POL(?) - Fish proclaims "Give me liberty or give me death!"
How about both?
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...366233,00.html Animal activists free 15,000 farmed fish to their deaths By Valerie Elliott, Countryside Editor POLICE have warned fish farmers to increase their security after 15,000 halibut were released from their cages in an attack believed to have been carried out by animal rights activists. Thousands of dead fish are being washed up along the west coast of Scotland after the raid at Kames Marine Fish Farm, near Oban. The perpetrators are thought to have attacked last week. Detectives believe that the attack could be linked to a spate of other farm attacks throughout the country. The letters ALF (Animal Liberation Front) were spray-painted near by. The loss is estimated to have cost the fish farm at least £500,000 as boats, cranes and offices were also vandalised. The halibut died from starvation or getting caught in seaweed. They were also being eaten by herring gulls and otters. The fish farmer, who did not wish to be identified, said: “They claim they liberated them into the sea but sadly, as we all know, farmed animals, whether they are fish or any animals, don’t survive unless they are looked after. The fish farmer added: “We farm them in a sustainable way. The welfare of the fish is at the forefront of our minds. Isn’t it better to have farmed fish than to be pillaging the seas where stocks are declining dramatically?” Fish farms in Scotland, Kent and the South West have been attacked in the past year. |

Just to piss off those idiots is a good enough reason to eat meat.

I'm starting to think that eating only veggies makes you crazy.

They're not animal rights activists, they're animal rights terrorists.

Maybe to the animals, they would be animal freedom fighters. Probably not these fish, though. They probably think of the humans that freed them as motherfuckers. |
