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?

Going Global at Plan Check

Fries of the world.

A couple of weeks ago, The Backyard Bite invited me to The Burger Culture Clash, sponsored by Stussy (which apparently still exists) and Plan Check. Plan Check, by the way, is a sort of new (since February) restaurant in West LA with Chef Ernesto Uchimura of Umami Burger fame. As my love of burgers, especially those of the umami variety, I jumped at the opportunity.

Although I arrived alone, I was not the only lone eater. Just next to where I was seated, I met e*star LA and we decided to share a meal called loneliness, because it’s better than eating alone. We made quick friends over our respective blogs and Midwestern roots, then got to work at dissecting the special menu, which Plan Check will be featuring for the next month if anything tickles your fancy.
