    How many animals had to die to build the computer he surely composed his op-ed on? Two? Eleven? Twenty-three million? Is typewriter ink squeezed from baby squids? Are bacterium rended to pieces if you write with your own shit on the walls of Boston Market? Being a vegan must be complicated.

    "We gather together
    for yams, beans, and cranberry sauce.
    But have you given much thought lately
    to the Turkey Holocaust?
    Twenty million noble birds
    slaughtered every fall.
    Ain’t no difference between Hitler, Stalin
    and the folks at Butterball!
    Butterba-a-a-a-ll!!
    So set your tables, America
    from Birmingham to Branson.
    But when you carve that turkey
    you’re a finger-licking Charlie Manson.
    Enjoy your pumpkin pie
    your buttery Idaho spud.
    Grandma’s chestnut stuffing
    and a turkey basted in blood!
    Basted in blood! Basted in blood!
    Basted in blood! Basted in blood!
    Basted in blood! Basted in blood!
    Basted in blood! Basted in blood!"

    My favorite part of the op-ed was when he noted that your precious free-range turkey has absolutely nothing to be thankful for. So think about THAT, you cold, selfish motherfuckers.

    This year when I'm at the Thanksgiving table, I'll be sure to have my guests take a moment of silence so we can all think about how we're participating in an ongoing holocaust of our fellow less-than-human creatures. Sure.

    Peter Singer clearly learned from the "my Catholic grandmother" school of guilt-tripping.

    This omnivore will no consider eating Tofurkey on Thanksgiving or any other day of year. This is what Momof3 will be serving on Thursday. From the periodical Bacon Today, Turbaconducken: [bacontoday.com]

    I went to see the Lippizzan Stallions last summer, and got crap on my facebook page from someone who decried the "cruelty" of their restricted lives. Someone whose cats have never been outside. #peta

    In reply to PETA Protects Cat to Death
    If Peta really is protecting cats to death, which is a sort of misleading header, then that would reveal their secret ultimate agenda finally to stop all exploitation of so called companion animals by making it practically impossible to take care of them in a natural way. this woman was likely driven bats by the cat's behavioral problems indoors, probably the main reason cats or dogs are given up for death by impoundment in kill shelters or to be killed by helpful vets. most people don't really strike me as particularly worthy to be responsible for the lives of animals. they should get stuffed toys or robot animals instead. #peta

    @Lydia Jenkins Netzer: There is an ethical and philosophical argument that goes into some detail about the slavery of 'pets,' but it is almost as extreme as the formerly unpopular opinion that women should have equality under laws...The world may become more radical about animal liberation as time goes by, but I think it could be a very lonely and bereft place. #peta

    How about this: have your lawyer send a threatening letter pointing out that there is no law against letting a cat outside and that if the cat was taken, it would be theft. You could even seek a TRO against them. Then, microchip the cat. Any shelter that gets a pet checks for a microchip. Killing your cat is just the worst possible solution. #peta

    In reply to PETA Protects Cat to Death
    Speaking of lawyers: On a later occasion my dog got out of our fenced yard, and the interns took my dog out of my front yard and called animal control to pick him up. He spent the February night outside at the shelter while we were frantically looking for him. I blogged about it, and received threatening calls and letters from the PETA attorney. So, no, a stern letter from an attorney would do nothing to deter these people. Like I said when the reporter interviewed me, I feel for them in a way -- they're young, deeply emotional, and really believe in what they're doing. It's just not easy to own pets in the house next door to them. #peta

    @Lydia Jenkins Netzer: Sounds like maybe they're right to want to take your pets away from you since you seem to have utterly no control over them and are willing to murder them instead of either get them an owner somewhere safer or try to give them only supervised outside time. Just sayin'. #peta
