Peta

[rubicon]

Heard on the radio this AM, peta is at it again raising H#*## with Six Flags cause they are going to allow anybody who eats a Madagaskar Hissing Cockroach into the park for free on Halloween! But good for Six Flags. They said the roaches are nutritional, and provide protein and they are NOT backing down!
Imagine that, human cockroaches wanting to save insect cockroaches.
Also, on Ebay a guy tried to sell his hunting rights for one year, whereas for a sum of money he would leave all his guns in his vault, not take his children hunting, and would thus save a large amount of wildlife. He ended the offer by saying -PETA, pay up or shut up1

That's a great idea!

Good old PETA. They would have to pay me a ton of money for me to agree not to hunt for a year and not to take my kids hunting for a year, and I mean a ton of money. It would have to be enough so that I could put one heck of a down payment on a heck of a nice house and I am probably making it that small right now because I don't have kids right now. However, it would still suck not to be able to take Nitro hunting or to go hunting with my dad. Stupid PETA.

Hum, I do not know how to tell you guys this, but. You may recall we have had a few shark attacks here in NW Florida... Well the Chamber orginized a Shark Fishing tourney last weekend. Winner was a 480 pound man eater, a Tiger shark, cought by a woman.

PETA was there waving plackards, took out a full page ad in the paper and said they were going to boycott Destin. Well, PETA, do not go away mad, just get the hell gone.....

PETA really makes me sick- they have been arrested here in Maine for interrupting people legally hunting. Good for the wardens- atleast they know who the criminals are. I have an aunt who is in PETA and I wouldn't dare make her feel uncomfortable when she comes to my house HAHAHA! Yeah right, makes the visit worthwhile. She's the whole package- lesbian, vegetarian and PETA member.

Fabs, I forget what the amount was but it was astronomical and the guy knew he wouldnt have any takers. If anything they would probably try to trade him pinecones for his hunting license.
Know a guy who went into their office in DC and told them he was a hunter but wanted to hear their side of the story. They told him to leave immediately or theyu would call the cops.

ooohhhhh kay I just gotta say I wouldnt eat a roach for a million bucks, but more power to them if they want to. As for Peta. . . . . see Penn and Tellar's show BullSh*t. The Episode about Peta is CLASSIC.

I would lease my license to them. Still take the kids and everyone else out and enjoy the hunt. Burn up some of their cash reserve. I like that idea.

Now that's funny! What's even funnier, is I can picture it. That has to make your holiday a riot. Keep up the good work.

"PETA? People who Eats Tasty Animals? Waz wrong wit dat?" A wise ol' Cajun once asked me. "Nothin' " I said, "why nothin' at all."

It sure does, Grayghost! I bet you are not far off on picturing it, either.

7 Things You Didn't Know About PETA


1) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group’s overall goal as “total animal liberation.” This means no meat, no milk, no zoos, no circuses, no wool, no leather, no hunting, no fishing, and no pets (not even seeing-eye dogs). PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals.
2) Despite its constant moralizing about the “unethical” treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, PETA has killed over 10,000 dogs and cats at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. During 2003, PETA put to death over 85 percent of the animals it collected from members of the public.

3) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) activist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing recommendation, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. And PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich told an animal rights convention in 2001 that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation.”

4) PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, often waiting outside their schools to intercept them as they walk to and from class-without notifying parents. One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells small children: “Your Mommy Kills Animals!” PETA brags that its messages reach over 2 million children every year, including thousands reached by e-mail without the permission of their parents. One PETA vice president told the Fox News Channel’s audience: “Our campaigns are always geared towards children, and they always will be.”

5) PETA has used a related organization, the PETA Foundation, to fund the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a deceptive animal rights group that promotes itself as an unbiased source of medical and nutritional information. PCRM's president also serves as president of the PETA Foundation.

6) PETA runs campaigns seemingly calculated to offend religious believers. One entire PETA website is devoted to the claim-despite ample evidence to the contrary-that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. PETA holds protests at houses of worship, even suing one church that tried to protect its members from Sunday-morning harassment. Its billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs “died for their sins.” PETA insists, contrary to centuries of rabbinical teaching, that the Jewish ritual of kosher slaughter shouldn't be allowed. And its infamous “Holocaust on Your Plate” campaign crassly compares the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide with farm animals.

7) PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, because they support animal-based research that might uncover cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. PETA president Ingrid Newkirk has said that “even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it.”
