Childrens toy company MATTEL under fire from PETA for harming crickets IN A DAMN TOY CAR!!!
As if we didn't have enough issues in the world, PETA has accused Mattel of harming crickets for their new cricket powered toy car. The first link is about the car, the second is about PETA'S accusations.

I guess the bleeding hearts at PETA really don't like INHUMANE treatment of INSECTS.

Personally I think the concept behind the toy is awesome. As far as the crickets, it's okay to feed them to lizards and snakes, where they die by suffocation. Those cars are sooooo cruelllll! (Sarcasm for effect)

Not to get sidetracked but I spent 2006-2007 in South Korea where dog is consumed, aka kul-gogi. Not bad till I found iut what it was and remembered every canine I'd ever been around.

What?
The crickets get to drive the little car, which is fun.
These are some lucky crickets, they're the envy of the cricket world.

Having a sick whip gets them some girlie cricket action.
The unfortunate "safe" crickets get eaten by pet snakes and whatnot.

Petas are so dense.

ROTFLMAO!

I should start selling crickets injected with lumiscent dye.

All the girlie crickets will be chriping wet once they see them driving that sick whip, then stepping out glowing with badassery. Yeah.......

Re: Childrens toy company MATTEL under fire from PETA for harming crickets IN A DAMN TOY CAR!!!
The first thing you need to know is that PETA doesn't give a damn about crickets.

What they care about is publicity. So they will latch onto any story they can to do that. The more ridiculous the story, the more likely they will get publicity.

The publicity results in donations because there is a segment of society that will fall for anything.
Yes, I did cure my Stage 4 cancer in two weeks when I was 48. I also reversed my chronic kidney disease (glomerulonephritis) when I was 25. In neither case were any medical treatments involved.

I used to have a pet hamster which frequently got shot out of a paper towel tube. The hamster-cannon. Always a safe landing on the couch though, safety first!

PETA's horseshit aside, it seems like the general consensus is that a cricket's life is pretty meaningless...point taken. Mockery of a living things miserable existance, super tough guys. Thumbs up. You win retarded assholes for today!

1.) Fuck PETA
2.) It is frankly a dumb toy
3.) Everything kills but only scum makes suffer, either let something eat the cricket or let it go about it's sad little business, but don't jam it into a plastic box so it can bang its head off the walls for three hours while the fucking car ricochets about
4.) Fuck 'em both pretty much
