Animal Rights Loonies

This past Friday, Mike and I went to get new comings and on the way back into town he noticed these nut jobs who were protesting outside a fur coat store.
Now, I'm very much on record as saying these people are nuts and so I figured it would be fun to watch these loonies for a few minutes so we got off and watched them from across the street.
A minute or so after we started watching, one of the employees can out with a camera to record these wackos and they started chanting "murderer! murderer!" and one of them cried "YOU'VE GOT BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!!"
So, after hearing this stupidity I turned to Mike and said, "Let's go inside the store!"
So, we walked across the street and walked into the store as they chanted "shame on you! shame on you!"
Inside I told the people there that I do not, in any way, agree with these nuts and had never seen such utter stupidity before. I've seen these kinds of nuts on TV but never in real life.
They thanked me for the show of support and we walked out. One of them yelled "OH! You really showed us" and tried to hand us some of their crap, I told them I didn't need any of their garbage because I know enough about what they are doing and who they are. I then noticed a sign with the PETA logo on it!

So, in my usual manner of speaking clearly, logically and bluntly, I got into a discussion with one of them who obviously couldn't handle a person who knows what is going on so all their friends tried to gang up on me. It was a laugh riot!
Here they are, in their little wigs and sunglasses, some had their faces covered with scarves and some wearing fake fur coats covered in "blood" and little old me, looking as awesome as ever.
So the exchange went back and forth, they claiming all places treat their animals like dirt, me pointing out the simple fact that while SOME may, they are only making themselves look bad by generalizing their 'points.' One of them came up in a really bad wig and sunglasses and demanded to know why I was arguing with them, I told 'her' no one was arguing, I was engaged in the exchange of ideas until she came up and tried to start an argument.
She tried to show me some lame video that was supposed to change my mind, blah, blah, blah...

Basically I proved my point with them. They cited PETA endorsed facts and had nothing of substance to offer outside claiming I'm "ignorant." I was the ignorant one, HA! This one chick asked me "do you have kids?" I said no so she went to her backup "do you have pets?" I said yeah, a cat. She said "would you skin your cat for it's fur?"
I said "no, there wouldn't be enough to make it worth it."
I then asked why she asked if I had a kid, she tried to dodge I kept on her and said "why did you ask if I had a kid? where you going to ask the same thing if I said yes?"
She admitted she was going to and I told her it was funny how she said I was the ignorant one.
So it became time for me to leave the circus of the stupid, I had to work, and they made the dumbest remark I'd heard from them...they actually compared the fur store to the Holocaust.
That stopped me dead in my tracks and I asked if I heard them right, the chick who said it said it was the exact same thing.
I told her that THAT was an ignorant thing to say. To compare the horrors of pure evil and hatred to what happens to some stupid animal it true ignorance.
I told them all if they actually got jobs and became useful members of society they wouldn't have so much time to think of such stupid things.

My opinions of them...they had no viable argument and could not defend their position without saying I was 'ignorant' or that I 'hate animals' proving my point that they are truly sad and stupid people.

They were from the defense of animals league or some such stupidity and I look forward to the next time I can highlight their total ignorance of the real world.

PETA, one of these days I will get to say what I want to say to one of your people.
