I remember being up at the lake house at Eufaula and running to Wally World for something.... There was a brand spanking new absolutely spotless silver from hell Mercedes 'jeep' ($100k+) parked alone waaaaay back in the parking lot where you would walk for a while to get to the front door..... I thought that funny....
I was tempted to pick up an area phone in there to announce over the store intercom something like "several buzzards had just shit all over the silver Mercedes G sitting out in the parking lot...." just to see who would be running like hell out the front door.....
PETA has always seemed to be yet another one of those orgs that attracts people who are essentially misanthropic, but who wish to gild their contemptuous attitude towards humanity in general in a manner that (in their minds) lends them a sort of moral authority to render their twat-like pronouncements and justifies their contempt...
...as if the tactic itself is effective somehow, and as if they can bring about some physical change over human beings by the force of their opinions alone.
I shrug. They remind me of guys robbing banks in the name of "The Revolution", who then go on to spend the dough on themselves.
All that having been said, I've never had anybody from PETA come walking up to me to try and fuck with me about anything at all.
They're mostly a media-play kind of outfit. Lots of mouth, but that's about it.
re: PETA as an organization, I was done with them when the news story broke that they made fun of Rudy Giuliani's prostate cancer when they were running a campaign where they tried to tie milk consumption to cancer
Vegetarians (I am) tend to have these arguments, even with each other, that whatever they're doing to "save the animals" isn't good enough. They actually have a term for those type of people now, thanks to the Woke movement. If nothing is ever good enough for someone, they're considered a Woke-Scold (I'm sure I didn't use that right and some Zoomer will be along to correct me...).
