I can’t believe I missed EATAPETA Day!

It was March 15th. EATAPETA Day is, of course, “Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day:” it’s when you go out and consume animal flesh solely because doing so infuriates the anti-human lunatics at that anti-human lunatic asylum*.

Oh, well, I undoubtedly consumed animal flesh that day anyway. Also:

*Vegetarians and vegans who likewise despise PETA – and a lot of them do – are traditionally allowed to substitute something with BBQ sauce and eat that.  The symbolism is the important thing.

#rsrh Crud. I missed EATAPETA Day.

Stands for Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA Day – it’s a holiday where you go out and deliberately eat meat out of spite. Somewhat childish and not very productive; but still less childish and more productive than PETA is. Plus, you get to eat meat*.

Anyway, it was yesterday, so I missed it. Fortunately, I lucked out and had fried chicken for lunch; that meal choice particularly infuriates PETA, so it’s all good.

*Vegetarians and vegans who despise PETA (I’ve met quite a few, actually) are permitted to use anything slavered in BBQ sauce as a substitute, provided that they are deliberately eating it in rejection of the group.

Reminder: March 15th is International Eat a Tasty Animal for PETA Day.

Mark your calendars, and start haunting the meat aisle.

EATAPETA is a traditional holiday started by Meryl Yourish, and much beloved by those who get annoyed by the group (quite bipartisan, by the way: I’ve seen vegans go off on PETA).  The Anchoress recommends that you go with seafood for this year’s festivities, what with the entire “sea kitten” thing: Musing Minds is taking recipes.  But that might be because of the Lent thing.

As always, remember: if you happen to be someone who does not eat meat – and there are a variety of valid reasons why people personally choose not to do so – but you despise PETA anyway, just throw BBQ sauce on whatever it is that you’re eating in order to symbolically reject the group.
