The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

"Once again, black people are being pimped. You used us. You have used us enough," Esdaile said. "Take it down immediately." New Haven Register.com

You said it! PETA is at their old tricks again, comparing this time the slaughter of livestock to lynching and murder of blacks, and the tattooing of a monkey used for experimentation to the tattoos placed on Jewish people in Nazi concentration camps.

PETA should be ashamed. Mind you, PETA did apologize with the likes of "sorry for the pain we caused but we are still right to have done so". Whoops, wrong quote, here is the proper quote from the story "PETA apologized in May for the hurt it caused but stood by the comparisons." New Haven Register.com Weird that PETA apologies in May, but started this tour in June. Obviously, something is fishy here with the story or PETA’s apology.

PETA, here’s some friendly advice. People do not equal animals. I doubt the majority of people truly believe that a human life is the equivalent of an animal. If PETA compares the suffering of people to animals, especially those done by the evils of society, do they honestly not expect a backlash? Of course PETA does expect a hostile response, and this is yet another publicity stunt. Hence I put the quote at the top of this entry. The NAACP is completely correct that PETA is using the historic suffering of black people for their own self promotion. Disgusting!

I’ve often asked myself some questions about those who share PETA’s beliefs. Are insects not an animal too? Do PETA people walk on grass for fear they may crush an insect? Do PETA people let mosquitoes suck their blood without swatting them so they are not injured? Are only certain types of animals considered worthy of protection?

I grew up on a farm, and I’ve seen it all. While personally I don’t believe that animals should suffer needlessly, I do enjoy a good steak. I have no problems dicing up some meat for my hamburger, and I’ll eat a chicken fillet any day. The trouble is PETA takes legitimate concern for the treatment of livestock animals and take those legitimate concerns to extremes that most rational people do not follow. Good farmers would never needlessly subject their animals to any pain.

I eat meat. I will always eat meat. With any luck, I’ll die digesting a good New York peppercorn steak in my stomach.
