P.E.T.A. butchers Oklahoma town name

dys- THAT is a prime example of political correctness gone beserk!

Proof that being well-intentioned doesn't require exceptional intelligence. Sort of gives the word 'inept' a greater significance.

The irony......... Slaughter the grocer.

Peta just recently put up a billboard campaign here, all about mad cows were going to get us. Pretty sick, considering how awful the fallout was here... job losses, farm bankrupcies, suicides.......

I remember a Disney mini-series about a character named Texas John Slaughter.

Then there's the hall of fame outfielder, Enos "Country" Slaughter.

Texas John Veggie?

Enos "Country" Tofu?

Personally, I think that that is ridiculous-- almost as bad as renaming Christmas 'Winterval.'

I hope that they stubbornly hold on to the name Slaughterville; sounds better than Veggieville, anyway!

(cautiously sneaking in here...)

Being from Oklahoma, I'm rather surprised the Native American tribes haven't objected by now. Much better case for offense than the animals.

I do believe those PETA folks need lives.

The NAACP is fighting a local battle here trying to rename a local neighborhood that has been known as "White City" since it was built. It was originally the site of a large dairy. On top of a prominent hill, all the buildings were painted white, thus the name "White City Dairy." Nothing at all to do with racism. Once again, a tempest in a teapot.

We seem to be good at that here 'bouts....

And a pro football receiver named Webster Slaughter..

Doesn't PETA do any research before they start on campaigns like that?

PETA is a secular group with a fervor akin to religion--the suggestion that considered thought would govern their activities is laughable, and about as likely intellectual rigor and honesty from the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Thing is -- shouldn't they support the name Slaughterville? Isn't it an apt description of something that was going on there? I wouldn't think it very useful for anybody to change the word "slaughterhouse" to "fun-happy-cow-place."

PETA...old news I know!
I was just looking up some information on the history of the town of Slaughterville and happened across this message forum and PETA's feeble attempt to change the towns name. I have been in the pet/animal industry for years and in answer to someone's question...No, I don't think PETA has ever done any real research on any topic before rushing in with their mighty Asparagus Spears of indignant righteousness and Mango Maltov's in their quest for....whatever. Let them eat their Vegemite and broccoli. I think I'll go out for a burger and think of my friends definition of PETA in Oklahoma....People Eating Tasty Animals.

PPAPP anyone? PETA Pinheads Are Profoundly Pathetic

lady j so glad you found us

Ha, that was a funny post Lady J. Welcome to A2K.

My favorite bumper sticker said:

If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?

I wonder if Willy Slaughter lives there?

P.E.T.A


People Eatting Tastie Animals

Thank ya'll kindly for the very nice welcome. It is indeed a joy to be here.

I don't stand on soap boxes and I don't ring door bells and hand out literature. I eat chicken, fish, beef, eggs and cheese. I stumbled across the link below last night and this post tonight. Maybe it was meant to be. Just spend 2 minutes and watch the preview of Peaceable Kingdom. It speaks for itself. Just 2 minutes, and if you are as shocked as I was and really have guts, you can also spend another 3 1/2 minutes and watch Witness at the same link. The music is lovely so turn up your speakers.

Welcome newt. I hope you enjoy this community as much as I have thus far. I am no offical greeter here of course and none too many know me very well yet, but you'll find some of the most articulate, impressive, witty, smart, kind, expressive, talented people than you could anywhere else.

Hi Lady J,

Thank you for the warm welcome! I have noticed the level of stimulating, humorous and intelligent conversation and that is what has prompted me to register and post.
