PETA looking to Ban Fishing

As PETA now turn their attentions to angling, I thought I would post for all to read an article that has recently appeared on a couple of forums in the South:

Call for the Protection of Vegetables

'Vegetables' have feelings!!

PETA and other such animal rights organisations promote the use of violence against Hunt Supporters and now, Anglers to put across their belief that angling is a cruel sport. Now is this not a contradiction of those belief's, using violence as a means to an end!

Most of these organisations are vegetarian / vegan driven and motivated, they consider that no living animal should be harmed, killed for food or used in anyway for the production of material in the food chain or cosmetics. They sometimes don't see beyond the cute little faces of most animals and have little regard for what criminal acts they undertake in pursuit of their means. So I suppose it is OK for a cow to have a mechanical cup jammed on its udders twice a day for most of its life to provide milk, which must also hurt, is that seen by these organisations as cruel - hardly, or do they consider the feelings of other living entities.......

What about the poor defenseless vegetable, I say!!

How do these people know that the apple, orange, the humble sprout, or the carrot, doesn't have feelings. Their it is; minding its own business, sitting in a nice warm compost bed with lots of other little carrots, being fed on nutrients, fishmeal, dried Ox blood, cow sh*t and other chemicals to make it grow big and strong, and then one day this bloody great big hand comes down from above without warning, grabs it by the leafy stem (Hair) and yanks it from its home (Breaking it's roots) and family to satisfy a bunch of vegetarians or vegans. These poor vegetables are then stripped naked with a sharp blade, have their eyes cut out, they have their head shaven by those who eat them raw or they cut them into strips and drop them into boiling oil, or place them in a vessel over a flame steaming them until they scold to death. Some are placed in a metal container and boiled alive, whilst constantly having someone poke them with the point of a sharp knife. Its horrible, mans inhumanity to his fellow planet dweller!!!!

Now once these carrots, other vegetables or fruits are plucked from their homes, you can't put them back its just not possible; you cant use super glue, sticking plaster or string, the damage has been done, irreversible and will often; if not already savagely eaten, lead to a horrible death from, wilting, mold, rotting from the inside out and finally decay, to which end they are cast onto a hemp at the bottom of the garden, where the outer clothing and skins of other vegetables lie, some still kicking and screaming with limbs missing..............

Some apples are treated even worse being taken in their thousands to a huge building and there crushed between massive steal rollers into a pulp; horrible I know but I must go on, and then if this was not enough they are squash between large wooden planks until their body fluids are drained from their remains and all that is left is a mash of body parts and skin, which in an act of finally humiliation are fed to Pigs.

How can these people live with themselves if it wasn't cruel enough to eat some of these vegetables and fruits alive, they place the defenseless things and such alike in a cold cupboard called a fridge where temperatures are just above freezing without a coat or surf, and the next part is too shocking to tell but I have to, they sometimes place them in air tight plastic bags; suffocating them, and then put them in a freezer where the temperature is so low it makes their little bodies go all stiff and lifeless.

Potato's are taken from their homes, subjected to a wash in cold water, have their hairs shaven, eyes cut out, pierced through their outer skin with a sharp point and placed on a baking tray. They are then offered a nice place to dry out, only to be put into a hot oven to die slowly. Some are so badly burnt their skin splits under the immense heat.

These vegetarian and vegans let their children play a viscous game with potato's, called 'Mr. Potato Head', where children stick false lips, noses, ears, eyes, a hat and a moustache, all with spikes attached into the potato. How can it be fun to place a sharp point into the skin of a potato time and time again and even more cruel to throw it back into the vegetable rack only to do the same the next day, the day after and the day after that.

I believe vegetables and fruits have feelings; if not someone prove me scientifically and in the eye's of GOD wrong (All living things); and they have a right to live without persecution from mindless individuals and groups of aggressive fanatics, too.

Beware the Worm, it has been known to turn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It just goes to show that anyone can talk a load of old b*ll*cks.

A PETA supporter once said to me, and this is quite true, that anything with eyes and ears need protection from exploitation by mankind. I agreed and then asked about corn, having ears, and potatoes, having eyes?

Some vegetarians don't eat meat because they reckon its cruel to kill animals.

Many of them eat cheese.

Have they ever looked at cheese under a microscope?

Thousands of mites and other tiny organisms!

....and these cheese nibblers eat them ALIVE

Doesn't worry me tho'

I'm having Cropwell Bishop Shropshire Blue for lunch - pass the biscuits Norma.

Cropwell Bishop Shropshire Blue

Souds like a rare breed of pig to me. Hope you have large biscuits

How can you eat that stuff Vagabond? The port to go with it might be okay but, eurghhhhhh!

Me, a nice bit of Tesco own label mild chedder!!! I've yet to meet a blue cheese that hasn't taken the roof out of my mouth. I have family and friends that are all cheesaholics, their idea of heaven seems to be blue cheese with a visable pulse. I sometimes have to suffer!

Does sound like the official title of "Empress of Blandings" does't it.

...but for pig-eaters I recommend Gloucester Old Spot - put out into the apple orchards for a few weeks before slaughter, to feast on the windfalls, they come with built-in apple sauce. YUM


Peter You should try the Norwegian boiled-milk cheese. It is made as title suggests, then traditionally is allowed to mature in the straw beds that the dairymaids sleep in.

I have tried some (I'm talking cheese, not dairymaids demon )

I don't think their dairymaids change their bedding often.....

sum people have nothing better to do so thay upset other people.
i do not see what is wrong with eating meat we don it for........well as long as we have been on this Earth and its not going to stop now.
As for fish, evything can feel pain,do plants?
sum plants move (venus fly trap)do they feel pain?
Just because a hook in the mouth is very painful for us don,t mean it's very painful for fish,
they are very different from us.
my wife thinks shes a vege but she eats fish,eggs and drinks milk.

Scientists once checked to see if plants have feelings and attached potentiometers and other such paraphenalia to the leaves of plants, when the cut the plant standing next to the test subject the meters went haywire, the tenuous conclusion being that plants are aware of their surroundings and showed 'horror' and 'fear' at the fate of their colleagues...........daft sounding I know but I kid you not.

Best if all the "anti's" give up ALL food and ALL drink . . . forever!

The whole cheese thread cracked me up. I prefer to have a nice block of sharp chedder.

But as I said in an earlier thread concerning this matter. I feel sportsmen do more for the environment such as habitat restoration and sound fish and wildlife management which other wise would go unchecked. Most environmental groups are supported by sportsmen (hunters and fishermen). Without them most of the wood lots would be paved over and rivers damed for power generation. I haven't heard about any anti group getting together to clean up a river or plant a food plot for wintering wildlife. All ya here is about them protesting this and that, what good comes out of that?
