They even have recipes he's thinking about to cook Toby with.

George Foreman named all his children George. Same thing right.

Besides, you know, that wouldn't be a personalized name. It's just as personal as the phrase "vegetable." When my brother proposed eating my hamsters, Audrey, Delilah, Avonlea, Celebrian and Eowyn, now that was disturbing. He was only kidding though.

Gotcha.

I once ate a cow named Bessie. It's what I got for staying on a farm.

It's just a personal thing. You don't eat things with names. It's just not kind. Monsters, Inc. "When you name it, you start getting attached to it!"

We don't name meat chickens, or beef cows, or pigs that will become pork, do we?

Well, why does he want to eat the rabbit? He's just being selfish and taking advantage of PETA.

This is another repetitive example of the stereotypes of muslims being terrorists and the christians being extremists.

lol. Slew is trying to convince us to take PETA seriously!

Excuse me for telling the truth

You shouldn't judge a whole organization based on the actions of a few members. If a member of the WWF (the wildlife one) blew up an SUV dealership, would you think that the WWF is a terrorist organization, even though it was the person's own idea to blow up the dealership?

(BTW that was a hypothetical question, as far as I know, no member of the WWF has blown up any car dealerships)

lol. Slew is trying to convince us to take PETA seriously!

Why do I have to be the only voice of reason on the other side of the debate in this section of the boards?

crazy peta idiots are going crazy!

So much for Mr. Gramatically Correct. The only PETA people I've seen getting upset about this are younger and more gullible than me, and they were on a message board. If you go to http://www.peta.org and put "toby rabbit" or "save toby" or just "toby" in the search box, guess what you'll find? Nothing on this toby website. The reason why PETA is not "going crazy" is because they know it's fake and was made to get a rise out of people. Much like the bonsai kittens website.

Yes, they do have better things to do, and that's why they're not going after this site.

God made rabbits tasty. I hope you aren't trying to say that god hates hasenfeffer.

No. I'm just saying that he's being ridiculous. Even though it's okay to eat rabbits if in your culture it's acceptable, you don't eat things that have been named. It's just not humane. Besides, he's not eating it because it's food, but because he wants to be mean.
