It is not politically correct in this day and age to do something that mankind has been enjoying for thousands of years; a good, honest piece of meat to sit down to at dinner after a tough day. There are those who want to take this inherent "Meat Right" away from decent folk. They claim that harvesting non-human animals is a barbaric remnant of a neanderthalic past. To them it is considered not just murder, but specieism (the active discrimination of the harvesting of one specie of non-human animal over the harvesting of another specie). So we are essentially bigot carnivores. The heroes of this movement include on Paul McCartney of Beatles and Wings fame. He once said, "I don't understaaaand why we continue to eat meat everyone dtoday works at computers, they don't have to hunt their food." With cold forged logic such as this, how can anyone eat a hamburger? I could go into a two paragraph description of the radical leanings of PETA (the things they don't put onto their membership and donation drive materials), but I will hold back until a more appropriate time. -Patton Eat Free or Die!
