Meet Snow and her adoptive mother, Kelly, a self-proclaimed liberator of animals, organizer for Direct Action Everywhere, feminist, and sentisapiosexual, with an emphasis on sex-positivity. Did you get that? If not, perhaps her online dating profile posted on Facebook will offer more in-depth insight to this complicated pseudo intellectual.Basically, Kelly loves her chicken and spends most of her awake and lucid hours plotting on how to best shame meat eaters. She's on a mission, for love, justice and wisdom which recently led her to the San Francisco dining establishment, Bluestem Brasserie.
In a staged, brief rant, a tearful Kelly rather loudly tells the story of "her little, abused girl," Snow the chicken. Evidently, Snow was an enslaved chicken, one that lives in captivity to produce eggs for human consumption. Kelly's message is clear - humans do not have the right to eat the eggs, drink the milk, or consume the bodies of animals. At the end of her performance, other members of Direct Action Everywhere join her in solidarity raising signs and shouting the mantra "It's not food; it's violence."
During this show of tortured emotion, restaurant patrons smile and snicker at the absurdity of a young woman distraught over the plight of chickens. Since Direct Action Everywhere posted the video, Kelly has been thoroughly mocked on Facebook, Twitter, and conservative blogs. However, this is just the attention people like Kelly and members of Direct Action Everywhere seek.
Kelly claims her activism was born on the quest to find the ultimate love, justice, and wisdom, but this kind of identity politics is nothing more than a nuisance to business owners and patrons who find themselves caught in the crosshairs. This is akin to the trend in Progressivism to spark outrage in everything in an ongoing attempt to foster hate - not love - entitlement - not justice, and ignorance - not wisdom.
The oddest aspect to Kelly's argument in defense of Snow is that people do not have the right to eat chicken eggs. To follow the logic, if a chicken is an equal being to humans, only it has the right to say what can and cannot be done to its eggs. This sounds strangely similar to the pro-choice argument feminists love to champion. While no one can definitively claim that all feminists are pro-abortion, pro-choice is one of their hallmarks. So, when a woman portrays herself as a staunch feminist, a progressive one at that, certain assumptions can be made.
Kelly believes a chicken should live in freedom and not have to sacrifice its eggs. She also believes that animals should not be slaughtered for human food consumption. However, ironically, a pro-choice feminist is okay with the destruction of human eggs and will not fight for the rights of an unborn fetus. If asked what came first, Snow or the egg, I wonder how Kelly would respond?
I thing there is something in the genes that makes people this way. Can you stuff snow?
ReplyDeleteNo - Snow is too scrawny for stuffing and she has a bum leg which would make for a poor presentation.
