It sends the wrong message to children, that it's OK to harm animals.

No! It sends the message that you should clean up after yourself. If you it a cat, don't just leave it lying there, ffs. Take it home.

(In Tennessee a few years ago, there was a big debate over a Roadkill Bill making it legal to eat what you run over. It passed.)

They have gummi green army men, that's more disturbing somehow.

Yeah, but they don't make gummi babies with "tire treads." What they're protesting is the idea that roadkill is funny.

Personally I'm always embarrassed when these organizations set themselves up to be ridiculed. (Maybe they figure any publicity for their cause is good publicity?)

But I get their point. Roadkill is a sad fact of life, but acknowledging this and showing a modicum of respect for the animals that get run over is made out to be such a ridiculous, needlessly sentimental thing to do.

In general,life has lots of large and small tragedies that people seem intent on turning into fodder for jokes.

seven months pass...

twats.

i used to live kind of opposite the boathouses. in the middle of winter the rowers would be out there in the fog, with torches, preparing for the boatrace. burning down boathouses is lame.

It said: "We are stronger than you, we have more resolve than you and we never give up.

"If we have to destroy every bit of property you own we will, in order to stop you inflicting your profit-driven cruelties on defenceless creatures.

haha they didn't know all the properties are insured?

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:04 (eighteen years ago) link

and this one!!!!
It warned the company: "We have identified and tracked down many of your senior executives and also junior staff, as well as those from other HLS customers.

"Drop HLS or you will face the consequences. For all the animals inside HLS, we will be back."

if you believe that testing things on animals is a most evil thing, then surely by that logic, you'll know that a company that would test things on animals WON'T GIVE A SHIT if a couple of their staff get injured and killed (a lesser evil obviously)

they really ought to disappear in a puff of logic

People have finally been arrested for nicking the corpse of an elderly woman related to a guinea pig farm owner, a year ago. The decaying OAP has never been found.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:33 (eighteen years ago) link

That'll stop them testing those row-boats on animals any more!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:59 (eighteen years ago) link

hahaha it was foggy, i wasn't to know those boats were CREWED BY MOLES.

― N_RQ, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 10:05 (eighteen years ago) link

nicking corpses is one thing, but surely it's perfectly acceptable to destroy boathouses and incidentally deprive all the moronic lugs that stagger round oxbridge of their one pseudo-legitimising pursuit.

― barbarian cities (jaybob3005), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 11:00 (eighteen years ago) link

now i was never a rower nor a friend to rowers, but i dunno if they really were morons, in the grand scheme of things.

― N_RQ, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 11:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I've got several friends who were rowers and they were all pretty damn smart and awesome.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 12:33 (eighteen years ago) link

i've got several friends who are rowers and they're most certainly morons. they're the type to try and vivisect an animal rights protestor after 12 pints of snakebite and black down the fulham road slug n lettuce.

― barbarian cities (jaybob3005), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:10 (eighteen years ago) link

I think that's possibly because they suck, not because they're rowers.

― The Ghost of Trying Hard Not To H-Bomb (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:14 (eighteen years ago) link

they can probably do better maths than i can. being from oxford. or spell better. or both.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:32 (eighteen years ago) link

whilst they do quite possibly suck as individuals, having been surrounded by rowers for 3 years at college i would suggest that, as a group, they conform to their stereotype of moronic, boorish, posh lad suckers.

You're hanging out with a bunch of internet dorks, what does that say about you?

was a rower for a few months at school, but couldn't hack that schedule with being an engineering student

yup. Do these guys tend to be communications majors? or School of Natural Resources burn-out types?

― kingfish superman ice cream (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:19 (eighteen years ago) link

and it's fucking retarded to do all that shit. i'd like to see more humane treatment of animals, sure, but this only hurts the cause. which makes me think it's just a bunch of bored assholes who are looking for an excuse to fuck shit up.

― gear (gear), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:22 (eighteen years ago) link

fuck off, you guys, MOST animal rights activists don't blow shit up and are not insane twats.

my brother is an ex-rower neurosurgeon who doesn't blow insane twats up.

seems like reasonably self aware animals have as much a right to personhood as corporations do

seems questionable, how much money do they make

― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 17:14 (nine years ago) link

or perhaps I should say "how much value do they create"
