Animal-rights terrorists allege poisoning of Pom juice containers

in a well coordinated action, 487 bottles of pom wonderful juices were tampered with along the Eastern seaboard in stores like wlld oats, d’agostino’s and food emporiums. those who drink the contaminated juice won’t die like the animals in pom labs, but the diarrhea, vomiting and headaches will hopefully send a strong message that people will no longer allow innocent defenseless animals to be tormented and killed for a health juice and to line the pockets of profiteers who dont have feelings for those weaker than they are.
at pom one week old baby mice are deprived of oxygen and then their brains cut open and rabbits have their arteries severed so they get erectile dysfunction so that pom wonderful can make money off the pain and suffering inflicted on animals inside the pom wonderful labs.
lynda resnik may have thought she designed a wonderful shaped bottle for her pomegranate juice, but the one week old mice and rabbits who scream in pain, don’t think its so pom wonderful. if you want to continue selling juice thats made from the blood of suffering animals lynda, we suggest you come up with a better tamper proof seal.
Sounds like salmonella, which makes sense — there’s precedent for nuts using that as a non-lethal bioweapon.
The FBI hasn’t confirmed it yet but they’re investigating. The message came from a group called the Animal Rights Militia, which seems to be an all-purpose moniker for terrorists of this stripe. A group by that name in the UK has been responsible for letter bombings and grave robbery.
Rather than drone on about it, I’ll offer you this from Penn & Teller’s show, er, “Bulls Hit.” The subject is PETA, which appears to take roughly the same ambiguous stance towards the jihadis in their movement as certain British Islamic groups take towards theirs. Needless to say with any P&T production, content warning.

Great. I have bottles of this at home. Back to vodka with my bagel in the morning….

What may make adults only mildly sick, may be fatal to an infant.
EF on December 20, 2006 at 3:09 PM
So by giving innocent people the trotskies they are saving what?
Sammy316 on December 20, 2006 at 3:17 PM
Does using shift key when typing also have some sort of negative effect on animals?
JaHerer22 on December 20, 2006 at 3:19 PM
The problem is that we just don’t understand animals. We need to send Jimmah and Waffles to discuss the issues with them.
dalewalt on December 20, 2006 at 3:23 PM
What if someone choked on their own vomit?
Anyway, why is it the PETA types don’t care about unborn children, I’m sorry - “fetuses”? They are constantly outraged, often based on lies they’ve been told by their leaders, but never have any concern for the 1.3 million babies murdered in this country every year. They can’t even express outrage for partial birth abortions done on babies that could survive outside the womb, yet instead they get scissors jammed in to their heads and their brains sucked out.
By the way, this brings to mind again the laws protecting eagles, their eggs, even their carcasses or parts of carcasses. If you handle or posess any of these you can face thousands of dollars in fines and substantial jail time. Priorties America!
Yeah, thank your friends for this by the way Honora.

It’s hard to completely fault the vegan jihadists. They’re confused and disoriented from being so malnourished.
flip on December 20, 2006 at 3:28 PM
Methinks PETA is taking the PITA thing a bit too far.
Arrest them and throw them to the dogs,how could they complain?

From the POM website
How do you go from 100% pomegranate juice to mouse & rabbit blood? What’s up with that??
KelliD on December 20, 2006 at 3:30 PM
You have all the finesse of a jack hammer. Jesus, lighten up.
honora on December 20, 2006 at 3:34 PM
Alchemy? I guess if the mouse and rabbit drank the juice, it would turn to blood, among other things. No wait, it has to be the other way around….Ok, my first answer was right, definitely alchemy.
honora on December 20, 2006 at 3:36 PM
EF:
Good point. Also the elderly and people sick with cancer or some other disease.
jaleach on December 20, 2006 at 3:42 PM
Honora is speaking directly to Jesus now. And telling him to lighten up. Or, she’s using his name as an expletive. Aren’t you a member of the tolerance and respect crowd, honora? You’re being flippant with the name of Jesus. Maybe next time you should write “Mohammad, lighten up” instead.
JustTruth101 on December 20, 2006 at 3:42 PM
Yeah, I don’t get it. What do baby mice brains and suffocating rabbits have to do with fruit juice? Something about the bottle design is a choking hazzard…..for baby mice?
I don’t understand. But then again, considering the source of the complaint…
What goes through their minds? To protest animal testing, let’s make people sick, perhaps a few will die.
Boggles the mind.
JetBoy on December 20, 2006 at 3:47 PM
Lighten up yourself, it was a joke…. You’re a liberal = these people are your friends.
RightWinged on December 20, 2006 at 3:52 PM
Totally ghey.
Fun fact: If animals never had contact with human beings each and every single one of them would live forever
Editor on December 20, 2006 at 3:52 PM
Well I may be talking to Jesus, and I may be talking to RightWinged. Either way, I’m not talking to you.
honora on December 20, 2006 at 3:52 PM
who’d be such an idiot to give pom juice to an infant??
pullingmyhairout on December 20, 2006 at 3:53 PM
good grief. give honora a break. jeez. he he he he he.
pullingmyhairout on December 20, 2006 at 3:54 PM
Oh, I get it. The way Fred Phelps is your friend.
honora on December 20, 2006 at 3:55 PM
RightWinged, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?
pullingmyhairout on December 20, 2006 at 3:56 PM
I wonder what their reaction would be if the muslims started to behead animals instead of captured Westerners?
SouthernGent on December 20, 2006 at 3:56 PM
DEATH to those that insult pagan animal worship! There are no prophets other than the Animal Rights Militia. PETA be praised!
Naah. Somehow it just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
CyberCipher on December 20, 2006 at 3:57 PM
Look, PETA=Liberals, but not Liberals=PETA. I can’t believe I’m sticking up for you Honora. Merry Christmas!!
pullingmyhairout on December 20, 2006 at 3:57 PM
Buddha people. What studies does a pomegrante juice company HAVE to do on animals anyway? Did they hit the wrong plant? Why haven’t they attacked KFC?
Next time I see PETA protesters I think I’m going to freak. Siddahartha f’ing Guatama people!
Keljeck on December 20, 2006 at 4:00 PM
What the heck is porn juice anyway? Oh, wait, it’s pom juice. Stupid font!
dalewalt on December 20, 2006 at 4:01 PM
Porn juice..heh…ugh…
EnochCain on December 20, 2006 at 4:05 PM
Not at all the same. Fred Phelps and his crew are Democrats, they supported Al Gore, and Phelps has even run for Governor as a Dem.
Not at all… I made a joke at Honora’s expense and he got all pissy telling me to lighten up. I simply explained that it was a joke and I was light enough already.
RightWinged on December 20, 2006 at 4:06 PM
Merry Christmas to you as well, pulling!!!
honora on December 20, 2006 at 4:09 PM
Why is everything that liberals don’t like framed in terms that it “violates the principles that this country is supposed to be founded on?” I’m pretty sure the founding fathers didn’t give a frack about animal rights, but in fairness, I’ll have to go check through my copy of Stuff Jefferson Said to be sure he never touched on it.
Dudley Smith on December 20, 2006 at 4:09 PM
I’ve seen this stuff in the stores, but don’t know what it is. I just thought it was fruit juice, organic fruit juice. What do mammals have to do with it? Do the Pom people force the mice to drink it?
Seriously. What’s up with Pom?
Pulchritudinous Patriot on December 20, 2006 at 4:09 PM
But they are against gay marriage. You are against gay marriage, therefore by your logic that concludes I support PETA because we share some liberal beliefs, you must support Phelps. See how this works?
honora on December 20, 2006 at 4:13 PM
Kids, kids, let’s just kiss and make up.
dalewalt on December 20, 2006 at 4:17 PM
If only they made bacon flavored Pom juice… mmmm… bacon…(gurgle)..
Trooper on December 20, 2006 at 4:18 PM
Most probably their parents. Infant is up to one year. Toddler up to two years. But, jaleach is correct — any child, the elderly, or anyone ill to begin with, is at greater risk than a healthy adult.
EF on December 20, 2006 at 4:19 PM
I’m with KelliD. The website says the juice is kosher certified. So what the hell are these idiots raving about. Do fruit juice companies have animal experimentation labs?
Also, it bothers me that this is their concern the same week a Ukrainian stem cell clinic was accused of dissecting live infants to harvest cells. But I guess between mice and babies we know what’s important to them.
John on December 20, 2006 at 4:20 PM
Ok, this just get better. Pamela Anderson no less.

They apparently use animals to back up their health claims so yes I guess they do “force” the mice to drink it. It’s pomegranate juice and is supposed to be wildly good for you. Not great tasting but who knew mice had such a discriminating palate?
honora on December 20, 2006 at 4:21 PM
How does one know which are tampered?
natesnake on December 20, 2006 at 4:24 PM
Pamela Anderson was simply confused. She thought they were experimenting on MAMMARIES. She is ok with mammals- she’s not even certain what one is.
Sorry everyone it is a slow day at work.
Trooper on December 20, 2006 at 4:26 PM
Ok. Confession time. I support The Humane Society, and other animal organizations. I sign petitions and stuff. However, this is ridiculous. I’m pretty sure HSUS wouldn’t be happy about this, as this won’t want to make people pay more attention to animal rights, only want revenge and fight back against them. Stupid maneuver, to say the least.
amerpundit on December 20, 2006 at 4:28 PM
While I’m not supporting those who would pick on you (though, seeing as it was just a joke, you’re being a little sensitive about it), it’s just not the same.
You and liberals like PETA people will vote for the same person. Those of us here on the Right and Phelps, will not. Phelps ran as a Democrat. You may as well try and claim Hillary is our “friend” because she hasn’t embraced the anti-war movement.
Esthier on December 20, 2006 at 4:28 PM
So liberals are all of one bent, conservatives not. Got it. How could I have been so confused….
honora on December 20, 2006 at 4:33 PM
There is an interesting theory that groups like PETA, albeit fruitcakes, serve a purpose. They are to the Humane Society as Malcolm X was to Martin Luther King. Makes the demands of the less radical more acceptable to the majority. Think there is something to that.
honora on December 20, 2006 at 4:36 PM
Kiss Honora? Eeeewwwww! I’d rather kiss Fred Phelps — and before you post, the answer is no, I am not gay. Come to think of it, kissing Fred would REALLY freak him out — knowing how he talks about gays. Anybody wanta’ volunteer?
CyberCipher on December 20, 2006 at 4:36 PM
Who the heck is HE (mentioned here), what’s on third, where is this all going? Is Who on first?
If the whole pom-porn (not popcorn) thingy and mice with broken ‘thingy’s’ and research didn’t already confuse me…you all sure the heck did.
CAN WE START OVER?
shooter on December 20, 2006 at 4:48 PM
The Penn & Teller’s Bullsh*t episode on PETA is really amazing.
I’d like to point out though, Allahpundit, that there needn’t be a content warning with any P&T production. Penn & Tller’s magic acts do not normally contain much profanity. They cuss on the Bullsh*t show to avoid legal trouble: If they were to call people frauds, or liars, they could be sued for slander, but as “vulgar abuse” is not legally considered slanderous, they refer to them as *ssh*les and m*therf*ckers.
Free Kurdistan on December 20, 2006 at 4:53 PM
I believe RightWinged is under the impression that Honora’s a male; though I think she’s a female.
I don’t know’s on third.
Where isn’t playing.
Yes.
Better?
dalewalt on December 20, 2006 at 4:55 PM
Is that kosher? :-p
Btw the problem with animal rights terroists is that everyone thinks of them, laughs, and barely pays attention. no one investigates, no one questions and no one gets arrested. ELF (Earth Liberation Front - one of these eco-terrorist groups) burnt a multi-million dollar apartment complex two miles from my house to the ground. That was in 03, no arrests, no questioning, no clue. THATS BS!
Defector01 on December 20, 2006 at 4:56 PM
More than that. The people who made this threat, whether they actually tampered with the juice or not and whether anyone becomes sick or not, are looking at serious jail time. They have no right to terrorize people and cost this business millions of dollars worth of business.
EF on December 20, 2006 at 4:56 PM
Diarrhea can’t kill you? Since when? Ever heard of dehydration? I have. Thousands of people die every year because of diarrhea.
Diarrhea is a terrible condition, I know as I have Crohn’s and suffer from chronic diarrhea and I have been hospitalized several time a year because if it. It can lead to low potassium levels in the blood and that is a SERIOUS medical condition that can, and does, lead to death. Combine that with vomiting and the loss of nutrient uptake this causes and you have a great threat to your life.
Make no mistake about this, the perpetrators of this have put people’s lives in danger and these people should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
RedinBlueCounty on December 20, 2006 at 5:00 PM
Well it’s back to Taco Bell for me…..
honora on December 20, 2006 at 5:00 PM
This savvy PR strategy should really win over the masses. I’m surprised these intellectual titans hadn’t thought of this already.
I’m so glad a new age of civility has descended upon us.
JammieWearingFool on December 20, 2006 at 5:21 PM
I’m confused. How much money is there in the “one week old baby mice are deprived of oxygen and then their brains cut open” market? I’d like to get in on that.
Kevin M on December 20, 2006 at 5:22 PM
Lol, you guys are right, I forgot… honora’s a broad. I just learned that last week, and it totally slipped my mind.
Well for starters, they hate gays and chant about them going to hell at soldiers funerals. I simply don’t believe in gays, and don’t hate anyone (though Rosie O’Donnell and all of the “Truthers” are close).
I see what you’re going for though, which for one is pointless because it was a joke. You were the first one to comment here, you’re a far left loon, these PETA people are far left loons. Despite the fact that I could resonably assume you don’t agree with them, I made a sarcastic crack that you could thank them for us. You told me to lighten up, yet you’ve gone on about Fred Phelps (who again is a Democrat former Gore supporter) in this little tit-for-tat.
Bored/hungry… later
RightWinged on December 20, 2006 at 5:29 PM
If ALF or whatever they call themselves this week, poison people’s food, then I’m in favor of holding Ingrid Newkirk directly and personally responsible. PETA’s Newkirk holds the relationship to ALF as Gerry Adams had to the Provos — they’re both terrorist fronts.
And if my family is a victim, she had better find a deep cellar in another country to hide in to avoid service.
Because when discovery finds collusion with domestic terrorism, the racketeering charge will be the least of PETA’s problems.
georgej on December 20, 2006 at 6:20 PM
“recieved anonymously…”
what bulls**t. recieved “anonymously” from the guy sitting next to you at the spokescouncil meeting.
“so justice, what did you do this weekend?” (nudge nudge wink wink)
“nothing i would, for no particular reason, want to talk to the feds about, but be sure check your e-mail this afternoon” (yanks on earlobe)
(puts finger beside nose)
jummy on December 20, 2006 at 6:34 PM
Yeah, the propagandist has pretty weak communication skills. Apparently, the animals are given the pomegranate juice and then subjected to different “stressors” to test the effectiveness of pomegranate juice in reducing the injury, speeding the healing process, or something like that.
Kralizec on December 20, 2006 at 6:47 PM
Not only that, he/she can’t capitalize to save their lives. Ugh. The whole thing reads like something from a 12 year old’s AOL chat room. (Although I may be insulting 12 year olds by saying that.)
Typical PETA, just a bunch of spoiled rotten children who have no idea what real suffering is, so they have to make up their own traumas. Much like most liberals today.
I just want to know one thing; At what point will we as a society refuse to put up with this crap anymore and start ostracizing these people? (Although the way some of them act, perhaps a good old-fashioned public flogging would be a better idea.)
wearyman on December 20, 2006 at 7:32 PM
I still don’t get the Pom to one week old mice connection. Like Snow said, it must be a slow day at the Peta office. I hear Peta is going after car windshields next…ave the butterfly.
right2bright on December 20, 2006 at 7:59 PM
That is… save the butterfly.
right2bright on December 20, 2006 at 8:01 PM
Whoa, whoa there! This is the lamest thread I can even remember, and I’ve spent too many minutes wondering why RW took off after honora in the first place. Let’s at least get something out of this … so which is it, honora: plain or fancy?
Jaibones on December 20, 2006 at 8:54 PM
Well, I’m going to kill a stray cat in response….
Tim Burton on December 20, 2006 at 9:07 PM
Don’t forget to check the Federalist papers. I think it is in chapter 86 or 87….
Tim Burton on December 20, 2006 at 9:14 PM
If this is true, then pretty much all soft-drink makers must subject animals to this kind of testing…I assume so they can/cannot make any false claims about the products properties.
And if that’s the case, the PETA people sure would have a looong list of tainting to do…
JetBoy on December 21, 2006 at 1:11 AM
Seen that video. Loved it.
One Angry Christian on December 21, 2006 at 10:22 AM
I read the whole press release behind the link, and the funniest part to me is the talk of how the “revolutionaries” now have to fight from the “underground” because of all the tough laws being enacted against their idiotic (and clearly illegal)behavior. Somebody should tell them that pansies never waged a successful coup… “armchair revolutionaries” like them seem to care much more about appearances and personal glory than the causes they’re purportedly fighting for. These are the same idiots who think that they’re “enlightened” because they can find heroism in terrorism… their college professors are probably to blame for that lunacy.
Also, as a result of reading the “anonymous” memo, I think I’ve now contracted “stupid” for Christmas… thanks a lot!
thepuke on December 21, 2006 at 10:30 AM
That’s funny, the people who shop at those places are generally the ones who agree with their fruitbat ideas. They should have poisoned the Pom at WalMart.
Radish on December 21, 2006 at 11:23 AM
Fancy. Real fancy.
And I must respectfully disagree with your assessment of this thread, there have been many, many lamer threads than this one. I should know, I’m usually involved. :^)
