The Hypocrisy of PETA

Don't get me wrong, I am against any kind of animal violence. And I really despise people that mistreats animals. I also don't eat 'exotic' animals. That's just stupid.

But

I eat animals in these forms: Beef, Pork and Poultry. They are tasty. They provide adequate sustenance and nutrition. I like them broiled, sauteed, stewed or fried. Ask me why? I say, 'Why the heck not?'.

If you are against animal cruelty, better donate or join other organizations other than the hypocritical and mostly crazy people that are collectively called PETA.

If you're a PETA member, better follow your founder and have yourself strerilized.
