Agenda, agenda, agenda…

Is this really the most important thing right now???

This is what I grew up with…

But PETA pushed for Nabisco to change the box graphic to teach children animal diversity. Nabisco removed the ‘offensive’ bars on the animal in cages graphics.

The did- But that wasn’t good enough for PETA even after they did away with the bars.

They wanted to see the animals free roaming without cages, coexisting, all living in harmony, just like in the wild, right? Lions and tigers living together, walking side by side with giraffes and zebras and no bloodshed? Teach the children?

The only thing ‘this’ will teach the children is how stupid PETA is. Predator and prey DO NOT walk side by side… Sigh…

The whole article is HERE, and honestly I’m surprised they didn’t force Nabisco to do away with the crackers designs and make them non-offensive circles or something else…

In other agendas, apparently the Hugos were handed out this weekend, to all females in every category. Apparently one man was listed, second fiddle of course, only because he’s partnered with his wife in whatever category it was. I haven’t even bothered to look. I AM waiting for the Dragon Awards, and I DID vote there, since that truly is a fan generated award!

  1. Woman are an under estimated value. I never knew I was putting the milk in the refrigerator incorrectly until I was married. :^)

  2. Someone tell PETA that children actually EAT those animals. It’ll make their heads explode.
    The Hugos. Remember when getting a Hugo actually meant something?

  3. I prefer to eat the free range animal crackers over the caged ones.
    More sporting that way.

  4. If PETA actually focused on certain real problems for animals like industrial farming they might actually accomplish something good. Instead they do meaningless stuff like this.

  5. Wait, does this mean a possible product tie-in for Rimworld Animals? Maybe with a shuttle and forcefield theme?

    Ages with the above sentiments. Some group of people always want to ruin the fun. Sigh, indeed.

  6. Just wait until Nabisco mass markets their latest product – PETA Vegetable Crackers. Made with pine nuts, tofu, and free range clover.

  7. I used to eat the heads off the animal crackers first when I was a kid. You’ll say, “that makes sense given what you did for a living.” PETA would have been aghast.

    • Like a rancher I knew who averred, “I eat beef to get even.”

      Doesn’t everyone eat the heads first? Like eating the ears on a chocolate rabbit first.

      • Oh, I ate the feet first, to keep them from running away…

  8. >This is what I grew up with…
    And look how you turned out!
    😉

  9. All- Can’t disagree, and yes, heads first… Mrs.C how ‘dare’ you inject reality! 🙂

    Posted from my iPhone.

  10. And I will continue to bite off their heads. So there.

    Makes me want to market a meat flavored version with raspberry filling.

  11. Best use for animal crackers (with a child 7-10 years old) is a “safari” – I suggest 5-10 yds with a 22 rifle and iron sights or a red dot, out to maybe 20 or 25 yds if it’s scoped.

  12. I reread this post this morning, and a part of the box that is so obvious you miss it got my attention. The top of the box says “Barnum’s Animals”, as in Barnum & Bailey’s Circus animals. The circus that PETA ran out of business for cruelty to animals, and the animals were a large part of the circus, at one time.

    Is PETA continuing the fight against the circus?

  13. One of our English teachers was munching a box of these, and had given her students the article to read. I passed along the suggestion for a box showing the lion eating the zebra. She liked the idea.

  14. Ed- LOL

    Jay- That’s what tin cans were for, we ATE them… LOL

    Steve- That they did.

    TXRed- Oh… LOVE it! 🙂
