P.E.T.A. (no, not People Eating Tasty Animals ) is a radical animal-rights group that is determined to change the world population’s behavior in regards to food. You’ll remember them as the terrorists that like to throw red food coloring on celebrities that are so animal-rights-denying as to be wearing fur coats, and the group that on its website equates the slaughter of chickens in the Arkansas chicken farms with the killing of the Jews by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Clearly, these folks have some issues they need to work on — like getting a real life!

But, that would be oh, so, bourgeoisie, so pedestrian — not to mention, “What would happen to all those poor little animals?” Well, I’ve got a grill and a stew pot, if that’s any indication of what kind of mindset I’m working with here. Still, I think they have every right to think feel the way they do in regards to themselves and their own behavior, and they can eat fruits, nuts, spouts and veggies exclusively until they waste away to a bony twig for all I care — hey, it’s their right to do so, as long as they leave me and my fellow carnivores alone.

And there’s the rub. You see, like all good Liberal Fascists everywhere, the PETA folk truly don’t believe that those who disagree with them, or more precisely, those that don’t agree with them 100% of the time — like Jessica Simpson and the rest o’ us meat-eatin’ folks — don’t have any rights whatsoever . . . None! Zip! Nada!

Alistair Currie, a spokesman for Peta, said: “Jessica Simpson might have a right to wear what she wants, but she doesn’t have a right to eat what she wants – eating meat is about suffering and death.

See the contradiction in that statement. Simpson has the right to wear what she wants — meaning fur??? — but not the right to eat what she wants. I guess they want us all to eat vegetarian faux-chicken at KFC? I don’t think so.

And, get this — they don’t want you being able to buy predator insects at Home Depot either. You know, like a bag of ladybugs or mantis to keep the harmful-destructive insects from destroying your garden. Let’s take a quick stroll through the mind of a typical PETA blogger:

Think this out, y’all: Insects plus confinement to a bag plus scorching summer heat equals a ton of bugs dying slowly from the heat. And hey, even if that logic is over your head, surely you agree that buying a heaping sack of bugs is a pretty messed-up idea, right?

I guess they must like wormy apples — nope, might get some animal protein that way. For the PETA fanatics, bug-selling is such a heinous act that they’ve actually issued an Action Alert — here’s the text of the letter they urge you to send to the management of Home Depot.

I am disappointed to hear that The Home Depot has started selling ladybugs and praying mantises. These animals may be small, but they aren’t disposable merchandise who deserve to be fried to death in the blazing sun. I urge you to do the right thing and immediately stop selling ladybugs and praying mantises and adopt a policy prohibiting the sale of any live animals. Thank you.

Like I wrote earlier, “Get a life!” Now, what will make me feel better, push this Leftist nonsense out of my mind? Hmmmm . . . maybe some o’ this!

Yeah — Meatus Maximus! — that’s definitely the ticket!
