PETA asks town to change its name
By Associated Press, 4/22/2003 10:34

HAMBURG, N.Y. (AP) A national animal rights group has offered Hamburg officials $15,000 to change the town's name to Veggieburg.

''The town's name conjures up visions of unhealthy patties of ground-up dead cows,'' said Joe Haptas, spokesman of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), in a letter faxed Monday to Hamburg Supervisor Patrick Hoak.

PETA offered to supply area schools with $15,000 worth of non-meat patties for the name change.

''Our offer is serious as a heart attack,'' Haptas said.

Hoak immediately declined.

''With all due respect, I think it's a delicacy in our community,'' he said about hamburgers. ''We're proud of our name and proud of our heritage.''

The Buffalo suburb, named Hamburg since 1812, claims to be the birth place of the American culinary staple. Hamburg commemorates the birth of hamburgers at the annual Burgerfest.

In 1996, PETA proposed that the Hudson Valley town of Fishkill change its centuries-old name to Fishsave, since the group believed the name conjured up violent imagery of dead fish.

The town was named by Dutch settlers in the early 1600s. ''Kill'' is the Dutch word for ''stream.''


They are not even giving the town real money. Just a bunch of tofu burgers. Morons.

that you keep talking about.

they'll do anything for their cause. the more ridiculous, the better. no press is bad press. blah blah blah.

their hearts are in the right place, but sometimes the execution is just silly.

Their hearts go far, far beyond the right place. Wanting to help animals is all well and good. Wanting to help animals at the expense of humans is PETA.

There's a difference between preventing animal cruelty and promoting animal equality.

These people are a bunch of zealots! They do these acts with blinders and could care less if innocent humans are harmed. They proved that when they fired bombed a McDonalds and one innocent person was killed.

Theres noting wrong with doing what you belive in but these people take it to an extreme.

This is why groups like PETA and the ALF are bad... because many of their followers are actually mentally insane. I think animal cruelty is shitty and would never buy fur or anything, but some activists get so worked up that they'll bomb a McDonald's or do what they did to this poor bastard (who is an activist).

PETA just preys on the easily influenced youth who are looking for some purpose and meaning in their lives, along with the excitement of being "shocking" and "controversial". But, like most kids, they're often too stupid to distinguish right from wrong and end up taking things too far in the name of their empty cause.

PETA's antics hurt their cause much more than helping it simply because of their extreme nature. People are too busy laughing at the nude protestors to bother thinking about whether or not they should buy fur.

To sum it up:

"Your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word you're saying..." -Graffin
