Al Jazeera: Beheading Infidels, Yes; PETA Ads, No

******Massive Irony Alert*****Please Switch Brain Irony Filter On To Prevent Overload******

Seriously, you can't make this shit up. Al Jazeera will show clips of infidels getting beheaded by 'resistance forces' but won't run ads from PETA calling into question the handling of sheep imported from Australia because those images are just too cruel.

WND:

Al-Jazeera, the Qatar-based Arab television network famous for airing images of beheadings and mutilated bodies, rejected a 30-second commercial from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals showing abuse of Australian sheep.

The sheep, raised for wool, are later shipped alive to the Middle East for slaughter. The footage shows lambs partially skinned alive during a procedure called "mulesing." Sheep are repeatedly kicked as they are loaded onto what PETA calls "death ships." Other sheep are are shown being dragged and kicked in the head as their throats are slit while other sheep watch.

Now I hope you'll excuse me as I go break several federal laws. Cause if this isn't a case where medical marijuana is the cure for what ills me, I don't know what is! Hat tip: M.H. King

2 The irony still stands but a note of interest. Mulesing is totally necessary or the sheep would die of infections from bugs burrowing into their rears. (Gotta love Australia seems like everything is poisonous/deadly on that continent) As usual PETA leaves that info out in their campaign. Apparently millions were already being spent by the Australian government to come up with an alternative but PETA doesnÂ’t talk about that either.

3 What's even more ironic is that the way a sheep is killed to make it halal IS barbaric. They let it bleed to death after it's throat has been slit.
