Man sets himself on fire for his furry friends.

The lengths some animal rights activists will go to in order to further, The Cause, is a hot topic around here. It's an especially hot topic in Portland, where a former Kansas resident doused himself in gasoline, lit himself on fire, and tried unsuccessfully to enter a fur store. Because nothing says commitment like turning yourself into a human fire ball. The man who set himself ablaze was mentally unbalanced, and a perfect target for extremist animal rights activists. Yes I said target. Already the whack jobs are coming out of the woodwork to praise the now dead guy as some kind of modern day Martyr. News reports say that animal rights groups have protested outside Ungar Furs for some time now . In 2007 Shumacher Fur was forced out of business by the same group, or some like minded clowns. Shumacher has a website documenting the ongoing shenanigans of a group of Vegan Hipster Militant Douche Bags, or as I like to refer to them, Adults still living off Mom and Dads money. Click here for the website . In the side bar are links to videos showing greasy hipsters in the nude, and generally acting like 12 year olds. It's a real hoot, I highly recommend it.


While a normal person might take issue with raising animals just for fur, those same normal people would no doubt be appalled by naked hippy types running around on city streets to protest. Keep in mind these are not PETA type naked people, you won't find an Alicia Silverstone or even a Pam Anderson in the videos linked above. These are 20 something women with 60 something fun bags. It's not a pretty sight, but I promise you won't be able to look away. All snarkiness and tit jokes aside, the incident in Portland gives proof to the danger of groups like the Animal Liberation Front, and our own home grown shit heel, Jason Miller. These self proclaimed Vegan Anarchists aren't crazy, they might free some rabbits, or pour cows blood on their heads, but you won't catch one of them imitating a bonfire in skinny jeans. What they do, and where they are truly dangerous is in their rhetoric. They encourage unstable people to do irrational shit. So you get what we got in Portland. A mentally unbalanced guy, committing a clearly insane and irrational act. While Animal Anarchist douche bags cream their skinny jeans and hemp undies over a human fireball, a family in Kansas is left to bury the charred remains on their unstable son.


Let me just state for the record, Fur Farms should be a thing of the past. Raising an animal for just the fur is cruel. A cow on the one hand is going to be eaten anyway, so you might as well use the leather, they make dandy coats and shoes. Raising a mink or a fox on the other hand just so some doofus can run around looking like a good robbery target in his or her ridiculous coat, is in my opinion more than a little fucked up. That said, I'm not going to douse myself in flammable petro products, or run naked through the streets of Kansas City. Lucky you. If it's legal, then anyone should be able to freely wear whatever they choose, without worrying that some patchouli wearer is going to get all up in their koolaid.
