This Week on “The Ridiculous World of Anti-Ags”
There was quite a bit that happened in the past two weeks as far as anti-ags go, and I can’t really narrow down what I want to focus on. So, without further ado…here’s what you missed in the ridiculous world of anti-ags this week.
PETA Shames Baseball…
Our old friends at PETA are at it again. This time, they’ve “broken the internet” by claiming the word “bullpen” which, in baseball, is used to describe the exercise area for pitchers, is offensive to bulls. They claimed a “bullpen,” in agricultural terms, refers to the area in which a bull is held before he’s slaughtered therefore is offensive to bovine…because bovine are really down and out about a phrase they can’t even understand being used for a sport they didn’t even know existed…right…
“Vegan Diamonds” are a Thing…
I guess I missed the memo but natural and lab grown diamonds are evidently not vegan? Sounds wild, right? Evidently some vegans say that if even the simple use of fossil fuels contributes
“Fine-jewelry brand Aether Diamonds is making the first and only vegan-certified, positive-impact, conflict-free diamonds on the market. Vegan Action, one of the leading vegan certification organizations in the world, granted the company its newest certification as its diamonds are made using sustainably sourced energy sourced without the need for mining, which leads to destroyed ecosystems and wildlife habitats, or fossil fuels typically used to make lab-grown diamonds,” VegNews reported.
Here's my suggested slogans for Aether Diamonds:Vegan Diamonds, the most pretentious, unnecessary, and overpriced hand ornament money can buy.
World Vegan Day was Celebrated…
Don’t get me wrong, I will always support a good, menial celebration. If even the smallest bit of good happens to me, I use it as an excuse to celebrate in some way. HOWEVER, World Vegan Day is just another made up holiday for people to post about on social media and speak out against animal ag.
Again, I say, it’s a little bit of a pot calling the kettle black moment here but let me explain how this is different. Sure, we have Beef Month and National Day of the Cowboy, but the majority of our industry organizations and individuals celebrating these “holidays” and posting about them online is for the betterment of our industry — not the demise of another.
World Vegan Day was a gold mine for anti-ag content, it’s all I say all day long. Photos of Jouquin Phoenix claiming ag was bad for the environment (just an fyi: animal ag contributes to about 3 percent of Green House Gas Emissions in the USA, according to the EPA); protestors setting up shop by the meat coolers at their local grocery stores and slapping “an animal died for your pleasure” stickers on cuts of meat; radicals sharing photos of themselves covered in fake blood on Halloween to “shed light on the victims of the dairy industry” because “dairy is scary.”
It’s more than just a little false. It’s 100 percent just another ploy to spread vegan propaganda. It’s all completely and totally bogus.
Anti-Ag Fills Hand Sanitizer Dispenser Outside Butcher Shop with Fake Blood…
More on this next week, but, you can get the general level of radical, hateful, and ridiculousness from the headline.
