Silly/Annoying/Funny Things Omnis Say

I know the protein thing has been done to death, but I swear I've been seeing it all over the place lately.
You have a headache? Eat meatz 4 proteenz!
You pulled a muscle? Proteenz!~!1
You got shampoo in your eye? It wouldn't hurt if you had proteensz!
Cat ran away? PROTEENZ

It's their answer to everything.

I don't like your post, needs more protein.

I was stupid too - very much "I'll never go vegetarian, I looooove meat!". Looking back on this sort of stuff gives me hope for all the omnis like that still in existence.

I've found that anything stupid I said back then was mostly because I didn't educate myself. I honestly thought I was right.

I think most omnis do. When my young son approached me about his going vegetarian, I said all the wrong things in a panic of proteinzz and growing boyzz. Even though I had been veg in college, I had no idea about anything until I started reading.

This is just general, but I'm so, so sick of animal rescues doing fundraisers with barbecue and hamburgers. Hypocritical idiots.

I suspect I'm going to rant about this on Facebook soon, and some FB friends involved with my rabbit rescue are going to get all hurt feelings over it.

Fear not. You can come to my local RSPCA centers summer fundraiser, they use free range beef, which makes everything alright.

On a similar note; aquariums that sell fish, wildlife parks that serve meat, and so on. It seems bizarre.

That reminds me, someone at my work was talking about the restaurant/bar Shaka-zulu in Camden, they sell Zebra steaks. ACTUAL ZEBRA. What the hell?

I know it's no different to other animals, and it's odd as it annoys me when people will eat duck but not chicken and lamb but not rabbit etc. so I don't know why it bothers me, but ACTUAL ZEBRA? This just getting silly now

 

[RabbitLuvr]

Yep. The rabbit rescue I volunteer with is doing some auction fundraiser thing in December, the first organized fundraiser they've done in the five years I've been involved with them.

But I'm not going, as the food is all BBQ, baked beans that will likely contain meat, mac&cheese, etc.

I was also invited to a fundraiser over the summer for a dog rescue, which was held at a bar and served hamburgers. I played the cancer card to get out of that one.

The rabbit rescue manager constantly sends me links to animal-related petitions and such, which I usually just delete and move on. (Some of them are in the petition thread here, so I've already seen them.) It took every ounce of my willpower this morning to not go off on her when she sent me a link to the Lou & Bill (oxen) one. I politely asked her to take me off the list of people she sends petitions to, and she got all defensive about how she thought of all her friends, I would want to help.

I am becoming less and less tolerant of the hypocrisy.

 

[TreeHugger]

Likewise at my centers summer fundraiser, not one vegan option.

It's hard with people like that, because they genuinely think they're 'animal lovers' and in my experience you end up looking like a stereotypical 'extreme vegan' if you dare to mention that they are signing a petition about oxen while eating a hamburger.

It's frustrating.

Did anyone else hear about the Philip Schofield/guinea pig fiasco? He was in a country where it is traditional to eat guinea pig (can't remember where) & he posted on his twitter that he was about to have some. There was a big outrage; people complaining, saying it was disgusting /unacceptable/upsetting etc.

Now, obviously I don't agree with eating guinea pig. It just cracks me up that people think it's any different to eating any other animals & this is a perfect example of it. Fools.

There's a pub in my town which has a "world steaks" menu. Ostrich, Buffalo, Kangaroo, Wild Boar, Antelope and Zebra.

And some members of my family though I was being unreasonable because I refused to go eat there. There was one vegetarian thing on the entire menu - a lasagne.

Here in Florida, nearly the only place on earth with (recently endangered but now prolific) alligators living wild, people eat them in restaurants. I think some people are just like toddlers: they just put everything that might fit into their mouths.

 

[Digger]

Apparently, Australian women who don't get their recommended daily serving of red meat become anxious and depressed!

Eating almost endangered alligators, good one, ******* morons.

I've never understood this, why eat a chicken but get upset about a guinea pig (which is why I'm not sure why I'm so outraged about the zebra, but I just am, they don't even belong in England, let alone on our plates).

LOL that is pretty unreasonable...

I agree with you. I knew a girl who went to Peru and I saw some photos of the cooked guinea pigs and it did look quite gross as they are eaten whole and on a stick or something. I knew a guy who said he really admired sharks and used to watch documentaries about them but he ate shark when he was abroad.
