69. This is getting old really quick

I told you what PETA said, you claimed they said something different, I corrected you with a direct quote. Whether or not you think it's nonsense is pretty much irrelevant to whether PETA has and does equate animals to humans. If that isn't nonsense, then PETA is guilty of mass murder. They don't get to have it both ways without being a hypocrite. If this is too hard to understand, I'm not going to draw you a picture.

Since you are so good at asking questions, here's some for you.

Do you think fruit and vegetable producers allow cute little sentient bunnies to eat their crops to their little hearts' content?

What do you think happens to all the thousands of "sentient beings" that live in grain fields when the combines come to harvest?

What do you think happens to all the thousands of "sentient beings" that live in cane fields when they burn them out prior to harvest?

And yes, I will still keep drinking milk and consuming livestock and I won't feel a bit of guilt. The next time you are munching on a carrot or head of lettuce, remember that the recommended "organic" method of rodent control is to feed them cement mixed with flour and sugar. I'll let you think about what happens next while you are on your self-righteous high horse.
