Please. PETA lost credibility with me long ago. I can specifically recall the flap about the vendors in the fish market tossing the fish. It was entertaining and I guess maybe even a tourist draw. But PETA went and said that they were humiliating the fish. Deliberately. As if the fish were going to go home and hang their heads in shame in front of all the other fish. “Hey Phil, you heard huh? Yeah, I got tossed today. Shut up and quit laughing, I may need therapy.” As if. As if the fishermen caught the fish for the sole (HAHAHA! Sole! Get it?) purpose (HAHAHA Again! Porpise? What? Not so much? Ok) of humiliating the fish. The fact that they taste good deep fried or sautéed in butter had nothing to do with it.
The other thing that I think of right away is the fuss over the President having killed a fly. Apparently PETA wants us all to buy catchers so you can humanely release them, and set them free. To carry filth and germs right back into the house.
I don’t know about Phil. How’s his life? Is he happy? Fulfilled? I’d think that PETA’s time would be better spent trying to liberate animals from the circus. That’s a messed up lifestyle that goes against nature. Chained up, forced to do stupid tricks. That, to me is humiliating. I also have seen footage of elephant trainers who actually hurt the animals. That bothers me a lot more than fish at the market or any number of dead flies. And Phil? leave the poor guy alone. Go start taking notes at the circus. HA! They don’t WANT to liberate the elephants I’ll bet. you know why? They have to have a place to put them. The logistics of getting an elephant back to either Africa or India is a nightmare. I saw something about that on either the History Channel or Nat Geo. there is all kinds of red tape involved.
So to make themselves feel better, I guess they’re going to mess with a small towns tourist draw. Nice.
