PETA Gets a Lesson in Reality

 

By Elton Camp

 

In one place, it was with very good reason

That on hunting bears it was open season

 

But when PETA learned of this evil town,

With bleeding hearts they then came around

 

“We don’t care how many humans they kill

They are sentient beings and give us a thrill.”

 

“Bear life is just as important as any other

And to all animals, we are a loving brother.”

 

A PETA member went to set out some food

A bear spotted him and began to behave crude

 

As, in terror, the animal lover began to flee,

The bear thought, “He looks delicious to me.” 

 

And while the fanatic the bear savagely ate,

He wished he’d kept his priorities straight
