Just heard this on the radio.......WOW

I guess Vizquel wants to become a bull fighter in the off season...

Omar Vizquel

c/o Texas Rangers

Dear Mr. Vizquel, On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our more than 2 million members and supporters, including many Texas Rangers fans and thousands of residents in the Dallas area, I'm writing to urge you to nix your off-season plans to learn bullfighting. We know that you have hit only one home run this year, but if you're looking for a way to prove that you can perform, believe me, torturing an already weakened animal won't impress anyone.

In bullfighting, the bull doesn't stand a chance. Even before the matador enters the ring, the animal is beaten in the kidneys and stabbed in the neck to wear him down. Bulls are also often fed laxatives to debilitate them further, and petroleum jelly is smeared into their eyes to affect their vision. By the time the matador steps into the ring, the bulls are weaker than--oh, forgive me--a shortstop with a career OPS below .700.

If you're looking for a thrill while you're home in Venezuela, go skydiving, take up drag racing, or challenge Hugo Chavez to an arm-wrestling match. But with all due respect, please leave animal abuse out of your midlife crisis.

Sincerely,

Dan Shannon

Director of Campaigns

I don't think with comments like that they are going to persuade him to do much:hammer1:

If any other "organization" conducted itself as childish and over the top as these losers, they'd have absolutely no credibility and people would not take them seriously...yet they're always in the news and they're the first group the media goes to when animals are in the news...so stupid.

I don't get it.

I had been up in Salt Lake one day and there were a lot of PETA members protesting animal fur...couple of my friends and I had some fur coats and vests...so we went over and started "protesting" with them....only we were saying stuff like "Fur Coats...not only are they warm, they're VERY stylish" and other stuff like that....

not the smartest thing to do, but we were getting tired of it....they almost killed us...it was pretty funny. yeah it was rude...but it sure got our adrenaline rushing....LoL

I'd write back and go.

"well thank you for the information if the bull is as bad of a player as I am than I should be able to hold my own. Your information in preparing for my new career was a great help. thank you and keep the good information coming.

P.S. the red stains on the bottom of my page are from the ribeye steak I was eatting...sorry for the mess."
