I've heard of ant farms, but this is ridiculous...

The asshats at PETA are at it again. This time, though, they're going a weeee bit too far...


Business at an animal-friendly shopping center in Austin, Texas, has "gone to the dogs."


No, it's actually gone to the snotweasels, don'cha know...? Or was that the ferret-faces...?


News 8 Austin reports a strict rule imposed on tenants of the plaza a few years ago – that no meat or animal products be sold – has prompted an exodus. A Chinese restaurant and a bakery closed. A bridal shop relocated, and word on the street is a popular burger joint is following suit.


"Oh, whaddya mean you can't sell tofu? If you can't sell tofu and rice cakes that taste like corkboard, what can you sell, hmmmmmmmmm???"


Nancy Owen, owner of Alegra's Bridal and Invitations, told the news channel she was informed she could not exterminate her ants but must "relocate" them.

"I couldn't believe my ears. I thought I was mishearing what they were saying," Owen said. "I can't run a business with ants crawling all over my hands and my customers."


Well, you could open up an ant farm and charge folks admission, I s'pose...


Other businesses have learned to adapt. A vision shop and shoe repair stopped selling leather products and a liquor store gave up the caviar in its gift baskets.


Yeah, and let's see how fast the bottom drops out of whatever profits they had and they have to close. I give 'em ten months, tops.


According to News 8, Houston resident Jeanne Daniels owns the Tarrytown Shopping Center. Daniels is an active member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.



Wonder if the bitch knows how many dinosaurs died to produce all the oil involved in building that shopping center, hmmmmmmmmmmmm...?


A PETA spokesman described the concept behind the rigid rule as "compassion."


Compassion for friggin' fire ants?!?!?! They're not even animals, ferchrissake!!!


"Other animals are made of the same stuff human beings are – flesh, blood and bone. They feel the same range of emotions we do and physiologically they feel pain in exactly the same way we do," News 8 quotes Bruce Friedrich as saying.


Next, that ant farm will be doing Shakespeare...Pass the popcorn, this oughta be good...


Owen, who closed up shop last weekend, believes in a pecking order.

"It's fine to be kind to animals, but I think it is more important to be respectful to your neighbors, your human neighbors," she said.


Oh, but, Ms. Owen - didn't you know? These are the same assholes who call the extermination of all the world's unborn babies "choice". How dare you tell them to think of the Children (tm) first?!


Daniels did not return the news channel's calls for comment.


Let's hope it's because someone took a Clue Bat (tm) to her head and made her realize what a shit-for-brains analogy she just made.


PETA is known for its headline-grabbing campaigns on behalf of animals. In April, the animal-rights group, which claims "750,000 members and supports" offered the town of Hamburg, N.Y., $15,000 in veggie burgers if it officially changed its name to "Veggieburg."


And to think - they said that with a straight face, too. what the hell - Hamburg needed a laugh that day...


A PETA campaign called "Holocaust on Your Plate" compared chickens slaughtered at factory farms to the Jews annihilated in Nazi death camps.


For which, if you ask me, they themselves should be gassed...


"Just as the Nazis tried to 'dehumanize' Jews by forcing them to live in filthy, crowded conditions," said a PETA press release relaunching the campaign in February,


...yeah, just as you twats manage to dehumanize the unborn child - right, you bunch of shitheaded assmunches...?


"animals on today's factory farms are stripped of all that is enjoyable and natural to them and treated as nothing more than meat-, egg-, and milk-making 'machines.'"


Gee, you know what? THAT HAPPENS TO BE THEIR PRIMARY FUNCTION, YOU DUMBASSES!!!


PETA also condemned the U.S. military's use of dolphins and sea lions in the Iraq war to help clear underwater mines.


I can just hear it now - "NO DORSAL FINS FOR OOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

Gawd, what a bunch of assclowns. I just hope that, one of these days, I have to try and cross one of their picket lines. I'd love to teach 'em all about "survival of the fittest", y'know...?
