Oh PETA, you adorable scamp, you. When will you knock it the fuck off already? It's getting old and stale, like the delicious bits of ground up cow shaped into patties, sitting in the back of my freezer since March.
You're really hurting your own cause, here. And you come real close to making me root against the animals! Think about that. Adorable, cute, empty-headed little fur-covered bastards and you're making me side against them. And if they weren't too stupid to talk, I bet they'd tell us they feel the same way.
Well, what did I expect from an organization that has Pam Anderson as its spokeswoman. More, I guess...
An animal rights group has tried and failed to run a newspaper ad comparing the beheading of a passenger on a Greyhound bus last week to the treatment of animals by the meat industry.
Fantastic!
Are they really so out of touch they expect an ad like this to work in the way they claim they intended? Are they aware of how the average person views the tragic ending of human life but are just out for ANY publicity at all? Do they just hate those super intelligent animals with opposable thumbs and knowledge of comic books (us!)?
... city editor Tara Seel said the newspaper had no intention of running the ad, which uses imagery of an innocent victim's throat being cut, in reference to the slaughter of cows, chickens and pigs on factory farms.
His struggles and cries are ignored ... the man with the knife shows no emotion ... the victim is slaughtered and his head cut off ... his flesh is eaten, reads the ad, which is posted on the website.
No, PETA, I have no idea why you're a laughingstock who very few take seriously. Here's something, though... Maybe stop being a dick?
"If this ad leaves a bad taste in your mouth, please give a thought to what sensitive animals think and feel when they come to the end of their frightening journey and see, hear and smell the slaughterhouse.
I'm sorry, I DO have a bad taste in my mouth, one sec while I wash it out with some ox blood... Mmmm, that always does the trick.
Back to the topic at hand. You're undercutting any point you could've made, when you reference a beheading. A recent beheading. You can't be stupid enough to think things work that way. Convince people, win them over, make a valid point. Don't anger them with images of one of their own, getting killed, then try to talk about that thing you were mentioning earlier.
People aren't in the dark about where meat comes from. Some of them just have a different position on it than you do.
I'm an idiot (though much, much smarter than any animal ever?) and even I can see that.
Like human victims, animals in slaughterhouses experience terror when they are attacked by a knife-wielding assailant, Lindsay Rajt of PETA said in a news release. We are challenging everyone who is rightly horrified by this crime to look into their hearts and consider leaving violence off their dinner plates.
Ms. Rajt said the ad was intended to be shocking and is meant to spur people to think about the terror and pain experienced by animals who are raised and killed for food.
Think about how asinine that is. Picture yourself at a dinner party where the topic of a recent horrible murder has come up. Then picture the person at the end of the table piping up with, "Well, it's no different than what happens to animals every day."
Can you see how innapropriate that would be? How, at the very least, annoying and obnoxious it would be? Even without the use of graphic visual aids...
Go away PETA, you've stayed too long at the party. Take yer hat made of something less than leather and go.
