PETA stands for "People Eating Tasty Animals." I'm tired of their bullshit and whining. If I want to hear a bunch of aging pansies whine, I'll go to a Susan Sarandon speech. Sheesh, these people are not only devoid of fun, they get in your face when all you're trying to do is enjoy a nice big steak. Now, I know there are some people who believe in their hearts that eating meat is unnecessary. These people are normally weeded out by evolution, but Man has decided to artificially extend these bottom-feeders' lives so that they can reproduce, trying to be "fair" to the stupid and weak. I know that these veg-heads would be the first one to slaughter a cow if there was a crisis and all of the plants died, so I don't want to hear any of their whining (especially Susan Sarandon - she looks like she needs a nice steak). For those people who failed their 9th grade Biology class, the pointy teeth that normally infest the mouths of these veg-heads are called "canine" teeth, and their evolutionary purpose is for the tearing of meat products within the mouth. In other words, your sorry asses got here because your parents (and theirs, etc.) ate MEAT. There is a laundry list of other evolutionary things that tie are bodies to the consumption of meat products. The most obvious of which is that big, meat-eating Akibono can squish any sorry-ass veg-head into my glove compartment in my car. If meat is so damn bad, then why are we the largest meat-eating society on earth, and why are our life expectancies going up by 30 years over the last century? Can you say "Duh?"
Now, a lot of the PETA crowd believe that they mean well, but they are misguided at best. All of the lawsuits and letters won't change the fact that KFC sells chicken. If you want to make a difference, sue them for making SHITTY chicken. Popeye's chicken kicks KFC in the ass! KFC delivers tiny, greasy excuses for chicken. I've seen larger game hens than the crap that they serve at KFC. Now Popeye's makes real chicken. It tastes so good.
Pet Co is another favorite target of the PETA nit-wits. Get a life. Pet Co is a neat place. They keep pets in air-conditioned comfort, something that even the French people don't do in their own hospitals. If you want to change the world, go to France and get them to legislate a new EU mandate that all EU-niks have to wear some sort of antiperspirant.
The PETA dip-shits also like to target the makers of Iams dog food. A lot of veterinarians made the stuff, and they have degrees in animal sciences. The dorks at PETA have VW microbuses and picket signs. I'll go with the educated lot and guess that Iams is good food for a pet. But PETA targets them anyway.
You know, I've noticed a trend with PETA - they target big corporations. KFC is owned by PepsiCo, and Iams is owned by Proctor & Gamble. So, basically, PETA is to animal rights what Jesse Jackson is to civil rights. They take a good idea (protecting animals from the most egregious abuses) and use it to extort money from any large company that makes any profit from animals. They threaten lawsuits if the companies involved don't issue large checks, just like Jackson. And just like Jackson, they've rendered themselves impotent as they cry wolf too often.
