I hate PETA. Hate. Is there a stronger word than HATE? Loath? Anyway, you can almost give them a pass about baby seals and a good clubbing or things of that nature. I am an animal lover but I'm also a meat eater. If the cow has to die for me to eat a rare steak, the method is rather arbitrary to me. So, now that we all understand that point, I can even kind of understand them getting upset at how cows and pigs may be put to plate. Chickens? Come on. Chickens? Chickens are like....like.....chickens. String them to a wire hooked to a battery and spray them with water. One chicken that's a family egg layer might be something special to someone. A pen with 10,000 chickens in it is food for mass consumption and you have to look at it as such. They are nothing but a number. Ok, so now we know where I stand on that. Lobsters? Wait...are you kidding me? Lobsters? PETA please. Lobsters? I thought a Lobster was half a step above an insect? Lobsters? If PETA would stick to puppy mills and shit like that I wouldn't have such an issue with them. Lobsters? And Ok, Holmes was old, but why just free him? Hell, his life is almost over....free one of the young ones! They probably put him in the harbor and he was dead within a day. When you think of all the wasted hours of energy that PETA puts forth, you wonder how much good could be done in the world with it. Go be a big brother or big sister to some young kids in homes who need direction. See? I'm not heartless, just practical. Throwing red paint on a jacket made of rabbit and trying to save a lobster. Whew. I'm glad that makes them sleep better at night.

He's being released near Kennebunk, huh? Gee, that's not too far from me. Perhaps I can be downstream a bit and pick him up! Wouldn't he be yummy to eat while watching the Steelers tomorrow?!?! Tonight, we're meeting friends at a restaurant whose specialty is something the Phantom Gourmet raves about...Lobster Mac and Cheese. I think I'm gonna have me some!
What is the standard "humane" way to kill an animal you intend to eat?
I deplore senseless killing. But I spent a lot of time (trial and error) learning how to cook pig, chicken, cow, lamb, fish, turkey, and deer. Please don't waste my time.
Oh, but this isn't nearly as bad as another recent PETA campaign. Did you see my latest blog about PETA wanting to rename fish "sea kittens" -- you know, to make it so children will be less likely to want to eat them? There's links to their page and everything!

Oh PETA ... your shenanigans always make me laugh. Now pardon me ... I have to go check on my sea kitten, which is in the oven.
That was literally the most ridiculous thing I ever read. "A chicken is... a chicken." No shit. And it's an animal, just like a cow, or a pig, or even you. And it deserves a life. There are an abundance of people as well. Should we slaughter all of them in cruel and inhumane ways? Think a little before you write things like that.
10,000+ (more like millions) of people in jail, children in orphanages should we give them numbers and slaughter them too?
