Default PETA calls for boycott on Maple Syrup

Stop tree torture!!!

Actually here is a blurb from their site

PETA will launch an international boycott of Canadian maple syrup on Tuesday to protest Canada's annual seal massacre. On the steps of the Vermont State House (Vermont is America's top producer of maple syrup), a PETA member will whack a 6-foot bottle of gooey "maple syrup" with a hakapik (the weapon that sealers use to kill baby seals), releasing the bottle's blood-red contents.

Misinformation is a tool of great worth to these meatballs. Err...tofuballs

I don't know where they get their maple syrup but where I get mine it doesn't look blood red.

Forget clubbing baby seals. Club PETA members instead!

Related from my favorite Socialist Terry Glavin

Save the seals, kill the elephants

If "animal rights" eccentricities and other cultural peculiarities are allowed to trump universal principles that are supposed to govern sustainable wildlife management, then there is no reason to expect African countries to save all the lovely elephants that Europeans find so precious.

I lost all respect for PETA when they compared the slaughtering of cows to the Jewish genocide.

For every bottle of maple syrup you don't use, I'll use 3.

Does anyone actually take PETA seriously anymore? Haven't they pretty much reduced themselves to the level of Westboro Church wacko Fred Phelps or the Nigerian e-mail scam? I'm going to go out on a limb and predict their boycott will actually boost maple syrup sales due to people rallying around the maple syrup industry in a counter protest to the PETA goofs.
