J.U.T.P.(M)
People fight. This is the sad truth of our society today. There are different kinds of fighting, such as street brawling, fighting in wars, fighting for your right (to party), and fighting for other things you believe in. I'm all for people fighting for things that they think are right, but groups of people who get together to gang up on defenseless coporations and beurocracies must be stopped because it's just not fair. I mean, there are companies like kentucky fried chicken (i refuse to call it by the new crappy short name), among other restaurants, and clothing makers are trying to make it in this creul world.
Who in their right mind could be so creul as to take on defenseless (and faceless, interestingely enough), corporations? Of course i am referring to peta, otherwise known as the people for the ethical treatement of animals, or a delicious bread on which to make a falaffel.
Peta claims that kentucky fried chicken "mistreats" chickens. Um, no shit sherlock. They kill them, pull the feathers off, cut them up, fry them, and then serve them to people to consume. I guess any restaurant that does that is now all of a sudden "mistreating" the animals. What are they supposed to do? Wait until the chicken decides that it's life isn't worth living and commits suicide? Or better yet, wait for them to die of old age? How long do chickens live anyway? No one knows, because when you see a chicken, the first thought that comes into your mind is, "hey a chicken, i should go eat that." There has never been such a thing as an old chicken. There is a reason for that, and the reason is, they're delicious.
I mean, if we're not supposed to eat animals, wear animals, and use animals for upholstering our cars, what the hell is the use for animals? There's already a name for living beings that we don't use or have any care for: lawyers (sorry to my lawyer friends, but the truth hurts). Actually, if it came to be that peta won, and no one ever ate an animal ever again, or did anything creul to animals letting them run around wherever they wanted what do you think would happen? We'd be infested... with chickens. I mean, it's not bad enough that i have to pay someone to come in and spray for roaches and squirrels, i'd have to get someone to come in and spray for cows too? It seems there's also a double standard over the definition of "animals" when referring to the people for the blah blah blah of animals. I mean, most of those guys are against throwing live lobsters into a boiling pot of water, but don't really treat other forms of seafood with the same high regard that they do for the lobster. Why do lobsters get special treatment? I mean, they're not even evasive enough to avoid ending up in a plastic tank in a wal-mart, why should i give such a crap what happens to him? Besides, lobsters are the cockroaches of the sea. I mean, they're really ugly looking creatures.
But why don't the animal activists feel the same way about jellyfish? Or even to get away from seafood, why not feel the same way about insects? "They're not animals" many people would say, but what's the criteria? According to the laws of science (and you don't want to break the LAW, do you?), insects and lobsters are in the same phylum arthropoda, which is in the kingdom of animalia.
There is also a high level of "look the other way" syndrome. I mean, while animal activists might want to stop animal testing, i wonder how many of these activists use drugs and treatments that were found thanks to testing on mice? In that case, if you're an animal activist, how bout not using any drugs that were developed through animal research (you'd be surprised how many drugs were...), and see how you feel...
Actually, i have a new idea for a reality tv show. Let's put a huge group of peta members in a kind of venue where people can spectate, for argument's sake, we'll call this venue a "stadium" and we'll release a bunch of the animals that they so fiercely protect into the "stadium" with them, and see how they act. At this point, most people would think, "well, they'll get along with the dogs and cats fine" but how about some spiders, pumas, gators, and oh yeah, sharks (we might have to have a separate tank i guess, but definately have some shark fin soup after it's all said and done).
After a bit of that, i have decided to make my own group... That's right, jutp(m) (jon for the unkind treatement of peta (members)). The whole stadium thing could be funded by jutp(m)... it'd be great.
In keeping with the theme of this post, i decided to stray a bit, and offer a quote from another comic i think is hilarious, because he had a quote that goes well with today's theme.
Here is Ron White's QotD:

Here is Ron White's QotD:
A freind of mine once told me that he was a vegitarian. But he said that it wasn't because he was against killing helpless animals, he said that it was because of cattle farms and the harm that raising cattle does to the enviornment. My freind said "Ron, what are you doing for the enviornment?" I said... I'm eating the cows, but I'm only ONE MAN
