When you think that cheap and revolting propaganda cannot get any cheaper and more revolting, here come PETA puppets - a pitiful result of accidental cross-breeding between STD and Ebola - with a new idea. Read about it here. See it below:

I almost wish to send the Greyhound man a set of kitchen knives and the PETA membership list.

Don’t you?

Time for an emergency EATAPETA day.

Hat tip: Graeme.

It’s International Eat a Tasty Animal for PETA Day.

Go ahead. I’m having dairy for breafkast, and meat for dinner, which will be in the company of all six members of the G. family.

Join us. Well, from wherever you are, not at the restaurant. It’s not big enough for all of us.

Tomorrow is the sixth annual International Eat a Tasty Animal for PETA (EATAPETA) Day.

Tired of their offensive ad campaigns? Well, have a steak on them. Tired of the hypocrisy of an animal rights organization that has a shelter with a 97% kill rate? Eat more chicken. Don’t eat meat? Dairy products work. So do eggs. Anything that a hard-core vegan won’t eat works for EATAPETA Day.

Hey, they started it.

PETA has started yet another offensive ad campaign. This one really reaches bottom—they are using Holocaust terminology, quotes, and pictures to liken the “slaughter” of animals to the slaughter of the Jews by the Nazis.

I’ve already received a letter from a child of Holocaust survivors who is, of course, extraordinarily offended. But here’s the thing: PETA is known for this kind of outrageous publicity stunt—and that’s what it is, an outrageous publicity stunt—and while I am also offended and outraged, there is absolutely nothing we can do that will make PETA change their ad campaign. I’m sure they knew exactly what they were doing, have a plan in mind, and, if they withdraw the campaign, will do it according to their deadlines and their decisions.

So let’s make up our own outrageous publicity stunt. Let’s designate Saturday, March 15th, as International Eat an Animal for PETA Day. Everybody set the date on your calendar, and either go out and enjoy a great steak, or cook one at home. Or cook up some chicken or fish or anything else that PETA wouldn’t want you to eat.

Let’s not forget that Ingrid Newkirk’s will says she wants people to make purses out of her skin after she dies. And I can’t find an original source for this, but I would not be surprised to find that it is true: Newkirk said:

“The leather sofa and handbag are the moral equivalent of the lampshades made from the skins of people killed in the death camps.”

Yeah. That’s why we eat meat on March 15th.

Plus, it’s tasty.

Y’know, I really don’t think I want to drive an hour there and back on Saturday.

You guys are going to have to give me a really good reason to come to Fredericksburg. I can celebrate EATAPETA Day here in Richmond just fine.

I’m getting a bit tired of driving long distances. Been spending a lot of time in the northern VA area lately.

I’m tired. Long drive, long day at work, great dinner (I had veal), pleasant company… you all talk amongst yourselves.

Remember that March 15th is International Eat a Tasty Animal for PETA (EATAPETA) Day. Plan your breakfast, lunch, and dinner around meat and dairy products.

I’ll have updates on my meat-up in Fredericksburg a bit later. We’re talking about Logan’s.

I’m willing to drive to Fredericksburg on EATAPETA Day, but no further. I’ve been driving to Company in Northern VA a lot lately, or driving to NorVA to meet friends and coworkers on a Saturday night. In fact, if I go to NorVA on March 15th, that will be the third Saturday in a row I will have driven to somewhere in either DC, Maryland, or NorVA.

Nope. Fredericksburg is as far as I go next Saturday night. Those of you from NorVA who want to Meat-up with me are going to have to drive a bit, too. We’re looking for a good place for a group that isn’t too expensive. Suggestions welcome.

This post is late this year, but March 15th is still International EATAPETA Day.

That’s right, it’s the day when we piss off the hypocrites at PETA who have the highest kill-rate out of any animal shelter in Virginia; who send their people to lie to vets and shelters and steal animals that they then euthanize, and who create hugely offensive ad campaigns that compare the slaughter of food animals to the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust.

Yep. It’s EATAPETA Day.

On March 15th, we make sure we eat meat, fish, or dairy products—all the stuff that pisses of the PETA vegans—in protest of PETA’s deceptive and execrable tactics.

You can check out my back posts by clicking on the EATAPETA category, which include cute pictures of kids.

Here’s the the original IEAFPD post:

Create a Meat-up in your own neighborhood. I’m having an early Meat-up with Elisson and SWMBO (I so love that title for a Mrs. I want to be one of those someday) this coming Saturday, as they’re going to be in the area. And I fully expect to be eating meat (it’s what’s for dinner) with some friends next week.

Go and enjoy, and then come back here and tell me all about it.

Looks like PETA’s kill rate is higher than any animal shelter in the country. One caveat: I need to see the original report. The Center for Consumer Freedom is a group with an anti-PETA agenda that gets its money from interest groups whose interest is generally the opposite of the subject of its articles. That said, if this is true, PETA has a 97% kill rate. Yes, ninety-seven percent.

In official report filed by PETA itself shows that the animal rights group put to death nearly every dog, cat, and other pet it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 animals. Not counting pets brought to PETA for spaying or neutering, the organization killed 2,981 of the 3,061 “companion animals” it took in. According to VDACS, the average euthanasia rate for humane societies in Virginia was 34.7 percent in 2006. PETA’s “kill rate” was 97.4 percent.

I don’t have the time today, but I’ll try to find the actual report and see how much of the above is true.

A PETA worker is going to be tried for felony theft for stealing a foxhound. She says she was rescuing a stray. Except, well, she took a tracking collar off the dog, and also ignored the fact that the dog’s name and owner’s phone number were on the other collar.

Courtland, VA - An animal rights advocate who said she was rescuing a stray will be prosecuted on a felony theft charge for loading a deputy sheriff’s hunting dog into a van and driving away.

A judge on Tuesday allowed the case to proceed against Andrea Florence Benoit, 25, who contends she was worried about the dog’s welfare and only wanted to return it to its owner.

The Chesapeake woman picked up the fox hound while working in Southampton County for Norfolk’s People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Prosecutors dropped charges against another PETA worker in the van.

A motorist who saw the women pick up the dog called Southampton County Deputy Sheriff J.T. Cooke Jr., an animal control officer for the county. Cooke found the van a few minutes later and discovered his Walker hound in the back.

Cooke testified that he had let out several of his hounds the night before to chase foxes, and one failed to return. The dog carried dye markings of numbers on its side and “JT” on its hip and wore a neon yellow collar bearing Cooke’s name and cell phone number, the deputy said.

The animal also had been outfitted with an orange collar fitted with an antenna that could track the animal for three to four miles.

The tracking collar was found near the side of the road where the dog was picked up.

Oops. Apparently, though, she was following PETA policy. Yes, that’s right, PETA tells its workers to steal animals and not contact their owners directly.

The women were following PETA policy by not directly trying to contact the dog’s owner through the phone number on the other collar, Benoit’s lawyer, Stephen D. Benjamin, said. They intended to call their office so PETA could reach Cooke, he said.

While General District Judge Robert B. Edwards said he had no doubt that Benoit believed she was doing the right thing, “the right thing in this case was a felony.”

I like that judge. Of course, it’s going to be plea-bargained down to a misdemeanor, just as the case of the PETA workers taking animals from vets, killing them, and throwing them into a dumpster was.

This is your reminder that it’s International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day.

Meat and animal products: It’s what’s for dinner.

Just got back from my lunch with Sarah and the twins. We went to Brock’s, a place we all know and love, and the site of our EATAPETA lunch from three years ago. And we took some pictures.

Lunch: What’s on my plate is the grilled chicken with plenty of tasty sides from the buffet. I could live on Brock’s hush puppies.

Max proves he’s just as photogenic today as he was three years ago. Maybe even more so. That’s grilled cheese, his lunchtime favorite, on his plate. One of the four EATAPETA food groups was consumed: Dairy products. (That would be meat, dairy, fish, and eggs, for the newbies here.)

Rebecca mugs for the camera. This, of course, is her natural state: Mugging for the camera, and for, well, everyone. And while there’s no meat on her plate, she was drinking chocolate milk, thus fulfilling EATAPETA rules.

Sarah’s got the other white meat, as well as a plate filled with goodies. Max decided to get in on the picture as well, which was fine by us.

We happened to be at the safest place in Chesterfield during the lunch hour. There were three Sheriffs there while we were eating lunch, and a fourth drove up towards the end of our meal. The Brock’s buffet lunch is a big area draw. PETA would downright hate it. A worthy place for our EATAPETA lunch!

Steak is on the menu at both our houses tonight.

This is your reminder that it’s International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day.

Meat and animal products: It’s what’s for lunch.

This is your reminder that it’s International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day.

Meat and animal products: It’s what’s for breakfast.

Don’t forget, this Thursday, March 15th, is the fifth annual International Eat a Tasty Animal for PETA (IEATAPETA) Day, the day on which we annoy vegans the world over, and PETA, which is right here in my state of Virginia.

This year, Sarah and I are taking the twins to lunch at Brock’s again, so we can take pictures and contrast and compare.

Go to PETA Is Full of Crap for meat-up, er, meet-up information.

From the original IEAFPD post:

Everybody set the date on your calendar, and either go out and enjoy a great steak, or cook one at home. Or cook up some chicken or fish or anything else that PETA wouldn’t want you to eat.

From last year’s Shire Network News podcast:

The Holocaust is regularly invoked in improper and offensive ways. The one that hit my outrage button the hardest three years ago was an ad campaign titled “The Holocaust on Your Plate.” It was created by the radical animal rights organization, People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals, or PETA.

The PETA ad campaign compared the slaughter of chickens for food to the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis. They traveled the country with a series of billboards that used Holocaust imagery next to images of animals. They lied to the American Holocaust Museum to obtain permission to use these pictures in their ad campaign.

It’s a well-known fact that PETA has always chosen sensationalism in their ad campaigns. They’re usually stupid and offensive, but this campaign caused enough pain that a child of Holocaust survivors wrote me a letter asking if there weren’t something we could do about it. That’s why I created the first International Eat an Animal for PETA Day (IEAPD).

The fourth annual celebration is coming up again on March 15th. On that day, I ask everyone who thinks PETA is offensive and over-the-top to eat meat or animal products like cheese in at least one meal. It’s the exact opposite of what PETA wants, and is our little protest to their offensive ad campaigns. Our theme (besides eating lots of meat that day) is “don’t get mad, get even.” IEAPD is gaining strength and notoriety every year.

Don’t get me wrong. I am utterly against animal cruelty. But I am also utterly against cruelty to humans, and especially against the misuse of Holocaust imagery to get a point across.

During the first IEATAPETA, a few friends and I actually gathered outside PETA headquarters in Norfolk with protest signs. It was a Saturday. Nobody was there. But we were.

For my second IETAPETA, Sarah and her children joined me for lunch at Brock’s. Her daughter Rebecca refers to all beef as “Yummy cow.”

There are plenty of posts from the past. Just Google IEAPD and this site.

I would like to be perfectly clear. Animals like this are not on the menu. In fact, this particular animal (and her brother) will be treated to tunafish on March 15th. It’s a good thing to include your pets in International EATAPETA Day. PETA doesn’t like us having pets, either.

Don’t forget! And for you vegetarians out there, if you’re not strict vegetarians, there’s always cheese and eggs.

Why am I still doing this? Well, PETA is still offensive. When they stop, I’ll stop.

Update: I should just like to point out that Lair Simon and I have been publicizing EATAPETA for a while now. We couldn’t get any of the big guns to link us until today. Just sayin’.

I’ve been remiss, but Lair hasn’t. PETA Is Full of Crap has been back in business for weeks.

March 15 is IEATAPETA Day, or EATAPETA Day, whichever you prefer.

Here’s the history. A funny post by Lair on why you should eat animals with other people. This category, where you can read your fill on the history of EATAPETAs past, and on letters from angry vegans. Let me state now, as always, that I do not in any way condone cruelty to animals. I do, however, condone making fun of PETA, which has a higher kill rate than any animal shelter in Virginia, I think—at all times. (Fair warning: That link is from an organization sponsored by, gee, restaurant and food lobbies. If you know your sources, you can use them wisely.)

Meat. It’s what for dinner, tonight. And many other nights.

I just bought myself a Crock Pot. I think I may make a pot roast for EATAPETA Day. Depends on whether or not I find some fellow Richmonders who have time for dinner out on a Thursday night. There’s a steakhouse on Parham Road that I’m fond of.

In any case, start thinking about how you’re going to prepare your feasts, and discuss them in the comments!

Our tireless friends of PETA are not content with pissing off the Jews. They are hell bent to prove that they are equal opportunity offenders. This time they have chosen to borrow the most powerful image of Christianity.

Vienna - A row erupted on Thursday over plans by animal protectionists to symbolically “crucify” three activists with animal masks in a Good Friday protest outside Vienna’s St Stephan’s Cathedral.

The militant pro-animal group PETA said the activists would be suspended from crosses with crowns of thorns on their heads.

The slogan of the protest action would be “We suffer and die for your sins of nourishment.”

Up to now, our sins of nourishment have not included eating PETA members. Judging by the picture, there is not a lot of good eating of that chicken. On the other hand, it is low cholesterol vegan meat, so those of us, carnivores, that battle high cholesterol levels, may take heed.

Now we are waiting with baited breath for the Muslim imagery from PETA. Surely it would be a nice and politically correct addition to the vegan menu?

In related news: vegans protest treatment of sheep in Australia in the nude.

US animal rights activists stripped off today in the first of a worldwide series of nude demonstrations to protest Australia’s treatment of sheep. A small group of members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) demonstrated outside the Australian embassy in Washington. In the coming days PETA plans nude protests outside Australian embassies in Vienna, Berlin, Paris and Sao Paulo. In Washington, four women and one man stripped down to g-strings and painted Australian flags on their bodies.

Since the article does not carry the picture of the protesters, choosing instead an idyllic snapshot of a ruminants family, one has to assume that the “small group” was not especially attractive in the nude.

More media members than activists were there to cover the spectacle. “We definitely attracted a lot of attention,” said Brandi Valladolid, a PETA spokesperson and one of the nude protesters. “Of course, protests like these are designed to create attention and it was a big success. We had 13 media outlets there.”

Poor schlubs…

Ms Valladolid said employees at the Australian embassy showed interest in the demonstration. “We noticed a lot of people in the embassy glued to their windows watching the demonstration wondering what the hell was going on,” she said.

A word to the wise, Brandi: some of them Aussies have an acquired… no, this is for Meryl’s place as well. Let’s just say that the word “skewer” has more than one meaning, OK?

Sarah and the twins and I went out to a local fast food chain, and we have the pictures (on Lair Simon’s PETA gallery) to prove it. If you want to submit your pictures, send them to Lair Simon. Be nice and cut them to 640×480 first.

Milk with breakfast, chicken for lunch, and corned beef for dinner. What was your menu like? (You can put that over on Lair’s, too.)

It’s the fourth annual International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day.

Go on out and eat meat and dairy products.

As Alex Bensky says, today, if it didn’t have a mother, don’t eat it.

I had a tall glass of milk with breakfast, and I’m meeting Sarah and the twins for lunch. I believe fried chicken will be on the menu, as well as hamburgers.

Eat animals. Piss off PETA. That’s what EATAPETA Day is all about.

Scott Sloan is a hoot. He just told his audience that God told him to eat fish.

Well, the message is out in Cincinnati, apparently also known as Porkopolis. I suppose if I weren’t Jewish, I’d have known that nickname. However, I introduced him to Sarah’s daughter’s pet phrase for beef: Yummy cow.

In the meantime, EATAPETA Day starts in about 35 minutes. I’m going to go to bed. I suppose I should count sheep to help me sleep.

Don’t forget, it’s EATAPETA Day tomorrow. I’m going to be on the same radio station that interviewed me last year, but can’t get to my email to see if it’s streamed. It’s satellite, though. 11 p.m. EST, tonight. More details later.

In the meantime, go to Lair Simon’s and register your gathering.

Sarah and the twins and I are meeting for lunch, keeping with our EATAPETA Day tradition.

Where will you be?

Okay. I’m on between 11 and 11:20 p.m. Here’s the streaming audio.

Every time you think that PETA can’t get any more ridiculous, they do something like this:

FISH have feelings, too, according to the folks at PETA, who are taking aim at writer Josh Kilmer-Purcell. The author, whose best-selling memoir, “I Am Not Myself These Days,” chronicles his double life as an ad exec-cum-drag performer, was put on notice last week by the animal-rights group’s “Fish Empathy Project” for alleged cruelty to goldfish. As his whip-cracking alter-ego, Aquadisiac, Kilmer-Purcell donned a pair of clear plastic breasts filled with live goldfish. Says PETA: “It would be, for you, like living in a covered bathtub that’s constantly moving, tossing you around as you defecate in it. It’s filthy, painful and terrifying for these animals.”

March 15th: International Eat an Animal for PETA Day. Because they earned it.

No traffic heading in, successful mission to pick up kosher meat, a nice dinner with Janet, Chris, and Ben, and home again. A bit of traffic heading south out of D.C., and to my astonishment, when the traffic report said it would stop around a bridge not far down 95, it did. By the time I was over the bridge, traffic picked up to 55 mph, and then up to speed limit.

And yum, kosher Chinese food.

Say, it turns out that there’s another month between March and May, which I seem to have forgotten about, so I’m going to run out of kosher food again before I make it up to NJ for Mother’s Day. One more run to Rockville, then, and probably time spent with my northern VA friends.

We had a surprise visit by Eric A. and his son. They couldn’t stay, but it was nice to finally meet.

Folks, if you haven’t signed up your gathering on the Peta is full of crap site, there’s still time.

If you haven’t heard about it yet, International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day was started three years ago when a child of Holocaust survivors emailed me about a reprehensible PETA ad campaign called “The Holocaust on your Plate,” which compared the slaughter of Jews to the slaughter of cows and chickens, and used photographs of cows and chickens side-by-side with photos of Jews in concentration camps. It could have gotten more disgusting, but I can’t think how.

So we decided that since this is a free country, after all, and we’re not about to protest by the thousands and riot and kill and burn, we decided that our protests would consist of doing the exact opposite of what PETA would like us to do. In other words: Eat meat. Eat more meat, actually. Most observers of EATAPETA Day have meat at all three meals.

Even vegetarians can get in on the festivities, by eating eggs and dairy products.

Me? I’m having a tall glass of milk with breakfast, meeting Sarah and the twins for a lunch that will include fried chicken, and finishing off with a steak for dinner. Or maybe corned beef. I cooked a corned beef last week. Mmm, corned beef.

I am also going to be in Rockville, MD tomorrow at 4 p.m. on a dual-purpose mission: Picking up more kosher meat, and having a meat-up with friends from the area to enjoy great kosher Chinese food.

So. What are you having?

Here you go. A Frappr map, courtesy of Aaron.

Stick a pin in it, folks.

Aaron has once again been censored by Cafe Press, only this time, it’s, well, just plain dumb. Go take a look at what they found offensive.

I thought it was pretty damned funny, myself.

Somehow, I managed to miss this missive from someone who apparently found my previous International Eat an Animal for PETA (now renamed Eat A TASTY Animal for PETA) Day. Presented, for your edification, a typical letter from a PETA fanatic, Bob from New Zealand:

You are a f–king sicko!

I just read your International Eat an Animal for PETA Day How dare u offend PETA like that I don’t give a sh-t if they offended some Holocaust Survivors. The slaughters of billions of animals for human consumption far surpasses the people that died in the gas chambers. You are just a sick meat loving sicko one of the millions, who hasn’t evolved pass man’s barbaric caveman ways. Animals are not ours to eat and as a Vegan I shall protect there rights where they cannot. What makes u think humans have the right to butcher and eat animals as they choose they are intelligent and wonderful creatures and have the right to live full lives as we do. U are SCUM and maybe another million years your kind will have evolved past the Stone Age and will become Vegans and love and respect all Creatures not just yourselves.

Until Then I hope you choke on your steak you sick Bitch!!!

Chew on that.

As always, the educated, refined, and thoughtful response of the typical outraged vegan (although he did capitalize it, so maybe he really is from Vega) to International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day.

EATAPETA folks. Do it for Bob.

This year’s International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day, which is only a week away, is going to be the first time in four years that it’s a stealth EATAPETA Day.

By this time last year, we had banners, posters, extremely un-PC photoshops and slogans. This year, we have, uh, Lair Simon flogging peta.isfullofcrap.com for all he’s worth, plus help from me, to little avail.

What, nobody wants to eat meat and piss off PETA this year? Nobody wants me to get angry comments and emails from PETA friends and fans to fisk?

People, people, people — help me out here.

Make up slogans. Post ‘em. Track ‘em back to this post.

Here’s one: Eat an animal. Piss off PETA.
Alex Bensky’s slogan: If it didn’t have a mother, don’t eat.
Marty’s slogan: Don’t get mad. Get eatin’.

See? That was easy. Join in.

Go over to PETA.ISFULLOFCRAP.COM and schedule your gathering. And post abput it on your blog.

IEATAPETA Day: History. Reasons why you should get together with people on March 15th. Where I’ll be on March 12th and 15th.

Come on, join the fun. It’s not really EATAPETA Day until I get my first piece of hate mail from a vegan.

Update: First logo is over on Life At Full Volume, the home of Sarah and the G. family. Yummy cow!

International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day — March 15 — is right around the corner. Have you scheduled your meat-up yet? No? Well, a blogger from Sweden has.

Go over to PETA.ISFULLOFCRAP.COM and schedule your gathering. And post abput it on your blog, or just chat about it in the comments here.

Come on, join the fun.

If you’re interesting in organizing an EATAPETA meetup in your city, feel free to use the the database site I’ve set up.

Why should you EATAPETA in a group setting?

• Just in case you need the Heimlich Manuever.
• Restaurants are great for people who are lousy cooks. Unless they work there, of course.
• When you say “Pass the salt” you aren’t left in uncomfortable, soul-crippling silence.
• Afterwards, you can go to the zoo and shout “YOU’RE NEXT!”
• There’s safety in numbers in the chance that Mike Tyson wants to hunt you down and beat the crap out of you.
• Wow! Look at all these free matchbooks!
• Engage in pleasant dinner conversation, like in “My Dinner With Andre.”
• Bad with math? Gratuities are often pre-calculated for large groups.

Five meetups have been set up so far: Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Mesa, and Rockville.

Your town can’t become the sixth if you don’t roll up your sleeves and make it.

March 15 is just over two weeks away, so fire up those grills and ovens and get ready to eat meat for a good cause: To piss off PETA (history here).

Lair Simon has created a website where you can list your local gathering for others to join you.

I’m going to be at the Royal Dragon kosher Chinese restaurant in Rockville, MD on March 12 at 4 p.m. If you want a late lunch or early dinner, join me. RSVP via email so I can give them a count, or RSVP in these comments.

On the 15th, I’ll be joining Sarah and the kids — perhaps the entire family — for yummy cow, or tasty chicken. Maybe we’ll go to Brock’s BBQ for dinner. Hey, maybe Harrison could meet up with us.

I’ve put my March 12th gathering up. If the 15th gels into concrete plans, I’ll put that one up as well. C.J., if you’re still out there, you’re welcome to join us.
