PETA+ Unethical workers = PUTA : a formula for success? Hardly.

I don't usually show my stripes, but I don't like PETA. I don't agree with their stance on research, and especially the way that they consider animals as equal to people and yet generally consider a fetus as less than that. I love animals, and treat them well myself (no that I am no longer 3 years old), but I think PETA is misguided.

So I found this article to be quite interesting to say the least.

Take a gander and see for yourself.

Speaking of animal rights whackos, the London Zoo recently featured a "Homo Sapiens" exhibit, including eight barely dressed men and women who sat on the rocks in a former gorilla pit, picking nits from each other's scalps. The zoo explained, "We have set up this exhibit to highlight the spread of man [sounds like a disease] as a plague species...."

An interesting sideline about PETA is the internal feuding about the "rights" of bacteria and other parasitical life forms. If cows are sacred, why not the E-coli spilling from their intestines to the slaughterhouse floor? Where do you draw the line? Who will speak for the voiceless, the unseen, the poor, deprived germs? When will the genocide end?

When Rodney King suffers folliculitis, his chin and neck covered in a field of puss-filled whiteheads, does he look in the mirror and say, "WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?"

heh, heh. that's a good question. We normally do get along quite well with so called "comensal" organisms, aka "normal flora," but that is only because conditions are just right and the immune system beats them down with their own phagocytic billy clubs like the riot police. If we want them to have equal rights, then we'd better outlaw vaccines, antiseptics, water treatment plants, sewer systems, and antibiotics, to name a few.

Hey, I'd be out of a job- maybe I could be a mortician!wo

Yeah, Peta's favorite campaign involves enlisting hot young celebs. No one since Hefner has gotten so much traction with oiled-up naked skin.

I hear that young female celebrities are waiting in line to appear in a Peta ad. Just another twist in the world's oldest unprofession.

D's bro.

Speaking of phagocytosis, I am eating far fewer sweets. Do you think my
phagocytic index has climbed? I hope so!

And those wackos and such have to have a cause, and since they don't know Jesus, they are prey to all sorts of ideas generated You Know Where. They need prayer, mostly.
