TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY POLICE PATROL PETA PROTEST AGAINST ALLEGED HALLMARK GREETING CARD CHIMPANZEE CRUELTY!!!
Kansas City Country Club Plaza denizens witnessed a curious culture clash as police and animal rights stood in opposition earlier today.
To wit . . .
PETA PROTEST AGAINST HALLMARK INSPIRED KANSAS CITY POLICE MOUNTED PATROL ON THE SCENE!!!
While the protest was interesting, it's unclear if three activists determined to make a point in the cold required the protection of four horses and a patrol car . . . To be fair, more police for the lunch crowd enduring typically horrible Kansas City customer service is never a bad thing.

Here's the statement From The People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals:
Wearing prison garb and a chimpanzee mask, a PETA member peers through a barred window on a giant Valentine's Day card outside a Kansas City Hallmark Cards store on Wednesday. PETA is calling on the Kansas City–based company to stop selling all cards featuring images of exploited chimpanzees, some of whom were provided by the Missouri Primate Foundation, aka "Chimparty," which has been cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for keeping chimpanzees without sufficient sanitation, ventilation, and enrichment, among other animal-welfare violations.
"It takes a cold heart to keep selling cards featuring photos of exploited baby chimpanzees, many of whom are now lonely adults confined to squalid prisons," says PETA primatologist Julia Gallucci. "PETA is calling on Hallmark Cards to toss these cards straight into the recycling bin."
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that "animals are not ours to use for entertainment"—has informed Hallmark Cards that the "grin" exhibited by chimpanzees on greeting cards is actually a "fear grimace" and that physical abuse during training is typical. Great apes used in these images are typically torn away from their mothers shortly after birth, causing lifelong psychological trauma to both mother and infant.

The protest attracted a small but energetic crowd along with more than a few onlookers and it's part of the group's ongoing mission to protect the rights of animals in Kansas City and across the world.
You decide . . .
I'm protesting HMK on general principal and over cruelty to my wallet!
ReplyDeleteC'mon peta, rent a real chimp suit and keep your protesters warm! Be kind to snowflakes when there are snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteI'd pay for a Hallmark card that dresses up PETA members in monkey suits.
ReplyDeleteJust stayed long enough to take the pics.
ReplyDeleteIt is cold
Where is everyone today?
ReplyDeleteLet's get the damn comments moving!
Can we put a petting zoo where Houston's used to be?
ReplyDeleteJust when you think the endless menagerie of KCMO "activists" couldn't get any more irrelevant or ridiculous, along comes this doofus.
ReplyDeleteHallmark's "alleged" treatment of chimpanzees as an issue?
Right at the top of everyone's list.
If it weren't so sad it would actually be funny.
PETA--People Eating Tasty Animals
ReplyDeleteAre you f...ing kiddin me? 2 people and a photographer. You call that a small crowd? I call that 3 losers that apparently dont have jobs.And ive seen more energy at an old folks home. The funniest part was a sign posted in the 2nd floor window above the 3 knuckleheads. It read "chimps on cards are awesome"
ReplyDeleteIn the mean time murder goes through the roof.
ReplyDeleteAnybody spank the monkey?
ReplyDeleteUm...aren't they being exploitive too with usage of their photo?
ReplyDeleteTOP PHOTO - PLAZA LOSING IT'S LUSTER?
ReplyDeleteWithout constant police presence, Plaza evolves into ape house!!!
(are you ok Mr. Mayor? the shooting has stopped now)
Have you ever wondered if a PETA member gets horney when cutting the grass? All that fresh cut grass under their feet just begging to be eaten. Maybe roll around in it while having monkey sex with the little woman. Do PETA members eat fish? it's an animal. Wouldn't that be like eating Nemo? Have they ever thought that maybe it pisses monkeys off when humans try to act like them making them look stupid while hiding behind a hunk of cardboard. Those PETA people do understand that a monkey will throw their feces at you while laughing. Guess PETA people can't even drink any milk. Man must suck to be a PETA member.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the girl they had dressed as a hot dog on a grill?
ReplyDeleteKeeping apes in jail is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteOr just gassing them.
Build a police station. That will solve everything.
ReplyDeleteis this connected with the BLM movement..since..well.. y'know.
ReplyDeletepretty sad to see PETA treating the mayor like that.
ReplyDeleteNext up?
ReplyDeleteThe guy lying on the ground in a body bag as "performance art".
You really can't make this stuff up!
KC: The arts capital of the world.
All this garbage is,is a way to blow time until the bad economic news begins.
ReplyDeletePETA is being infiltrated as we speak. They will soon be outvoted and their bilaws changed and will soon be known as Citizens Responsibley Against Protesters or CRAP for short.
ReplyDeleteCRAP will be out protesting the protesters and since the new idiology of CRAP will be self-destructive- CRAP will have to dissolve itself and go back to being a bunch of hippies and start selling beads at folk festivals.
Recap- PETA is going to be CRAP and then going hell in a hand basket.
That rodeo dude wearing the Obama mask year was nothing to the insult to chimp by PETA PANZYS wearing a chimp mask. Dumb fuck is trying to make people believe his IQ is way higher than it is.
ReplyDeleteHow much they pay?
ReplyDeleteBe nice to move past this bullshit so we can find out where in the hell the economy is going to go.
ReplyDeleteIf your in the media or a blogger things are likely south.
ReplyDeleteStupid fucks... only the so-called media, which has devolved into the daily Jerry Springer report, gives a shit what these retards are doing. That's a clue, Tony.
ReplyDelete6:22 If you have a job your personal economics look bleak if you live in KC. If you don't have a job things are looking yup. You could soon have a chance at $15.00 an hour paid by everyone who does have a job.
ReplyDeleteThere weren't many people there because they thought it was just another niglet who got dropped off by their parents to wreak havoc on the plaza.
