At Least I Eat Them

Old, but still true.

So here’s the deal.  Every time anyone outside of PETA does anything to harm an animal, they risk the wrath of PETA.  Notice I said anyone “outside,” because apparently harming animals from inside PETA is no problem.  I knew they were hypocritical because one of their head honchos uses insulin from pigs, but AOL News reports that the hypocrisy much bigger than that.

According to their findings, 97% of the animals brought to PETA headquarters are euthanized.  97%!  Are you kidding me?  This adds up to 2,301 dogs and cats.  I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure that is a lot more animals than are killed to go on my plate every year.  One of PETA’s supposed goals is the total liberation of animals.  I didn’t realize that meant liberating them from life.

And one more thing, at least the animals killed for my food become food.  The animals PETA euthanizes end up doing no good at all.

    Fuck PETA, hypocritical assholes. They want to push the equality of animals to humans (which is fine by me) and then euthanize the lot of them? Holy shit, what if we just euthanized everyone injured or left homeless in the Haiti earthquake? That would be fucked up.

    Ugh. What really disgusts me is that so many people donate to an organization without any knowledge of where their money goes to. PETA? Advertising and salaries, because it’s pretty obvious it’s not going to saving or even helping domesticated animals. Pardon me for eating some meat, adopting animals from local non-profit shelters, and donating money to organizations that actually help something other than themselves.

    Sure would be. They care more about animals than people. You think the animals care about us?

Unvegan Top 20 for 2011

‘Tis the season for “Best of the Year” lists, so I thought I would join the party and put in my top 20 new restaurants from 2011.  By the way, this means the restaurants were new to me, not new to LA.  Please note that I am only including meals in the Los Angeles area.  As much as I loved the food on my travels, you can check any of those places out pretty quickly by clicking here.  So, without further caveat, here’s the best that 2011 had to offer for the unvegan:

20.  Cobras and Matadors

This tapas place in Mid-City is everything tapas should be.  From bacon-wrapped dates to a variety of cheeses, there is really something for anyone looking for a delicious meal.  Just beware, while tapas can be kept to a moderate price, when you throw a big group in with small plates, there are bound to be some people who don’t get their money’s worth.  But keep the group small and Cobras and Matadors will send you home full and happy.

19.  Steingarten

Dishing out delicious sausages, including a few of the exotic variety, Steingarten also offers up a pretty stellar beer selection.  If you’ve ever wanted to eat alligator in sausage form, Steingarten won’t disappoint, but they also serve a wider range of foods, including some pretty delicious burgers.  Their sausage execution, though, could use a bit of improvement, which pushed another sausage joint further up on the list.
