Earthday: An Inconvenient Pain in My Butt

Earth Day and Global Warming are two topics I completely ignore, but since Al Gore and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are involved, I feel obligated to comment! Warning: Liberals and Americans pathetic enough to believe this Global Warming hoax should stop reading immediately and go recycle this paper!Al Gore is a washed-up politician who found an environmental issue he could exploit and get rich off of. Mr. Gore is so concerned about the environment; he continues to fly around in his jumbo-jet to warn the world. PETA is a crazy liberal organization that’s more concerned with the rights of animals than the rights of humans. Aborting a living child from the womb is acceptable, but God forbid we raise and kill animals for the purpose of food.In time for Earth Day, PETA has launched a new campaign declaring Gore is too chicken to go Vegetarian. Though they acknowledge Gore’s efforts, he’s a hypocrite because he continues to eat meat. How dare you Mr. Gore! PETA refers to a United Nations study, finding that the meat industry creates 40% more green-house gas than all the cars, trucks, SUVs, ships, and planes in the word combined. The campaign asks that we all “go vegan for 30 days, preventing the equivalent of more than 270 pounds of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the Earth's atmosphere”. By eating vegan for thirty days, they hope you will ultimately switch to a vegan diet and liberate the innocent animals from their cruel destiny. As a God-fearing Christian, I understand that God intended animals to be used as a source of nutrients and fulfill our basic human needs. Meat is a source of vitamins and other necessary nutrients, which are not readily available in fruits and vegetables. Since you’re probably thinking that I am for polluting our environment and brutally murdering animals, let me clarify. As residents of this great planet Earth, we must all be responsible in cleaning and protecting the planet. However, the earth goes through a natural cycle of heating and cooling (remember that thing called the Ice Age?) and we must not be fooled into believing that this is the end of the world. Let’s take action by recycling, car pooling, and walking. Simple things can make a huge difference. I would like to take this opportunity to launch my own Earth Day campaign. I ask that all barbaric carnivores eat double the normal amount of meat products for 30 days, but leave the car at home and walk to class. We’re helping the farmers, the economy, and Mother Nature all at one time. Happy Earth Day, go enjoy some red meat, and have a great rest of the semester!!
