Schrammie: PETA's pomposity knows no bounds

Schrammie: PETA's pomposity knows no bounds

Tools

By Ken Schram

Okay, I admit it: I'm going for the low-hanging fruit.

This week's "Schrammie" was oh so obvious that there was just no way to ignore it.

So I'd like to invite whatever PETA person is available to get their head out of that KFC bucket and come on down.

Once again, PETA's been poking around and that has taken it from the asinine to the absurd.

This time the animal rights group is carping on a veterinary convention for arranging a fish throwing demonstration by folks from the Pike Place Fish Market.

PETA insists that while its cruel enough to eat fish, it's adding insult to injury by using them in what PETA calls "silly stunts."

In what has to be a holy mackerel moment, PETA says it would be more respectful if the demonstration consisted of rubber fish rather than dead real ones.

PETA's pomposity apparently knows no bounds, eroding what little credibility it has left.

And while I certainly get that the real issue here is PETA's ponderous proclivity for publicity, I'm only too happy to oblige by acknowledging that this radical, weird and totally bizarre organization should take a bow, because this "Schrammie" has PETA's name all over it.
