PETA goes after Eliza Dushku for professing enjoyment in hunting
(Apologies...I'm in Afghanistan so I'm limited to the number of websites I can link to, hence the NYPost)

Link

ELIZA Dushku has the soul of a flesh-eating, cannibalistic serial killer, if you believe PETA. In its latest bulletin, the animal-rights zealots fume that the star of Fox's "Dollhouse" was "bragging on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' about hunting deer, elk and other defenseless ungulates. While the audience reacted in horror, Dushku attempted to defend herself by saying that it's OK for her to hunt because she eats those she kills. Eliza, please meet Jeffrey Dahmer. :hi: He ate those he killed, too."

And, just to make sure this thread gets off on the right foot:

4. Looks like she could use some more meat on HER bones
I find these visible skeletons to be a major turnoff.

10. That's okay, Canucki. That's more for the rest of us carnivores.
Fuck PETA.

I just heard someone on the radio today saying how eating corn that is imported from half way across the country could be morally indefensible compared to eating beef that is fed only on grasses on a local farm. There's some serious irony in that concept if you're a vegan.

Stay safe, Major!! Airborne. All the Way!! (Do they still say that?)

21. Yes indeed, a carnivore I am
And while I don't hate PETA, I could at least respect them if they stuck to a sensible, coherent message about animal consumption.

When they went off against milk a few years ago, I knew they had lost it in the public's eye. And my own.

Their own antics and PR stunts have marginalized them to a joke status.

Unfortunately, they've taken all vegans with them as their de facto "advocacy group".

37. Cows aren't supposed to eat corn - it causes all sorts of health problems for them
why do you think they have to be given anti-biotics?

oh well...enjoy your steak.

14. Eeehhh?
I can't figure out which one is more disgusting to look at...the oily redneck girl in the saggy bathing suit that looks like a wet diaper, or that gross piece of lamb, which even when really well prepared, will always taste like rancid roadkill. :shrug:

At any rate, I think I just lost my appetite for anything, meat product included.

Way below your standards, sharp knees and all that. :rofl:

19. Well,
Edited on Sat Jan-31-09 02:09 PM by Vektor
I wouldn't let her IN bed in the first place. She'd stain the sheets with that greasy coating, and looks like she'd smell faintly of chicken fat and B.O.

FWIW, that Palin wench is hideous too. Never understood the public obsession there. To each their own, I guess. :shrug:

15. Looks like she needs to eat a bit more of what she kills
Another 20 pounds on her body would do wonders for her.



I don't know what "Dollhouse" is, for which I'm profoundly grateful.





I'd like to note that killing and eating wild animals insures that the meat is organic, free-range, and antibiotic and growth-hormone free. And that massive food-processing corporations didn't make a dime on all that meat.

22. What's PETA's stance on the necessary hunting of deer in the northeastern US to control the
overpopulation caused when people moved in and killed off or drove away all the natural predators in the area?

24. I don't like hunting
But comparing an actress who likes to hunt to a FUCKING SERIAL KILLER is disgusting. If I were one of the victims families I would be so going after PETA for that asinine statement.

35. I wish they were more vocal.Thank GOD there is an organization that never misses a chance
to call attention to the plight of defenseless animals at the hands of a supposedly "superior" species.

Rock on PETA!
