Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 28, 2013
Transcript:
Goat: Hi, Pig... I"d like you to meet Shelly... she's from "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals." Pig: Oh, great. Didn't you guys just open a new office downtown? Shelly: We did, despite the city's refusal to give us a permit. But yes, we finally found a legal way to do it. Pig: There's more than one way to skin a cat. I never say the right thing.

Try to remember that, Pig. Let’s all go to the protest of PETA’s Cruelty to Pig(s)!

I remember when we were skinning our dissection cats for Anatomy and Physiology. The book had one way of dissection and our teacher had another. Thus proving that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

doesn’t peta euthanize animals? and, they advocate no use of any animal, even if that animal is used for diabetes medicine(which many of their members and senior staff are diabetic).

Many moons ago in my “Comparative Anatomy of the Vertebrates Class” we were taught that there was only 1 way to skin a cat.

I didn’t claw my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.
If we’re not supposed to eat animals, then why are they made of meat?
What’s really bizarre is that some people who categorically claim there are no moral absolutes will turn around and say things like “animals have rights” as if they’re moral absolutes.

I smell crossover….

Very ironic, writing about rejection of logic. Your reasoning is about as sound as that of PETA activists who think throwing red paint on fur coats will advance their cause. Domestic animals are not species, there are wild variations of every one of them. No one, not even PETA members, realistically expects everyone to become vegetarians as if a switch were flipped.

I LOVE VEGETABLES!Particularly when eaten by an animal so it can grow big and strong and be butchered for my dinner.

PETA nuts raid medical research labs, disrupting the research. But my father’s life was saved something over 30 years ago by a medical procedure (cancer surgery) perfected by work on animals.
So obviously PETA wants my father (and people like him) dead. I have no respect whatsoever for them.

What I hate, is the people who callously yank poor defenseless plants right out of the ground where they were happy! Then they rip off their limbs as they scream silently in pain! Oftentimes, they then just consume them raw, with the poor plants juices running down their uncaring jaws with their eyes glazed over with happiness. Monsters!

There is nothing ethical about PETA.

Pig should feel lucky he didn’t offer her a BLT.

@bgby4884I totally agree! What’s worse, a lot of vegetarians regularly enjoy yogurt with LIVE yogurt cultures!! Zero tolerance for multiculturalism!! (sorry, couldn’t resist) Talk about barbaric.
