Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, February 02, 2010

ANIMAL-RIGHTS group PETA have asked organisers of the annual Groundhog Day spectacle in Philadelphia to replace a live groundhog used in a ceremony each year to be replaced by a robot.

Each year on February 2, a groundhog known as "Punxsutawney Phil" is presented to the public.

According to the longtime tradition, if Phil sees his shadow on the unofficial holiday, then there will be six more weeks of winter.

If he does not appear to see his shadow, there will be an early spring.

USA Today today ran a letter written by Gemma Vaughan, a PETA "Animals in Entertainment specialist", to Bill Deeley, president of the Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.

PETA have asked organisers of the annual Groundhog Day spectacle in Philadelphia to replace a live groundhog used in a ceremony each year to be replaced by a robot.

PETA is against animal employment? PETA wants to replace working living things with robots? Why does PETA hate working animals? Who will support this groundhog's family should he become suddenly unemployed?

PETA is reason enough to blow up the Earth.

PETA asks people to do all kinds of stuff they ain't doing.

I have rules for the world that nobody wants to follow too. If I were also a complete douche, I'd know how the members of PETA feel.

People

Aliens

Now then...if PEOPLE are ANIMALS, and PETA is against EXPLOITING ANIMALS, then are not their ads featuring naked female celebrities actually going against their company message?

Pathetic

In other news, a groundhog BBQ is scheduled for this Saturday.

Their going to advertise anyway so don't screw it up by criticizing naked women.

Groundhog tastes like chicken--right?

Are these people nuts or what?

They need to get a job--oh wait--there are no jobs under Obama policies....

do any of you REALLY think these people are going to do this? they are pretty hard core about this thing...
one of them on show said that phil had heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer

PETA should worry about PEOPLE who dont have that much

one of them on show said that phil had heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer

and they pick him up and he hits the news once a year

HEY sounds a little like corky's life.....

I somehow doubt I would prefer ogling ancient librarians for a living.

#13 - is that a shred of doubt or a highly doubt? "Somehow" implies you may be game, Corky...

It's a colloquial expression, nanc. You of all people should know that.

LOL, whacky liberals!

#15 - and you of all people should know I was ribbing you!

What a stupid headline....it figures nanc would be behind it.

She's even more useless than those stupid fuckers at PTEA.

Robotic Groundhogs.....Lol. More proof the south is better. Bunch of yankees in tuxedos squeezing a nutria without a tail, trying to predict the weather.

There's that little issue of consent, of course.

"Bunch of yankees...."

Yankees saved the soul of the South by forcing it to end the evil institution of slavery - after the appropriate ass-whipping of course. To the extent the population of the Bible Belt is able to avoid Hell, they have Yankees to thank.

PETA is a Union with a Following Just like the NRA.

With that said ------- Who subscribes to your news letter(s), nanc?

PETA is an Advocacy Force to be Reckoned With, Just Like the NRA.

What's the Name of your Group, nanc?

PETA attacks a base that has purchasing power, just like the NRA.

What's your leverage, nanc?

"#21 | Posted by Sully

Good one.

PETA is a bone-headed operation run by liberal pissants that think everyone should think and do as they think and do, just like Redneckville.

Please feel free to show where the NRA has ever advocated against someone's right to do something, wear something, or eat something.

Nanc reminds me of a guy who couldn't build anything --- so he decided to spend effort attempting to Destroy what he was incapable of building on his own.

He was the First MBA president, whose only successful business venture at the time (and still is) involved selling his bankrupt company to the Bin Ladens

Nanc, I'm afraid there's only one way to find out. If you wouldn't mind wearing something nice and frumpy, pulling your hair back and wearing some horn-rimmed glasses....then the ogling can commence!

I'm truly sorry, but it's the only way to be sure.

Are you for real?
I was a member of the NRA (never have been a member of PETA).

And yes, there are instance after instance where the NRA Advocates Against Someone's Right (just like PETA) to be Safe from Untrained, Unstable and Unlicensed Gun Owners.

--- The National Rifle Association filed a Second Amendment lawsuit in federal court last Friday seeking to invalidate the San Francisco ordinance that requires all residents to store their handguns in a locked container or disabled with a trigger lock.

Obviously there are some people who want gun locks --- and is a prefect comparison of how the NRA is advocating against them (in the exact same style as PETA that you infer the NRA doesnt engage in).

The only difference is this Tortured Logic you are attempting to strategically apply to PETA while shielding the NRA from the same level of Scrutiny!

ANIMAL-RIGHTS group PETA have asked organisers of the annual Groundhog Day spectacle in Philadelphia to replace a live groundhog used in a ceremony each year to be replaced by a robot.

Another groundhog loses his job to automation. What's next? Outsourcing the work of the Easter Bunny?

Advocates Against Someone's Right (just like PETA) to "be Safe from Untrained, Unstable and Unlicensed Gun Owners." -- Twisted logic indeed. Stupidity such as this bears repetition to show those with a brain just what constitutes liberalism these days. Please, if you have an actual case of the NRA denying rights to citizens, please feel free to share. You brought up the NRA, so don't now try to deflect the issue. I don't belong to the NRA, never have, but I hate to see such blubbering nonsense.

Since you were a member, and so prominently claim, you should be able to easily produce such a case.

"Obviously there are some people who want gun locks --- "

Then they are perfectly willing to purchase one. No one is stopping locks from being purchased. Of course you are really saying that there are those that wish to force everyone to purchase and used gun locks, the NRA does not want people to be forced to purchase and use gun locks, and this is bad. Which of these groups is forcing someone to do something, and which of these groups is trying to protect the others' rights?

#31 Redneckville> Obviously there are some people who want gun locks ... the NRA is advocating against them

Funny, but the NRA isn't trying to keep ANYBODY from using a gun lock if they want to. PETA has advocated keeping people from eating animals. Big difference.

Also one of those groups is advocating for a Constitutional Right, and it ain't PETA.

#35 - rnv's issue isn't with issues - it's with me - anything I post tends to affect his better judgment - hence the ranting and raving. I could say that I appreciate what a good job obama is doing and he'd call me a "n****r" lover - he's never happy.

PETA are silly twats. NRA are insane madmen. Any question?

Crisis

Does anyone really give a shit about Pux-whatever Phil? PETA sucks, but groundhogs seem more their speed. Let 'em have their day in the sun

"Does anyone really give a shit about Pux-whatever Phil?"

The folks in Punxsutawney do. It's the only excitement they get all year. And there is a bitchin' fireworks show at 0630.

Ms Vaughan goes on to say that the groundhogs "become stressed when they are exposed to large, screaming crowds; flashing lights from perhaps hundreds of cameras; and human handling".

She's right. The only thing that should be stressing a groundhog is a .223 FMJ. Those animals are worthless, and you can't even eat the damn things!
