PETA’s loser activists, with no lives of their own, in another one of their obscene displays.

McDonald’s world famous [presumably] Happy Meal has received an unwelcome revision from the animal “rights” zealots of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals):

A woman who identified herself as a PETA member and was dressed as a giant chicken hit Ronald McDonald with a vegan custard pie at the “grand” opening of the new McDonald’s in the Hancock Village Shopping Center in Midlothian on Saturday morning.

Despite the clown’s cry of “No pie!“ the plucky protester managed to cream the corporate mascot with the confection before flying the coop, leaving Ronald to change his costume. The protest is part of PETA’s campaign to convince McDonald’s to make reasonable, humane, and basic improvements in the way chickens are killed for its restaurants.

PETA wants McDonald’s to require its suppliers to phase in a less cruel slaughter method called “controlled-atmosphere killing” (CAK), which eliminates some of the worst abuses that birds suffer. McDonald’s suppliers already use CAK in Europe. In 2005, McDonald’s produced a report concurring that CAK offers significant animal welfare benefits over the conventional slaughter method, but the company has not required any of its U.S. suppliers to switch to it.

PETA tactics are almost always despicable and worthy of lawsuits. These are zealots who when they do not receive what they demand believe that the proper answer is not, say, further engagement in an effort to convince or simply recognizing the rights of others to disagree, but blackballing opponents through throwing red paint, tarnishing design stores, public slandering and the always classy pie throwing. PETA is beyond the pale and attracts only low-life animal lovers who cry for hours whenever they see a dead deer on the road.

A caveat: In the this case PETA’s argument against McDonald’s is reasonable. But it will win no converts through its extremist and childish tactics which PETA defends as necessary toward achieve media attention which then highlight PETA’s complaints.

However, most of PETA’s arguments are insane. This is an institution that is opposed to lawn-mowing because of the “rights” of ants and believes that fur is tantamount to murder. They also oppose life-saving research on rats because these zealots believe that a four-year old boy’s life is no better than that of a rat. These people are myopic and misanthropic.

They believe that it is animals that have the right-of-way in the world and humans should simply stay clear. That natural resources must go untapped, property confiscated, construction brought to an end and water pipes stopped all for the benefit of some animal and even more so if said animal is “endangered.”

I cannot exaggerate my contempt for this organization and like minded people. Every time I hear something about PETA I just want to go on a animal-killing rampage just to spite them, and one day I might.

The End. I hate PETA!
