Anti Racing quote of the century...

[geeker2]

I could not help but to be drawn to this great quote that an idiot wrote to a "letter to the Editor" in the San Diego paper after railing against horse racing and its cruelty.

"We should be more humane to all animals, whether they are ridden by us or eaten by us."

Eat me -please

I wonder if the horses in Japan know they better do well or they'll be dinner? Maybe they are shown a knife and fork before the race.

i'll be sure to whisper sweet nothings to my t-bone this afternoon while grilling it. medium rare, thank you. no steak sauce. or maybe whilst cutting it, as tony will probably do the grilling...

Sometimes good things happen to questionable people. But, you can't fault the horse.

i'm confused.

we don't like peta because of their extremist rhetoric and simple minded approach to a complex issue.

but we mock a simple statement against needless cruelty?

maybe the entire letter was idiotic but that quote standing alone seems to be something no one would disagree with.

i don't want the cow tortured before i have dinner. i just want dinner.

try not to adopt the most ridiculous aspects of your opponent in a debate. i'm sure peta would love to put the first posts here in another fund raising letter to show the kind of people they're up against.

A good article on just this point.

well...i'm not sure if i'm supposed to feel bad now that i thoroughly enjoyed my steak.

i think a big part of the issue is that a horse is a beautiful animal. don't get my meaning? well...people are all for saving the dolphin, but i don't recall any save the tuna campaign. dolphins are cute, and fun to watch at sea world-therefore, they are to be left off the dinner table. sharks are seeing their numbers thinned-but those rotten bastards eat people, so no one cares that they're possibly endangered.
so, now it's the horses turn. any of us who like this sport, or ride, rodeo, etc...we're all greedy, rotten, and uncaring.

i guess we need to start racing cows.
