it comes in pints?

That's interesting...

Via Gullyborg, I learn that the Center for Consumer Freedom has a new associate site, Peta Kills Animals.

Yes, it seems that our little domestic terrorists who think that "a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy", that "animals have the same rights as retarded children", that "chickens are people too!", that "blowing stuff up and smashing windows" is "a great way to bring about animal liberation … I think it would be a great thing if all of these fast-food outlets, and these slaughterhouses, and these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it’s perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows", who compared food animals to the holocaust, that animal rights freaks are the same as abolishionists, that Meat is Murder, has in fact been murdering animals for years. More than 10,000 since 1998.

Why? Because it costs more to care for them than it does to kill them, and they have other financial obligations:

PETA raked in nearly $29 million last year in income, much of it raised from pet owners who think their donations actually help animals. Instead, the group spends huge sums on programs equating people who eat chicken with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting children into the radical animal-rights lifestyle, and intimidating businessmen and their families in their own neighborhoods. PETA has also spent tens of thousands of dollars defending arsonists and other violent extremists.

Yes, those campaigns are expensive. Feeding defenseless animals takes money away from that. Did I forget to mention that PETA claimed a $9,370 tax write-off in 2002 for a giant walk-in freezer? That's an odd purchase for vegans.

So the next time some freak tells you to "celebrate Easter without eggs", ask him why PETA murders more than 80% of the puppies and kitties it takes in.
