Bears, Wolves, Foxes, Rabbits, Giant Ants?, are in the same boat as Black People?

No. That's a hard pass for me.

They are hated by both the left and the right.

They are extremists and they support terrorism.

They don't deserve anything from me other than for me to eat meat any time I see anything from or about them.
I despise that people consider the a left leaning organization.

I applaud PETA's message, but I'm conflicted with PETA's 'In your face' approach to delivering it.




Brother Buzz has been the spokesperson for The Latham Foundation for Human Education for over 80 years. He became a TV star in 1952 when Ralph Chessé created a KPIX TV production with marionettes. The Wonderful World of Brother Buzz produced under the sponsorship of the Latham Foundation for the promotion of Humane Education became the longest sustaining children's program in the history of San Francisco television, lasting from 1952 to 1969.

But this ad inspires me, as it should all patriotic Americans to take a knee during the National Anthem in support of our Democratic Republic currently in peril.

That was my take on the ad.

However, I suspect FOX was more than happy to oblige.
