PETA Protests Fish Fry Fundraiser
Newkirk Steamed over Fried Fish
July 27, 2007 (Alaska)
PETA President Ingrid Newkirk is steamed about a fundraising slogan for an anti-capital punishment campaign that reads, “Fry Fish, Not People.”
There was probably smoke coming out of Newkirk’s ears when she heard the slogan that Alaskans Against the Death Penalty are using to raise money. Her organization sent a letter to the anti-death penalty group asking that it adopt a new motto - “Fry Onions, Not People.”
PETA’s letter said, “Serving the corpses of animals at an anti-death penalty event is like serving cigarettes at an anti-cancer fundraiser.” It went on to demand that the group also change its menu for an annual fish fry, urging them to serve vegetarian dishes.

Newkirk has a point. One really should fry up some onions along with the fish. I don’t even like onions so much, but the carmelized onion does impart a nice flavor if you stuff a fresh salmon with them. Maybe with some garlic and loads of butter.
I think we all owe Ingrid Newkirk a debt of gratitude. Under her leadership PETA has become such a parody of itself that she’s almost singlehandedly marginalized the entire animal rights movement. Nobody, even in the leftist media, takes them seriously anymore. Stories involving PETA are usually consigned to a “humor” segment.

Wow. Hilarious. Especially funny are the exotic new names donned by Steve Rasmussen and Dixie Deerman. LOL

Well, if we don’t get some more rain here soon,they aren’t going to have to worry about us frying any fish!!! We just plain won’t have any!
Don’t know how it is in your neck of the woods... we had some rain this last week, but are still way low.
"Who cares what you people think? You're vegetarians!"
Rats. Missed it. What kind of wood/charcoal did she use?
