Truth can be stranger than fiction! by Egon http://speakingofresearch.com/2009/01/17/sea-kittens-truth-can-be-stranger-than-fiction/#comment-636 Egon Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:19:48 +0000 http://speakingofresearch.com/?p=378#comment-636 Obviously the majority of us "thinking" people don't understand the double standard at which PeTA is poking fun. While this campaign is targeting children (the only humans who still objectively view life), it is blatantly showcasing the double standard of the 'animals = food' concept. Fish are socially acceptable fodder for the over-fed organisms we call Americans, yet felines are considered companions for middle-aged women rather than a delicious lunch. Perhaps it's my inquisitive nature, but this makes me wonder why I can't order up beer-battered kitten or puppy parmigiana next time I go out for dinner. What gives?

The manner in which they kill the birds is on the books as a felony in the state: They round them up, put them in sacks, pummel them with hammers to the head and then take them out and use long handled bolt cutterson their necks, killing them,of course. THIS IS RIGHT ON THE HSUS WEBSITE, under "Frequently asked questions?"but they have done nothing. I filed a brief with the Attorney General, because I am a swan expert, having worked for them for the last twelve years and winning MBTA coverage for them in 2001, with my friiend, Joyce Hill (HillvNorton) I have had two articles approved by major ornithological organizations and recently had one printed in a publication of Society of Canadian Ornithologists. My research shows they were here in 1585,drawn by the first European artist to document flora and fauna of Virginia. HSUS has the Canada Geese egg killing cotracts and wanted to get the mute swan contracts, but of course there will not be any more mute swans on the Chesapeake Bay, because they are all under a death sentance, created from lies by zombies who work for the agencies. HSUS should be cited as a co-conspirator in these felony killing as they knew about them and did nothing. That is a BREACH OF THE PUBLIC TRUST!!!!! Anyone who wants to work on this, should look at Savethemuteswans.com, look at my paper and then contact me.
