Just wait. Some nut cases will start proposing plant and vegetable “rights.”

I love to tie the emoting morons in a knot with what I like to call the "PETA Paradox". Ingrid Newkirk, IIRC (and others I'm sure) said "a pig is a rat is a dog is a boy", meaning that there is no moral distinction between us and them. But then they go on to argue that this means we shouldn't eat them, harness them, use fur, etc.

But that's a paradox. The "other animal species" eat each other and otherwise compete for resources. If we're nothing more than another species of animal, that argues in favor of our simply doing our best to be the biggest, baddest species on the block, like all the others do.

So they say we're no different, then use that to tell us to behave in a way that doesn't make sense unless we're fundamentally different. They can't even get their own orthodoxy to make coherent sense.

I already practice that. I eat meat because I can't stand the thought of the ears being ripped off corn, the eyes gouged from innocent potatoes, and the needless whipping of cream and eggs.

Never thought of that.

A quick look at the First Lady’s posterior would indicate that she is not a vegetarian.

Unless she eats her body weight in vegetables on a daily basis!

From what I hear, she has crabs. Oh...sorry, I was just corrected — it’s lobsters.

Want to have fun with someone who thinks “a rat is a fish is a dog is a boy”? Tell them, “If I’m no different than, say, a wolf, then as long as wolves kill and eat cattle, I can enjoy this nice juicy beefsteak, too.”

Crabs or lobsters...

I’m sure she’s ordering the “all you can eat” selection!

Yes, but, but, but, the wolf doesn’t get to use a grill and Montreal steak seasoning, so none for you!

Well, I suppose she could eat lobster and still have crabs.
