Should hunters -- or anyone who enjoys a steak or a hamburger -- have to pay extra for that little indulgence?
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals thinks so. One of the nation's largest anti-hunting organizations, the group has kicked off a "Tax Meat" Campaign, proposing a 10-cent-per-pound excise tax on meat. Animal activists have also asked federal lawmakers to give tax breaks to those who have sworn off the consumption of animals.

they wouldn’t go for that they want to punish anyone who eats protein.
Have you ever heard long-term vegans talk? They can hardly string three words together to make a coherent sentence, I think I'll pass on a proteinless diet (ie, the "diet of serfs, and slaves"...)

my aunt was a vegetarian. she depleted herself of selenium, and eventually went senile. she had this superiority complex she was so good cause she didn’t eat meat. She did however eat raw egg yolks for breakfast.
Meat... just try to make decent Chili without it
TT
We should unit to remove PETA from tax exempt status because the group only purpose is to slam tax payers style of life!
Serfs, and slaves usually died at an early age. Mostly, it is *assumed* because they wore themselves out with the hard physical labor, but that only paints a partial picture. Couple that hard physical labor with dietary deficiencies, and you have a world where the top tier has a reasonable life span, while for the rest, life is, to paraphrase Hobbes, "nasty, brutish, and extremely short"...

Surely no ones takes these perverts seriously.
Not many Vegans are all that sane to begin with.
I like Vegans as they leave more meat for me.
I believe I will have another bologna sandwich with some smoke sausage.
Oh..
I knew they were against farmers and ranchers, didn’t realize that they were against pets. I thought they all had obnoxious little lap dogs that they pampered and treated better than their own children and/or parents.
How can that possibly work? Do you sign an affidavit?
It pretty simple. Owning animals is not ethical. Many people that have bought into PETA BS, don’t know about the extended agenda. Its kind of like the people who joined up with the NAZIs.
Mandatory Coverage Is Easier Said Than Done
A Compass That Can Clash With Modern Life You wouldn't believe this is from the NY Times, but it is a MUST READ!
From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
I believe I read that a woman is being charged with the death of her child because she could not produce enough nutrients in her milk for her baby. She and ehr husband were on strict vegan diets.
They’ll have to take pry my steak knife from my cold dead fingers.
Also I have an idea to share on how we fight PETA back. Here is what we did.... My son (his idea) signed up with a ficticious cartoon name (King of the Hill character). They now send him their stuff, spend their money, and we get a laugh reading about it.
What about...an excise tax on stupidity? Except then our Congress-critters and organizations like PETA would be bankrupt.
I’d pay extra for the indulgence of shooting PETA freaks.
Grill a steak today in honor of PETA, then:
Just say NO to Illegal Alien Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!
