At Risk?

[Rigged]

Northern California seems to be the headquarters for Veganism and PETA members. Right now they seem to more interested in going after high-profile targets like cosmetics firms that do animal testing and celebrities who wear real fur coats.

Some Vegans and PETA folks are also targeting schools to try to get kids away from eating meat. They pose it as a health issue, but their politics are really about the rights of animals.

I believe in animal rights. Animals should have the right to eat PETA members.

As long as they spit out the plastic parts after. I don't want to see a poor animal choking on fake celeb parts.

For some celebs, that would be a lot of spitting.

Ok guys, you can't be posting funny stuff like that while I'm at work! People are wondering why I'm laughing so much!

There's waaay more to the environmentalist issue than just "animal rights." Do some serious investigating into the core leadership of some of these groups, and follow the money trails; you may be suprised.

If it's raised to be eaten or shorn or skinned I have no problem with it. As I always say: if they didn't make coats out of minks they'd be extinct by now because they are basically vermin...instead, they farm them and charge beaucoup bucks for the pelts. I don't hunt. I do fish. I eat what I catch only once in a very rare while...I catch and release just about everything. I believe in good land and wildlife management and that sometimes means that you have to cull a herd or cut down some trees...I do believe that in these cases, however, we should be very conservative and err on the side of caution but sometimes Bambi is just going to have to get shot and that's that. I have no desire to have a sporran made out of anything that isn't raised specifically to provide skins...that's a personal perspective. Hell, they eat dogs in some other countries but here they're pets...well, for some people they're livestock but that's another discussion.

In hindsight, I should have whacked the little bugger the other day. Coulda gotten rich off making seal sporrans for you guys. The stuff tastes fine, but really stinks up the house.

Personally, I only eat free range carrots that pop out of the ground of their own volition at the end of their natural life cycle.

Have you ever noticed that animal rights activists never choose a Hell's Angel to throw paint on? I suspect that most of us will not have Bubba's experience of being accosted for our clothing and accoutrements.
