You Can Tell Everybody, This is Your Blog

Kansas Jesse is in town, which means I've regressed to age 16 again. Yesterday, we were sitting around her parent's dining room table talking after dinner. We got on the subject of Haunted Everything in Gadsden, and someone brought up Hinds Road.

Now, if you live in Gadsden, you know that Hinds Road is REAL BAD HAUNTED. There's a witch and everything. There's devil worshippers! There's a cult that kills babies! There is a lake of blood!

~WhoooooOOoooOooOooo~ (fyi - that's my scary ghost noise)

Jesse's aunt said that there was some man that lived on Hinds Road that kept stuffed animals in cages. Jesse wondered aloud who would free the animals. We decided we'd start our own group, called PETSA. People for the Ethical Treatment of Stuffed Animals.

We spent a lot of time discussing what kind of bracelets we'd get. Jesse has big ideas, she wants fur covered bracelets. We're still discussing that topic. I personally think it's not cost effective. We did decided that PETSA does not offer protection for puppets, nor do they protect dolls. In fact, our first PETSA t-shirt is going to read "DOLLS CAN SUCK IT."

If dolls & puppets want help, they can call upon the Father of Darkness like they've been doing ever since the beginning of time. If it's creepy, it can fend for itself. That's my motto.

I thought that all of this was a joke, until today.

Until I walked into a restaurant and saw THIS:


Look at those poor creatures! How can you even defend this sort of behavior? Look at their condition. They're cramped in there together, with no room to run or play. They have no food that I can see, and where is the water?? They are starving these animals! And worse, it appears as if they are only removed by using a sharp claw-like extractor. Ouch!

People, these are innocent animals that have been ripped from their homes and placed in nothing more than a prison cell! They are made to watch us enjoy our food while they slowly die from starvation. How could anyone eat when such a thing is happening right under our noses? Have we become so insensitive that we've made "catching" these poor animals a game??

The horror of the situation is shown clearly on the face of this unfortunate creature:

The horror! I can barely type through the tears. How someone could leave that sweet little stuffed frog there alone & starving, I'll never know. I am currently planning a liberation movement to release these stuffed animals into the wild and find them homes.

Who's with me?
