my view on PETA-$BlogItemTitle$> @ Wednesday, April 21, 2010
i was reading the news on ben & jerry's new ice cream flavors earlier today when i came across none other than... PETA. yes, they and their campaigns for animal rights may seem, well, humane and well thought of, but... after going through their website, i'm not impressed. why?
i love my lamb skin leather bags. i love the eggs i eat for breakfast every morning. i love the taste of beef, especially steak. i enjoy the variety of fish and seafood i get to pick at the grocery store. i love eating at fast food chains like mcdonald's and kfc.
no, i am not an animal hater, i love animals just as much as the regular people do. i love playing with dogs as much as i enjoy eating my meat and carrying my leather bags. why is it that PETA never complained about dogs, cats, tigers, lions eating chicken, beef, rabbit, salmon, etc. but make a fuss over what we humans eat? we are called omnivores for a reason, and the only reason we hunt animals differently is well, because we are smarter than other animals. dolphins "play" around with their meals by tossing them around in the air, but that doesn't make PETA squirm.
and most important of all, i don't want human breast milk ice cream, thank you very much. screw you PETA for coming up with such ridiculous ideas.
with love-
