earth Liberation Front

They are terrorist. They set a ski lodge on fire in Colorado causing millions of dollars in damage.

They also vandalize new homes in prosperious subdivisions.

They ARE crazy and dangerous.

Poll 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:

"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.

This was truly a desperate publicity stunt. State College tends towards very politically correct, although they could have gone somewhere selling leather shoes - LOL! State College is holding their annual festival of the arts, which 2 years ago had some rioting by thousands of rowdy young people; last year there was a really massive display of police force that was highly controversial, so this year there's lots of media people around figuring they'll either see a massive police presence or a riot - all the while getting to spend a few days in a somewhat rural area where they can shop for hours at stands run by artists from around the country. A no-lose proposition for any reporter, as PETA knew. If they were really concrened about animal rights they'd have gone after the PSU Chicken coops (as they have before), but darn! those aren't on the main drag where everyone will see it! They used to protest every year during school about rabbits, but they must not be getting enough new recruits...

I especially like how moron #1 is eating a McDonalds Hamburger, but I'm sure he'll claim it's a veggie burger or something, yah right, a veggie burger that's it...

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. :)
