PETA asks town of Fishkill, NY to change name

[Xiahou]

Read it here.

Words fail me...

[Azi Tohak]

I know...I know... You must not eat anything that casts a shadow. At least with bigger things going on, the media won't go nuts about whatever the PETA crackpots have come up with.

with all the true animal abuse situations that happen everyday one would think they have better things to spend their time on......

"spokeswoman for the group's fish empathy project"

Is there no limit to how stupid people can become and still have enough brain power to run their bodily functions?

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Yes I heard this on the radio the other day. Next I guess Catskill NY and the Catskill mountains will also have to change their names.

PETA has even offered Fishkill an incentive to eradicate its history: if the town changes its title, the group will give $15,000 worth of soy-based fish products to local schools.

Somehow, I doubt the kids would appreciate that. Besides, what the heck is a soy based fish product? It sounds like it's not even fish.

"When they think of Fishkill, they think of abusing fish and that's not the right message," a spokeswoman for the group's fish empathy project said of those who might see the name on a map.

I know the first thing I thought was about putting little bluegills on the rack until they told me where the good trout fishing spots were, not to mention poking bass with needles just for fun.

Is there no limit to how stupid people can become and still have enough brain power to run their bodily functions?

Apperently not.

Man, I was just fine until I read that article. I saw the word "Fishkill" and just flipped out! I went out and

caught some fish, a deadly sin in itself. Then I shot them in a

barrel. Then I

cooked them up good - fried them, in fact.

Fishkill must change now, to stop the genocide of fish everywhere!

[whyidie]

They should oblige them and change the name to Petakill.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I wonder what Peta means in Dutch. If it meant idiot or something like that, the irony would be hilarious. And then they could get $15,000 worth of fake fish made out of soy!

to prove how crazy peta is read the website http://www.peta.org


And here is a clipping from that site


“How can you justify the millions of dollars of property damage caused by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF)?”

Throughout history, some people have felt the need to break the law to fight injustice. The Underground Railroad and the French Resistance are examples of movements in which people broke the law in order to answer to a higher morality. The ALF, which is simply the name adopted by people who act illegally in behalf of animal rights, breaks inanimate objects such as stereotaxic devices and decapitators in order to save lives. ALF members burn empty buildings in which animals are tortured and killed. ALF “raids” have given us proof of horrific cruelty that would not have otherwise been discovered or believed and have resulted in criminal charges’ being filed against laboratories for violations of the Animal Welfare Act. Often, ALF raids have been followed by widespread scientific condemnation of the practices occurring in the targeted labs, and some abusive laboratories have been permanently shut down as a result.

PETA can help some really abused animals. But sometimes they are idiots, like in this. No animal is getting hurt, it's a frikkin town name!

[Byzantine Prince]

How dare you Steppe Merc!?!? Fish are actually getting their feelings hurt because of that name. And no don't tel me to calm down!!!

[King of Atlantis]

Fishkill should get an award for such a fine name

[Crazed Rabbit]

Just FYI, PETA kills-er, 'ethically euthanizes', 85% of the animals they take in.

Oh, and somehow freeing slaves and wanton property distruction are morally equivalent (they don't mention how ALF likes to burn down people's homes, or parts of universities).

Suggested name change for the town of Fishkill, NY: "bite me" in Dutch.

[Lemur]

Thank God PETA didn't know about Fishkill's earlier name, Bunnyslaughter.

[Devastatin Dave]

LOL, and before that it was Clubasealville.

[Mongoose]

Fishkill....suddenly, i feel...an unstoppable urge...to kill fish....must kill fish now!!!...with an assault gun...Maybe i will just put some posion...in the water...

Must...not...kill...the...fish.... "Fishkill"... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *runs off to the nearest river, with an anti-tank missle*

[Gregoshi]

...runs off to the nearest river, with an anti-tank missle*

Silly mongoose. You don't use anti-tank missiles for fish in a river. No, you use those missiles when they're in a fish tank.

[Redleg]

PETA makes for some good jokes - they often make themselves look foolish.

[Mongoose]

Silly mongoose. You don't use anti-tank missiles for fish in a river. No, you use those missiles when they're in a fish tank.

Yeah, but it's so much cooler with an anti-tank missle....if the name was dontlikefish, then a hand gun would work. BUT Fishkill is just asking for something heavier....

[Lemur]

PETA makes for some good jokes - they often make themselves look foolish.

And what's sad is that the idea behind them -- the notion that one should treat animals ethically -- is a sound one. Why do they have to be such eco-nazis about it? The notion that if you're going to kill it you ought to eat it isn't radical. The idea that one shouldn't pointlessly torture animals isn't far-out. But then they have to go ruining it by pursing a radical vegan anti-homo-sapiens agenda. Sigh.

Why do people engaged in what ought to be a reasonable cause have to behave like fruit loops? Why do extremists have to suck all the fun out of sensible issues?

Well, not all the fun. Like you said, they're plenty amusing to poke fun at.

PETA wouldn't understand

Instructions on how to clean your toilet

1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo
to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards
the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close
both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the
noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a “power-wash”
and “rinse.”

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that
there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom,
and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.

I'm going to start an Organization called the "The Peoples Liberation of Leafy Greens, Fruit, and Vegetables Front", then we could take this protesting of inanimate, or unfeeling creatures on a whole new scale.

[PanzerJaeger]

This made me laugh almost as much as when the French canned the Rainbow Warrior.

Its as if Greenpeace and PETA are competing for the "Most Idiotic Environuts" award.

Actually I heard somewhere that grass screams when you cut it... ....must be the noise of the mower that covers it, 'cos I never heard it.

[Zalmoxis]

First, I'm gonna stock up on salmon to last me a week, and I'll smoke it on my porch, with a big FU PETA sign written in sausages while I parade around the block wearing a brand new beaver coat. Then, I'll try to figure out why the people at PETA are such idiots when it comes to rational thought when I eat said salmon.

[Samurai Waki]

mmmm....smoked Sock-Eyed Salmon. I think I'll join you. I'll wearing my Baby Seal Fur Coat, Mink Hat, and Bottle-Nose Dolphin Skin Boots (wow. I dress like a pimp )

[Mount Suribachi]

Lets not forget when some Palestinian terror group used a donkey "suicide bomber" killing a load of civilians, and PETA were outraged at the death of the donkey
