And Away They Go....

Here is another rant about who sucks. This time I’m taking aim at PETA. Yes the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Now I’m not saying I like seeing animals killed for fun. But I do have a problem with some of their actions that they take to get their point across. Some of their stunts are totally off the wall. My first point is them throwing red paint on people who wear fur. Now I do agree that fur isn’t a good thing for fashion, but to ruin someone’s coat just because you don’t like what they’re wearing is stupid. So if I take that into consideration then I should do the same thing for people who can’t match their socks with their skirts or pants. My second point is that they wanted the historic Green Bay Packers to change their name because they were named after a meat packing industry. IT’S A NAME PEOPLE! Just because they were named after an industry that was the staple of that area and was a source of jobs for many, you want their named changed? Oh and they hated the name “cheese heads” because cheese come from cows. Yeah, that’s what I thought too. Now what set this off is the situation at the Kentucky Derby. If you didn’t know already, the horse Eight Belles, broke two ankles after the race was finished, and had to be put down right there on the track. Was it a horrible thing that happened? Yes. But should the jockey be at fault? No. PETA clams that the jockey pushed Eight Belles to hard and knew that the horse was hurt before the race. Now they want to have the jockey suspended. Also jockeys probably love the horses that they ride on more the PETA loves rats. Ok now here are the facts: Each horse has to go through an exam before they could race and the doctors CLEARED Eight Belles to race. The jockey had nothing to do with the horse getting hurt. The horse was coming to a stop then just keeled over. Also jockeys can tell when there is something wrong with the horses during a race. And they’re riding at a high rate of speed. I don’t think that they would push their horses that hard just to get thrown off and trampled. Does PETA do some good things? Yes they do. But do they do things that just make you scratch your head? Oh hell yes. You know what just to make them mad I’m going to order a steak for dinner. Bon appetit’.
