I have "Beef" with PETA

I was sitting down thinking to myself, what does PETA really think they are providing?  Other than a large source of even larger jokes, and a place to go for anal retentive mothers whos children don't return their phone calls anymore.  First and formost they try to protect animals such as cows, sheep, chickens, and fish.  I even found an article that spawned a literary binding(I refuse to call it a book) on how fish had intelligence, and that we were limiting the worlds intelligent animals by killing these fish and eating them.  First of all here is a list of things that fish have done for us:

1)

In the article it also mentioned that you would never put a hook through a dogs mouth.  I also don't see dogs running around in packs of a 1000.  In the article it said that "Once people start to understand that fish, although they come in different packaging, are just as intelligent, they'll stop eating them."  First things first, fish don't really care or worry about getting eaten.  I have my doubts that when they see a hook they worry that when they skewer their face with it, they will die.  They wouldn't do that if it were the case.  In addition, fish provide a healthy portion of a daily diet.  People with heart problems have come to the conclusion that fish reduce the risk of heart attack.  Is PETA simply trying to protect the humble creatures of the sea, or are they screwing over our heart patients?  I believe the answer is clear.  An executive even said "We'd rather go too far than not far enough."  If so then he should become a priest.

The funny thing is, PETA is protesting against the eating of common farmyard animals that do absolutely nothing but get old and sick.  Those animals live a happy and fulfilling life being fed the highest quality of food, and then at the prime of their existence they are killed.  PETA though, would rather them live to become very old, weak, and misreable.  Good job guys.  Good job indeed.
