Angering Pet Lovers Everywhere

For the Love of Pigs
I continue to hold forth that PETA has no connection to reality. They especially don’t understand the crucial role of the farmer and his implements (animals) in bearing the burden of feeding the world. Most recently PETA is crying foul because a pig castration was performed as part of an agriculture class. Folks, that’s just life.

I suppose the class could’ve followed an Israeli zoo’s recent example. Zoo tenders put an over-fertile female giraffe on birth control last week because they simply have no more room. You can believe that wasn't cheap.

All Rodents & Insects Created Equal?
You know at some point you can take the whole animal rights thing way too far. I just wonder if PETA preaches against (love that A/P vernacular) exterminators. I mean, think about it. Technically, if you protest hunting and fishing but then have an exterminator spray your house/workplace with chemicals to basically “gas” any insects, you’re showing favoritism and preferential treatment to animals based on prejudices. So I think it would be hypocritical of PETA to protest extermination. In which case, I vote we capture all the little critters normally killed by exterminators and deliver them to the PETA headquarters so they can all live in one big happy world together.
