Suffer the Clowns
The clowns of PETA have visited a circus to protest animal abuse, and, according to their blog, really made an impact. For instance, here is a description of “one of the best moments of the night.”
One of the best moments of the night was a conversation between Ingrid and a woman who rolled down her window:Woman: I love Ringling!
Ingrid: Why?
Woman: I don’t know.
Ingrid: You know they beat the elephants?
Woman: Oh.
Ingrid: Watch the video online at Circuses.com.
Woman: Thank you. I will. Try to keep warm.
I don’t get it. The woman just rolls down her window and says “I love Ringling!”?! Who does that?? Then when asked why, she says “I don’t know”?! Sounds kind of weird to me. And even if it did happen this way, it sounds more like the woman is just trying to get away from these nutcases, and so she tells them what they want to hear.
Of course, no PETA protest would be complete without some dirty tactic.
Clowns and carnies should stick to beating and shocking each other rather than animals. I guess they’re too busy being pedophiles for that, though.
Which reminds me of a verse from that famous Pink Floyd song Another Brick in the Wall: Hey, PETA!, Leave those clowns alone!
Now don’t get me wrong. I am against animal abuse But I am equally against placing animal rights above those of humans, as well as using dirty tactics to make your point. I therefore ask that you support Meryl’s Fourth Annual Intl. Eat a Tasty Animal for PETA Day, which is slated for March 15th (which also happens to be my birthday).

I just love people who always say, “I’m not against animals abuse……..BUT..” What a joke! So, I assume you mean that you’d rather see animals get beaten and shocked then human beings? If that’s the case, then you’re not as anti-animal cruelty as you think you are.
Forget PETA and their far out views on eating meat. Animal abuse in circuses among other places IS real and should be stopped. I would think your concern should be more for stopping the abuse then stopping PETA. This is why I think you guys are all full of crap and really hate animals.
