It\u2019s time for another installment of \u201cHas Everyone Gone Crazy?\u201d<\/p>\n

I just posted one recently, you say? That\u2019s as may be, but there is a staggering amount of insanity about these days. So, anyway:<\/p>\n

In Oregon, the People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions (PEACE) have proposed the so-called PEACE Act, otherwise known as Initiative Petition 28, which would make it illegal to kill an animal for any reason other than self-defense<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And to get people to sign off on the act, they are asking them if they \u201cwant to help save animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s like starting a petition to ban breathing by asking folks if they\u2019d like to help reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Initiative Petition 28 would make it a crime to kill any animal \u2014 and a felony sex <\/em>crime to artificially inseminate a cow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not kidding.<\/p>\n

It would also lead to hunger and higher food prices, as it would effectively ban sport and commercial fishing, hunting — and raising animals for meat, dairy, eggs, wool, etc.<\/p>\n

What, to \u201cPEACE,\u201d qualifies as an \u201canimal?\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently almost every living thing. Would Oregonians be allowed to swat a hornet? Kill a spider, mosquito, tick? Spray for termites?<\/p>\n

Can you say \u201cslippery slope?\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course this \u201cinitiative\u201d won\u2019t ever be enacted as law \u2026 or will it?<\/p>\n

But it does illustrate that the leftist whackos never stop pushing and prodding, never give up. What we thought was \u201cextreme\u201d or crazy just a few short years ago seems almost quaint. Seemingly every week something more outrageous, bizarre, and sinister pops up. Because the crazies are never fully reproached or stopped.<\/p>\n

This ticks me off. In fact, I can\u2019t bear it. But don\u2019t have a cow. (You won\u2019t be able to if insane and destructive proposals like this should ever be enacted into law.) We must channel our inner lion and push back against horse-bleep ideas like this. And keep<\/em> pushing. We aren\u2019t all batsh*t crazy yet.<\/p>\n

As someone once said, \u201cThere\u2019s a place in this world for all of God\u2019s creatures.\u201d That is certainly true. Right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy.<\/p>\n
