PETA is balls of fun

The cockroach-sensitive group known as the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is claiming victory in the NBA's adoption of the so-called "cruelty-free" synthetic basketball, the one causing so much fuss among the players this month. PETA's back-slapping celebration could be as whimsical as its purported role in the basketball switch. David Stern has noted the outcry of the players and says he is open to returning to the cow-made leather basketball, regardless of PETA's appeal to save the skin of the cow. Not that the absence of the leather basketball in the NBA is apt to save a cow.

So PETA is behind this. I guess the NFL will switch next.

Maybe we'll see Nerf balls in the Super Bowl.

Are they gonna make me give up my spotted owl burgers? My snail darter soup? My dolphin ka-bobs?

[Paine's Ghost]

I was a vegetarian for 11 years(strictly for health reasons) but began eating meat because people started associating me with these idiots!

[Froufrou]

This is soooo stoopid! As if they would use only the cowskin for only basketballs and waste everything else, get no steaks or roasts or milk or cheese. Sheesh.

Good for you. Besides, I believe that saturated animal fats are essential to good health.

PETA rarely lets these real-life facts get in the way of a humane solution.

This statement implies that PETA has let reason outweigh lunacy in at least one circumstance. This is one of the nuttiest and most dangerous groups in existence, ranking right up there with the NEA and the ACLU. Just in case anyone at PETA is wondering, I am taking my kids deer hunting for the youth only weekend of October 28 & 29. How's that taste, PETA?!!!!!

PETA also seems to be terribly concerned about the well-being of cockroaches...

I always they used the skins of cows that were already dead.

Peta opposes the use of Silk because the silkworm pupae get boiled alive in their cocoons during the silk harvesting process.

You haven't lived 'til you've had condor.

[RichInOC]

I thought this was going to be about a "Rocky Mountain oyster" festival.

[Sergio]

I guess PETA has decided to give the NBA a pass on all of the players LEATHER shoes.

[The Blitherer]

PETA: "Lobsters are people too!"

[J_Baird]

Peta also believes that honey and honey products should be banned because bee-keepers are enslaving bees.

LOL! Good one!

[Fatuncle]

Actually, I have heard from "sources" that cannibalism tops condor. But I ashamed to admit that I have talked to a Democrat, so I won't name the source.
