7/27/2004: PETA love-in for vegetarianism

It's the PG-13 version of the Norwegians sex on stage - PETA staged a 'Live Make-Out Tour' last Friday in Boise, Idaho to promote vegetarian eating.

The event is meant to demonstrate PETA's claims that vegetarians are better lovers.

Why did you post the link to the whole story?

There's nothing wrong with peta that a case of ammunition wouldn't solve.

I really, really don't get PETA. That guy's haircut makes him look like a recently deserted marine.

His boyfriend likes it that way.

It's only a faux love-in dontcha know...

"There's nothing wrong with peta that a case of ammunition wouldn't solve"

Why? What's so terribly wrong about PETA?

I would like to support protests of this nature.

looks like smoothmoniker was in on it:

Clearly I am fighting for the wrong causes.......

all this time i just thought PETA was just silly... now it turns out that they are just plain f*!ked up.

How was he planning on doing that, pickaxe? Asking nicely?
I wonder if he had considered the environmental impact of sinking a nuclear sub

Oh good lord.....I mean....I am pretty far left on this issue but that's just fucked up

I think this one is my personal favourite ...""The life of an ant and that of my child should be granted equal consideration."

If he has children and they survive childhood sane enough to read I bet that'll make em feel treasured

In other words, balls first - ensuring that if he made it to the ladder, he would not in fact have children even if he did survive. Good 'un TS, thanks for the shot.

Yeah, those monkeys are really only fit for the target range.

We could use them for ballistic trauma damage testing instead of the jello dummies.

*nods*
I am a total hypocrite on this issue. I have a general dislike for animal testing where it's at all possible to use other means and I think some experiments are repeated to an unecessary degree and I think that in general animals cold be treated a great deal better within the farming industry and so on.....But I think Robert Newman ( the english one) probably said it best when he said that
"....In all honesty I would go into any field in England and kill every last sheep, cow, rabbit fox, goat ....every last anaimal in the field if i thought for just one moment.....just one moment ! ...that it might be a bit of a laugh "

In all fairness to Robert newman he is a stand up comedian and that was a joke I filched from his act But it would have ruined the mpay off if I'd said that at the start

I thought vegetarians weren't allowed to eat meat

Besides, some of my friends are vegetarians not because of a love of animals but because they hate plants just that much!

Sheesh and they say to get a pet if you want something to love (to underage girls that want a baby). Damn crazies. :thumbsdow

I think that they should issue tags for PETA members, just in case one accidentally gets in between you and a deer.

The idiots trying to board the sub sound more like Greenpeace ... or there is also a more radical batch of those fellahs ... Sea Shepherd, I think.

I am organizing a counter-protest publicity stunt on the other side of the street, "Donkey Show for Eating More Meat"

Greenpeace does some fairly crazy stuff but I doubt they'd try and board a nuclear sub.

They've done it before.

On the whole meat is murder issue...

I refuse to listen to PETA or anyone else who would encourage the consumption of harvested grains or vegetables in favor of eating from animals that are slaughtered. Take a wheat field that's ready for harvest. That wheat field is an ecosystem. You're going to find critters from all points on the food chain, from bugs to birds, mice to snakes and foxes.

Now, run a harvesting machine across that land. The bigger things like foxes and birds can easily flee the area when the tiller comes around, but woe be to all those small animals. The ones that nest above ground have no where to run and they can't outrun some of those machines. The ones that have nests below ground only have a short time before the field itself is tilled. And the small critters are opportunistic maters, so they could have families at any time of the year.

Unless I'm misreading/misunderstanding where PETA stands on the whole animal rights/animal suffrage issue, PETA ought to be doing something to stop these ritual mass-slaughters of small fuzzy things that live in these grain field habitats farmers create. Stop the merciless culling of the voiceless small animals who are lulled into a false sense of security by man with their fields of abundant food and ample cover from predators! *waves her Stick of Fuzzy-Thing Justice around* Maybe they can hold a Love-In down in front of these reaping machines in protest. We should get a picture of that too.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit back with one of my rats and carnivorously devour this double-bacon cheeseburger. (or I would if I was at home....*mutter*)

Bit of a difference between a peaceful protest and boarding with the intention to sink wolf.

PETA needs to stop blowing it's damn feet off, they're a bunch of damn nutjobs. There are some things I agree with - meat production is a very inefficient way to get food, animals should be slaughtered harmlessly and those kind of reasonable things but if they think my cat wants to be thrown into the forrest to fend for itself I wish they could ask it personally so she could scratch their eyes out.

Something the French got at least partially right.

because killing journos and sinking a private boat protesting that oh-so-defenceable activity of irradiating the pacific is a defenceable act.

When they finish, will it be "P.E.T.A. bred"?

Where's the smiley for groan.

:p

Here you go:

I was amused:

Two bumper stickers, one car:

1: Meat is Murder!!

2: I {heart} my Shar-pei

Uhm, pardon, but what do you feed your dog?

Beat it till it dies!

2: I {heart} my Shar-pei
Hey dude, that's my Sharpei!

Uhm, pardon, but what do you feed your dog?
He's an Alpoholic...

I know, groan - groan.

What's funny is that people are actually feeding their carnivorous animals a strict vegetarian diet. I believe there's even dog and cat feed out there for that purpose. Granted, dogs and cats will eat grass and nibble greenery but it's for helping to clear out the GI tract, not for food. It's like a human eating nothing but Metamucil or FiberCon and calling it food.

Depends where you stand really. I mean there are still people that refuse to believe global warming is possible, despite the overwhelming scientific evidence and then those who just think we can turn up the aircon. Tell that to a farmer who's land is being overrun by the Gobi desert or a citizen of the maldives.

The thing is, when you really bother to do the reasearch the damage we're doing to our planet is incredible and the changes needed to make it sustainable are huge. Suddenly extreme just makes a bit more sense.

Some anti-immigration groups recently failed in a hostile takeover attempt on the Sierra Club, under the guise of "immigration causes overpopulation, which is bad for the environmnt."

Not relevant, but amusing.

Damn, if that had succeeded I would have had to reinitiate my membership. (yes, I've been a member of all of the organizations discussed at one point in time or another. I have many totebags.)

That document leads me to believe that there are a number of folks running loose who really ought to be visiting Wolf.
