Giving Vegans and Vegetarians Everywhere A Bad Name

PETA seems hell bent on making themselves into the butt of all jokes. They have people working overtime in this endeavor. Either that or they have decided "any publicity is good publicity" and "I don't care what you say, just spell my name right".

Today LeeAnn linked to the first PETA related public relations idiocy. Go read it - especially if you need a laugh.

Then blogless friend Mirmie sends this gem.  Yes folks, they have gone completely and utterly insane.

An animal rights group wants organizers of Pennsylvania's Groundhog Day festival to replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robotic stand-in.

I know a few vegetarians and vegans.  They seem to be sensible people.  I know people who subsist on a diet of ding dongs and soda.  And others who try not to touch carbs even with a 10 foot pole.  I have no issue with anyone's diet as long as they let me eat what I want to eat.

PETA thinks they know what's best for everyone and they want to be in charge of what you eat.  I wonder what they'd say if I decided I wanted to be in charge and I insisted everyone had to eat steak at least once a day! 

Wouldn't they have a cow over that... so to speak.

If you'll excuse me, in honor of these two delightful media excursions PETA has made today, I'm headed to my kitchen to get a chuck roast cooking in my slow cooker.  It should be an excellent meal.  I'll drink a toast to PETA while I'm eating it and thank them for the reminder that it was time to get dinner started.
