[W]hen Local Grocer owner Heather Chase put together a class on how to ethically raise and process chickens (naturally, including information on how to slaughter them), and became the target of an animal rights campaign, it probably seemed odd to some onlookers. After all, aren’t the animal rights folks always campaigning against people who don’t ethically raise animals? Why on Earth target a “sustainable,” “beyond organic” operation? Well, for the answer to that, simply refer back to paragraph one: because it’s not about the level of care; in there eyes there is no such thing as “ethical meat.”
The gulf between the folks that think animals are people too, eat tofu,
The folks like moi who think chicken ain’t chicken till it’s lickn’ good fried.
It is huge gap , strange the same folks will sacrifice thousands of birds and bats to windmills that like them produce little of value, irony much?
Maybe there is a country song in here somewhere Kate?
“I wear a wool hat, fancy that!
Ain’t no room on my plate for poo-l-try
I gets my electricity for fr e e e with a 70% su b sidy!

I’ve dated more than a few women who are vegetarians. Most are not the preachy type. Some have even forgotten their “principles” when they’ve had a few drinks and are famished. But having spent most of my life on Canada’s Left Coast, I could easily see a horde of thousands trying to shut down a similar business there. Sad.
If someone wants to be a vegetarian, vegan, or whatever that’s fine by me. It’s a choice that I wouldn’t want taken away from any one. What I would like in return is the same consideration unfortunately that is something the extremists will not give me or anyone else.
You know…this whole problem would be virtually eliminated if we’d just eat the petaphiles instead. I wonder what free range sanctimony tastes like…chicken?
Those that make the decisions at PETA, the very activists themselves, aren’t anything like your “usual” vegetarians or vegans or even people for that matter. They don’t want us to eat meat. They don’t want us to develop. They don’t want us to grow. They are the “500 millioner.” They are the sociopaths in our society.
“There is no such thing as ethical meat” they say, and I say there is no such thing as ethical fruit and vegetables. So the best thing for them would be to cease eating and breathing.
People for the Ethical Regard of Vegetables
• How would you like to be separated from your nether regions, plunged into a boiling cauldron of oil or water and then eaten?
• How would you like to have your genitalia cut off and used to decorate churches, houses and the bosoms of human females?
• How would you like to have your unborn children put in a mill and ground up over the corpses of related species?
• How would you like to have your head cut off so that people can play football on you?
And it’s a matter of your own health. Do you realise that leguminous vegetables such as peas and beans fix deadly nitrogen from the air, which could give you cancer?

We should start tossing green fluid on Peta types. It would symbolize the loss and destruction to billions of our earths little green neighbors each year.
I sometimes joke that we used to have a vegan in our hometown, until we ate him.
