I read an article a while ago about PETA and its practices. While the content of the article escapes me, there was one quote from a farmer that has stuck with me from that day that I find hilarious. I don't know if he was being serious when he said it or was making a joke, but I think it's perfect.
He said, "If god didn't want us eating animals, then why are they made out of meat?"
I'm imagining PETA interviewing a fish. The fish is wearing a sling on one fin, an eye patch, and is on crutches, detailing its harrowing experience to the fawning members of PETA. Someone in the crowd saying, "There must be something we can do about this....I know! Make a comic book."
I wonder if, in their zeal to print all those comics, they even for one second took into consideration how those trees felt being dismembered and ripped from their forest-y homes just so they could tell us how mean our daddies are.
I would like to remind PETA and their families that trees have feelings too. Hell, they even cry. Look at all that sap.
