    Those flippin' Madagascar cockroaches are huge, I saw them on Fear Factor. I don't think it's anymore cruel to eat those than snowcrab legs. Why is PETA freaking out about cockroaches?

    Any time somebody pulls a publicity stunt involving a living creature, the response from PETA (People Erroneously Thinking Anthropomorphically) can be measured in milliseconds.
    Remember kids, don't try this at home. Try it at someone else's home.

    Why didn't PETA file a complaint about contestants on Fear Factor eating cockroaches and other live bugs?
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    I believe they did.
    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    You have clearly not spent much time around cattle in a professional capacity . Granted, most of them are little more than warm blooded grass (they just kinda stand there and grow). But there is the occasional bovine that has no intention of being rounded up . These wily critters are a perpetual thorn in the side of whatever unsuspecting cowboy has been given charge of apprehending said creature. Some even seem to be trying to say something besides " ; I'm delicious."
