Hypocrisy in a picture


Save pitbulls or kill them?
Originally uploaded by icemakk.
Well my recent emailed newsletter arrived today with glaring hypocrisy of PeTA yet again.
The message was: "...to help a special group of neglected and suffering dogs—those who are kept chained or penned outdoors. They lack adequate space to move around, and they are deprived of water, shade, and medical care in times of injury and illness".

ON the surface it seems like a noble thing to do. Something regular Joe Blow citizen would be happy to dish out his hard earned bucks for and perhaps be conned into giving it to PeTA. Save your money folks. PeTA destroys more animals each year than the SPCA. Also, look at the pic. Is that not a pit bull? The same breed that PeTA wants eliminated? Interesting isn't it. They find a picture of an abused dog to scam money from you knowing full well that it is a breed they are trying to eliminate. PeTA is behind all anti pitbull laws so why use this photo? Because it is sensational and heartwrenching and will get more suckers to send them their hard earned dollars.

For the record I don't think pitbulls are evil. It is the owners that make them that way. I have met vicious pit bulls and very friendly ones, almost sucky friendly. Why blame the breed? The most vicious dog I ever met was a black lab that had been trained to be a guard dog. Labs are usually one of the most friendly, easy going breeds but this one had been made to be ugly. To top it off its name was Mandy!! Cute.
So folks before you send your hard earned cash to these scam artists ask them EXACTLY what they will do with the money. Ask them how many animals they put down each year and then ask them if they will save any pitbulls with their program.

Denial and hypocrisy...template for a petard!

I am on a camping trip with my sons right now in beautiful British Columbia. The campground just happens to have wireless internet so I grabbed a coffee and logged on. I opened my mail and found the latest piece of denial and hypocrisy...I mean..the PeTA newsletter and there was a section about...CAMPING!! I had to read it and almost snorted coffee out my nose at some of the warm fuzzy bullshit in there. Here is the link if you wish to follow along.

camping section of the newsletter-click here

Now to be fair they did have some nice tips on being a repsonsible camper, clean up your trash, wear sunscreeen etc etc. Normal common sense stuff that unfortunately, some of the public has to be reminded of again and again. I will give them kudos on that part.

The thing that had me rolling my eyes and then rolling on the ground laughing, was their vegan recipes. This is where they pat themselves on the back for being vegan while torturing themselves with a gross diet of just plant stuff. Then they try to imitate the food they are denying themselve. There is a recipe for "chicken" kabobs with faux chicken. Hey, if it ain't poulty it ain't chicken. It is meatless kabobs that taste like meatless kabobs!! Stop kidding yourselves and trying to spread the denial. If you want something that tastes like meat then don't go pressing your soy and other crap into hot dogs, burgers and "chicken" kabobs. Pick a real diet and stop pretending. I eat meat and plants but don't feel the need to shape a steak into a cabbage and call it faux cabbage.

They also poo poo fishing. Sorry, but in a lake with a healthy poplation of fish that is a great way to have a free and healthy meal. They state: "it’s painful when fish are impaled, thrown, crushed, or mutilated while still alive."
Crushed? I don't remember every crushing a fish and most anglers are very careful when handling a fish whether it is for food or to be returned to the water. Fish mouths are not that full of nerve endings by the way, which is why it has been a preferred way of catching them.

They also mention that you can be an enviro friendly hiker with Ethical Wares non-leather hiking boot. Hmm, that would mean synthetics. Stuff like nylon, plastics, gortex and other man made materials that are usually derived from petroleum products, you know, OIL!! Yes they would rather risk more spills from tankers and have you wear a non-bio degradable boot than one made of leather.
I fail to see this as being cruelty free. I have never heard of a tanker spilling cows on a shore and wiping out an ecosystem!!
While some of these may be a great quality boots don't try and pretend they are enviro-freindly. No boot can claim that, even one with leather uppers.
It is all just another pile of emotional sand that they wish to stick their heads in when they wish to hide from the truth. Being vegan goes against what nature intended for us and it is not the way to save the planet. Leather is a byproduct of food. I have yet to see footwear made of left over plant parts other then hemp or cotton and we don't eat those anyway.

So I am off to continue my camping, wearing my synthetic sandals and my leather hiking boots. I will cook REAL chicken, with a nice salad on the side. I will have steak too and suddenly, I have an urge to go fishing!!

Camping

I am off for a week of camping with my sons.
During this time we will:
1- burn wood in a campfire
2- fish and eat the fish
3- cook lots of meat that we brought with us
4- eat eggs
5- eat cheese and drink milk from cows.
6- laugh our asses off at petards and vegans who just don't get it. They don't get it that they are wrong and are denying themselves many pleasures in life.

See you in a bit!!

How Petards waste their time and money

The animal rights extremists never cease to amaze me on how much emotion they have to drown logic and common sense.
In the latest PETA email/lets try tug your heartstrings yet again/newsletter they tout their bug catcher.
PETA bug catcher

Not a fly swatter, or bug trap but a catch and release bug catcher. Note the important word; "release". Yes if you have a petard in your neighborhood they may be helping keep the pesky insect population flourishing. Mosquitos, house flys, ants. You name it, they let them back into the area to infest some more.
Now I don't know about you but when anything with more than 4 legs enters my house....it is the last thing they ever do. There is no shortages off insects and to allow them to continue to enter homes causes problems as they may lay eggs in your home and then you have hundreds even thousands of the little buggers.
In my area we have problems with (possible) disease carrying mosquitos. Flys that are already known to spread bacteria. Moths that can be annoying as hell as they bounce off of your lights.
Sorry petards but I'm squashing, flushing and spraying them. They're bugs. They don't belong in my house and to keep them from multiplying I take out the ones that are attracted to the indoors.
Enjoy your infestation.

Vegan? Soy what??

Soy. The miracle food of the vegan types. You know the ones, munching on plants convinced that this is the natural way to go to save the planet. Is soy really that great for the planet? Read on.

Soy production has overtaken logging and cattle ranching as the main source of Amazon rainforest destruction. In the past three years, nearly 27000 square miles of the Amazon have been destroyed, nearly three-quarters of it illegally. Much of the acreage was sold to soy producers, financed in large part by agribusiness giant Cargill, the largest privately owned company in the world. Brazil has become the world's leading exporter of soy; last year, the country produced more than 50 million tons of the protein-rich bean from an area approximately the size of the United Kingdom. In 2004, Brazil was in the top four global greenhouse-gas producers -- because of the smoke from burning trees. Brazilian activist Cayetano Scannavino Filao says that in the three years since Cargill opened a port in the city of Santarem, deforestation in the surrounding area has increased 511 percent. "We used to fight the loggers, but the loggers, they eat the Amazon in small bites, " he says. "The soy is eating the Amazon in big bites."

Here is a link to another article on soy
More news on the destructiveness of soy

I am not saying that soy is not a healthy food but when militant vegans and ARTs (Animal Rights Terrorists) try to convert so many to their vegan ways, it comes at a cost. All actions have a reaction. Soy is often touted as THE replacement for meat protein. Is it?
More on soy
I wonder how many wild animals are living in these new soy fields. Fields that are culitvated and plowed on a regular basis. I also wonder how many animals (besides cattle) can live in a grazing pasture? I bet the meat eaters win that one as being more enviro-friendly.

Now I have eaten soy products on many occasions, mostly in Japanese cuisine which I enjoy. I also had meat in the same meal. I firmly believe that humans are meant to have a balance of meat and plant foods to maintain a healty diet. This is why I despise extremist vegans and animal rights groups that try to force their warm fuzzy beliefs/diet by twisting facts. They want us to leave the poor defenceless animals alone. I hear that chant often leaving me to believe they chose their diet based on emotions and not facts. Sure the slaughter of an animal for food is not a pretty site. Not everyone can witness it or do it but it is necessary to provide us with a food. I wonder if these same softies can bear to witness a plow churn over an animal's underground den (with young) to make way for crops. Plants they are going to eat. It happens all the time.
All actions have a reaction.

From Myspace

I submit to a forum on myspace.com called "Animal Lovers against PETA" which is basically people who have grown tired of being labled evil just because they eat meat or have a pet. The forum is an oasis of rational thought in the sea of PETA hypocrisy. If you are on myspace search for it and join up unless you are a petard. Your drivel and nonsense is not welcome there and will be shot down quickly.
One lady going by the screen name of Lorraine Renee wrote the following on a thread I started about this blog. She nailed the description of PETA so well I have posted it here. Enjoy.

from Lorraine Renee
They've practically turned PETA into a religion. It's like trying to tell a christian there's no God. Even if we could physically prove it, all they'd ever do is scream and yell and use five-year-old language.
--------------
Ten years later, once PETA has taken over the world:
--------------
Inside the Holy Church of PETA, the minister gives his sermon.
--------------

All hail PETA! .... Today, we will talk about the almighty word of fuzzyness and vegan hypocricy! Buy our stuff! That concludes Today's sermon.

And now for the collection basket and anal raping!


--------------
the crowd goes wild and proceeds to throw in all of their money.

No offense to the actual decent christians out there ^_^

PS.

Let's bomb peta.

Thanks Lorraine Renee for an amusing and accurate read.
