It's the very first
Hot Button Monday on the view from here, and have we (meaning I)
got a controversial topic to really mash on that hot button of yours! How do
you feel about........
I know, I know... You
were expecting something controversial. We all love animals, right? So,
shouldn't this topic be a no-brainer? We should all support PETA, because
they're in it for those poor, voiceless, defenseless (aside from the teeth and
claws, of course) cats and dogs, and tasty, tasty cows and chickens – shouldn't
we?
Well, my fellow
animal-loving friend, the answer to that question depends entirely upon the
answer to another, more dramatically-worded, and therefore more urgent, question:
How does PETA really treat animals,
hmmmmmmm?
A follow up, dramatically-worded question would be:
Is PETA in fact run by a gaggle of clinically-insane nutjobs?

I could really draw this
out, stringing you along in hopes that you will fall madly in love with my
intelligent and snarky, yet mirthful writing style, perhaps asking it to elope
with you to luxurious Roswell, New Mexico for a UFO-themed honeymoon, but
instead I'm just going to cut to the chase and give you the hard facts in the
well-loved and succinct bullet-point format. Besides, my writing style is
already involved.
Each factoid in the bullet-points magically doubles as a
hyperlink (cool word, right?) to a reliable source for each and every fact.
- PETA kills about 90% of all the pets they "rescue." Many pets are killed in the van.
- PETA doesn't want you to be able to shower cute puppies and kittens with love! The link is a page full of quotes from PETA's czar, ranging from pretty-darn-insensitive to nutballs loco.
- PETA doesn't want you to drink milk, and that includes pouring it over cereal. They suggest instead that we drink human milk from nursing women.
- PETA hates Jews! Maybe not, but they believe that killing animals for meat is on par with the Holocaust. This isn't a one-time deal either. They often compare killing animals for food to the mistreatment and murder of humans.
- PETA may have supported eco-terrorist groups, ALF and ELF, and they have their own FBI file.
- PETA is run by certified loons. Ingrid Newkirk is bat-guano crazy.
Well, there you have
it, you intrepid fact-chaser, you. As always, I leave it up to you to do one of
the following:
1)
Blindly
believe everything I write
2)
Blindly
ignore everything I write
3)
Click,
click, click your way to enlightenment!
Got an idea for a
future Hot Button Monday? Message me on facebook or twitter! I’ll let you know
in advance if I’m going to use your idea.

Yup! She's certified bat-guano crazy for sure!
Indeed, Nothing Clever. I knew she was a few pieces of jagged, rusty metal short of an Erector Set prior to writing this entry, but when I was doing the research I almost had to pinch myself. The crap that comes out of her mouth is worse than anything anyone could make up about her.
Thanks for the comment :)
