ARRRGGGGHH!!!

For those who have been watching VH1s Rock of Love or Rock of Love Charm School will know of Lacey and her Animal Rights Activism. Those who watched last night's episode of Rock of Love will now know that Lacey eats fish, making her not only not a vegan but not a vegetarian (you eat fish, fish is meat, you are not a vegetarian. Let's get that through our heads people). So, Dallas tells Lacey that she is a hypocrite because she is eating fish, more specifically Salmon and Caviar, while preaching about animal rights. Well, of course, they got into a fight and while I do feel Dallas could have handled it better, she didn't touch Lacey at all. Where as, Lacey went on being her usual self; antagonizing and trying to get Dallas to do something. All that aside, Vh1 cut out Lacey's explanation on why she eats fish, which was the topic of her latest blog entry over at MySpace (I really wanted to know which is why I hunted it down).

All I can say is WHAT THE HELL??!!!
To do something is better than doing nothing???!!!

Yes, while this is a noble statement, it is still hypocritical when it comes to animal rights. By giving animals rights they should be given the right not to be hunted, killed and/or eaten and that includes fish. Anyone who says fish is not meat is idiotic and needs to re-evaluate their ideas of what meat is.

Someone commented this further down on the site:
Fish are missing the part of the cerebral cortex necessary for them to feel pain. To me an animal who doesn't register pain is not an animal who counts anyway. I am not a vegetarian for "health reasons". I just don't feel that I should deprive my body of natural calcium. I would if I didn't know how important natural calcium is in the far future. I eat meat at least once or twice a week. You can fight for animal rights and have a steak dinner to celebrate saving an animal. You are only doing what is natural for a human to do. Omnivorous glory and topped with a medium rare steak.

That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard. So by that logic let's just eat psychopaths. They have no emotions and can feel no pain or remorse. HEY! Let's eat Megan!! Not to mention the fact that fish are fully aware of what is happening to them while they are dieing. A five year old could tell you that. They may not feel pain but what the hell do you think they are doing when they flop around on the ground once out of water?! Trying to get back in. They know they are about to die and are trying to change that. Obviously any animal rights activist who eats fish has not been fishing.

Which leads me to why I feel PETA is the worst representation of Animal Rights Activists and sadly that is the only representation we have (it's the same bisexuals. Our only vocal representation is a whore). They are all about saving the cows and the baby seals. Have you ever seen a video of a fish being killed on PETA? No. In fact the only animal cruelty they show on TV is fish. They have fishing shows! Even though fish don't cry out in pain or fear does not mean they do not know they are dieing. Vegan and animal rights activists have gotten a bad name from PETA who are a bunch of hypocrites anyways. I'm surprised that the whole thing about the PETA leader thinking all pit bulls should be euthanized and two PETA participants killing stray cats in the back of a van isn't brought up more often. Oh, wait, I'm not, because PETA is made up of people like Lacey and Megan. People who will lie and manipulate their way out of anything and make them look like the victim in the end. I'm sure the PETA leader was attacked by a dog when she was a child. Well, I was once attacked by a PETA representative, there for all PETA followers should be put down. See the logic, it makes no sense.

Just to add to it Lacey never really comes out and states her reason for eating fish. She pawns it all off on "It's your fault America. Do something instead of nothing." She does state that she is against factory farming. Well, fish are factory farmed. How do you think we get so many? Do you think it's all some Japanese fisherman on his boat catching fish for America? Or is it a bunch of tough guys on big ships wrangling fish, risking their lives?

Whatever, if you're going to fight for animal rights, fight for them all and not just to your convenience. And don't give me bull crap about God put certain animals on the planet for us to eat. 1) According to the bible they were here before us and no where does it say for eating, 2) that is the ignorant shit that started slavery, and 3) we now have processed food, they can make fake meat for you that tastes a lot like meat and is just as healthy. Also, the whole thing of it's unhealthy to not eat meat, bull crap! It has been proven that a vegan diet is much healthier than a meat diet and I don't just mean red meat either. Do the research. I didn't just decided, oh poor animals I think I'll stop eating them. I made sure that I wasn't harming my self by doing it first. Research, Research, Research. It's not just for school. When I think about, I have yet to get an anti-vegan/vegetarian argument that isn't completely idiotic and/or poorly thought out. All I can say is, do the research.

Wow, that was longer than I intended and I rambled a lot, plus I am now late for class. Ah, well, it was worth it. I'm tired of idiotic hypocrites giving my believes and life styles a bad name.
