This guy is really ticked at PETAFiles Ingrid Newkirk and rightly so. I had to replace some bad words for posterity but will capitalize replacement words and place ** beside those words.

PETA: equating civil rights with steak
Category: Animal Rights Extremism

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is an extremist
organization. Some might even call it a cult, and a violent one at
that.
Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PETA, is a particularly objectionable
**NITWIT**. Many of my friends are vegetarians for ethical reasons. They
object to the treatment of the animals we use for food, and they
object to the impact raising food animals has on the environment. It's
a personal choice. But they don't think that a chicken is the ethical
equivalent of a person. My friends just aren't that stupid.
Ingrid is not one of my friends. In her message for the anniversary of
the death of Martin Luther King, Jr., she takes stupid to the next
level---worse than nauseating, worse than burning, worse than
blinding. She equates the assassination of America's greatest civil
rights leader with making omelettes.
MLK was one of thousands of people who were killed trying to gain
equality for African Americans. Thousands more were physically
injured, and millions more suffered the burdens of racism, Jim Crow,
and segregation.
"As we reflect on the violent killing of a man who stood for peace and
equality, it's a good time to ask ourselves what we are doing --
because there's so much we can do - to help humanity reach those
goals.
We may not be able to stop all the violence in the world, but each of
us has the power to end the violence and suffering we're responsible
for every time we sit down to eat, simply by choosing humane
vegetarian foods instead of meat, dairy, and eggs. The animals who are
killed for our food never have the freedom to do anything natural or
enjoyable."
There are a couple of ways to interpret her idiocy. One is that Blacks
are no better or worse than animals, given that both deserve the same
rights. I find this abhorrent.
The other is that all people are no better than animals when it comes
to how we treat each other. I find this equally abhorrent.
If you do not recognize that there is a moral difference between how
we treat other humans and how we treat animals, you are missing
something fundamental: the world isn't fair. We were not put on Earth
to help other species. We exist in a world of predation. Thankfully,
we are most often the predator. Sure, we can choose not to eat
animals, but it is not the same as choosing not to eat a person.
People are far more intelligent than other animals, and each person is
a member of human society. Chickens are not, and will never be,
integrated into our society, either physically or morally.
Anyone who claims that eating animals is the moral equivalent of Jim
Crow, lynching, and assassination is not only an idiot, but is a
racist idiot, and a dangerous idiot---if animal lives are the
equivalent of human lives, then some **IGNORANT SCREWUP** out there is going to
kill a person to save an animal.
I don't think it's going to far to say that PETA should probably be on
a terrorist group watch list, if it isn't already. People have been
hurt, and more surely will be.

Just more proof to the theory that vegetarianism rots your brain.
Look what it did for Adolf Hitler.

We should do some ads using her as the model for "What women who dont wear fur look like."
Seems to be 3 types on their side...
The young and impressionable. These are the workers. Most are only going through a stage and will grow out of it to pusue a normal healthy life.
The passionate misfit. These are the Coronado types. Distorted view of life and death. Have an axe to grind against society and maybe even the human race. Relate t animals because they cant to humans. Willing to dedicate themselves completely to the "cause".
Then the money crowd. Newkirk and Pacelle types. They have a taste of the money. Dont care how they get it. Losing touch with the cause.

Instead of deporting illegal immogrants we need to send a PETAphile to Mexico for each illegal here. I would definately take that trade.
