Just smile at them. They don't like it.

Have they ever tried actually showing up at a convention? I’m thinking the cops would shut them down quick….at least in the states I’ve been to.

I remember PETA was protesting near the front gate at the NTA in Duluth in the early 80's when it was there. It almost went sideways.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag ya down to their level and beat ya with experience.

My wife, son, and I went to that one while on vacation that year. I remember the anti's carrying signs.

I told him I could be at his house and put the address. I could see when he was reading based on the app and sent a message to his phone at that very instance. Next thing I know that account no longer exists. Ain’t had another negative comment since then from anyone. Some folks sole purpose on some of these apps is to sow hate and discord. This ole boy thought he was hidden, he didn’t realize I have friends WAY smarter and higher up the food chain than I ever could be!!

Need a like button for this. I know of an anti or two who's name and address I'd like to get a hold of.

So the same gal I wrote about with the Professor had a grocery go-getter taped full of animal rights stuff, protests she had been at etc. A couple weeks later she was one her way into class and hit a doe, broke its front legs. A State Patrol pulled up to the accident, and a couple college students stopped to check on her since they knew the car. She was down in the ditch trying to help it, calm it down, etc. She was sobbing and all the works. The S.P. officer goes down in the ditch and tells her to move away, she asks why? He says I have to dispatch it. She jumps up screaming at him and assaults him. He throws her to the ground, cuffs her, and proceeded, to pull out his gun and shoot the deer. LOL, She got charged with assaulting an officer.

If you can't have fun when engaging with whackos you probably should refrain.

When I engage with animal rights people, I do so knowing ahead of time that I will not change their minds and they wont change mine. With that in mind, my words are chosen carefully to show my level headed and reasonable assertion of what is right and correct and timeless - at the core of that is an entire human history of peoples’ interactions with animals that provide us with resources, companionship, and more. When they start being rude and hurling insults, I just smile and continue to be level headed because I have won in the eyes of the sane and rational majority of people. And that was my goal along. I knew from the start that we would not agree or change each other, my goal was always to show the reasonable people that the animal rights crew are irrational and on the wrong side of what it means to be human throughout history.
