I really do hate PETA.

I have always disliked PETA ever since I discovered Ingrid Newkirk would rather destroy a perfectly healthy animal than have it as a 'slave' or pet as we call them. Such fucked up fundamentalist thinking has always made me super wary of people and organisations like PETA. My ire for them was further increased when they released ads that equated owning animals to people slavery, feeding a child meat = child cruelty, and the fact that they are willing to plaster naked women all over the place to highlight the exploitation of animals without irony, all of this seals the deal in terms of utter fucking stupidity in my book.
But no! I was wrong diddly wrong wrong. They have other levels of sheer stupidity.
Observe the emergence of 'sea kittens.'
What are sea kittens? Why they are fish. Fish. FISH!
Peta, being the idiots that they are, have decided to all fish sea kittens under the misguided notion that it will stop people eating them due to their big eyed fluffy cuteness.
Except fish aren't big eyed fluffy mini cats of cuteness, they're fish. Or food as I like to call them.
This is evidence-if ever more was needed- to the twisted mindset of the PETA drone. Can't you just imagine the high jinks and hysterics when they came up with this one. 'I know! Let's call the sea kittens and draw super cute pictures of them.'
Dear PETA, Finding Nemo is a cartoon. Pelicans kill and eat ducks regularly, my real honest to god cats kill birds/mice/Napoleons regularly, dogs kill squirrels/other dogs/rats/cats and I like to eat fish. Not because they are 'slimy and not cute' but because if you wrap them in tin foil and add rock salt they taste delicious.
PETA, what a bunch of absolute gobshites.




Unrelated Note.
There's no real exercise to report this week as I didn't keep a diary, I ran some, I did some weights, I attended kickboxing. However, I hit two PBs this week and I'm feeling chufed about them. One was the Deadlift (DL) where I jumped from lifting 65kilos before christmas to 72.5 Kilos, I did a set of five at this weight and it was comfortable, if wearing on my wrists. Sorted by a hook grip. I could have gone heavier I feel but my form might have suffered and anyway this is not a race.
The second involced one armed rows. I went from a 15k to 17.5 k. I did two sets of eight either arm after a warm up of 15kx10. Again it was fairly comfortable and I'm happy with the increase.
Next week I will be working hard on squats as I plan to kick Non Memnoch to death in class.
