Moooooooo

We've stooped to a new low here, people.

VERMONT -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow's milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman.

PETA's request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow's milk in the food he serves," the statement says.

PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health.

Like all mammals, cows only produce milk during and after pregnancy, so to be able to constantly milk them, cows are forcefully impregnated every nine months. After several years of living in filthy conditions and being forced to produce 10 times more milk than they would naturally, their exhausted bodies are turned into hamburgers or ground up for soup.

PETA, where do you think human breast milk comes from? Pregnant human women. So, to lessen then suffering of cows, we should start forcefully impregnating human women every nine months to keep them "milkable"?

And just what do you propose we do with all the human babies created by this practice? That's a rhetorical question...no need to answer it. We all know what your answer is.

Pure Evil

I am practically speechless here. In case you hadn't heard or read about this story, there was a brutal knife attack and murder on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba, Canada last week...so brutal that the victim was practically decapitated. Eye-witness reports also state that the murderer ate part of the victims flesh.

Tragic. Extremely tragic. The victim was in his early twenties, asleep and minding his own business at the time of the attack. Our hearts have to go out to his family. Just goes to show you that there is pure evil in this world.

Speaking of "pure evil",

In case you can't read the small print on this ad, it says:

"Right now, this exact scenario is reality for many. They are sensitive, they value their lives, they see what is happening, they cannot run away, and they often suffer greatly yet are being killed for nothing more than a fleeting taste of their flesh."

So, in PETA's eyes, the meat industry is no different than the psychopathic lunatic murderer on the Greyhound bus. And the victim is no different than an ordinary cow or pig.

We can debate all we want on whether or not humans should eat meat, since living animals must be killed first. Both sides of the debate make compelling points.

But when you take the gruesome, butchering murder of a human life and use it for your own gain, you've gone too far. How dare you imply that we shouldn't be shocked, upset, and sickened over this violent act of evil! How dare you trivialize the senseless butchering of an innocent human by comparing him to an ordinary cow or pig! How can you even sleep at night after questioning why

...it's a a criminal act to kill and eat our own kind but that it's "OK" to kill every other species but our own and eat them.

PETA, you guys are assholes.
