Foie Gras Protesters Give Me Yet Another Excuse To Run A Puppy Photo

Yes, it’s once again time for another foie gras protest. From an “Alert Philadelphia” email (really):

Today, Friday, August 17th, approximately 7-10 members of the Hugs for Puppies group will protest from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Tinto Restaurant located at 120 S. 20th Street and then at 7:15 PM the group will protest Amada Restaurant at 217 Chestnut Street for selling Foie Gras. [Should that be capitalized? Get Angry Grammarian to check.—dmac]

The Philadelphia Police Department’s Civil Affairs Unit has assigned personnel to this event. The Commanding Officers of the Central Police Division, the Sixth and Center City Districts have been notified of this activity.

Let’s just hope rival foie gras protesters Pennsylvania Advocates for the Animals don’t show up, or there could be a rumble. Like West Side Story or the “Beat It” video.

    Sounds like hugs for puppies support a higher murder rate for Philadeplhia since they keep distracting the police. Somebody needs to go protest the protesters!

    Friggin jack-offs - me and me buds were planning an anti-Yuppie protest at Tinto at the exact same time.

    We we’re going to all get dressed up in black skinny jeans and ride around on our fixed-gears blasting Wolfmother with our butt cracks hanging out.

    Friggin foie gras bitches gonna steal our thunda!

    If police want to ignore murderers so they can monitor a group of nonviolent activists, that’s their perogative. Personally, I doubt foie gras protests have any effect on the crime rate.

    Studies have shown that foie gras protests have a negative psychological effect on the city, which results in higher rates of violent crime.

    I think the war in Iraq is also contributing.

    oh, hugs for puppies is also a terrorist organization, so they’re violent criminals and should be monitored.

    No, foie gras shouldn’t be capitalized. I’m sure the protesters would protest that too. But they’re so very wrong.

    Where were the darn cops when the puppy people were protesting the London Grill for five consecontive fridays. And we still had crime in our neighborhood.

    If he’s such a bad person, why would he start an organization called “hugs for puppies”? That’s such a wonderful missing to have.

    Nick Cooney is a douchebag extraordinaire, a white-bread pussy poseur pseudo-radical tool. I DARE him to go break up a dogfighting operation in north Philly. This sanctimonious, self-absorbed twat should be hog-tied and gagged and dropped in the middle of 18th and Allegheny and left to his own devices. A mauling by pit bulls would be the only just, ironic outcome.
