Arugula=murder!

Left-wing bombers.

Cracking down on domestic terrorism.

“Nonviolent chemical warfare.”

By any means necessary.

Gone wild.

Exposing the terror tactics of the shadowy ALF.

Three items:
1) The PETA language police are harassing journalists who call animals “it:”
This afternoon, PETA dispatched a letter to Norm Goldstein, editor of The Associated Press Stylebook, suggesting that it is time to revise the book’s language guidelines—which currently characterize animals as inanimate objects—and bring the references in line with 21st century attitudes. Specifically, PETA […]

The Save the Whales crowd sure has a strange way of showing its love for animals.

Do you know what today (March 15) is?
It’s the Fifth Annual International Eat an Animal for PETA Day!
Meryl Yourish, the originator of IEAPD, explains:
PETA has started yet another offensive ad campaign. This one really reaches bottom—they are using Holocaust terminology, quotes, and pictures to liken the “slaughter” of animals to the slaughter of the Jews […]

UGG! I’m wearing what?
The company that manufactures UGG boots doesn’t hide how it makes its popular footwear. A quick trip to the company website tells you everything you need to know:

Somehow, this information escaped former Baywatch star/PETA zealot Pamela Anderson’s attention while lobbying against the use of skins in favor of “cruelty-free fashion.” For 15 […]

Back in 2002, I reported on efforts by animal rights activists to sabotage Navy sonar exercises:
Osama bin Laden gets help from the strangest creatures. As America’s military struggles to prepare its forces for the War on Terror, radical environmentalists are using marine life-whales, dolphins, and even squid-to try to block sea-based training exercises and technological […]

The California Patriot, UC Berkeley’s conservative student publication, has an amusing story of liberal undergrads gone wild–with must-see video and photos. Andrew Quinio reports:
Students from PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, drew an angry crowd on Sproul after displaying images that compared animal treatment to the lynching and enslavement of black Americans. About […]

Check this out (via the Virginian-Pilot):
The cats and dogs two PETA employees have been charged with euthanizing and dumping in an Ahoskie garbage bin were killed by injections of pentobarbital, a barbiturate commonly used to put down animals, according to new warrants issued and served on Friday.
Additionally, the two employees were charged with three felony […]

I covered environmental radicals and animal rights extremists at the Seattle Times in the late 1990s and have continued to track their escalation. The Christian Science Monitor published a good investigative piece yesterday on the continued eco-thuggery:
The trial of seven animal rights activists under domestic terrorism laws focuses attention on a threat which law enforcement […]

The self-righteous activists that harass parents and children for fishing have put thousands of dogs, cats, and other companion animals to death over the past five years. Check out Peta Kills Animals.

Did you know that animal rights’ activists declared yesterday “International Respect for Chickens Day?” Seriously.
On a lighter note, Matt Rosenberg at Sound Politics is honoring the holiday with his own call for the blogosphere’s best chicken recipes in his comments section. I’ll be sharing my chicken adobo recipe.

Erik Ness, 1979-2000
Eight years ago, I joined thousands of Americans who wrote checks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in honor of Erik Ness. He was the young man with brain cancer whose wish was to hunt a brown bear in Alaska with his dad. The terminally ill teen’s wish was met with a national furor. Heartless […]
