Is it wrong to troll PETA?

Just wondering because dang is that over the top reaction ever fun!

Relax, its on another board.

So you are trolling trolls? I say go have fun.

I was helping a friend out who's industry (local anti dairy protest) has been targeted but those people have no sense of humor which makes for really interesting conversations.

If Trolling PETA is wrong, I don't want to be right

Without the dairy industry there would be millions of unemployed cows!

I was just talking about PETA this morning. You know who they don't throw red paint on for wearing fur coats? Pimps, that's who.

Somehow I got on the PETA mailing list some years ago. They kept sending me sooo much E36 M3 for donations n such that I'd clip coupons for burger joints and supermarket meat sales and stuff 'em in their postage paid return envelope and send 'em back. Yum.

you know if you glue postage paid postcards to concrete blocks it gets kinda pricey for them

I cant count how many times ive been kicked off boards for troloing fanatics. My favorite, amd no one has been able to do it, was when i offered someone, anyone $$$ to successfully argue against same sex marriage without the bible.

I dunno 'bout no trollin', but what do you guys think about GLUE TRAPS? I have this mouse problem, and GLUE TRAPS seem like a really neat solution. You put the GLUE TRAP down, the mouse gets stuck, you come back in a month or three and toss them out. It's Win-Win.

In reply to Dr. Hess:

LOL, I remember that guy. That was hilarious.

In reply to Dr. Hess:

My aunt's mom reused glue traps. My aunt tells the story better, but imagine the typical sweet little old southern 80 something year old grandma, lived through the Depression, wastes nothing.

She was having rodent issues, and happened to have caught one of the vermin on a glue trap while my aunt and cousins were visiting. She proudly showed off her catch, and commented on how handy those glue traps are. On her way to the trash can to dispose of the recent catch she grabbed a pair of scissors. Then as everyone watched in disbelief she held the glue trap and mouse upside down over the trash can, and snip, snip, snip, snip, separated the mouse from the glue trap, into the trash. In shock and disbelief my aunt and cousin's looked at the glue trap in her hand, and the others on the floor, each one was like a tiny Stonehenge of little mouse legs and fur.

No point in wasting a perfectly good glue trap I guess.

I've stopped using glue traps. Seem to catch everything except the mouse I was trying for. Caught a lizard and a couple frogs on them. Dog even got tangled up in one.

Back on the PETA thing. I recently saw a Meme that stated something about the lack of consistency with PETA protests. They'll protest the rich and their fur coats but won't say anything about bikers and their leather.

I once caught one of my Mitchell service manuals. 20 years later, its still stuck to the back cover.

A stroll down memory lane:

PETA operative 'HenryC' shows up page 2. Ahh, phun times.

That's a good one.

PETA can be pretty bad (I am a fan of animals, but they can be WAY over the top). I once heard a pretty well known PETA fellow comment to the Governor of Alaska on how it would be nice to stop the sled dog races because it's cruel to make the dogs work like that.

I don't know that much about sled dogs, but I am pretty sure it would be cruel NOT to let the dogs pull something.

I think you are more wrong not to troll them, but don't you have anything better to do than troll the trolls?

They don't throw red paint on bikers for wearing leather jackets either.

Ever notice how they never go to an Inuit village and start shooting their mouths off?

obviously PITA is smarter than we thought

I dislike them. However they sure turned me onto some really great eggs a few years ago. Too bad they chased the monks out of business that were selling them. http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20080109/ARCHIVES/301099950

I had a phone interview for a research job with them a few years ago. Times was hard... I expressed sincere contrition for lab rat related atrocities. Lots of follow up Q's on my canine cohabitant being "special needs". Fast and clumsy should qualify, I thought. I think I confirmed that no clothes or materials were derived from animals or sentient plants. Shoes, belts, underwear, yes, all vinyl. Damn. It was a trap. Petrochemical products are dino based. No call back on that one.
