Segacs's World I Know

I nearly forgot. Luckily, Meryl reminded me. I had chicken for lunch, so I guess I participated.

By the way, for anyone interested in why I support this day, or why I hate PETA so much, read this.

The website www.petakillsanimals.com was promoted on a billboard that I walked by at least a dozen times this week while in New York. I admit, it worked, because it stuck in my head and I went to check it out.

The site is run by a group that seems to be a thinly-disguised cover for the meat industry. Despite this, it is actually good for a laugh. In particular, see the lawsuit fabricator game and the cartoons page.

Someone should let them know about International Eat an Animal for PETA Day.

Meryl has the scoop on the 3rd annual International Eat an Animal for PETA day:

In honor PETA’s continuing prevarications, and constant annoyance, we once again urge our readers to do what pisses them off the most: Eat meat on International Eat an Animal for PETA Day, March 15th.

[ . . . ]

Remember, nothing says “Eff you, PETA” like a yummy cow dinner. Mm. Cow.

Of all the self-righteous annoying pains in the world, PETA are some of the worst. I will happily eat some sort of poultry on March 15th (which is a week from Tuesday), and I encourage you to do the same.

Meryl has declared today the International Eat an Animal for PETA day. She started the day last year in response to PETA’s disgusting ad campaign comparing eating meat to the slaughter of six million Jews during the Holocaust. That’s low even for the nutbags at PETA and there’s been an overwhelming call to reprise the day this year.

I approve. I have nothing against vegetarians, but the wingnuts over at People Eating Tasty Animals (er, PETA) are the exception. Don’t want to eat meat? Fine. But shut up about it. PETA, on the other hand, is so obsessed with respect for animals that they have lost all respect for humans. Besides the aforementioned ad campaign, there was also the lovely incident where PETA decided that suicide bombings are OK as long as no donkeys are harmed, or the really classy tactic of telling children their mommy is an animal-killer for wearing fur, by approaching kids at performances of the Nutcracker and handing them flyers.

So I plan to go home after work and have a nice tasty chicken dinner in honour of IEAPD. ‘Course, I probably would’ve done that anyway. But somehow I think it’ll taste better, since I’ll know that it’s in honour of pissing off PETA.
