RUSH: There\u2019s a video that has gone viral on YouTube. Not that long ago I would have had more fun with this. We would have created our own parody version of it, our own bit of satire. We would have created our own organizations, fake organizations to represent this point of view. But the fact that this video has gone viral and the fact that the vast majority of people that get their television via their phones or their tablets or their computers or what have you, as opposed to the actual TV set, that\u2019s a number that\u2019s rising and it\u2019s young people. It\u2019s part of the ever-changing landscape of the great population of the country. <\/p>\n

So what happened is this. At an upscale restaurant in San Francisco, an animal rights person walked in, Kelly Atlas, of Direct Action Everywhere, entered the Bluestem Brasserie and spoke from her heart. She didn\u2019t throw things. She didn\u2019t threaten anybody. She didn\u2019t bring a bunch of ragtag protesters. She walked in, and, in the middle of everyone having dinner, began to speak out on the plight of her pet chicken named Snow. <\/p>\n

She begged these people to eat anything other than her pet chicken and other people\u2019s pet cows. Don\u2019t eat meat. She asked the diners at the San Francisco restaurant to join her in equal rights for all animals, not just cats and dogs and other non-food species. She said, “We\u00c2\u2019re so enraged when we hear someone hurting a dog or a cat, but because of this ‘speciesism\u2019 in our minds, we don\u00c2\u2019t think twice about a chicken being hurt or a pig or a cow.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Her chicken, Snow, her pet chicken was rescued from an egg ranch, she said. When the chicken\u2019s egg production peaked and was on the wane, the chicken was of no value to the egg ranch so they were going to kill the chicken. “I see the suffering that she faced, and I\u00c2\u2019m so happy that I took her out of there and I want the same for every animal.”<\/p>\n

Now, Snerdley is in there laughing and yucking it up, and probably most everybody else is. But I guarantee you that this video, upwards of 600,000 people have seen it, and now because I\u2019ve mentioned this, it\u2019s going to skyrocket. You wait. There are going to be all kinds of sympathetic followers and young people who agree and if I did do a parody or satire of it and if these same people ever came across that, they would think I\u2019m a heartless, mean-spirited, extremist mean guy. <\/p>\n
