PETA Is At It Again

Attention. That’s what its all about for PETA. Whether its good attention which is rare or bad attention which it almost always is seems to be their goal. Just look at that picture above. Read that line a few times and explain how someone was paid to think that was a good idea. Lately the organization accused the Peter Jackson and the makers of their latest film in New Zealand, The Hobbit. They are being accused of the deaths of over twenty horses. PETA is being accused of not actually checking the allegations made before jumping on their shit covered high horse.

“The Hobbit production has always instituted swift and immediate investigations in to any concerns of any kind over the treatment of animals under its care. A prompt and thorough investigation into the recent unsubstantiated allegations by the American organization, PETA, in to the ‘hobbling’ of a horse during the making of The Hobbit was undertaken. No evidence of such a practice was found to have occurred at any time.” 

The owners of the horses that were used also issued a statement calling PETA out on their bullshit. I really wish more people would do this when they pop up with their batch of nonsense as it would hopefully call more attention to the fact that they love to jump guns.

And scar the fuck out of children!

“I am 100% happy with the return of Shanghai and his condition. In the term that he was leased he was picked up and returned to me two times. On both occasions there was not a mark on him and he was healthy and happy. He has shown no signs of ill-treatment. I would not hesitate in leasing him to the movie again.” Does that sound like a group of people that had their animals jacked up?

"Uh...yes?" says one of the asshats that was fired for animal abuse.

No. Turns out that the ones who have gotten in trouble for animal abuse are the accusers. Two wranglers that were let go because of their work have waited until the film is about to come out to bring these charges up against Peter Jackson. You fucking maroons.

But don’t let things like facts let alone common sense stop PETA. The Munky brought the fact that they want people to stop eating fish by having them renamed “sea kittens.” I’ll give you a moment. Just let that sink in. Its not bad enough they used trained animals that should be in the wild for their ads or nudity to push their agenda. They think we need to stop eating fish.

You are now leaving Logictown!

“People don't seem to like fish. They're slithery and slimy, and they have eyes on either side of their pointy little heads which is weird, to say the least. Plus, the small ones nibble at your feet when you're swimming, and the big ones well, the big ones will bite your face off if Jaws is anything to go by.

Of course, if you look at it another way, what all this really means is that fish need to fire their PR guy stat. Whoever was in charge of creating a positive image for fish needs to go right back to working on the Britney Spears account and leave our scaly little friends alone. You've done enough damage, buddy. We've got it from here. And we're going to start by retiring the old name for good. When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it's time for a serious image makeover. And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?”

Allow me a moment to rant. Oh, before I start though, way to go with the Britney Spears knock. Very current reference. So I am going to assume that PETA is just about animals. I really do wish vegetables could scream. What would it sound like at a Jamba Juice?! All those fruits and vegetables being tossed into a machine, sliced so much they liquefy, and consumed. Oh, the horror! Its fucking fish, okay?

"We don't need food! We shall feast off the sunlight!"

Let’s pretend. Yay, pretend time! Let’s pretend we live in a Garden of Eden. A world where suddenly we don’t eat any animal. None. We allow them to bone and reproduce unchecked. Spay and neuter, you say? Good luck with that. I don’t think mountain lions are gonna sit there and let you drug them and slice their nuts off. Are the animals gonna not eat one another? Or will they ask for PETA’s blessing before doing so? And have fun getting to work when you have this sitting on the hood of your car!

Somebody's gonna be late...

I cant make up the kind of bullshit this group does. Its on a level of absurdity that people go to clown college to learn. I like animals. Particularly ones I can fit between a bun. If you belong to this group or support their ideas your money would be better spent helping out your local animal shelters or giving to animals sanctuaries which is where exotic animals that dumb asses once owned before realizing that having a pet ostrich in their studio apartment was a bad idea. Find your local ASPCA or donate to your local shelter. Do your homework. Do you really need that cockeyed, inbred $3,000 Dalmatian?
