"It would serve as a tribute to the victims, according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which also seeks installation of a second memorial to six cows killed in traffic after they were thrown from a truck that overturned on Oct. 14 near Cambridge, Ill.

The markers would be the first official highway memorials in the U.S. dedicated to animals killed in traffic accidents. Two previous applications submitted in Virginia, to honor almost 200 pigs killed in traffic wrecks, were turned down."




I'm moooved to tears about this.

Some PETA members, and PETA in general believe and gain from the belief that the value of the life of an animal is equivalent to the value of the life of a human. From that mindset, it makes rational sense to want those lost lives be memorialized. Seeking the memorial for animals killed in traffic accidents probably draws less ire than comparing farming to the Holocaust, but it's the same reasoning.

But the premise draws fire as being insanely stupid, even if it's not offensive, so it still draws ire.

This is udder nonsense but that won't keep them from milking it.

What does physical appearance have to do with anything?

I have no beef with anyone here, though some of you seem to have a stake in things; I'll just take the bull by the horns and advise that if you feel your ox is being gored, calm down and maybe take a hoof down the road.

PETA sucks mutant cow rectums for dinner.

 

[marplots]

Those cows gave their lives so I could live. Altruistic martyrs, the lot of them.

If it's a fee PETA is willing to pay, who cares?

How in Hades can you think that is even remotely funny?

[Johny2x4]

Odd, I care more about dogs I see ran over than cows, go figure.

 

[Estellea]

If this is how PETA wants to spend their money then I say let them; it's not like they're an organisation who are supposed to help animals or something like that...oh wait.

I believe it was sarcasm carried over from the other thread.

Thanks, I know that but I still can't find it remotely funny. It's really bad form to joke about something like that.

I don't know, it was 16 cows that died and that seems like an awful lot, maybe enough to memorialize but there's gotta be a line or else every damn squirrel is going to wind up with a sign. And then there's the deer strikes.

But if those 200 pigs in VA were all killed in the same incident there should definately be a marker.
