Veggie Vent No. 2

Ahhh... yes. Now I understand. Look at this headstone that an avid member of PETA put next to Colonel Sanders' grave.

Yeah... Let me tell you. That is pure fucking art. Thank you Matt Prescott for making my transition into veganism that much easier. ASSHOLE! Have we learned nothing from fucking civil disobedience? No one gets anything accomplished being a giant obnoxious douche bag! And the fucking comments after this post was made.
"kelly: i completely agree with you! animals are more important than some sentimentalities concerning graveyards! torturing an animal to death is worse than anything else! there are people on this blog which i doubt if they really are for animal protection or just distracting the people - as for example welcoming antibloggers for 'enlightening' discussions!"
"This is a great idea of a courageous personality - I shall do one for myself also!"

"This is so kick ass! Well done.................!"

"This isn't supposed to bring educational awareness in the same way that a piece of literature would. This is just meant to bring awareness. Period.
You have to admit, it's different. Different gets attention.
This is meant to just provide an opening for what should become an educational conversation regarding KFC's cruelty. (Did you hear what Peta did today...)
Having this on a grave doesn't bother me one bit...
This gave me an idea! When I die, I'll make sure there is something on my stone regarding animal cruelty. Being against animal cruelty has defined so much of my life and so much of my person, there is no reason why I shouln't have something on there regarding that.
Thanks for the idea!"
And the list goes on. You have got to fucking be shitting me. Applauding this bullshit. This will bring awareness alright. Awareness that vegans and vegetarians and animal rights activists are a bunch of fucking disrespectful assholes. Do these people live in a fucking cave? America is not a country full of people that will look at this and go, "Wow, this guy really has a point." I mean what would happen if fucking Martin Luther King just walk up to the leader of the KKK, whip out his dick and piss on his robe and say, "That's for mistreating my people."? In whatever fucked up dream world this assholes live in, the leader of the KKK would have gone, "Oh ok... Dude, I'm sorry. My bad, yo. Hey guys, cut those n*****s... I mean, fellow human beings we were planning on lynching down from that tree; I made a mistake. Oopsie!"

NO. He would have fucking filled his face full of lead and then looked at all African Americans as dirty, disrespectful people that don't know what a toilet is, giving them another reason to hate. When people look upon a group negatively, they go to great measures to find more reasons to hate them. People don't view animal rights activists as level-headed, intelligent beings who just want to get out there, spread the word and raise awareness. They see them as out of control extremists spewing out bull shit propaganda that they fictionalized based upon one or two instances. Doing things like this adds disrespectful to the list.

It's funny because when I tell some people that I'm being vegan for my health they are often more ok with it than if I was to tell them I was doing it for the animals. How detached from reality are these people? You can spread awareness without being negative or extreme. Having real conversations with people instead of hating might help. I don't know. I don't have the answers. All I know is that this cannot be effective and only gives all of us a bad name.

The thing that pisses me off about PETA is shit like that, as well as their immense lack of perspective. To them, having a pet is akin to slavery, and someone who eats at KFC apparently likes to munch on Jewburgers as well, because you know, Colonel Sanders is just like Dr Mengelev, except with chickens, not people. And they're really fucking insistent that i sign their stupid petitions when I'm in line at a concert. I asked the guy if he was doing anything about the genocide in Darfur, his answer? "I dunno what that is." What the fuck.

Also, cruelty free meat is kind of funny to think about. Do they slaughter the cattle as they are having sex? You know, so they can die doing what they enjoy. I know its just that they sedate the animal first, but what if instead they only killed cows that had rich, rewarding lives. Or cows that the other cows don't like. Who knows. I don't even know what the fuck I'm babbling on about.
