I love to laugh at those global warming hypocrites. You know the ones I mean: those idiots you read about in the news or see on TV preaching about global warming, only to then head off stage into their waiting private jet.

Agreeing With PETA: Sheer Torture

Should I start worrying about myself? After all, for the second time in just 4 months I am actually agreeing with an issue PETA has raised! (See my post on Ringling Bros. Circus Abuse for the first such occasion.)
Now, PETA has come out very strongly against a video on YouTube showing what is apparently a specialty of certain Chinese chefs who have come up with a way to keep a fish alive while deep frying it. In the video you can actually witness the fish lying in a platter of sauce, attempting to breathe, while diners begin picking chunks out of it to eat.
The Daily Telegraph reports that PETA called it “disgusting” and that a PETA spokesperson said that “every decent person should be shocked when anyone mocks or abuses a helpless dying animal”.
I couldn’t agree more. I may differ with PETA when it comes to eating meat (as long as the animal is killed for food, not sport, and killed as quickly and painlessly as possible), but watching this video shocked and sickened me to my core. The suffering that they are obviously putting that creature through is unspeakable.
Obviously, the Chinese don’t believe in karma.
For those of you with a strong stomach (seriously), here is the video. I strongly caution anyone with a combination of a strong conscience and a weak stomach not to watch this, as you quite possibly will have nightmares.
