(MD) National Guard Cancels Chicken Kill After PETA Objects

That's more than we needed to know...
Anyway, the problem here is that these PETA folks think that animals take precedence over people. I have yet to fully understand why, but it seems to have something to do with the sheltered, touchy-feely world that they've created for themselves to live in. They don't understand that humans are both A PART OF and APART FROM nature. In the event of a real, serious national emergency, the PETAns/vegans/wimps would be the first to go.

BTW, in Germany it is illegal for civilians (i.e. non-military, non-LEO) to train for combat. No Knife, CQB, Baton training; no shooting at targets resembling people (have you seen the new IPSC standard target yet).
Of course, german citizens just go to neighbouring counrties where this is still allowed...

Eating meat is not energy effective (only about 1 percent of the energy a cow consumes by eating is converted to meat on our tables). The slaves of the future (i.e. nearly everyone) will have to survive on a vegetarian diet.

Guard officials expressed exasperation at the PETA position, noting that thousands of chickens are slaughtered every day at the Purdue Farms operations on the Eastern Shore. "It's okay for soldiers to kill people, but they can't kill chickens?" said a Guard officer. "What do they think happens to the rest of the chickens in the world?"

Well, in PETA-think, yep. The more people killed, the better off all the little furry, feathered, and/or scaled friends will be...

Ask a Vietnamese peasant plowing his rice paddy with the help of a water buffalo what he thinks about the "ethical treatment of animals". He'll probably get a good chuckle out of it. Who thinks this crap up? I guess once you don't have to spend your entire day making a meager living stitching Reeboks together for fat American consumer feet, you can sit around the house idly and dream up idiotic causes to rally for. North America and Western Europe is filled with underworked and well-fed people who want their societies to "return to nature", while the remaining 95% of the planet's population says "Screw nature, let me in and give me an air-conditioned place and all the steak I can eat." An ecological conciousness is difficult to develop when you spend the better part of your life hip-deep in ecology, trying to get food for your family out of Mother Earth. Mother Earth tends to be surprisingly unyielding if you don't work her over with modern and motorized farm implements.
Humans are hardly the strongest species on the planet, but we do have those opposable thumbs and relatively big brains. Natural selection is what turned the gazelle and the cow into food. Their brains are barely adequate for breathing, moving and chewing grass at the same time, and you won't find a cow being too concerned with the ethical treatment of other species. A cow does not spend a single moment of its life thinking "Gee, I wonder what's going to happen to me tomorrow, or ten minutes from now." If cows were humans, they'd stand around and drool a lot. Cows and deer are perfectly free to develop brains enabling them to invent bullet-proof vests and ranged weapons, but they haven't been successful so far. Therefore, they are what's for dinner. If we didn't have guns, do you think lions and other predators would even tangentially concern themselves with ethics while they are busy fitting us into their dinner plans?
Bunch of morons...let them live in South America or sub-Saharan Africa for a year, and deny them everything they are rallying against now.
