PETA is getting pretty ridiculous.

by Nick Van Excellent on Nov 3, 2009 5:49 PM PST reply actions

getting?

they’ve been pulling these publicity stunts for years. and why not? they work, because people keep giving them publicity

How did you guys win that?

Which is sad because all the real animal lovers are marginalized

How so?

The only way you get marginalized is if you allow it.

And if you feel that PETA is marginalizing real animal lovers (or perhaps a better term would be reasonable animal lovers), then maybe you should put forth the effort to put PETA in it’s proper place.

(for me, that place would be as a source of “long pig” that’s processed ans shipped to hungry people around the world.)

Did you hurt your arm patting yourself on the back?

BTW, totally agree, those comments make my eyes bleed….

by Rudiculous on Nov 4, 2009 12:30 AM PST up reply actions

Had to ice it for twenty minutes afterwards.

Got to keep that arm in back-patting shape you know.

The comments are amazing...

pathetic.it’s a TINY bat! and regardless of size to just slam it like that was sick.would it be okay if a baby ran onto the court and he slammed the baby?why is a human life regarded with SO much respect and a non human’s so disposable?especially when humans do the most destruction to eachother, other species and the planet than any other creation..I would not be okay with this loser slamming a baby, an innocent grown adult or a bat it is all one in the same.
and people who do not realize this are missing a big part of their souls.

Really? Comparing a baby to a bat? Really?

And if millions of babies where killed by wild animals every year, would we say that it’s just nature?

Manu said he felt bad about the bat situation “because they are a great part of our ecosystem.” He also had to get a rabies shot, which is apparently a very painful series of nine injections.

He's got to get a series of rabies shots

Something like 4 shots on each of four visits.

I think we know for sure now that he didn't kill the bat

If so, he wouldn’t have to get the Rabies shots.

Even vegetarians like me hate PETA

They are a bunch of overreacting idiots who try to sensationalize everything. Even those of us who are vegetarian or vegan can’t stand PETA. They are such a waste of space and hurtful to the REAL animal rights cause.

I am stealing this from someone else, not sure where from though...

But someone should tell PETA supporters to stop washing their hands, it kills germs…

I heard PETA was against chlorinating drinking water....

because it kills innocent little fecal coliforms… think about the fecal coliforms, they have souls too. Would you chlorinate a baby to death.

Oh man!

I just died laughing at your comment! Almost literally.

If there were a half of million people watching the game

And if the game was delayed for just 12 minutes, thats like 100,000 man hours lost! Thats totally worth a bat for.

"there are plenty of easy ways to keep bats out of a basketball arena"

Which probably explains why this is the first time this has ever happened. Like who writes this garbage/

We're all murderers.

I can’t count how many ants, spiders, slugs, and various other insects I must have stepped on without knowing.

But there is that humming bird I brought down with a BB gun as a young teenager. But isn’t that what BB guns are for anyways? You get one as a kid and you go outside and kill things. I tried to bring down a cow but to no avail. My cousin and I must have shot him 15 times a piece at around 30 feet away but we gave up when we figured we needed to be at close range and neither of us were wanting to touch the electric fence.

The more I think about it, hunting actually sounds like a lot of fun. I’ve never gone before but that might have to change here real soon. Just need to get myself a tactical assault rifle, a hunting license, and think I’d be good to go for next season.
