PETA: Won't somebody please think of the cockroaches?

MasaFACE · 09-25-2006, 09:31 AM

Jesus, they are only roaches. They should be doing other stuff, like hosting events to collect money to help stop deforestration.

Is this a joke? Cockroaches aren't sentient. They aren't close to sentient. They're ****ing bugs. They don't deserve "rights." PETA doesn't realize that these people are EATING the roaches. Killing organisms to eat them is a fact of nature and is almost constant. You don't get something from nothing. You need to eat something you kill or has been killed to survive. Period. It's food.

MasaFACE · 09-25-2006, 09:37 AM

Plus you eat like, 10 odd spiders a year. And you don't hear PETA complaining. But when it comes to eating something while you are awake, then they whine.

Edit: ^ This above post made no sense. :P

Have they gone after Fear Factor yet?

I don't think so, but the American Humane Association has.

You can live a healthy life without eating meat.

I love eating animals. <3

Mikhail Gorbachev · 09-25-2006, 02:37 PM

Bomby, plants are living things. In that post I never said I was referring solely to meat. I mean, you have to kill SOMETHING to survive. Be it a carrot or a chicken, it's essentially the same action.

***Ace Mercury*** · 09-25-2006, 05:07 PM

I bet if PETA headquarters was infested with cockroaches, they'd hire a fumigator.

Oops, sorry. I apologize for taking your words out of context.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 09-25-2006, 07:27 PM

Er, yeah. Let's say I was drunk when I typed that. Nevermind.

***CaptHayfever*** · 09-26-2006, 01:18 AM

PETA gets upset about people who cough near animals, so pardon me for not giving a flip about what upsets them anymore.

That makes sense; putting Fear Factor on the air is inhumane already.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
