PETA Police

The story is more than a little warped to say the least.  The person that is involved thinking up the “business” is more than a little warped too.  At least in my thinking.  But it is a good “cold day” buzz to relieve this cold weather “shut-in-it is” that some are feeling now.

 

But giving an opinion on this will likely have P.E.T.A. reading my blog at some point. There are PETA Police searching the Internet all the time from the look of it.

 

It seems that Holly Crawford brought down the wrath of PETA by doing a rather ridiculous thing – making a stray cat go through a series of Piercings.  The kittens found in Holly’s possession had ear piercings, a nape piercing, and one kitten had a tail docked.

 

Daphna Nachminovitch, a VP at PETA, called the piercings barbaric.  They had been discovered by the PETA Police.  Holly was providing a service to the world now, at least Holly’s world, to do piercings for other people’s kitties. Holly used the Internet and her Web Site to tell locals what she was able to do for their kittens.

 

The language used is important.  Kitten – not cat.  Barbaric, Cruel, Suffer… all must be in the text of dumb PETA people.  Now watch it Murray – you can hear the hoof beat of PETA Coppers coming… they ride COWs not Hogs.

 

I am more convinced that PETA People have never gone to a farm where the most tough creatures are the Cats that live outside.  The murderous little beasts live near their supper all the time… and breakfast and snacks. It is nothing to see her majesty Matilda the cat walking home with a squealing mouse in her mouth… at least he squeals for a short time as she readies him for supper.

 

Sometimes Matilda will be kind of full when she snaps up little fury Barry the field mouse. So she simply snatches him with a little nip. Holds him for a small time and then lets him go… about one foot… then hammers him again and again.  It is where we get the famous phrase from, “He was with like a cat with a mouse.”

 

I bet PETA People don’t use that expression much – even when they talk about Holly and the local SPCA folk that they goaded on to press charges against Holly and her boy friend.  You need to note only Holly did the Piercing – her boyfriend answered the telephone – that was enough to PETA to react like a “Bear woken in her den”.  You don’t wake up a Bear from its deep winter sleep – unless you intend to place a well planned bullet in its noggin and take it home for meat and the pelt.

 

Oops… I wrote about what a friend of mine did here in our area.  He is a licensed hunter.  He was hunting. He stopped for a rest by a tree, taking in the beautiful scene around and the fact that his area has never ever seen a PETA person.  He felt something move on his foot as he stood by the tree.  He looked down thinking that it was a squirrel or something startled by his quiet presence.  Nope – not a silly squirrel.  It was a 450 pound bear that had just crept out of his lair for a stretch and laid his head down on the hunter’s foot… sniffing him.

 

Needless to say there wasn’t any pain inflicted.  It was over in a humane instant… and the pelt is so soft… the meat was good (someone told me) and everyone was happy.  Mr. Bear had torn a few cottages apart in getting to his 450 pounds.  He liked people food and people places.

 

Like any writer I would rather die than reveal my sources… so hoof beats or not – I told the story.

 

Remember the farm.  Well on the farms that I stayed on and attended often and even worked on… animals remained animals.  They didn’t live in the house with you.

 

Only in one case did I see a fruit loop run a farm. She was a little strange though. She used a home made diaper for calves that she started out by taking them into her kitchen pen.  You know – she used a baby minder kind of across the door as a barrier and the dumb calf stayed their in the warm house wearing a diaper because it tended to mess the floors up.  The diaper was easily removed and shaken outside in the garden… and you could easily tell when it was full.

 

Later she would place the calf in a pig pen with one pig.  The pig in turn taught the calf to only poop in one place in the pen – because that is what pigs do.  The calf was cruelly forced by that pig to mess in only one spot.

 

Talk about unnatural what this woman did.  Again she is protected by my own confidentiality rules.

 

PETA watch your COW machines… this “farmer lady” was a former Nun that had left the convent to become a farmer and that is all that I can tell you.

 

But back on the farm the dumb dog is trained to keep the intruders out. And should PETA Cops arrive on their varoom machines, Fido will kick up such a stink that they will be very careful to dismount. In fact anything hanging down off the PETA Police’s COW will be bitten.  Fido likes to bite.

 

Fido likes to roam too.  He will be in a neighbor’s yard in a heart beat when their dog is in heat.  But that is another thing about farms… what comes naturally is done easily without rules.  So they chain up Fido when the girl down the road is calling him to come over.  Kind of like Samson and Delilah.

 

PETA IS POWERFUL… and you don’t dare mess with a PETA Police Person.

 

In our home we are good… meaning we are safe. The tropical Siamese fighting fish is looked after well, fed each day, given clean water often and lives easily like all dumb fish should.  He has only tried to jump out on the counter top once when I tried to clean him.  And to my knowledge there are no PETF police yet... but there could be.

 

And the Lord help us and my Chinese friends that run their market stalls selling the live fish for supper.

 

Did I ever tell you the one about Matilda catching the song birds in the yard.  She was good and she looked so funny with the tiny black feather sticking from the side of her mouth… kind of made her grin wider and more evil… naughty little cat.

 

Summation – I live in a completely nutso world where things are kind of upside down.  And it is Cold OUTISIDE… brrrrr!
