PETA Stops SC Monks From Selling Eggs

Quote:

Monks at a Lowcountry monastery are looking for a new source of income. Mepkin Abbey, a Trappist monastery on the Cooper River, announced Thursday it will cease its egg production business following pressure from an animal rights group. The phaseout of the industry, which has sustained the brothers for more than 40 years, comes after attacks by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Earlier this year, and again this week, PETA charged that the birds at Mepkin Abbey were caged in cramped quarters and suffered inhumane practices. PETA urged shoppers to boycott Mepkin Abbey eggs, which are sold at Piggly Wiggly and other grocery stores. Abbot Stan Gumula has disputed PETA’s claims, but said the continuing dispute detracts from their life of prayer, work and contemplation.

I'm sure the peta types are proud they denied the monks of a income source as well as a food source for others.

If they don't have the guts to stand up against PETA, they don't deserve to be in business. Does anyone think that PETA would be OK with it if they were raising free range chickens? I don't think so.

I actually support PETA. People Eating Tasty Animals, that is:-D

I'm going to call unfair and hateful in your attack of monks that try only to do good, and to live a peaceful life. Not everyone is a combative, some by religious conviction and your attack is uncalled for.

Call it what you will. If they can be bullied that easily by PETA, so much for conviction.

Perhaps lettuce farming would be a better choice.

I'll just let your own words speak for you, and clarify the type of person you are, there is not much I can say after you paint your hatred of peaceful men, whose only goal is to help their fellow man.

Huh? Where do you get hate from what I said? You must be projecting because you're the one who spews the hate around here. I simply noted the fact that they are showing a lack of conviction and are easily bullied. Clearly, that is the case.

Just because I disagree with their actions and positions doesn't mean I hate them. I'll leave the hate to you.
