F#@&ing PETA

Fucking PETA!

My friend posted this blog with a video from PETA. The video is called “Why you should become a vegetarian.” It is the biggest piece of BS I have seen all day. No time to beat around the bush, apparently I am going to die of heart disease and I’m probably already impotent. Why are PETA members so utterly uninformed? Where the hell did they come from? And why do they waste so much time trying to convert the world to a vegan lifestyle with countless baseless factoids? The following is a list of reasons they gave and my responses to what are after being refute nothing more than opinions.

Know that I don’t support meat eating or vegetarianism. In fact, I am a quasi-vegan I eat red meat as little as possible. I haven’t eaten pork for over 14 years. If anything I am pro choice. People should be able to decide what they want to do based on their own personal experiences.

Some of these things are untrue some are but all are pretty much stupid. None of them are good reasons by themselves to change your beliefs.

 

           

           

           

1. Heart disease begins in child hood.

            Fact – Child hood heart disease is congenital. Congenital defects are mostly hereditary.  

2. A vegetarian diet reduces heart disease

            Probably true but every vegan I know is very sickly. Congratulations! Your heart is healthy but you have no where near enough blood in your body to keep you alive should you catch a cold.

3. Eating meat and dairy makes you fat.

Eating too much of anything does indeed make you fat. The average person does eat way too much meat and dairy and that is what makes them fat. Not enough vegetables and fruit also contributes. How about dietary guidelines vegan and non-vegan for everyone?

4. You shouldn’t have to lie to your kids about the food that you eat.

            What the fuck does this mean? Who does that?

5. In every package of chicken, there’s a little poop.

            Probably true and pretty disgusting.  But once every one goes vegan and the world is overrun with animals, there will be poop everywhere!

6. Meat is filthy and bloody.

            So is that filthy hemp T-shirt you’ve been wearing everyday for three weeks! Take a bath you dirty Hippy!

7. Because it isn’t fair.

            That’s just gay. What is fair? PETA has millions that they waste on Pam Anderson’s Hepatitis C having ass to run around naked in anti-fur ads. Feed some homeless people instead of making rich people richer.      

8. Because no living creature wants to see their family slaughtered.

            Sounds nice. But so what? Are people in Thailand going to stop taking money to let rich business men murder innocent people because everyone is vegan now? I think not.

9. Eating meat causes impotence.

            Damn! How can I refute this one? Oh! I know! Studies show the hormones in meat do cause impotence. THE HORMONES in meat. People, its OK to eat meat but not those BIG ASSES pieces of chicken. NO chicken should be that big. Just eat more small ones. Its OK.

10. Mad Cow is in the US.

            So what! Quit eating raw food. Red meat shouldn’t be red. COOK THAT SHIT! It should be brown when you eat it.

11. Its violence we can stop.

            Then how about spending millions on anti war ads? I know if you throw paint on my fur coat, I’mma fuck you up worse than the minks who’s skin I’m wearing.

12. No one should make a living by killing.

            So now yall want people to quit their jobs during a recession. Smart move.

13. It takes a small person to beat a defenseless animal.

            I don’t beat chickens. I eat them. And once in a while I choke mine. But I’m quite sure he doesn’t mind.

14. No animal deserves to die for your taste buds.

            Well how about some delicious mushrooms. You know those fungi that grow from dead things. Oh look how beautiful that plant is! It was fertilized with the remains of some animal who died of natural causes.

15. The grain used to feed them could feed them(starving people in another country).

            Then buy some you rich bastards!

16. More than Half the water used in the US goes to feeding animals.

            So what? It’s a lot of animals and guess what there will be more when we stop eating and killing them. So how about, ALMOST ALL the water used in the US going to random assed animals wandering around the country?

17. Because when animals feel pain they scream too.

            Well be careful not to step on that goats toes. And quit taking those sheep’s virginities! THOSE ARE NOT MOANS OF ECSTACY!

18. Because they’re defenseless.

            Damn good one! I always thought though that birds had eyes on the side of their heads to defend themselves from predators. And wait a minute! Aren’t cows’ and goats’ and wait, wait fish’s eyes are spaced that way too? I think I remember my eighth grade biology teacher calling that a defense mechanism.

19. Because they don’t want to die.

            Well I’m sure no one wants to die. But we all do. No one can change that. I sure if we were all super healthy and lived to be 200 on an overpopulated planet with wild animals running amuck, I would find someway to kill myself or kill all the idiots who keep invading my space.

20. Because they feel fear(Refer to #18)

            Wait a minute! I remember something else form eighth grade science. Fear is a defense mechanism also. How about that?

21. Because no matter how you slice it, its still flesh.

            Who says it isn’t? Quite tasty too! If I may add.      

22. Commerce is no excuse for murder.

            Sure it is. It is a BILLION dollar industry. But seriously, are we just complaining now about random factoids. I would still eat meat.

23. Even prisons aren’t this crowded(Picture of chickens in a chicken coop)

            Have you been to jail? Yes they are!

24. This is not what wings are for.

            Chicken can’t fly. And as far as I can tell from my visits to zoos and farms, they don’t really do anything with them. Except for at a cock fight. They flap all around then. But wait, that’s violence to animals never mind. So what are wings for?

25. Everyone wants to be free.

            Yeah that’s true just ask your over bred house pet.

26. Eating fish doesn’t make you a vegetarian.

            But aren’t fish pretty healthy? I guess we could just take fish oil…no…wait I think that comes from killing fish. Or…nope no other way to get omega threes in sufficient quantities? Gotta have those!

27. Because Might doesn’t make right.

            I have no idea what this means as far as why I shouldn’t eat meat. Anybody? Anybody?

28. Because you know this is wrong(it’s a man tossing a brick on top of a pigs head and a man crushing a bird with his bare hands neither for eating purposes)

            Hmmmm. Yeah that’s wrong. But I don’t eat pork. And I am pretty sure no one ate that pig so that was just random violence that had nothing to do with eating meat. So I am not sure how to stop that guy from doing things like that. And the bird was definitely not a bird that people eat. Nothing to do with eating. Probably not a reason to stop eating meat. But good try!

            All in all I have nothing against vegans, or Jesus Freaks or any other zealot. Feel free to share your opinion. But I have to call Shenanigans when people try to convert the world using opinion and rhetoric. If you have some actual factoids, please share. I like to know as much as I can about everything possible. But don’t sell me ideas as facts.

            Here’s a fact for PETA supporters. PETA spends less than most larger corporations percentage wise on actually helping other human beings. So while they spend millions on commercials showing starving children in other countries. Not one ounce of Tofu is being donated by PETA to the homeless IN AMERICA or to starving anything anywhere.

People don’t let emotional pleas distract you from facts. Fear is an emotion also. That’s why many propagandists use fear to motivate you. Like the thing about heart disease. Check it out. Know the facts. Make your own decisions.

I think maybe #27 is in reference to the whole Survival of the Fittest/Top of the Totem Pole theory I was gonna bring up in saying that this is just the way of the world.  Kill or be killed and (un)/fortunately (all on how one looks at it), humans are out of all species living are more apt to making sure they survive.  Now one might argue that humans can survive without eating meat which is true, but that doesn't mean they have to.  So anyway I guess  #27 is saying that even though we can do it because we are at the top of the lifeline eating pyramid, it doesn't make our actions right in doing anyway.  Though if we wanna get on right or wrong que sara sara about it, let me just point out that it has been shown more than once in the bible where animalistic sacrifices and dining are the way for humans to survive.  God supplied us with at least some if not all animals and plants to feed off of or sacrifice to him sustain the life He gave us.  A thousand times over there are references to Jesus Himself eating fish or giving fish for people to eat.  Let's not go there with right or wrong.  Anywho, I think that though this could be considered a serious issue to some, this blog is quite amusing and entertaining thanks to your additions JJ.  I actually didn't watch the whole video (-hey, i'm at work.  i didn't have time for all that.), I just thought what I did see was interesting enough to repost and if all it did was get a hilarious blog out of it then KUDOS cause I loved your quirks to each point, esp. #9 .  You should post this blog in a forum and see what type of convo you can strike up with the real public.  You would have to fix that video first though.  Peace.
