She truly deserves this. She survived the Taliban's bullet, but most importantly, survived the Taliban's rhetoric.

She is also the perfect response to the inevitable Thanksgiving tirade from Drunk Uncle: "I bet you can't name me one Mooslim that had come out and said terrorism is wrong!"

A flock of chickens (or whatever the hell a group of chickens are called) treed me once. I was up there for hours. I eat chicken for revenge.

In a way it reminds me of the anti-choicers who scream that pro-choicers should have been aborted, or that they hope our children die. The lack of logic there is perplexing.

Whatever it is that you feel qualifies you as a "successful" and "productive" member of society must not be associated with your ability to formulate an argument (or spell). Whatever feelings you have towards the livestock industry are irrelevant to this woman's actions. She is not addressing animal cruelty in the…

Oh, good grief. They're chickens. It is okay to joke about chickens on the internet. Chickens do not care about being respected. Eating chickens/joking about it doesn't mean that these people aren't interested in animal rights or good farming practices IRL.

Holy shit, dude. You know there's options between industrialized torture and fucking veganism, right? But whatever - keep beating that strawman.

I'm vegetarian. But when the vegan and pro lifers set up camp on my campus, they are equally annoying and terrifying. The vegans set up this tent w a maze inside and scream at you about how meat is murder. The pro lifers set up sky high posters of abortion pictures formed into a circle with mega phones.

As a horse person, I can tell you the picketers give those of us who are legitimately anti-horse consumption a bad name. The horse meat being served is from a tainted, unregulated food chain. Every horse, from pleasure to high level show, is given Ivermectin, bute, and a whole slew of drugs not approved for human…

There's a difference between caring about animal cruelty and storming into a restaurant to rant about your chicken-baby. There are plenty of ways to campaign for humane farming practices without being this person.

Yeah, I did the vegetarian thing for a while. I did the vegan thing for a while too. I thought the PETA types were assholes then, and I think they're assholes now. Like an ill-mannered Jehovah's Witness who isn't willing to take no for an answer.

It's pretty screwy that someone so concerned with animals' welfare would tell a person that she hopes her cat gets kidnapped and tortured. "You don't care about animal cruelty! I hope your cat dies, bitch!"

Now I wish I'd remembered my key. Oh well, Clara Blow1 will be back!

I don't recall seeing you here before this post, but I have now followed you. Please keep coming back.

No, no, no. No. Animal cruelty is wrong. We agree on that point. Completely. What's crazy is the way you choose to express this view. Dick Cheney shooting an Iraqi child is comparable to eating horse in front of people against eating horse? There's some loose circuitry up there, dude. Get that figured out.

Yeahhh...I mean, I've seen it. I think factory farms are bad, but I just don't care enough to not eat meat because of it. Be vegan, raise awareness, whatever. I don't appreciate being ranted at or proselytized to over my decision to eat meat.

I long for the day she has children, because when they are asked how many siblings they have, they would have to distinguish the ones who are human from the ones who are chickens.

Very Snow. Such chicken. Many Kelly. So violence. Wow.

I raised chickens growing up and can attest that yes, they are major assholes. Assholes that are best served fried with waffles.

There's a restaurant in Toronto that serves horse (its delicious!) and they get picketed from time to time by the anti-horse-eating people. The owner loves it, he says his regulars will come in when the restaurant is being picketed and sit in the window and eat horse at them. They usually sell out on the days they're…
