Reflections From a Murky Pond

Well, that’s not something you see every day, or even every holiday season – the rare Christmas Frog.

Rana Tannenbaumensis – The Christmas Frog

The Christmas Frog (Rana tannenbaumensis) is rare these days due to religious and ideological destruction but can still be found in North America and Western Europe and was once part of Christmas celebrations.

O Christmas Frog, O Christmas Frog,
Your bellies glow delight us!
They’re warm when summer days are bright,
They’re warm when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Frog, O Christmas Frog,
Your bellies glow delight us!

OK, OK – It’s a tree frog that has swallowed a Christmas light, mistaking it for a firefly.

Of course, if this pic goes viral, how long do you think it’ll be before PETA winds themselves up and starts protesting outdoor Christmas lights because of the potential for frog’s swallowing them? They’ll probably start a “Swamp Puppies” pseudo-education campaign reminiscent of their Sea Kittens propaganda.

So to preemptively strike and forestall any attempt by PETA to move in that direction, I present you with a sampling of the Swap Puppy:

NOTE: For those who might be interested, the frog in the image is a Cuban Tree Frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) and the photo was taken in August, 2009 by James Snyder in his backyard in southern Florida.

After the photo Mr. Snyder pulled the light out of the frog’s mouth and he was fine, having suffered no ill effects from ingesting the light-bulb.

PETA is at it again and this time their “campaign” doesn’t possess the cuteness and humor of their ridiculous “Sea Kitten“ marketing efforts. Nor is it yet another rendition of their perennial use of naked or nearly naked women and girls to shock and scandalize the public while playing on the prurient nature of Western culture.

This time PETA – or at least their cells in New York – has chosen to directly target young children in an effort to traumatize them and hopefully cause a psychological aversion reaction in them regarding McDonald’s.

PETA Targets Young Children For Trauma and Abuse

Despite understandable and proper outrage from American parents, the psychological terrorists and child abusers of PETA claim that children are jaded enough by television and video games to handle the “carnographic” images, and have sworn to continue their sick campaign.

From CBS 6 (WRGB), Albany, NY:

Activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) will hand out “Unhappy Meals” to children at an Albany McDonald’s restaurant today to protest alleged chicken abuse, according to a statement this morning by PETA.

PETA alleges that McDonald’s allows its chicken suppliers to abuse the animals before they are slaughtered for food. The organization advocates “controlled-atmosphere killing,” a method that promotes animal welfare.

Children who buy meals at the McDonald’s at 391 Central Ave. today beginning at noon will encounter PETA staff, headed by an activist in a chicken costume.

The “Unhappy Meal” that PETA will give to children – a spoof of a Happy Meal – will include a “menacing, knife-wielding” Ronald McDonald cutout, a ketchup packet disguised as chicken blood, a plastic chicken covered in “blood” and a “McCruelty” t-shirt.

The statement indicates that PETA will target children so they will “join its campaign” to convince McDonald’s to change slaughter methods.

This time depraved vermin of PETA has gone to far. They seek to traumatize as many children as possible in order to further their agenda by scarring the minds of the children of Americans.

PETA accosts children with THIS in some McDonald’s parking lots

In America we defend children from abuse and we punish the depraved vermin who seek to harm them and scar their minds. That’s something that PETA seems to have forgotten – if, being unaccustomed to such things in their own culture, they ever knew it in the first place.

I’m originally from the South. Down there we take these matters seriously and we don’t worry overmuch about what the law will say about the retribution we mete out to filth like these.

The problem now faced by American parents is that these abusers who are targeting American children are protected by the law. PETA is allowed by the current laws of the land to conduct these psychological terror attacks on American children. Parents seeking to defend their children against these depraved individuals have no legal recourse with which to do so.

Those who choose to abuse our children have turned away not just from America, but from Humanity as well. They are nothing but rabid vermin and must be recognized as such.

In this case our laws, over the years having been suborned from their proper intent, have failed America’s children. When the law has failed our children, the children of an America already in dire peril, what recourse is left to any of us to protect and defend our children from abusers like PETA? What means are left to us and how much courage and self-sacrifice does it take to use them?

PETA, in their bottomless stupidity, ignorance – yes, they manage to be both somehow – and arrogance wants to re-educate America’s children. In an effort to twist the minds of America’s youths PETA wants to indoctrinate them into calling fish “Sea Kittens.” But, if the Liberals actually allow PETA’s agenda into the schools and classrooms of America, what will they teach our children? What exactly is a Sea Kitten?

Felis Marinus

Common Names(s):Sea Kitten, Oceanic Split Tail, Yummy Things

Felis Marinus is a family of sea creatures that encompasses a variety of individual genera and species. There is a great deal of variance in the physiognomy, not only between species but also between individual specimens of the same species.

In an effort to further our children’s “education” I’ve provided sample images of some of the more well established branches of the Sea Kitten family. Biology is part of America’s core curriculum after all.

Not exactly NSFW, but I put the lesson in biology, taxonomy, and species identification after the break just in case.
