Fledgling Fyora Nelis Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Quote: If you can watch a featherless, beak-less, wretch of a bird struggle helplessly for its life as someone squeezes its brains through its eye-sockets, and still feel comfortable eating it, then go ahead, but please don't pretend like it isn't common practice. Hmm. Considering the pretty weak bonestructure of birds the quick squeezing out of brain matter might actually be a rather humane method of killing them. Don't confuse your disgust with the inside of bodies with a morally or physiologically important fact. Consider this, how would you rather die, pain wise. In a gas chamber, by lethal injection, or by an anvil dropping on your head from 10 stories up? X should work in a slaughter house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 PETA really needs to back off the seal hunt in Canada. If the seals weren't so cute I doubt there would be as much fabricated controversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 would you say... they're harping on the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Two minutes for punning. EDIT: Also our Governor General is so badass she jabs her hand into baby seals, rips out their still beating hearts, and eats them raw. So I think we know where the government stands on this issue. (Exaggerating only slightly for the above.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I wonder how still beating baby harp seal heart tastes. Both fresh, and cooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Even many Canadians don't realize that when the Governor General presides over the ritual opening of Canadian parliament, the 'Speech from the Throne' is just the prelude. The culmination is when she lowers the live baby seals into the lava pit, while holding their beating hearts in her hands. The moment the hearts burst into flame, Parliament is officially open. Hey, it's less barbaric than primaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody waterplant Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ha! Caught you Canadians! I knew there was something more to Canada than meets the eye and you prove it. Weird Al is right - 'time for a pre-emptive strike' indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 This issue should be included in all Club Club Baby Seals seals. —Alorael, who assumes any worthwhile wildlife club has a seal. Preferably a large and imposing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Thaluikhain Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 No-one has mentioned sea-kittens? PETA decided that people wouldn't eat fish if they had a cute sounding name, so they "officially" renamed them. Also, the "technical" name for caviar is "sea kitten babies". http://www.peta.org/sea_kittens/ Now, I must admit I didn't have much respect for them before this, but that's just...what?

Kyshakk Koan Monroe Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I went to the "create your own" sea-kitten section and as I was sorting through the different fish you can chose, but the only thing I could think of was how delicious each variety was. Mmm, swordfish, oh yeah, fresh mahi mahi, that's the stuff. But then when I got to the part where you dress them up, and I put a lion mane, sunglasses, biker beard and princess dress on my poor fish, I couldn't help but feel like the whole process was unnecessarily cruel. Those guys at PITA are pretty sick, dressing up those poor fish like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila Chidar_K_ Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Lol the campaign just tries to point out the supposed equality of all animals by creating a humorous analogy with cats and fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Aaahhh! There's a bug on my screen! *attempts to squash* Hmm... are insects equal to mammals according to PETA? Have they petitioned to ban repellent yet for denying mosquito's one of their most natural food sources? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Heh. We stopped calling our fishing trips ... fishing trips, and instead called them kitten slaughter fests. It didn't work, so we went back to ignoring PETA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yeah, that tiny bug avatar is pretty good. It has one funny glitch frame with a big yellow grid, though, that kind of spoils the effect. One advantage of PETA's idea is that it makes it possible to say a lot about Japan in just three words.

Unflappable Drayk Marlenny Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I believe it has to do with the browsers. For me, it works fine when using Firefox, but it has the weird yellow grid when with Safari. Regardless, me likes my new avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
