one of the funniest encounters i had with an 'animal rights/PETA' person was when the Olympic torch stopped off at the L A Coliseum before it went on to Utah.

there were people who had signs contesting the use of animals at the Olympics, apparently rodeo is/was being considered as a possible discipline.

when the gal came up to me and wanted to give me a pamphlet i explained to her that I LIKE THE RODEO..and what did the winter olympics have to do with animals??????

needless to say, when her male partner came around, with her in tow, i gave him the same line,
i then pointed to his lady friend and said, 'Ask her, I LIKE THE RODEO.'

my friend wasn't pleased about me taunting them but hey, aren't we all animals???
