Berkeley butcher shop puts up sign to quell animal rights protests
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | August 9, 2017 | By Otis R. Taylor Jr.

To get protesters to leave the Local Butcher Shop alone, the Berkeley meat market’s owners agreed to promote an animal rights message.

Now, in the upper left corner of one of the store’s front windows, there’s a 15-inch-by-15-inch sign. In white letters on a black background, it reads: “Attention: Animals’ lives are their right. Killing them is violent and unjust, no matter how it’s done.”

In exchange for putting up the sign, Direct Action Everywhere, an animal rights group, agreed to protest at the store only twice a year.

Automated protest? Wow.

So I made up a similar sign and demanded that our grocer post in the produce department, near the broccoli:

Attention: Plants’ lives are their right. Killing them is violent and unjust, no matter how it’s done.

They said they’d get back to me.

Reminds me of a friend who rails against cats because they kill things.
She has chickens. Chickens kill bugs.

Meat is murder..delicious, delicious murder.

Who is the bigger sell out?
#1 The butcher who put up a small sign high up in a widow corner protesting his own business or...

#2 The animal rights nuts who equate the killing of animals to the murder if a human but are cool with it as long as the butcher hangs a sign?

Correct answer is #2.

Liberal lunacy. They won’t be satisfied until all conservatives and all meat eaters leave California. Then they’ll find something else to whine about.

I put up a sign too if I were them.

Attention: Killing an animal decreases the chances that the protesters out front will find a sex partner this weekend. They seem to prefer sheep so we recommend buying beef, chicken, or pork to help them avoid sexual frustration. We do sell lamb and will special order mutton if you insist.

Why does she have chickens? Does she rip away the newborn from their mothers and eat them?

He should keep all his left over meat scraps in a sealed barrel, then unseal it on the sidewalk the days they protest.

ATTENTION: Agriculture destroys the natural environment by eliminating the natural diversit of plants and animals. Eating Meat helps plants because grazing animals improve plant and soil health and diversity.

Quick note: If she only has chickens, those eggs aren’t exactly ‘newborn’.

The equivalent of a SOUL BROTHER sign in the window fifty years ago.
