Yesterday while I was in town, I saw the coolest bumper sticker. On the back of a big work truck, box of the truck was full of tools and construction stuff. The guy driving reminded me of my hubby--kinda scruffy looking, plaid work jacket on, looked like he'd had a long day of hard physical work and a husky on the seat beside him. His bumper sticker said "Real Men are Kind to Animals"....I so want one for Stuart's car!

Ohhh! I like! I want to put one on Andy's car. :D

But don't want to support Peta. Can anyone here with a CafeExpress account whip one up? ;) :D

Me neither! I'd buy a bunch if someone with CafePress is interested in making them!

Is there a copyright on the saying? If not, I can check with Claire at acmepettransport and see if she can make one for the acme store who deals with cafe press.

PETA has a cafepress store. Not sure how that effects things.

Cute :) Can't you just cut off the part that says PETA or whatever?

People are funny. PETA isn't worthy of credit even for a great idea. :rolleyes:

Liz, I don't think it's a matter of not giving them credit for a good idea, I think it's a matter of not wanting to support an extremist group like PETA. I know I don't want to support them. They give viable rescue and animal lovers a bad name with the stupid stunts they pull. I do think that some of their ideas are good, it's they way they present them that I object to, and therefore, I won't support them.

PETA actively harasses people like me--who do any kind of activity with their animals. The last thing I need is to end up on one of their mailing lists.

PETA isn't worthy of credit even for a great idea. :rolleyes:PETA members let an entire sled dog team loose in downtown Anchorage because they said that the dogs were better off dead than in "slavery". These poor, frightened dogs were running through traffic scared out of their minds. Thankfully, PETA did not get their wish. The dogs were rounded up before they could be killed by passing cars.

Heard on the news today that PETA also said a little Polar bear cub being raised by hand (it's mom rejected it) in Germany would be better off dead than being raised by humans. The news story called it a "right to life" issue, on behalf of the bear. The film clip of him was adorable - can't imagine that being dead is in any way, shape, or form, a better alternative.

As far as the bumper sticker, I would think that if the art is different, that would suffice. I don't think they can "copyright" just a statement like that.

Cafe Press is SO easy - you just create an account, and they GIVE you the exact specs for the graphics. Then you use your own graphics program, fonts, etc., to create your sticker. It's a bit labyrinthine at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to punch up the green or make one line of text bigger by revising your graphic and reuploading the new one. I used it to make the sticker in my signature. Just click on it to get to the Cafe Press site, then click where it says Start Selling Now up at the top.

Love, Columbine

I would gladly make a bumper sticker for anyone that would like me to. I could also include photos of your own animal/s.

I did a search for that saying and mainly PETA websites came up. Maybe we can change it around a bit?

REAL MEN are affectionate to animals?
REAL MEN are nice to animals?
REAL MEN are gracious to animals?

Oh, I was going to say "Real Men Respect Animals," and now Columbine beat me to it!

Yesterday I saw this bumper sticker:
