PETA's gone insane

Okay, PETA has really gone off the deep end this time. From the 7/25 episode of Week Magazine:

"Sharon Stone is in trouble with animal-rights groups, says the New York Post. In a new autobiography, actor [and Hamden, CT native!] Ernest Borgnine recalls that Stone once refused to appear in a scene with a 'very large' tarantula spider unless its pincers were cut off, so the crew obliged. 'She chose to make a tiny insect an amputee,' said Ingrid Newkirk of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. 'Perhaps she should change her name legally to 'Heart of Stone.''"

1. "Tiny"?!
2. "Insect"?
3. It's a big, hairy SPIDER! It shouldn't have had its pincers removed. It should have been thrown in an incinerator.
4. I wonder if the PETA people have bug zappers in their back yards.
5. If you keep saying stupid things like this, there is no way anyone is ever going to take PETA seriously.

Yep, Peta forget to tell us that the big hairy spider was dropped in Sharon's mouth for the scene in Deadly Blessings. Yeah, nothing like wanting the pincher remain intact of that scene. Yeah, right!!

Spiders are not insects.

"Many people confuse spiders with insects. Both belong to the phylum Arthropoda in the animal kingdom, which consists of animals with segmented bodies and jointed appendages. The phylum Arthropoda is divided into 5 classes. Animals with 4 pairs of legs such as spiders belong to the class called Arachnida and animals with 3 pairs of legs such as insects belong to the class called Insecta."

By the way, a typical spider kills and eats 1.6 insects a day.

PETA people should be tarred and feathered or shot. They serve no purpose in a practical society and thus the laws of nature will eventually get rid of these lowlifes via natural selection. They have helped to ruin the forests and spread disease amongst deer and raccoon through they’re tireless devotion to their weak emotional sensitivities. You people are the reason the USA is sucking hard nowadays. There is a direct quote from a PETA person that states that the life of a single ant is equally as important as the life of a human child. Ok then scumbag, sacrifice your child to save an ant, because inevitably your child will kill more ants than people. I cannot begin to communicate the disdain and loathing I feel for you PETA. I abhor you. I hunt deer and other wildlife. When I kill something, I skin it and eat it. It’s actually more sanitary than eating each other’s asses, which is what you scumheels do on a regular basis with your heads up your rectums. Please die a slow and painful death, and may your children die in a car fire cause by a vegan who is dizzy behind the wheel from lack of protein. You are the scum of society comparable to terrorists. To all the PETA people, George W Bush, Dickhead Cheyney, and Barrack Obamination, may you all rot in hell. God save America.
